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

Yeah, cause everyones goal is to not catch anything.

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.

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.
