Ft. Peck 2006 (This is big in more ways than one)
« on: Feb 19, 2006, 01:35 PM »
The annual 10 day trip is complete. The weather was a tad bit brutal at the end of the trip and I have no doubt that a day or two we reached thirty to forty below with the wind chill. Fortunately for us the fishing prior to the cold front rocked and we caught some real pigs this go round. Two Pike over 20, three Walleyes over 12, one Walleye over 11 and on over 10. Plenty of other Pike and Lakers ranging from low to high teens and plenty of smaller Walleye and Ling that we did not photo. The Ling ran small this year with our best about 8 lbs. Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure.

Me with three Walleye I caught. Two were over 12 and one was over ten




Then my buddy Duker with one of his big Walleye. Duker had another big one I must not have photographed.


Some nice Northerns. The first bunch is Dukers catch. One of these fish was 21 lbs and another was 22 lbs although I cant remember which was which. The rest were in the mid to high teens.




My buddy Pete (Pickeral Pete) with a dandy Northern.


Me with some nice Northerns I caught.




And another of my friends, Brian, who was a late comer on the trip, looking stylish in his ice survival suit and holding a decent Pike.


Then a few Lakers. Duker with the first couple.



Then Pete with a very frozen Laker. It was so cold, this fish was frozen solid in 10 minutes.


Those were pretty much the highlites of the trip, or at least the fish that I had the presence of mind to photograph. The other interesting occurrance was when the Coyotes ran a big Mulie buck onto the ice into the middle of the bay we were fishing. This occurred between our night and morning runs. This deer was at least a half mile from any shore line and really fought for his life. Unfortunately he lost the battle. The photos are a bit graphic but it depicts a real life mother nature struggle between the strong and the weak and between predator and prey. If it makes anyone feel any better, we did avenge this killing with some Coyote killing of our own.

Do the leaves of trees stay greener, in the autumn, does the colour of the sun, turn crimson white? Does a shadow come between us, in the winter?

Thanks for all the nice comments. We appreciate it very much. My ultimate goal is to get some of our Ice Shanty bretheren out on the ice with us one of these years. We would like nothing better to get some of you out there with us on our annual trip. This was my 11th straight year and I plan on going every year until the day I die. You are 100% correct AirManCam about the size of Ft. Peck which is a Missouri river reservoir. It is 134 miles long and has 1520 miles of shoreline which is more than the entire coast of California. It has a max depth of 220 feet and the dam itself is 21,026 feet long (3.8 miles) and 250 feet high. There are 50 known species of fish that swim in Ft. Peck including Sturgeon and Paddlefish. It is also home to the World Record Sauger and the World Record Saugeye.

As usual, I am not disappointed by those pics. What an amazing trip that must be! Congrats :thumbsup:.
Do you guys fish the same exact area(s) each year or does the whole reservoir have that spectacular fishing?
