You tempted me...if I could have went...I would have grabbed my stick and my tackle box and off I would have went.

POOF..GONE!

Kind offer, and I thank you for it...but it was cruel.....I had a long..long day after that bud..long day.

Was that the chowder day you were out with Stu and I? If it was had a wonderful day fishing with you.

Nice fish

Chowder AND visiting with Lou (you just can't teach an old monkey, new faces!)

That's why God made memories! cuz that may have to hold me over for another 50 weeks.

at least if these guys quit talkin about ice fishin, they're getting me curious.

sorry guys I couldnt make it up there cause something came up, but I'm still planning on coming up in a couple of weeks, Stu i'll get ahold of you, I was also wondering about traverse bay at pine falls, wondering if thats been producing or if the red is better?

Ice fishing is incredible! First time I went out last year spent five minutes in Andrea's shack and had one. Can not wait to take Lou out, he is great fun. You have to come try this, hot chowder in the portable, yummy.

I was setting up goose decoys this morning, thinking it is warmer in portable than it was walking in that field in rain, sleet and snow. Can not wait for ice.

Another nice fish Mama !

How big was that cat you posted a few days ago. Piggy for sure.

Nice fish Mama! Just a little to early for that ice house. all i know is this......

1. Canadian women know how to have a good time;)
2. Red river is SLOW
3. Trick or treat!?

Only impressed with one thing.... and it is not the fish. But it is fishy!

Shanty,
what part of Iowanian are you from?
Inquiring minds wanna know!

Walleye picture was first fish last year. Sorry should have said, "while I was goose hunting this morning I was thinking about the fact it was warmer in the portable last year than it was this morning." Darn nasty this morning. I am sure the geese had to be deiced before take off. Cat was a monster that Stu put me on. He never stops amazing me. He showed me a deadly spot that afternoon! Here is a hint her gurth was not fare off from mine. And one third of my body weight, (she was around 38 lbs) it was 39 1/2 inches long.

Nasty Wind today! we went out and did very well! 4 fish over 5 pounds and good numbers. looking forward to see what tomorrow brings. anyone else go out?

were are all the post and updates? Best day of walleye fishing i have ever had. managed 2 master anglers and a bunch of big ones. i will post pictures when i get a chance. But over all today made the trip!

ps... we did not fish the red and we got 3 to 4 inches of snow!

Mike, not to worry. You, along with all our guests, will be given "all" the pertinent info you'll need to make your trip a success. Kinda like the info one can acquire from the local B & B's and "no-tell" motels...

Here's a chunky greenback from yesterday's excursion. It was the 1st ever trophy walleye for the young lady and although she was a tad nervous holding the fish, man was she excited! If you look close, you'll see the pink "Reelbait" Flasher jig hanging from the Hawgs mouth! Make sure that you have a good selection, they're deadly thru the ice!

Very nice...OH...and that Greenback looks preaty too Eh. [/quote]




Look at the jig placement on this greenback. not to often you see a hook hanging on his bottom lip like that.... hmmmmmmm. good color thought. Congrats! That is a hog!

I am very proud of my "daughter" and the fish she caught. Thank you for the compliment on my daughter, for years I have been giving seminars across the U.S for women. Focusing on the outdoors, equipment and reactions of them being there. Then telling them that, "Women do not need to look like "Bush Babes" but rather can look like ladies and still enjoy what mother nature has to offer. If you look closer you will see the line had broke and the hook was placed back to show what it was caught on.

anyway u look at it.... it is one hell of a fish! and congrats. we respect all the info that is giving especially is the jig color and set up.

we went out on traverse bay and did well once we got out of the wind. our biggest was 6 pounds. But many 5 pounders.. No 10 pounders today:( I will get you some pictures hopefully tomorrow!


ps... whistler jigs are the ticket!

Hey fellow Iowan! I am from north center Iowa. Send me a pm and we will let you know how things went and other info.

maybe we can make a trip up!

good luck fishing

Ata Girl Mama....and you look purdy darn good hold'n them big fish too...Eh.



It obviously must run in the family.

Thank you Eddy, had a thought last night, not that I am compulsive about fishing at all! Would love to start a ice fishing club for girls called, "The Canadian Jigglers" lol.They do not have to be from Canada just have to want to spend a weekend slamming big walleye's. Bet we have a ton of offers for guides!

Can I be the Jigglers mascot?

I'm purdy darn good at Jiggle'n..Eh!

LOL!

The long & the short of it Ed....NO, NO, No!

Sorry Ed, but I gotta side with Stu on this one-- NO!

6 weeks and I'm making my maiden voyage up that way! I hope the fish cooperate while I'm up there!

Sorry Ed but the spirts have spoken. I can not argue with them, but I was rooting for ya.

You hush.....Your no fun Stu!

I'll Jiggle if I'm a want'n too..Eh....JIGGLE...JIGGLE.....and....JIGGLE...I'm a Liggle'n..so there!

hummm,
Right when I was trying to envision Ed in a dress on the ice?

I just wasn't sure what the Jigglers team colors were.

thanks for stoppin that thought, Stu!
