Default Who is done for the season?

I am ! Not a very good hard water season for me. Only two times out when it should have been 10 to 20. Caught 6 small perch all season. May the fish & oppertunity gods smile on me next year. Northern Saskatawan trip next year is in the plan. No plans for any summer fishing planed for this guy this year.
How was your season?

im definitely not done. I love ice fishing every weekend as much as open water fishing. Made alot of good trips this winter and more importantly to mei learned alot by exploring multiple new lakes. Still got one weekend left here and am going out to gull next weekend to officially wrap up the 13/14 hard water season. I wish everyone a good last few trips before everything gets put awy for the season. Your trip up to northern Sask. should be awesome Kim. hope you take lots of pics and post them up on here cant wait to see

This is the first year I've never made it out. Been dealing with a neck and back injury.

I fished my last hardwater day this past Friday.

I should be on my boat in the next couple weeks if this wind keeps up and opens up some places I fish in the spring when everything else is closed.

I guess I had better get my act together and get my boat all fixed up and rewired before my open water season starts.

I'm dying to catch a few more Dino's too. It's the main thought I look forward to this summer. I'm heading to the fraser in July and August aswell around chilliwack.

Will be on the ice for probably another month yet, depending on ice conditions and if I get my auger back I lent out. (Before ppl jump on me, trout lakes are open after the 31'st.) might go to Alberta beach tomorrow or Tuesday, want to take the motorcycle out fishing just for shays and giggles.

Today was spent playing with the mighty eelpout . A copper rattlin rap with the front treble removed and a white gulp curly tail in the back treble out fished a jig and a minnow. Had many double headers which is fun when you are by yourself!

I'm thinkin the hard water season is only 1/2 over, got lots of ice time to go before I call it ! As well, need to keep the Sylvan Lake Report thread going to March 31, & then there's the closing ceremony... perhaps at the Sylvan Legion!

I agree with Water ...... lots of Trout lakes/ponds still open in April!
