[stinger63]

Hey Joe great Job on those fish.Was way too cold out there for me.I admire your courage and endurance.

[Joeker51]

Oh man......unbelievable day ! 17 shy of a two man limit. First time in many years that my son and I have fished together. Fantastic !:D When they'd come thru I was getting doubles......couldn't keep up with the pace.:yikes: Even got one to inhale a splitshot(nice fish):D . M & M Bait and tackle put us on them. Was getting too late in the morning to head for Harsens so he pointed us in the right direction.;) Average size shook out to be 10 inches. At one point we were throwing back the 8 inchers.:lol: Don't know how many I lost at the hole and was grabbing for them.:dizzy: :fish:

Good JoB!!!

Very nice job on the fish!!! Wife and I ahve been going out alot but havent caught!@#$%^& this year yet!!!Where about's did ya find them beauties? My wife is always on here trying to learn about fishing, what works, what dont where places are .She even bought a shanty all on her own . But is mad as hell this year, havent caught nothin to speak of.Any tips would be appreciated.

[stinger63]

Joe I hope you were in a shanty with heat and didnt travel light.Once again you are my hero of the day for not only enduring the cold to fish but catching them like you did. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[swamprat1954]

nice fish ya got there joeker :D

[Joeker51]

Aaron, shanty(Clam 5600) on a sled I built. Add power auger and the rest of the gear can figure some where in the area of a hundred pounds pulling it out there. Coleman propane lantern for heat. It worked ok. Couldn't/wouldn't maybe..(not playing with a full deck as you know) have been out there with out the shanty. Worst part was coming back in ................. didn't want to leave.:fish:

Ice cleats are a must. Let's be careful out there fella's.

[mcanes1]

Nice job Joe, too cold for me. Definitely going this weekend, though.

[KI Jim]

Well done Joe! You out did all of us wimps :lol: .

Nice job Joe!! Were you at the Raft?? A buddy told me about catfish swimming through all the time. All you missed were some nice gils and crappies. Took most of the day to get it going though.

Harry

[Joeker51]

Now Harry.....if I told ya my son would put a contract out on me.:lol: He's cutting out a half a day of work to go back Wednesday:bloos: (or so he thinks, gotta remember he works for me):lol:

Can't believe how much that Stunner took and how well it stood out on the bottom. What ever your doing to them jigs.................KEEP DOING IT !;)

[Ed Stringer]

Mikey..........I keep telling you ..........You gotta get a LIFE.:coco:

Gentlemen, here we have a secure single professional man who works bankers hours and sits at home. I can think of 3 things he could do...... Fish - hunt - chase women. :D Can any of you fella's out there set him up with a real date so we can get his priorities back on track !;)

Empty your PM box Mikey so the boys can give some leads !!

[stinger63]

Perhaps our friend "off the wall" needs some references to some fine internet dating sites?Dont ask me I dont know of any because if i did I probaly wouldnt be married right now:hide:
Perhaps Mike just works too darn much and needs lessons on how to actualy catch fish while ice fishing?I know that I do because all I managed to is succelfully drill holes and lug my stuff around:help:

I know our friend Mike is a busy busy person but we can always help in rearanging is priorities:)

Im going to get out this weekend or sooner maybe I can help him.I have forgot what an actual yellow belly looks like in person myself,better yet I wanna know what they actualy feel like on an ice fishing rod:help: If it wasnt for Joeker51`s recent pics I would have no idea either.

[Joeker51]

My son is headed out about noon tomorrow. Yeah I begrudginly let him have the afternnon off.:rant: Will keep you posted how he did.

[Joeker51]

Got a call from Mike today. Says he's thought it over and needs a change. Of the 3 things mentioned ...he's chosen to start chasing women. Only requirement is that the lady has to enjoy the out doors and must be able to show him the ropes. :SHOCKED: Says he's even considered posting his cell number but would prefer to converse via PM.

After the fall on the ice yesterday, I need a nurse..

Mike

[Joeker51]

Yep, you need a nurse alright after that spill you took. Therapy is good for the soul, Mikey.;) :D

[MiketheElder]

If they're anything like the nurses I knew in the army you better say "HELL YES!"
