Open Water 2006 Reports Part II

[cnypanfisher]

We went out at dusk last night and got 2 stragglers, looks like it will warm up again today so i'll try again tonight. Not my turn to clean fish, so I gave the 1 I got to my friend Stevie. He gave me 2 hind quarters, jerky,and a 5 lb sausage from the 4 deer he got this year, so hes gets 1/4 of the fish I give away.

I'm going to get 5k of those spikes for 30 bucks, thats a heluva deal, so something has to freeze up soon. Walleyes are good eating and all, but I am jonesing for a half of a pail of sunfish or some nice Oneida Lake crappies.

Tight lines TO Tim

[CNY Tim]

Forage base change boys the last few walleyes taken have had zero shad and 3-5" perch in the bellies. Steve said a 7" perch was in the gullet of that 22". Got some business to take care of this evening and brought a Tica Cetus SS500 in for Franky to fondle.

Lee- Good luck finding a partner for the TA.

North Shore - I am sending Hendo's stuff in now to get him cleared up to access I'll let you know when I have confirmation. Thanks for the spike update, it was cool running into the Rogue Kid at the 8 Super last night. Amanda asked me who Mike was and I told her, that her Mom is the one that made the applesauce she woofed. Amanda had a big smile. Between Tank and Mo were well taken care of Thanks guys

Had a good night last night on the walleyes. Took the boat out for two hours again and got 3 nice ones, 2 21"ers and a 22"er. I think I might be closing my office early and going again tonight

[CNY Tim]

Way to go Slip, Tiger Roen? Rained all day yesterday, last night and it's still raining.

Thanks Timmy. One on the Roan and one on the good ole Silver and Black and one on a blue and silver Reef Runner Ripstick! Talk about RAIN I closed my office early yesterday and got the boat on the water at 4pm and fished til 7pm. It was pretty brutal out, temps low 30's and it just rained and rained and rained some more. I couldn't keep my gloves dry and it was hard to keep your hands warm but I stuck it out long enough to put the tag down on 3 more nice eyes. Not as big as the night before but they were between 19" and 21" and all males. 2 came on the Silver Black Rouge again and one on the Tiger Roan. The 3 from Thursday night were all females Anyway the one thing I've learned over the years is you can't catch walleyes sitting at home I am heading to Boston in a little while and we'll be back on Sunday and I plan on fishing Christmas Day for a while and making a nice boneless prime rib roast for Christmas dinner. Had a nice fresh beer batter walleye fry last night. Merry Christmas everybody.

[CNY Tim]

Your not gonna catch them from home is right? Way to go in the monsoon yesterday I knew it was bad but you are a mad man in that lund, good job buddy...

[HENDO542]

Tim finally got in thanks to north shore.

[CNY Tim]

Sorry about the account deal thing Timmy I just post here and north shore is better than I am with getting around that stuff.

Welcome Hendo 542 Tim x 4 (LOL) to the shanty here at FM. Tim and his buddy Scott ice fish Delta quite a bit they like to keep it on low down and we can appreciate that here right guys

I work with Tim's girlfriend at the lab. Tim's a great guy and I got a chance to fish with him a couple of times on Delta, Morraine and Black Lake. He run's a sweet Yammy 660 Grizz the nastiest quad in the valley. I remember telling Zecca about Tim's 660 and 6 mos. later he bought one to replace his Polaris.

Again welcome to the Shanty Hendo 542.. It's nice to add a another quality ice fisherman to the gang This was Hendo's first fall that I can recall that he took up the fall walleye seriously, a little late I might add but I think Tim now know's why we do what we do in the fall hope to see you out there as a regular next fall Tim...

[HENDO542]

Thanks for the welcome Tim . Hope you and your family have nice and save x-mas.

[north shore]

Welcome to the forum Hendo. Another Tim. A great time here had by all with great imformation on the sport we love. FISHIN. Yes it was nice to have Hendo take part in a walleye slam this fall but we may not be done yet. Time will tell with this weather change.

[Fishingking]

Welcome Hendo (Tim) from another Tim

I think they ice may actually be coming now. I Hope.

[CNYFrank]

North Shore was that you on the 23rd in waders at the bar??? Was standing before on the well? If it was you that was indeed the better place to be. A third wader came in and stood between you two guys and the shore where a guy on the shore had caught a walleye . . . he was not a happy camper.

