First Overnighter

[fishkid]

Went out the first weekend of 2015 to chase lake trout and eel pout. with only 4 hours of sun light it didnt allow for much trout fishing time after we got our eskimo 949i set up and all of our gear and cots set up. Went out and drilled holes for our 7 tip ups and got back inside the shack to have some hot butter rums. Inside the house we put down a rattle reel and had a tube jig on a rod incase something showed up on the vexilar. Well at around 9 pm the rattle reel made a few dings and surprisingly enough we pulled up this guy.

at around 10 oclock the pout started to bite and by the end of the night we had 6 on the ice. Next day the temps dropped quickly and we found our selves jigging out side for lakers in 15-20 below temps. after landing a few mid 20" fish we decided we might as well retreat to the shack to jig in their. We landed a few more lakers and even another late night laker in the shack. all in all a good trip and we learned that we can comfortably sleep in our shack in -30 degree weather.

That is a great looking fish with nice color. I was going to say it must have been cold for a Thermo house to be that frosted up inside?

Sweet lake trout and report. That had to be a fun time. Nice job!
