Minnesota/Manitoba, Can trip

Post by Joe Heater » Mon Feb 18, 2008 3:17 pm

I will post some pics of the crappies I have caught Ice fishing later, but wanted to get this one up. 28.25 inch Walleye, she weighed 10lbs even. Released. GOD I miss the midwest.

I have never met a fish yet that respected a big purchase. You can own a $100 boat or you can own a $30,000 boat. You might be more comfortable, but don't expect any fish to care about your investment.

Nice fish! - Sounds like a good time! Is that a fishing shack behind you (or an outhouse)? I always thought is would be strange to sit in one of those and pull fish out of the floor (fishing shack that is, not the outhouse)!
What were the temps?
I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

The picture above was a fish shack but not the one I was in. This is mine that I took Sunday evening. Kind of a cool pic I think. It was 40 below windchill when I took this pic. The day I caught the walleye it was nearly 30 degrees outside.

Image

Ive caught a ton of slabs, biggest so far is 12 inches but I hope to get a monster later. Tonight I caught about 20 in the first 30 minutes out there. These 2 were caught tonight in 20 below before windchill.
