Was a great day, arrived to a pink sky and no wind, with +3.

Within the first 10 minutes of having our lines in we we're hooking pike.

Caught a total of 11 throughout the day from 7am-3pm on rods mostly, only 1 on the tip ups.

Fish cops came in to say hello to us, came right in my tent, congratulated us on our excellent fish handling skills, and proper release. Said its nice seeing young guys showing respect and care for wildlife.

Pictures:

Notice my highlighter pants waterninja,

The only tipup fish, haha:

Biggest guy of the day, tipped the scales at 9 lbs 6 oz. Fish cops were checking my tent during the picture haha.

Tight lines everyone, happy free fishing weekend.

i'm taking my family out to Wabamun tomorrow, care to share the location of your lucky spot?

There will be pre drilled holes and hot chocolate tomorrow at wag. Almost anywhere you go on that lake and you will catch a fish if not a big pike

How is it getting around on the ice out there? Might head out tommorow.

on tuesday was out on the lake with a 2wd ford ranger, and seen a guy drive out with his car.

Nice pictures - looks like you guys had a good day.

I am pleased to hear about the presence of the CO's out there. I would be more than happy to see them twice a day than twice in a lifetime.

Did they ask about barbed hooks? just curious....

Richmuiz · #12 02-17-2013, 12:12 PM

Safety D · #17 02-22-2013, 02:02 PM

NO way it is. Just have to know how to fish it to consistantly catch 34 to 44 inch fish

YeeHaw · #18 02-22-2013, 03:42 PM

Out at Wab now, and man is it slow. Tried by the tressle, with only one bite for a couple hours. At fallis now and seen one fish pulled up between seven ppl.

Safety D · #19 02-22-2013, 04:11 PM

Try off rr 44 in the weedbed just to the right about 8 feet of water. Have to go about 700 yards out. Some big ones around there. Few fish but some hens !!! It is pretty dead compared to last year but put in your time and you will be rewarded !!

I know just had to borrow your tag line. We had 3 fish 36 to 38 inch last Friday. Being Wab still not worthy of posting pics gonna wait for the pike over 40 inch.
