Nice - "Fillet and Release" is an excellent method. Fried perch is delicious. |
| _________________________________________ [Jan 3,2011 7:35am - largefreakatzero ""] Lost one and put one on the ice on Saturday. Was a little slow, but managed this nice 20" laker: [img] Dogs weren't pleased about the 1/2" of water on the ice: [img] |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 8:39am - largefreakatzero ""] 3lbs 13oz from yesterday. Great fuck, was it cold! [img] |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 8:50am - SkinSandwich ""] Fish are wicked pissed. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 10:15am - Boozegood ""] Good thread. Do you use flags or rods? |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 10:27am - largefreakatzero ""] Both my fish in this thread were taken with a jig rod. In NH, on waterbodies that have lake trout (or "togue" for you frenchies) you are allowed 2 lines -- usually we put out 1 tip-up and then jig. I didn't bother with the tip-up yesterday. It was much better huddling in my shelter with the heater on. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 10:32am - Boozegood ""] I must go soon. Strangly, there was a yellow lab with us the first time I went ice-fishing. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 10:43am - largefreakatzero ""] I always bring my dogs. They are a pain, but they always expect to go. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 11:25am - JustinBOTG ""] gotta trek to memphremagog for real laker fishing |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 11:36am - largefreakatzero ""] Dude, that is 5 hours away. Sunapee is 15 minutes up the road. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 11:40am - JustinBOTG ""] yeah, it's a weekend trip. but I've seen 30lb lakers taken there. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 11:42am - largefreakatzero ""] I believe it -- there's always some dinosaur-looking laker being taken from those northern VT lakes. I'd definitely need to upgrade my tackle to fish for those horses. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 11:42am - JustinBOTG ""] and it's only about 3 hours away |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 11:44am - JustinBOTG ""] I can't imagine taking one that size on a jigging rod. We always fish tip ups with med-large bait....including the monster 30lb'er my old man caught. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 11:53am - largefreakatzero ""] Yeah, I looked at the map again, and that should be about 3 hours. I know some of the guys that catch those monsters during open water will sew on whole suckers and hand-yank with a drop line from their boat. Not sure if they do this through the ice as well. Did your old man get that pig mounted? That's a fish of a lifetime. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 24,2011 12:03pm - JustinBOTG ""] No, didn't mount it. He's got a nice framed 8x10 of him with it. Fucking thing could take your whole fist in it's mouth. Hopefully we'll catch some king salmon even bigger than that in Alaska this summer. |
