Finally, fresh fish

[RAF]

Am back at my cabin and weather is great. Only about 2 feet of snow left and it's melting. Temperatures up to +10(50 F). Still 3 feet of ice on the lake. Got out yesterday and drilled some holes and settled down on the seat of my snowmobile to work on my tan :wink: . Suddenly felt that unmistakable tap. Set the hook and got one on. Finally I can say I caught more than ice . On to the ice flopped a nice 4lb pike and this is the result



Worked on my tan some more and did catch a burbot that I put back. Fishing wasn't great but had fun and did get a head start on my tan :wink:

RAF, I've always enjoyed your posts. For a contrasting but somewhat related story, we caught several red drum (channel bass) in the salt water creeks this morning...had to come in early...too hot to fish...80 degrees in SE North Carolina...

I feel like Pavlov's dog. Fish are always better when caught through the ice.

Doctor told me to eat more fish to raise my good cholesterol. Let's see, a new fish finder for sure... probably a new outboard. Yes dear, Doctor's orders.

Life can be good

Could you give me the name of that doctor. I think I have fish fever that needs a remedy.

And fishing is very relaxing which is also good for the blood pressure

Attention POWERS THAT BE.. Isn't there some way to ban the likes of this? RAF is overdoing this eating thing and now I have to take the wife out to eat supper at some place that doesn't have his menu. I hope his onion is strong and that he has to buy the wife a brand new rig she gave to the fish. H E L P. I am starving.
