Maine 2009 Ice Fishing Season

[Fish Monger]

On day #2 of 2009 I've FINALLY gotten out onto the ice for the first trip of the year.
Got this 13" Brookie and one other 6" Brookie.

Nice Job


Where is the water :shock:

 

[Zum]

Is that a fish or a fossil?
Way to get out there,nice job.

That fish looks awefully cold, I think you should warm it up in a nice frying pan.

 

[Jim]

It's almost time! :mrgreen:

 

[Specknreds]

Heyyyy!!! Are you sure you didn't catch that at the seafood market??? :lol:

Just joking, nice catch!!!

 

[Fish Monger]

It's that cold up here. Fish are flash freezing in below zero temps. I didn't even lift the little 6 incher I caught out of the hole, just cut the line.

And no water, caught both fish in less than two feet of water on shore :wink: great way to target Brookies!

Some warm water species from yesterday.

 

[Zum]

Kinda ironic...warm water species.
Have alot of chain pickeral there?
They were chain pickeral,weren't they?

 

[Fish Monger]

Yes, they are Chain Pickerel. They are pretty much everywhere.

We now have Pike in Maine, but I haven't fished any waters that hold them yet.

That would be something cool to do one day, fish through the ice when I need 4 layers to walk outside when it's 45 degrees :lol:

Nice catchin!
