Looks like you guys had fun! Is that at the twin valley dam, if it is i hooked a couple pike right at that spot where you guys fished, but in late fall, and nothing bigger then what you guys/girls had there.

All the pike i caught there had no teeth, did you notice this by any chance?

goober · #4 03-17-2009, 07:32 AM

Looks good guy's!! I have the same boots you are wearing FG. The Texans down here thought I was insane for wearing such a "stupid looking water shoe"!!

Some of the warmest boots I have ever owned!

Buck Krazy · #5 03-17-2009, 10:12 AM

These were from Travers... I have never in my life seen a pike with no teeth, kinda weird though, some people think they lose their teeth but I am yet to see it.

The only reason it didn't work is you missed one [ in front of the first IMG

And thanks for the pics everyone

Sweet pictures guys. I would love to join up with anyone heading out this coming Saturday for a day of ice fishing.

By the way, I have always wanted to learn how to catch those whitefish through the ice, what are the chances one of you could share the technique and possibly a lake I cold try for them at? It would be greatly appreciated.

Let me know if you are all heading out somewhere this weekend.

Great photos, cheers.

Rumtan · #11 03-17-2009, 01:39 PM

Thanks for the help...im puter illiterate...lol No it didnt come from a little trout pond sorry....it came from my fav spot out North East but there were a ton more but we kept only 11. If you are interested in joining me some Sunday, drop me a pm and i`d be glad to have you join us. My secret spot is open to anyone but I just rather you join us than tell you (keeps a secret spot secret).

Mish · #12 03-17-2009, 01:50 PM

Great pics, fantastic fishing buddies, best hardwater weekend I've ever had

Duck Hunt · #13 03-17-2009, 09:11 PM

Just wondering, was the rock kept or was it safely released back to it's waters? Nice fish too!

Buck Krazy · #14 03-18-2009, 11:59 AM

Hey Ducky, yes the rock was returned safely to help ensure the future generations will still have the great rock fishing we have today!

Mish · #15 03-18-2009, 12:06 PM

The guy wanted to have the rock mounted...but out of respect for happy perch fisher, we convinced him to let her go...she was obviously heavy with eggs.

Buck Krazy · #16 03-18-2009, 01:13 PM

Yeah he could get a replica done though

Private Ear · #17 03-18-2009, 01:43 PM

There is a whole pile of pre-made replicas just south of the city. Maybe he could find a match!

Penner · #18 03-18-2009, 01:54 PM

Nice looking catches there!

Wow that first white is an absolute pig. Its a whole different game landing brutes like that! You didn't hand-line it did you?

Thanks!! Didn't hand line the white, but this past weekend was my first time catching a white, first time catching a ling, and first time hand lining a fish (pike). I still can't stop grinning.

Raven · #22 03-19-2009, 12:24 AM

I bet!! That's a hell of a start of the whitefish! Pike on a tip-up? Sure is fun watching those flags fly and spindals spinning

Cal · #23 03-19-2009, 08:41 AM

Lol the bigest pike I ever caught through the ice I caught on a handline (never even used a real rod through the ice untill a couple winters ago) It was one of those sticks with the ends notched and the line wrapped end to end so I couldnt feed line very well. Got my hands all cut up from the line and on one run I ended up sticking my arm down the hole to try and give him more line, finaly got him though.

Mish · #24 03-19-2009, 08:51 AM

Handlining is fun, I'm very tempted to drop two tip ups instead of a tip up and a rod next time I'm out...it's so fun to haul them in! Although, it's a little scarier to have that giant mouth coming at your hands instead of a rod tip.

Cal · #25 03-19-2009, 09:07 AM

Untill I moved up to slave I caught most of my pike on tipups. They usualy out fished my handline anyways. I used to put bells on them and then I could study, read, shoot my bow, light a fire etc... In slave for some reason they dont seem to hit the tipups... ever! When I go to other lakes I still catch fish on them but in two years I think I've caught one small pike out of slave on a tipup and very few bites as well.

Mish · #26 03-19-2009, 09:27 AM

That's weird, people seem to swear by tip ups. Maybe the fish of Slave Lake are smarter.

Cal · #27 03-19-2009, 09:39 AM

I dunno what it is, when I first got here I thought it was weird that nobody used them, now I see why. Maby if I got some of those ones that jig the bait for you they might work.

Mish · #28 03-19-2009, 09:41 AM

Always worth a try. Are you jigging your rod?

Cal · #29 03-19-2009, 09:59 AM

Yeah, depending on the bait I jig it alot or a little. most of the pike I catch on an unbaited ratling rapala jigged pretty agressively between pauses. If I'm using a baited jig or a spoon I dont move it as much but still more action than my tip up. One thing I used to do a few years back was freez a regular fishing rod into the slush and hanging a big bobber halfway between the rod tip and the ice so that the wind would blow the bobber around, I guess I could see if that works, after lunch I'll give it a shot, may as well make the most of the economy going down the crapper eh?

Mish · #30 03-19-2009, 10:14 AM

Sounds like a jigging tip up might do the trick then! Hey, you're putting food on the table and you're fishing. Could be worse things
