Was good to get out and meet some of the guys!! I think I need one of those tents........that is the way to ice fish for sure.

Ugh...thank jebus there was nothing but pride hurt on that one....I'll save that story for tomorrow :o

Definitely an awesome day out on the ice...certainly no size records set today, but plenty of action for everybody involved :)

After getting skunked last time I was out it was sure fun to catch 40+ fish, even though only a couple would have *maybe* been worth keeping.

Definitely gotta aim for something a little bigger next time though :evilgrin:

I'll post the few pics I took tomorrow morning :wave:

Good meeting you too! :wave:

And yeah, the tent is definitely the way to go...not feasable for me this season, but you can bet I'll have one by next hardwater season :cool:

sounds like you guys had fun. glad you didnt get skunked! lots of that going around these last days

Was fun and appreciate ya guys letting me in on the tent warmth, made things heaps better. Even if I only got the second biggest perch. :evilgrin:
Err.. btw if anyone ended up with an extra set of black fishing pliers I think I left em in the tent!
Jay

Nope, we definitely didn't get skunked :) With all the perch down there, Hasse is starting to seem a lot like Enchant sounds...TONS of fish, but all little guys.

Sadly nobody managed to catch any of the rainbows lurking around in there, but there was a baby pike spotted down one of the holes.

Who was the FWO who came out to visit us yesterday?

I completely forgot my manners and didn't introduce myself :o

Sorry couldn't make it out at the last min guys...Daughters little beta fish died...ironic...Thought she would not have an issue as it we go fishin all the time.

She had a meltdown...and we went pet fish shopping all day.

should of brought her out with her fish bowl we could of caught her a dozen "pets"...:lol::lol:

I did pick up a pair of plyers, we'll meet up soon hopeully on the ice and I'll get them to you:wave:I think we should be planning outting 2.1 gents.

Agreed! Would love to go for pike next time or something that will fill my frying pan at least (gotta feed 3 kids yanno) hehe... Jackfish is the only lake I really know cus it's handily close to town but I'd be open to a reasonable trip wherever.

Aiming for North Buck on Sat if anyone is game...good way to nurse a hangover

That was me, was nice talking to you guys. :)

Good meeting you too :) Maybe next time you can come join us 'off the clock' and nab a few fish as well...we'll just have to aim for something a little bigger than the pike bait we were catching on Monday! :lol:

Any pics to share for those of us who couldn't be there???

Just a couple...still on the cam but I'll get 'em up tomorrow :)

Happy New Year bud! :wave:

Same to you Jay....looking forward to the pics.

Sorry for the delay on the pics guys...better late than never!

It was a frosty morning!

nice pics Jay. I thought I had lost my camera but found it at the bottom of my bag after I got home.
So no pictures from me.

Yeah, I kinda forgot about my camera for a while...I should have been snapping some pics of the massive perch we were pulling out of there! :lol:

I'll have to remember to take a few more next time around :)

good pics jay, Need to get out again I think I may ditch work one day this week if anyone is interested in heading out to Wabamun let me know.:wave:

nice pics, Im glad we arent the only ones living in Siberia lately. I cant believe we go out in that stuff for fun!!!! but hey, it IS fun :lol: IM actually starting to hate winter a little bit less

It was actually not too bad out that morning...felt balmy compared to the last time we went out and the high for the day never got warmer than about -32 :lol:

I recall reading somewhere that ice fishermen are masochists...and I tend to agree with that idea :lol:

I know for sure, If I didnt have a tent I wouldnt have been out probably 9 out of the 10 times Ive been out this season, maybe even 10 :lol: the shelter and heater makes all the difference in the world

No kidding! A tent and heater are definitely on my wish list for next hardwater season :cool:

\I got a tent I could probably lend you for the season . I think I can trust you , I know where you fish in the SPring and summer . :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Wow, looks like I missed out!
 

My fault, I haven't been spending enough time keeping tabs on this site!! lol . I am so there if there is another meet up. a 2.1 if you will . I will be watching for this big time.
I am soooo jealous right now!! lol

Well I'm heading out on thursday to wabamun if anyone wants to meet up. Or i'll be straight out from the main pier in the icebube:wave:

Yeah, I'm not too hard to find! :lol:

You're a good man John, and though I may not have much of a hard water season left, I'm hoping to get out on a trip with my dad, a couple of my uncles and maybe a cousin as well. All the guys get together once a year and it's been a long time since I've been able to make it out, so I'm really hoping I can make it work around this Onion Lake thing.

Anyway, if ya trust me with it, I might ask you if I can borrow it for a few days around the end of the month :)
