Keep'n it Reel

Events are always a good time good to put faces with names and conversations a few trout fishermen could even get lucky with some nice eyes you never know but for some browns would be the best bet hahahaha!! Can't wait to get back on the water!!! Oh wait in warm weather it's been a cold fishing season this winter..

A pack of bubble gum 12 pack of coca cola and a deck of cards?!?!?

Alright

Are these still available??

Was able to get together and put a few limits down some geese mixed with a few mallards and then some red heads with a lone drake mallard poor guy didn't stand a chance when those wings locked and the feet came down!!!!

Awesome awesome awesome congrats!!this was my first redhead from a few years ago!! Diver hunts are a blast

Come on guys the winter fishing is just picking up little salt on the ramp and good to go! The last trip out was cold enough to make the pulleys on riggers freeze up in a matter of minutes twilly tips on the wire rods became solid ice the boat had fish packed in snow like a ice chest and the launch ramp had 6 inches of snow on it when we got back and Saturday I was ready to fish in a tshirt!!!!

Nice way to go!! What boat did you fish from??

Well started the morning out with some duck hunting!! Did have some success not as good as past trips but was way to nice of a day to duck hunt so pick decoys at around 11 after watching all the boats troll and cast all morning not seeing many hook ups though very odd for the area I was watching!!! Well ran home and hooked up the boat loaded the rods up and back up to the lake! Heard the bite was not fast and furious but still willing to give it a go so launched the boat at 2 and started fishing first fish was a small salmon on a 100 copper followed by a brown on the same setup right after resetting it! Kept heading north moving in and out trying to find a decent screen well was able to put a few of the pieces together for the puzzle and get some fish managed 11 or 12 fish before 4oclock with one lost at the boat and a few other hits just could not get any big fish biggest was about 4lbs laker great day to be on the water, it's funny I didn't see any of the boats on the lake today during my last few trips out!!!

Well this was a horrible weekend to miss I'm sure even with the rain would have been a great weekend to fish the lake but blew the motor in the truck Friday on 104 so fishing is on hold for a little while but as soon as I have a new set of wheels I will be back with a vengeance

luckily I only had to go down 14 so stayed flat the launch ramp was the tricky part that ramp is extremely steep!! And I know pike are aggressive to their own but it didn't look like teeth marks unless it was a older scare and healing that is always a possibility!!!

good luck to you and I prob won't be out until the weekend I would say wether permitting but the only real factor I have with weather is wind haha!!! And les yes when the water temps go down is when I have my best luck If you look at that picture you will notice the pike has sores on it I have seen this before with them any clue what causes it?

les am I not suppose to be able to get pike this time of year?!?! Haha I have always found this a great time of year to get them and normally a few good ones this is my first time actually trying to get them while on the boat I usually do really well fishing from shore for them. And thanks guys its always fun in the snow looking like a warm up is coming I'm sure i won't be the only boat on the lake for the next trip!!!

Well I did it again could not resist the lake so found a few crazy people to jump on board and fish Saturday during the snow storms I told them we would be the only boat fishing and I was 100% correct!! Trout fishing was as expected and about 11 changed things up and decided to troll for pike did that for about a hour landed one and lost one other fish not sure of that species but slammed the rigger!!!

I was trying to figure that out myself their was a orange coat on the seats I'm thinking it was just a reflection of that

Welcome to the site!!! Beautiful boat!! And just wait till you start drilling wholes it's a sad and proud day at the same time hahahaha... And I have seen a lot of different style cowbells but most all are still a simple and similar design. A short segment of fishing wire just like you see for steel leaders then their is rotating attractors on them some are copper,silver, painted all different kinds!! Then behind that is what you desire the fish to eat wobble trolls peanuts I have used flat fish and even spoons.. Think of a mepps spinner take all the hooks off connect them end to end then add something with a little different appearance and a hook a little ways behind the last one. I use a set of cowbells that are 30" long and have 4, 5" long willow leaf shape blades then about 20" behind that I run a spin'n glow

finallywas able to load some photos from the last few trips these are only a few can't spoil completely just a little taste looking like more to come this weekend

If I was around he would have ended up wrapping up in my planer boards I'm still yelling hooked up and it's a real screamer literally!!!
