What you gotta do is get someone to shoot you in the leg or something. Then you get workers compensation and time off to go fishing

I hate working. Screws my fishing schedule right up

Great perch Lance. It is great to leave work and go fishing but sucks to leave fishing to go to work!!!!

bigredonice · « **Reply #97 on:** Jan 14, 2006, 07:35 PM »

Got out for 2 hours fishing in the pouring rain this morning. The ice was a solid 8"-10" and the old holes hadn't even started to open. The edges were a little scary though $:-\$

Got on some fish that my buddy Carl has been tracking for a few days now, and he put us on 'em.

Here's Carl with two big ol' crappies that he caught back to back. They were released after the photo.

My take-home.

Nice big rocky. They sure do fight hard.

that was it for today...still two days left on my weekend, and I will be getting out both days hopefully.

actually, it was so foggy, we couldn't find the spot first thing in the morning...took us a little while before we got on it. Stayed foggy and calm for the few hours we were there. No need to hide the background when mother nature does it for me

How big was that pig in your buddys left hand.

kaybe15fishgirl · « **Reply #107 on:** Jan 16, 2006, 05:29 PM »

The crappies are pretty nice job... but the rock bass is nasty looking!

It definitely looked like a fun time!

I like to release the big breeder females if I have enough other fish for a meal...I'd rather those big ones spawn again and spread those big fish genes around

bigredonice · « **Reply #111 on:** Jan 16, 2006, 09:53 PM »

Knew it was going to be cold on the lake today...and it was...but the fish were biting. Started out an hour before first light for eyes. My buddies and I could only muster 2 rock bass. At 8 o'clock my 2 buddies decided they had enough of the cold breeze (they had a shanty and heater

) Brought 'em back to shore, and went for perch solo. Got 'em pretty good too.

Caught enough to keep things interesting, including some real nice ones.

Here's the biggest perch of the day.

Got some bronze carp aka smallmouth, but they really didn't fight at all. They came up like a wet towel.

Later in the day I had moved around the edge of a shallow flat for some more perch. I was pleasantly surprised when I reeled up to a suspended mark, and got nailed by a 20" eye.

The fish fought like hell on 4lb test equipment, but the St. Croix UL had plenty enough back bone to keep the eye under control. Believe it or not, that eye was a Male.

Had some sculpins in his belly

Also got an odd looking 10.5" hump back male perch. Wish they were all shaped this way. Extra meat!

My keepers on the day

well its back to work for four days, then another two days of ice fishing. I can't wait!

camo_fish · « **Reply #112 on:** Jan 16, 2006, 09:59 PM »

sculpin

looks like madtoms or baby catfish, that one. It has hardspur fins.. $:-\$
very nice spread of perch. Did you park at brown's, "have to pay?"
very nice, looks like I've got to get out in the main lake.

bonkfan14 · « **Reply #113 on:** Jan 17, 2006, 07:21 AM »

Nice perch and eyes too! I like the one of that slob being brought out of his domain!!!

Looks like a great day on the ice - WTG!!!

Its been awhile since the last update. I was out with Fishingking and Bussman last weekend on Saturday, did a little fishing at a lake that was new to us - Loon lake - the fishing sucked too

Here's fishingking walking through the nasty standing water before the big winds hit.

The only keeper on the day (released)

Went out Sunday again with Fishingking, but met up with Dwaytkus and his friends for some 'gillage. Lots of pumpkinseeds to go around, but not many of the meatier bluegills, still enough for a delicious meal though

Got out this Sunday with Bartman44 for some more jigging. Lots of perch, but not too many big ones. I ended up losing a nice smallie at the hole at one point, put my spoon right back down and pulled up another, smaller smallmouth.

Bartman had to quit around noonish, so on the way back in we hit a rockbar to see if anything was biting, and the smallies were hot. We both ended up getting some.

Here's Bartman unhooking another hard fighting bronze carp

Met up with Hookset and co. at his awesome hardside. That thing is SWEET!!!

After shootin' the bull with the guys for a bit, I headed over for some evening eyes. The rain was really coming down hard, but I figured If I stuck it out I would be rewarded. I was...with one 7" smalleye

Oh well. I waited till the rain stopped to get back off the lake. I'm pretty sure I was the last one out there.

Here's the keepers on the day, 6 real nice perch.

dwaytkus · « **Reply #116 on:** Jan 29, 2006, 09:35 PM »

Great perch Lance. And very nice smallies.

camo_fish · « **Reply #117 on:** Jan 29, 2006, 09:46 PM »

very nice lance,

miss fishing with ya, got to ditch the job and go fishing sometime with the Camo.

Very nice report and some excellent looking fish too. Yea, I bet the rain yesterday suk'd and Hookset hardside was a nice warm spot to watch some TV.

WTG bud.