[north shore]

CNY Frank: No that was not me I believe it ws Hendo. He mentioned that to me. He caught a single there but other than that it has been slow. It is amazing how guys push their way in when someone catches a fish.A good hook in the ear usually clears them out if you know what I mean. There has been a few fish taken a Schniebls but other than that not much action.

[CNY Tim]

Bar Report - While meeting up with Mike and Lee, Scott came into the Sav-On with his son and they both caught there limit of eyes on Dark Cloud's point on blue/silver thundersticks right at sunset and were done by 6 p.m. North Shore should have a report later.

[north shore]

Managed to land a couple threesomes tonight at the bar How lucky I was.Doubled up tonight and it was exciting.Arrived at the bar at 1000 and had the point all to myself until Donny and Shawn showed up at about 11.Had my limit plus 5 throw backs at 1145 and made the trip home.Returned to the bar and lost my spot.Oh well managed to catch one more until they left at 1245 and then proceeded to catch 7 more fish.The highlight of the night was when I fowl hooked the big fish of the evening and it gave me a bit of a fight.Took some drag and some more drag. Not a net around. Sure was a great evening. Will post pics when I figure out my new camera in the am.Black and slvr challenger was the hot lure tonight.

[CNY Tim]

Well same old story I waited to long to go to the lake arrived at 2 .a.m. to find myself fishing in NNW wind at about 15 mph. and fished the bar for about 20 min. without a strike and fished below the bridge to warm up and stopped at Schneibles and it was all mucked up. Glad you hit em Greg and as usual my report was dead on...

Of course this late night fish trip could have been entirely avoided if Momma didn't grab my driver after I was already asleep

[CNY Tim]

Hendo - just talked to Miss said you made an early morning run. How did it go at the bar?

Franky - Tuzzy and I stopped in this morning to say hey and missed you.

[CNYFrank]

Had to make a run for some sanity. Caffiene has kicked in now I have a reason for a headache!! I'll be down later . . know how hard Tuzz works . . .just like you. . . and me this week. Gees late night early night . . .those fish are about to drive me crazy!! Of course, unless I get my butt out there, it does no good just reading these reports. And me with all those silver and black Frenzies. Actually would have been there yesterday after work but decided to be a good guy and make dinner and what happens when everyone shows up at 5:30??? No one whats to eat!!! Arghh!! And to top it off, both women say . . "You should have gone fishing!" Now when is the last time anyone ever heard that come out of a woman's mouth???

[north shore]

Tim: Golf at night huh. Do you ever wear your headlamp to see your drive. Hendo stopped in for a cup of joe this am after his run to the bar and I sent him home with some freshly fileted eyes and low and behold he even took the carcasses.I'm sure he will post as I will be posting some pics of the eyes. Sure was fun landing the 26" eye fowel hooked in the back.

[north shore]

Here's a pics of last nights and this morning's catch. [image]C:\Documents and Settings\Greg\My Documents\My Pictures\fishing[/image]

[north shore]

Oops gotta read the manual a little more

[Fishingking]

need to upload your pictures onto a picture hosting site like photobucket.com and then copy the tag the one with the around it.

[CNY Tim]

Come on Campbell figure out the frickin camera I can't take the suspense! Where's that 26" please

Good one on the headlamp Greg... Frank was in the office when I read that Tuzzy and Franky chuckled.

Well boys the reports were too much to take for Gunny Greving he's about to lock down plans for a final salute to open water on Oneida this Friday. Steve and his buddy are coming up and I have that day to burn and why not. Of course the way things are going on at Campbell household I will have pictures of the trip posted Friday before North Shore figures out how to post his digital pics Your not the only one in that boat either Greg., Franky is camera illiterate too.

Who am I kidding I'm just as bad as both of you guys with the camera's. If it wasn't for Big Johnny Ice showing me the way I'd still be emailing pics to him to post...

Hendo where you at?

[north shore]

Tim: Thanks for the phone call last night. As you can see with the pics it was worth the trip from here. Frank: I probably had my limit before you would of had your coat on. I'm not fishing tonight so the point is yours.Leave the frenzys to home and bring just the challenger box.Just kiddin ya ya know. Love to have a little fun here you know. I think Tim has joined a winter golf league and its on tuesday nites.

[CNY Tim]

I'll get em posted when I get home Greg. I am gonna leave the golf analogy alone because Dark Cloud and Tank have seen me drive and it ain't pretty
