Ice fishing 2007-2008

[Thunderman]

Tim, Time to do a little ground and pound on some chippers I can't wait first time out on the ICE this year with Tim and Amanda always a pleasure .Seeing kids ice fishing reminds me of when I was a kid (still am )you don't ever forget about something like that those moments are PRICELESS .Timmy you got the camera

Thanks insuranceguy! Yep I posted a report in the CNY Tim and Kyle thread. It was a beautifuld day on the ice with Amanda, she caught some pretty decent gills today too on the white and brown Maki's... Usually you get pestered on that lake with small to med, sized gills but we did catch a few quality gills as well and fishingking caught a slime dart which later ate my Timanti Here's the pics...

Amanda's first fish caught this morning...

Timmy, Amanda, and Gang - Nice report. A few of those gills look much nicer than the average outta there...

Dad and I hit a diff spot this morning and things worked out ok. Ice was iffy, two layers. About 2 inches of ice then an inch of slush then another inch and a half of ice. We didnt make it to the location we wanted but poked around and found some fish. Ended up with 15 nice crappies 10 to 12 3/4 inches, kept a few perch, Guess who got one almost 13 inches, caught a half dozen gills, a half dozen small eyes, and think we iced 9 decent smallies. Wasn't fast and furious but certainly nice...

This warm-up, rain, and refreeze will actually help most lakes...

Thought he had another smallie...

Cripes!!! this was my 1000 post!

[CNY Tim]

Wow looks like that 3rd and 4th year class is starting to come together bro that's great! Nice pile by the MarCum Where's Frank??? Tank that's a hog!!!

[Fishingking]

Wtg on the whities and Tim thanks for posting my ugly mug twice the gill bite was decent all day and the night crappie bite sucked. August West finally showed up around dark. we all left around 7:30

[Thunderman]

DC AND Tank nice callies Tank thats a nice perch .Tim,amanda and Fishingking it was nice fishing with all of you I had a good time .I hope this weather doesn't do to much damage to the ice so we all can get together and do it again sometime. Thunderman

Nice crappies Dark Cloud. I've fished that lake and that spot more than a few times when I was younger Lots of great memories for me there!! Nice pictures Timmy. It was really nice weatherwise on Saturday. I'm finally going to be able to do some fishing this coming weekend and probably going for crappies and walleyes

[CNYFrank]

Here I am Timmie!! Gees with all the bright outfits out there it will be a tough choice between colors of lures and color of outfits! Do I match Timmie and Tank or Steve and Todd . . .I think the early and late season will be the red Artic suit so if I go through, I'll float, well supposed to float.

[Dark Cloud]

Frankie - most turds float, you should be ok.

Dad, Meg, and I went up the neighbors pond for an hour today to check the ice and stretch some line. Didnt mark many but picked up 7-8 bass and a couple nice gills, all released. Ice was 4 inches of white ice and slick...

Got a new digital for christmas, an Olympus waterproof/shockproof. Its got a million setting and takes super nice picts. Cant wait to take some underwater picts...

[CNY Tim]

Dude that new camera is smoking, nice shot's Jay. Rosa got one for Christmas too,a SONY Cybershot but I don't think she will let me take that fishing. Franky is looking to fish possibly this weekend somebody want to hook a turd up?

[insurance guy]

I've never met CNY Frank but he takes some abuse and it all seems good That's great your neighbor has a pond with some fish in it Dark Cloud and that's a real good doggie pic to wrap it up. She looks a lot like one of our dogs that has some Collie and a few other breeds in him. Hope to maybe meet you guys out on the ice and fish with Timmy again one Saturday this winter somewhere between there and here! I made some great venison sausage off my buck to grill up on the ice this year.

[Dark Cloud]

Insurance - I always tell people that if I totally ignore them, that means I done like em. I love Frankie

We'll hook up this winter. Lake O, Lake C, or maybe the King...

[CNY Tim]

Jay's right! Frankie is one of the nicest guys a friend could have... His priorities can get a little messed up from time to time but hey sometimes the other fish tastes better

[CNYFrank]

Yeah DC I know how you are . . .so I make sure when you go AC I am sitting, I'm not like Timmie . . . Insurance Guy let me know when you'll be on the ice . . .I have some hot venison sausage waiting to be cooked!!

[CNYFrank]

[CNYFrank]

hmmmm . . .I mean mmmmmmm, I'll have to try some of that . . .

[Dark Cloud]

Dad and I spent the day on Long Pond. Had to keep moving and each hole was good for one to a couple of fish(we cut well over 50 holes). Mostly small/medium gills, small perch with a few nice ones, caught 3 diff year classes of crappies, and some nice largemouth. The last hour of the day you didnt have to move...

Been playing with the "macro" setting on the new camera...

[Thunderman]

Nice pics Jay nice fish also Tank thats a nice bucketmouth.

again hear say i was on the south end Wednesday for 1.5 hours fished from 28 fow to 4 fow and only marked 2 fished I measured 3.75" in every hole I drilled. It was a little spongy and there was a nice hole 50 ft out from shore in 3-4 fow where someone went through one Saturday all i gotta say is tread lightly Hopefully next weekend the lake will be safe enough for solo trips

[Thunderman]

Fished this morning at erieville from 8am till 11am caught 8 perch and 1 rock bass.The ice is getting pretty spongy and varies in thickness there was allot of water on it this morning, by the time I left most of the water was gone .

[insurance guy]

I finally got out on a solo mission for the first trip of the season late this afternoon and was lucky to find some good ice. I also was fortunate enough to find the motherload of slabs within the first 10 minutes The FL-18 was lit up like a Christmas tree Got on the ice at 2 and was off by 4 and home by dark with a limit of some very healthy crappies. Smallest ones were 10" even up to 12"! Enjoying a few beers and some fresh crappie for dinner tonight!!!!!

Heading out with salmonspanker tomorrow afternoon to a different spot to get a few more crappies and maybe a walleye or two!

[Thunderman]

John, nice pile of callies pretty good score first time out.I hope you and salmonspanker get another pile of fish today WTG good job .
