CNY Tim Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Fished Darago in 30' off the the west side and caught 20 nice perch. Fished from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and caught fish on gold Kasmasters 1/8 oz. tipped with red guppi's and Dark Cloud's brown clown. Walking was a pain fist thing this morning they had received a good 6 to 7" of snow starting late last evening and the ice was still good 5" black 1.5" of white problem was this morning blazing a trail there was a 4" top layer of snow and then 1.5' to 2" of slush naturally all this pushed in front of the trap like there was a plow on it and I had to stop 6 times to catch my breath to walk 200 yards. Any how the fishing was pretty good... I had made a make shift livewell below my feet to drop the perch into but the pic didn't come out all the way. Was quite a few guys out there with me I counted 10 huts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY Tim Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 I think if you start in 30' either off Baker's or the launch you will get some nice perch Paul. Reports have been pretty consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNYFrank Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Sally, I mean Timmie, you missed it! Met Tom D at the diner and by the time breakfast was over was on the ice at 0730. It was a balmy -8 and just a light gentle breeze out of the south. Eyes felt like they were glassed over by the time we got to the spot off Joe's. (Joe did not make it until the pm ... he was busy ... tending a garden!!!) Fished 34 fow and Tom and I both limited out. I stayed the rest of the day to practice. Lots of fish marked and they seemed to like the lure worked hard and then take it away as they showed up at 2-3 feet off the bottom and rocketed to a small rainbow trout jigging rap or you know ...

CNY Tim Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Lee only faired a bit more fish after you left and ended with 14. Breakfast was great at the diner in Richfield Springs under the current ownership as the closing is Monday. There gonna keep the diner there according to our lovely waitress, it's just that someone else will be running the show. Be nice if two of the waitresses woud stay Doug thanks for the grub and great fishing with you. About 30 minutea after Doug got off the ice I was getting ready to walk-in when we met the Smiths, Fred Jr. and Sr. and Fred gave me a ride back on the sled, thanks Fred. Didn't take any pics today and I did bring the camera, just forgot to take some. Freddy was on some pretty good fish today he hauled a nice hog out just before i jumped on the sled in. Thanks to Jay for painting up my knackers and providing a nice wiry ending on them, they worked really well today for the few fish I marked, Thanks Jay and john for your company as well as Doug's and the cookies Jay... Sorry i didn't get over to visit with you Wheeler but I fished a little later than I plan but made it back just fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Cloud Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Very nice fishing with you guys as usual! Always great to pick on Timmy in person...We "finished up" after you guys left but it took a bit as the fish got stupid picky. Had to go down to a tiny ybd with one spike to even get a sniff...

Pman Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Fished Darago Thurs and Fri. A lot of solid 11" - 12s" on Thurs but nothing big by Darago standards. Fri was a much tougher bite and the fish did not run as big as those on Thurs but all in all a pretty good day. Any day on the ice is a good one but this day was a lot nicer when Tank and Dark Cloud were nice enough to stop and say hello. Talked about the old days and had some laughs. Was sorry to learn that I just missed AW and CNY Tim and I was sad to hear that Tim was taken off the lake by snowmobile. I guess that he had trouble walking because of his severe case of cameltoe.Jay was nice enough to give me a couple of his jigs - as you guys know the paint job was incredible. A lot like a GMC vehicle - "professional grade". They look like something you'd buy at Gander. Anyways, thanks for stopping by and saying hello. Looking forward to wetting some lines and havings some laughs during this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Cloud Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Pman - Dave, nice running into you two again. We'll be in touch when we head that way again. Glad to see your health on the rebound and you on the ice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY Tim Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Dave - longtime no see usually we talk at the beginning of every other ice season. Looking forward to seeing you on the ice soon. That sled ride was nice on the way in and I'm sure the toe felt good on Freddy's backside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
