Just toooo cold to go Ice fishing...Not when I can wait for a warm spring day, a frosty mountain stream and frypan size trout to feast on. You know. 10 to 12 inches. Cutthroats are my favorite...From the stream into the frypan after a good dunkin' into cornmeal, garlic, salt and pepper. Frypan must be greased with that mornings beacon grease...Any one think that isn't good and tasty??? Simple, but goooood. By The Way...It goes better with fresh air and a light mountain breeze.... Cheers

I was able to stop and check out the Eskimo, and you are 100% correct! Quite frankly, i'd be a damn fool to pick one of the others over an Eskimo because the construction, material, and stitching is way better IMHO.

Well for the money I think they are the best band. If you are a rich guy there is one thats blue made by some company I forget the name of... usually run in the $450 range but everything is a bit more sturdy, tub is thicker plastic etc etc.

If you are REALLY RICH then you can always opt for one of these $2500+ babys:

Me I just need something to keep the wind off so my boy stays warm and enough room to not be in each others hair. I haul'em out on ATV or snowmobile so it makes for as little exertion as possible (I dont want to seem lazy but dragging gear in 0 degree weather is just no fun at all). Ice fishing is one of those sports where the more you spend the funner it gets. (example you can get by with a hand auger but you try powered auger once you will never go back).

8 pounds and fish story Confused You must of never fished Michigan then because those are SMALL compared to what i have caught in the past. Although, average running size is between 5 and 12 pounds, it's not unlikely to catch either a brown or steelhead in the upper teens to mid twenties occasionally. And as for pics, unfortunately i rarely have pictures taken, unless i'm with some picture happy family or friends. The only time i have pictures is when my dad wanted to start taking pics of him and i fishing, there however i have pics of upto 30 pound salmon, 23 pound steelhead, and 25 pound Lakers. But before and since then, not even pics of my first deer Sad and now that i'm older, i wish i did get into pics because the kids would get a kick out of see'in me with long hair lookin like Ted Nugent:lol:


Oh, and that "Barn" for ice fishing.....i'll stick with getting an eskimo now Very Happy


Bushmaster: AMEN to that Cheers

Finaly found something we both agree on. How about a 35 pound King (Chenook) taken from the American River. 14 & 18 lb Steelhead taken from the Snoqualimie river late January...13 yr old Granddaughter just caught a 12 lb Silver out of the Pueget Sound. (beat her dad again)...That's my gal...

Same problem as 10ring. Never thought at the time to take photos. Times have changed. I travel with a rifle, pistol, fishing rod and a digital camera now...

My biggest fish ever was a 103lb halibut in Alaska. Caught near a thousand salmon up there though... I've lost track how many times I've been there but I think its 14.

Never caught a steelhead though... sounds like fun.

Bushmaster....just keep it down....ya can't let people think we actually get along and have things in common Cool

Actually the Chinook was taken from the west side of Michigan (lake michigan) near Ludington and Frankfort, as well as a Pink, Pinook, Atlantic, and Splake Very Happy And i take my daughters every Feb, Mar, and Apr fishing for some steelies, which they do pretty decent, but i don't usually take them out where i go now and at this time of year.


DallanC:
If you have the chance to go on a Steelhead charter boat, (or just steelhead fishing) DO IT! It's rare that you find an expierence like catching a Steelhead, Brown, Speckled, Brook, or a Splake becasue they are hard to get into your hands with the way they fight. Unlike any other fish (i think besides a shark) they twist the line around their bodies, continuously jump out of the water and a high percentage of the time, spit the hook. When i fish for them, i usually downsize the hook on my crankbaits to a size 14 treble hook, or if i'm using worms i use nothing bigger than a size 8 hook (various styles). When nobody has luck (if they are pressured) i'm using 2-4 pound test with a size 16 to 20 hook and a redworm, that usually does it Very Happy

Heres a crappy pict of my 103lb halibut. I'm still waiting for a +400lb "barn door" though... Hooked into a big'un once... prolly 200-300lbs. Never could get it to turn or slow down... it just took off spooling off all my line till I ran out and it snapped off. Was using 80lb test too Sad

Whats really funny is the next year the charter caption we went with re-did his fliers and put a similar pict of me with this one and my wifes 60lb'er on it.

(humorous note #2, the 60lb'er my wife caught I had caught an hour earlier but it broke off at the surface ... wife hooked it later and brung it up with my hook still in its mouth)

DallanC, i could only imagine catching something like that Shocked

But i'll tell ya, some of my biggest fish have been caught on 4-10 pound test, and no super lines either. I've caught a 41 pound carp using 4# test and salmon upto 30 pounds on that as well.

I think one day i will have to do some chartered ocean fishing........you know the type that you have a seat belt on and a gimbal for support Very Happy

Dallan, where did you catch that butt? That Harbor looks familar ... is it Sitka. I caught a 150lb butt a few years back. Man it take as much effort to process a fish that big as it does to cut up a big buck.

Cool I really miss Kodiak!!! Dallan: that is a nice Butt & so is a #60. My best was #162 and one of the Chiefs down the road from me got one of them "Barndoors" #425. That was a monster, took a whole day to "Butcher". The salmon fishing is beyond most people's dreams also, made 2 trips to Chiefs Cove and what memories! Kings all over running #35 - #50 Silvers wow!

Now if anyone is thinking of a trip to Kodiak, look up "Kenny Newman" he is in the phone book and has a Charter Boat for Halibut and sometimes Salmon. He will probably take you out toward Whale Pass on the North side of Kodiak Island for some Butt if the weather is cooperative, just don't be alarmed if you use a cinder block for a weight as the current can run up to 8 - 9 knots through the pass on any given day. Also don't forget your camera as the Killer Whales will come right up to your boat to look at you! Shocked Shocked Shocked Cool

Dallan, where did you catch that butt? That Harbor looks familar ... is it Sitka. I caught a 150lb butt a few years back. Man it take as much effort to process a fish that big as it does to cut up a big buck.

Later, D

Auke Bay, Junaeu Alaska.

Local boys here had noticed the game warden watching them through binoculars all day. The next day the warden arrived at the lake to find the dou out on the ice. He watched in amazement as they landed fish after fish, tossing them into the 5 gallon bucket next to them. he waited until they were well over the legal limit and then ventured out to write them a ticket. When he informed them they were over their limit on fish, they asked "what fish?" He went over and said "these fish in the bucket..." and stopped to stare at the 5 gallon bucket with the bottom cut out, set on another hole in the ice.
he had a good laugh and didn't bother "spying" on them anymore.
