well today walleye season is done ..... I feel a little sad but I had the best season ever casting jigging and pulling them on the ice ...... had some great times this whole season ,meet some new friends and got some good advice from that fellow old fart Freddie on fall fishing .....I had a lot of fun ......I still think perch taste better tho :roflmao:
-
Hey Trapper. If the perch taste better you'd better give me all your walleye. :woot: :woot: :woot:

Trapps is right given a choice I’d eat a perch over an eye , not that hand picked 15.5-17”eyes arent bad I eat my share of those 🍽
-
Those eyes got off easy this winter! It was a great year for sure. I am ready to do it all over again.

I second that thought :clap: :clap: :clap: :icefish:

I prefer to call it the spring break not the end. We take a little break from fishing walleye to give them a rest and in about 1-1/2 months we are back at them. I look foreword to opening day in May when several of my friends and I get together for Walleye Weekend. Hopefully the Walleye bite will be on for the opener.
-
Yeah the boat is ready to go this year (new last spring), can't wait! I've been on a 3 week break from ice fishing due to bad ice conditions and a heavy work load. But with this new cold snap I'm going to go check my March perch hole. Missed the March bite the last 2 years and feared it was over early again. Now if the snow will knock off and settle.

Had a great time on close waters chasing 'eyes on Whitney Point this year. I have historically been just a perch guy that went north to find them but decided to try my luck at WP and had a blast. Met some new buddies (yup, ran into bigal a few times ;D) and always managed to catch and keep a few. Definitely looking forward to getting out in the boat in May to chase them again. Thanks for all the pointers, tips, and camaraderie guys. Hope to see you out there again soon!! :)

I’ll tell trapp to give you a discount , I would hate to see a guy get jammed up for some chezzy poofs lol

Always sad to see march 15 come .... I usually take the day off and fish all day but have been plowing and shoveling snow all week .... Was a great year for sure .... I agree with trapper about perch being tastier than walleye, however the challenge of catching walleye and the unique way they bite will always make them my favorite fish .... By the way I prefer bluegill for table fare over walleye and perch ;D time to get after the panfish now ....
-
Maybe next year Ill fish the big eyes a little more, only chased after them 3 times , and some big flats
-
Filet are you talking about fishing Lake Ontario ? I never made it there this year, hopefully next year will be different ...
-
oh blue gills are my favorite fish without doubt

They would be Lake Ontario eyes , I don’t get up your way , I try and keep my trips no more than 1.5 hrs from home
-
I usually don't travel more than a couple hours myself .... although usually we get a group of friends together and make an overnight road trip ... we never made it happen this year ...
-
Roadtrip, PA? Some waters there are year round, no?

you do know we can always go down and toss jigs for brown trout at my favorite spot ;D
-
Always hate to see the end of walleye season and ice season come to an end. I look forward to a fresh start to the season and enjoy opening weekend with some good buddys though. Then it’s on to jigging the summer away with Freddie and Shane which is always a hoot! Next thing ya know it’s time to fling arrows at deer and shore casting in the fall and waiting for ice up....then repeat ;D
-
Did an ice check at favorite spot and the ice is toast. Just to much snow on top of rotten ice kept the cold from working its magic. Checked on a couple other lakes near by on the drive home, same story, that put a fork in it for me.
-
We still have over a foot of ice in a few bays .... The problem is most places have weak spots and standing water on the edges and the old holes are huge and covered with heavy snow now ..... Had a friend get wet yesterday scared him pretty bad, he picked a bad spot to get on the ice at the boat launch should have known better ....
-
I’m not giving up quite yet on those perch
-
I went ice fishing today. Over 12" still where I went. ;D ;D

Not over yet. Perch bite was on fire today let a bunch of go too. By the looks of the forecast the ice That is still around shouldn’t be going anywhere
-
Beauties! Wish we still had good ice down my way- you guys are making me jealous!
-
Crazy, we still have 14" in central Ma!
-
About an hour east of me has a few spots with 10 inches or so. Almost all open water within an hour of here :'(. Walleye are closed now and the closest good perch water is almost 2 hours north
-
Yeah we had over 2ft of ice we’re i was today on Oneida. Not great ice it won’t take much to turn it into a mess but if the days don’t warm too much we’ll get another week at least
