AV duct - ice fishing missson !

[gletemfeelsteelgary]

Rolled out to AV with my pal Mikey…..IT WAS COLD !

Yeeeee-hole’ !

Freezing guides !

Heck….even had my braid freezing up with droplets of ice !

There was one period of the night it was difficult to cast and fish as the ice kept building up so much on the guides, line and the level wind froze solid....the line simply wouldn't slide out any more...some sick harsh stuff...but that made for an even greater challenge ! : )

Wooo-hoo !

Vampire mission at it’s best !

A few spots into it…

THUNK !...


BENDO !

A Drag peeling Sight..

¼ moon cycle

Weining Moon delight !

Hits the NET !



And Daddy iz eatin Stripey tonight ! : )

Real girthy Unit !


Another couple spots….

Wham !

Slammed HARD !

And let ‘em feel the steel hard in return !

Wooo-hoo…as the frost strips from my line collecting on the 1st 5 to 7 guides on my 7’ 11” crucial pole..

I am reminded why I put myself through the weather Gauntlet to seek the challenge that is “Stripey !”

Anutha’ fat girthy model hits da’ net !


No more Stripey action but a nice fat 6 lb class Kitty cat decided to eat my lure….

AND……

ahhh heck….

since he decided to eat…….

So did I !

A stripey and catfish Two-fer will be on the menu tonight !

Good times……..Tuff weather….but always good time (if your dressed accordingly !)

I landed 2 stripey and lost 1 plus 1 fat kitty (no pic)

Didn’t bother weighing them but I’d guesstamate the stripey at about 9 & 12 to 13

Nice thick fat girls !

Mickey didn’t contact the fish this outing unfortunately.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics..
Heres another cell pic of the smaller one:


Till next time !
