To date this year I have only pulled one fish worth noting through the ice and even that one was really small, a hammer handle northern pulled out of square on trout opener.

Well It was Ice trout opener and I had high hopes, Me and Coach went out to test the "Return of Cutty$shack" and fill our limits of trout. Coach saw one trout all day, I saw none. We had the Aqua Vu out for this excursion and ended up seeing 2 northerns and a Crappie. Very slow day. Pictures to follow (as soon as I can find my camera adapter or buy a new one)

After Last week's outing I was in search for trout, but on different water this time. we set up the "Return of Cutty$hack" in about 20' of water, actually we may have been deeper but I'm guessing 20'. It wasn't long before we were on to a ton of dinkyAzz sunfish, I'm talking like 3" long, a lot of 'em. oh yea it was cold as hell out side, like -5 and windy. after fishing for an hour I looked out the window and saw 2 guys setting up a few hundred feet away, they were hand drilling holes. Since I had only fished this lake once before in the summer time, I thought I'd be friendly to the other guys and offer to cut some holes for them. So I go over to them and start up a conversation, and it's clear to me they fish this lake on a regular basis, even though they say that this is their first time. anyways I start drilling holes and the auger runs out of gas about 3" into my first hole. pretty funny. the highlight of the day came with lunch. Jambalaya with Andouille sausage from Kramarczuk's, Ham and Shrimp. pictures to follow Best Ice fishing lunch to date.

Determined to pull a 'Bow through the ice this winter. we got out on the ice around 10:30 after hitting McDonald's, and the shitty bait store. We setup in about 6'-10' of water right on the edge of a drop-off, one side of the shack was in 6' of water the other side 10'. we half drilled an extra hole in the corner of the shack for a beverage cooler(this worked out great) It wasn't long before we were Drinking shots of C.C. and talking about hanging Bob Marley posters up in the "Return of Cutty$hack", good times. It wasn't too long before Rob and Dank Showed up and I cut a series of holes for them. we dined on the finest of Jerky Products, Scooter brought some Jack Links JalapeƱo flavored jerky, It was really good, and I brought some deer jerky, that was pretty good as well. we fished pretty hard all day and only managed to catch a buzz. Oh well that's ice fishing some times, we still had fun though. (Pictures to follow)

First Post of the year!!!! Hopefully the rest of the year goes better than these 3 outings.
