First fish of the season
« on: Dec 02, 2007, 10:44 PM »
Went fishing for the first time this weekend both saturday and sunday. Ice looked real good with about 6 inches, although there is alot of snow on top now. Caught quite a few but most were pretty small. Kept 11 on sunday.

Cant wait to start fishing, wish I was there. Just read some reports of "HOT" walleye action on audobon, 2lb average. Christmas break is too far away, might have to check things out this weekend ;D


Good lookin fish too, nice colors.





EDIT: thats a good looking hali, where did you find such a fine lure??? ;)

Yeah the walls get all wet in there from condensation due to the heater, then if it gets cold enough they freeze up like that.

The quickfish is a pretty decent unit for the money. Its nice and roomy and fits very easily into my car, and also is easy to haul onto the lake in the backpack. Its not to bad to setup and take down unless its real windy. Having no floor makes it colder, and using a heater inside will generally melt some snow and ice so you are stuck sitting in a pool of water all day. I probably would get something else if i had a pickup, but this works good for now.

Beautiful fish guys. Must be nice to step out on the ice for the first time this season.. Ive still got a bit of a wait not much ice here in NY yet. Luckily i live on the Susquehanna River and have been slayin the eyes, up until about two weeks ago when the river rose...thank god for deer season.

Good luck and Tight Lines
