Dark Cloud Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 The reports from Timmy and Tank on the ice today are SLOW...Cutting tons of holes and not marking much. The few fish they did mark were aggressive and big... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY Tim Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Fishingking - I know and will be stopping at Scott's booth first chance I get, USMC Steve needs me to pick up a pice of camera equipment from Scott. If you want me to grab a couple of pro packs for you I'll try to get to em before the masses, we have a pretty good handle on the colors that we have had good luck with Salmonspanker - Rob great to hear from you. Lake George was a blast and I'm sure I can twist Kyle's arm again to go, great time with the eastern NY FMer's. I'll give John a call and you soon after the warm-up Anyways welcome to another ice season Like Jay said it was pretty slow for most of the day and I left ariound 12:45. Just talked to jay and hesid the guys having seen anything for 2 hours The driving took alot out of us this morning with snow, ice, sleet and a quick bout of freezing rain. A trip that takes generally and hour was an hour and 40 min. to get there. Ice was a solid 5.5" in 9' with 3" of white ice. I arrived around 7 a.m. and changed into my new Cabela's boots which I absolutely love, as warm as my Micky's and a big upgrade over my old reliable Rocky's, plus they were absolutely made to fit for my Arctic Spurs. Started down to the lake walked out and got my hole drilled and scooped, then I grabbed my LX-5 and wen't to withdraw the transducer from the well and it was stuck. Stuck so hard like it was epoxied to the foam protector that the tranducer sets on in the storage well. To make a long story short I had to use a sharp knife, peel back the soft pack and go up under the unit where the drain well is for the tranny holder. Rounded it out with knife and used a pair of forceps to get here to free up. All told 30 minutes it took too get the puck out of there and to clean off all the stuck on foam residue. I knew I would do something it's the first trip of the year. Whila ccomplishing this task I also dpoked my thumb nice ly with blade so add a little blood to the repair as well. Here's a pic of the 1/8" depression you see about 1/4" from center at ahair past 12 O'clock (sorry about the pic).. Of course I thought great I have a small hole in my ducer that's about an 1/8" deep. Figured I wouldn't get a very good reading at all wth all the digging and gouging I did and was pleasantly surprised it functioned like it never happened so I am very happy. Talked to Jon about and he said it would be fine, and he was right. You guys didn't miss anything action wise I was 4-5 on marked fish, with one nice seed at 8 3/4", lost a pickerel or small bow and drilled and moved alot early looking for fish. My knee is staring to feel a bit better than it was when I first came home, meds and IB kicking in and next is the heating pad. Even with the transducer mishap less than favorable driving conditios it was great to see Tank, Billy and Doug again. Looking forward to the next trip. Here's Tank with a nice gill... Here's the best fish I caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY Tim Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 Doug - I think the pic above is of Tanks big gill unless he caught another after I left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Cloud Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 If he "long armed" that gill like some take pictures it would look like atleast an 11 incher He did get one a tad bigger later on... Mr. West - that was quite the concert you had going on, on your home stero. I thought I called the wrong number, like the help desk at a Dead Show, lol...

insurance guy Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Great report guys. Talk about an early ice year so far for those who finished up their hunting season! I've still got the Lund out and I'm still doing a little trolling in between bowhunting and getting some nice walleyes on the big lake. I'm going to bowhunt again this weekend and try to get one more deer and maybe a couple more trips with the boat at night next week and then on to some icefishing The FL-18 and the Nilsmasters are ready to rock!

CNY Tim Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 That's great John was wondering how your fall/winter walleye season went. I imagine your Mustang suit took afew more coats of walleye slime on it. Tiger Roan anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY Lee Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Well I didn't get out but here's what Anthony I did today, it was my last day to hunt and I waited until the end to put some meat in the the freezer. It's been a great year for hunting and I was holding out to the last minute for a MONSTER 8 pointer but he didn't show so I told Anthony to pick the biggest doe and she will be riding home with us. Sorry for the bad picture but forgot the camera and had to use my cell phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

augustwest Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I will be fishing yellow tape today...I checked some old holes while taking a stroll around out there yesterday...it was still VERY fishable. It got down below 20* last night and I am sure it tightened back up pretty good. I will give a fnal report a little after dark. I can't believe we can't be there after dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
