Posted: Sat Dec 14, 2013 5:21 pmI tried yesterday afternoon but the tide was too high.I would've needed my chest waders just to get to the ice, so I went rabbit hunting instead.

Posted: Sat Dec 14, 2013 5:27 pmIce fishing is something I would like to try some day. The drinking part really appeals to me.

Just go to your nearest walk in freezer with a fifth of crown and you'll get pretty much the entire experience. Stop at the fish market on your way home and buy a trout. Then, lie to your wife about losing one that was at least twice as big right in the hole for full effect.

Posted: Sat Dec 14, 2013 9:43 pmGot out real late and only fished for about an hour in a spot that I didn't really want to fish but it was convenient. 3 flags, all 3 fish dropped the minnow. 
Back at it tomorrow! They're already driving trucks on the ice out here.

Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2013 9:21 amThose perich must be 20 inchers if that's a 30" walleye. Nice work Nate!
Re: Icefishing 2013-2014 thread
Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2013 9:52 pmThe walleye in the sink was only 15 or 16 J! Caught the big girl last night.

Posted: Sat Dec 28, 2013 2:08 pmTook the boys out this morning and caught a bunch of little gills. Bonus for the day was this gem I found buried in the snow on the lake.

Seriously? That's a deal too good even for AT to pass up!

I doubt Assa would ever find something like that. That would mean he had to be out on a lake freezing his ass off.

Nice one Goldie!I'm going to give Fort Peck a try today, it allegedly iced up last weekend. Hopefully I can find 5 inches of ice where I'm going.

Posted: Sun Dec 29, 2013 10:48 pmNice fish guys! Yellow perch are awesome. Only had them once when I was out in MT but they were tasty and fun to catch.

No photos, sorry. It was cold as fuck and I don't keep those slimy bastards so I didn't want it to freeze. Taped it out at 33; I assure you, I will easily break that this winter.
That walleye went 9.75, pretty skinny for 31"

Posted: Sun Dec 29, 2013 11:29 pmNo reason not to keep slough sharks. They really aren't that hard to fillet. YouTube how. Taste pretty good and you get a good chunk of meat.

They're slimy and they stink. I refuse to keep them when I have no problem catching perch and walleye.

Posted: Mon Dec 30, 2013 12:44 amFair enough. If that's all that's biting tho, don't be afraid of the Y bones like everyone says
Re: Icefishing 2013-2014 thread
Posted: Mon Dec 30, 2013 12:59 amWe throw every pike caught on the bank or on the ice, hate them fish. They eat salmon and trout.

AK throws them on the bank too. Then Eric picks them up.
