Man,...got out the day before yesterday with eric and got a few more!!  35-37 water and this is blowing my mind.  

Today I got out with Matt 5.0 and I found another one!!  I'm really kinda dumbfounded, water even dropped a few degrees since the other day.  I'm not complaining, I'm just really excited to be catching where/when and how, I never have in the past.

(finally,.....13,000 posts later,lmao  ;D )

ICY CONDITIONS

WOW! What a way to break the ice.

Nice fish Russ!

I was happy it did zero gill damage,...

I don't do surgery!

Still waiting for the first one of '08...

Nice fish, but I think you've got a bearing going out in your trolling motor.  It sounds like a rattling box of rocks.  ;D ;D ;D

Russ, you guys normally fish with traps and cranks this time of year or is that something new you're trying out?

Cool vid BTW 8-)

Killer Video guys. Nice fish too.

They say the mind is the first thing that goes. I even posted on that thread. Sorry, my mind is on that Guntersville trip. Been a little scatterbrained lately. :-[

Reminded me of one of them National Geographic specials about the ice breakers. You guys were making a new Northeast Passage. LOL

Nice fish and cool video. You guys have invented a whole new technique. "Ice Crankin".  8-)

Ronnie

Nice video amigo.  

seriously dude...you guys are crazy...folks around these parts are still ice fishing...my hands would be so cold I wouldn't be able to operate a pair of pliers let alone lip a bass lol

Nice vid, fish etc.

Been there too dude in thicker ice

Its like a water concert--music to my ears

;D Hardcore!!

I see you're still up to your old tricks!

Jimmy Houston ain't got nuthin on  you.  ;D

OUCH!

It's ok, I understand your frustration......poor Tin,...no fish for '08 yet while his friends have as many as 3 successful trips so far,.....oh, the frustration..... ;D

you guys are making me jealous, russ!

it's all good though, i'll be sure to land a few g'ville lunkers in your honor.  8-)

We may have an open seat  in the line up this weekend if you want to shoot down for a Gville warm up (or cool down,...hmmm, not sure how to class this one,lol)

keep me updated on that, i just might try to make it down if you've got an open seat.

i had tentative plans to head to a local lake on saturday that's supposedly open but now i don't think my buddy's gonna be able to go so it's looking like that's not gonna happen.

Well, we'll be there, snow or shine, there is no "hope he still wants to go" with us

It's looking good so let me get a head/boat count of who is on board for sat and sun and I'll give you a scream via PM.

i would like to get some casts in on the new revo and hmx, so chances are i'll head down saturday if there's an open seat. let me know, i'm gonna have to unpack a few things if that's the case!

what time do you usually hit the water?

No need to unpack, you can use my stuff.
