caught some crappies on lake waconia... nothing great

How big are those? Should have something on the photo to give us an idea of size, like a hard drive or a floppy or a cd-rom or a pen or whatever..

Don't you have a limit there? With a fishing license in my province, you're allowed 4 or 10, depending on how much you pay (4 = conservation)

14 jacked-up looking fish.  Cool!  They taste good when eating?

15 per person here, and we had two people.

Just fillet'd them up...

They were about 6-8 inches mostly.

I can't go fishing right now :(, or I would.

iago, do you know of a limit in ontario?

The rangers and stuff are part of "Manitoba Fisheries", which is provincial.  I don't know how it's done in Ontario.

Going back out today... be back at like 3 in the morning.  I'll post another picture if we catch any more.

DADDY NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF SHOES!

EDIT: <3 Iago

I'll post another screen shot

Real life doesn't have a "screen". 

Anyways, caught 11 more however no picture.  They were all about the same size, 6 - 8 inches each.

Things i need to do:

Buy Gas Auger
Buy a Lighter that actually WORKS
Buy a new Latern and Heater that don't require horribly burning yourself
Buy a bigger ice house, so i can actually stand up without ducking
Last but not least, buy and use a chair instead of a bucket.

Damnit my back hurts, i'm going to bed!

Sounds like you had fun! :)

Hope your back gets better.

It seems vL forums have a pro fisher!! :P

Ice fishing...... is fun!

HEATER!?  What kind of non-fun stuff is that dood?  It's all about freezing, I mean what if the freakin ice melts?!

Then you freeze.

Each province has it's on rules and regulations (including size and quantity limits).
I haven't gone fishing in Manitoba for about 5 years, but I always go to Kenora in the summer  :)

That's, like, exactly what I said :P

I was out fishing a few weekends back and pulled a 25 pound Dolphin out of the Gulf of Mexico, pictures to come.

HAHA

Anyways, they were 8 - 9 inches, i remeasured them as i was filleting.  Gonna cook them tonight =)

I never understood the intrigue of freshwater fishing, I don't get the same kind of fight I find in saltwater fish.

Lake fishing, THAT is nuts.  I don't get how people have the patience to throw the line out & sit there for.....20 minutes.

I cant sit anywhere except in front of a computer or PS2 for more than 5 minutes.

obviously you haven't done any real freshwater fishing!  LOL    :)  Good ole Sturgeon, Pike, Musky, an Catfish...good fights.  Plus you use lighter gear, so it's harder to bring the fish up.

Actually, I agree, saltwater fishing is much better than freshwater.  But when you don't live on the coast, freshwater is much easier and more convenient.  My dad caught a 96 lb. Halibut a couple years ago in BC, now THAT was excitement!

Wow, best I've seen is a 26 pound jackfish (northern pike). 

Fishing at the lake at my cottage is the best.  We've went for over 3 hours without catching anything.  Of course, I don't fish there much anymore, usually just go canoing :)

My personal best was a triple digit Marlin... now there is a fight.

I'd love to go marlin fishing!
One day when I have a decent amount of cash I'll take my dad on a charter to do some big-time fishing like that.

I miss goin out to BC.  We would trap crab and prawns, then clean and eat them fresh at the campsite.  Then of course fishing for Salmon, Cod, and Halibut  :)

Good times

The less I catch, the less I have to touch, clean, gut, and eat, none of which I particularely like doing with fish :P

I can do it no problem, you just have to wait... Plus you have to have the right lures/bait and know where to fish, and where not to..

I just have never been able to get much of a fight from any kind of freshwater fish. Bone Fishing in the flats of South Florida, there is a rush. Dragging Snook and big Reds out of the rocky shoals... there is a challange. Pulling in a massive Tarpon on a fly line, there's something not for the faint of heart.

When your fishing for like bluegills and all of a sudden a muskee takes your 5 poud test line, you get a nice thrill.

Wouldn't the line just snap?

not if your good and play the fish right

That's one crazy game of poker there!

I like fresh creek/small river fishing.  We were back packing when I was 11? with the scout tropp when I caught my first fish.  Gutted it & clean off the skin, cooked it in foil w/butter & lemon salt...WAY good.  Could just peel the bone right out of the trout after it was cooked.

yumm!  your makin me hungry.

That's the kinda stuff I love to do.  Too bad I don't know anybody that likes to spend more than a minute outdoors  :(  Stupid lousy computers!

Word?

We ran into some guy along the creek, he had caught his limit for the day + some so he gave us 2, since we were in a scout troop & had like 12 ppl.  Way good fish

FUCK

I had a friend of mine go pick me up two ice light fishing rod combos from Galyans.  Of course he picks me out a Light and a Ultra Light.  He said, "They were out of Light."  FUCK, i wanted TWO FUCKING EXACT SAME RODS.
