Last trip on the Ice!

[Flagmanonice]

[cool]We got back last night from fishing In Canada, we did O.K on pike , with the biggest a little over 20 lbs, but the walleye bite was great ! We (4 of us ) caught around 80, alot of 15'' and under, but alot over too ! The largest was 27''. The highlite of this trip was , Gary left his rod unattended for awhile, and while he was talking to Dan, a fish pulled it in the hole ! lol! but at the same time , his other bobber went down and while reeling up, saw his hook caught his other line, and grab that line and pulled his rod and reel up, and started to fight the fish with his first rod ! He got it up to the hole, but it got off at the bottom of the hole , with just a glance of a large fish, only if he would of gotten that fish !!!!! On the way home, Todd and I (Gary and Dan went home) stop and fished the American side of Lake of the Woods, we went out at Rocky point hoping to get a few walleyes, and maybe get a few Tullibbees for smoking. We got set up with a tipup out , and was jigging with the other. The Tullibbees bit non stop and ended up with around 70 fish , a couple of eyes, and perch. Then we decided to try Red Lake for some slab Crappies on the way home, got set up by 5:00 and by 7:00 we packed up because of rain with no crappies, but we got alot of walleyes that we had to throw back because of the season being closed on inland waters, also you cant keep them on Red Lake till 2006, because of restocking efforts ! What a way to end the ice season !!
