Caff. The Pro Ice Fisherman was put in response to a certain poster that had Pro Player over his Avatar as a joke.
I am mainly a Summer Angler, but when living in Canada, Ice Fishing is an option when we have so much Winter. So yes, most of us Summer guys are out standing
on the ice in 30 below temps. We use Ice Tents with heaters for quick warms ups but most of us are Run and Gun fishermen.
We pick a spot and drill a dozen holes and are constantly on the move.
Where I am, Wall Eye, Pike and Perch. Unless you fly in to certain camps further north.
Then, many species of trout, Lakers etc.
We do have one lake with Rainbows, mainly due to a fish farm where their netting had broke, releasing the entire stock into the lake.
We have a Reservoir by a power station that stock Large Mouth as the return water from the station keeps the water warm all year round.
We were just there last Wed and limited on Bass within an hr of being there.
So, anyone that says that Bass is a bland tasting fish doesn't know what they are talking about.
Between the three of us, we probably caught approx 100 fish all day.
I kept the Jack as I make Jack Jerky.
That is a nice Brown Buddy. Which part of the USA are you in that you have access to those?
Ah, I see that the picture says Nova Scotia Fishing so you are a fellow Canuck, unless you prefer to be called a Novi. Haha.
Most of the displaced Newfies and Novies that I play pool with are also avid anglers. Must come from the Heritage. They also know their way around a pool table.
Probably the Heritage too as most of the guys I hang with aren't shy about having a few beer.
