Great pic.Thank you for sharing with us.

Ok I'm finally getting to a fishing report.

Here's an interesting lake rig se spotted on our way out to our fishing spot.



Here's a friend of ours pulling a big skid house behind a thiokol stryte.





Here we are dragging the trailer out from under our skid house. I drilled a hole through the 2 feet of ice behind the house and rigged an anchor with a chain and a bar under the ice, tied the anchor chain to the house and pulled the trailer out from under it.

Late saturday morning we finally have lines in the water and begin fishing.

My appologies for so many pictures of ... me. Pam was running the camera this weekend and I guess I must have been an interesting photo subject.





This is a fun photo set. The little guy hooks into a slot fish (we have a "slot" from 19.5" to 28" walleye that must be released. they sure are fun to catch though.

He did it all by himself too, all I did was grab the fish when it came up the hole.



you can pretty much sense the excitement here lol!

His face is actually turning red from screaming and laughing.



The famous "power grin"

Your basic "eater fish"



RWS caught this one, I was just helping with the hook.



photo bombers... so annoying...





The old auger out for another season.



The kitchen.

They aren't always keepers.



Action photo..



Me and my friend Wally posing with minnows in our mouth, Wally looks ridiculous.



Sleeping through the action??



Another monster.



Nice pail of fish for half of a Saturday.



We cleaned 19 counting perch Saturday night.

We went out for a bit again yesterday too.





Doesn't this fish look huge when I hold it out like this?



We kept and cleaned 13 yesterday, it was a little slower than Saturday.

Out fillet bowl for the 2 days combined with a 2 liter bottle for scale.



At least half our catch was jumbo perch yesterday so that's why you see all them smaller fillets on top. Even the biggest perch don't give you as much meat as an average/smallish walleye.

But they all taste good.


That's all I got.

VERY cool beans Dave!

Great pictures!

Great pics Dave. I see Weezy still has a cast on. How much longer?

Welcome to camp elora12.

awesome pics Dave! I sure miss walleye fishing, especially the action ya'll get up there.

thanks for sharing

Well good news and bad news. The bad news is, I didnt even know about the submarine by the Midway. But we wouldnt have had time anyway. The good news, upon being awarded the Swamp Squid Badge of Courage, you get your man card back. Whew. So I have had the card since the Chicago incident where I had to carry around an American Girl doll bag full of doo-dads for the little girl all the while enduring merciless ribbing from my coworkers.

The funniest part of the Midway tour....for 24 hours after making a stop at a port, the doctor had to fix head lacerations from drunken sailors forgeting to duck!

Nice walleyes....dang, I felt pangs of jealousy looking at those pictures! I have a goal of catching 1 fish per year through the ice and have only achieved it once in the last 10 years.

Nice catch guys!

Dave, is South Tip out by Buffalo Point?

Yep, a snone's throw from Canada.

US waters south of buffalo point.

That is what I thought. Do you go out of Springsteel and make the trek across the ice?

Yep.

Some big ass perch man...looks yummy.

She was taking all those pics of you because of the hat.

Chicks did jarheads.

T'd up and just waitin for someone to hit it out of the park!

I think they call that a freudian slip?
