end of season

[walter]

i had a free day, and went fishing. i think it's the last time before winter.

i started in a ugly way: immediately lost a good spinner, and a broken bycicle lamp... no comment.

there were big chubs. those are very, very, very smart... but i managed to catch this one, 41 cm



then i lost another spinner... the last one of that type.

a rudd



and his friends





a micro chub





and in the middle something a bit more than 30 cm



then other small ones





i go away, and look for wels catfishes. and got this, 48 cm.



then i lost other 2 spinners. i really hate losing baits. especially if i lose them under my feet, or in st*pid/unlucky ways. so i took my bike and retuned home.

200 m from home, i saw this nice friend. it was climbing a net. it's really cute, isn't it?







then i arrived home. and my cat was waiting me.



i hope i can go fishing soon, but probably i'll have to wait until the next spring.

Walter, what kind of spinners are you loosing, are they small ones. Would small silver spinners be of use to you as I have a whole bunch I dont use.

Ya its about time to trade the rod & reel for the stick & string here

The next time I go fishing will be when we get about 2 in of ice ;D

oh, so your one of them, one of those crazy guys that goes out on 2 inches. i dont hit the ice until there are at least 5 inches, but not that its that big a deal, usually the time it takes to go from iced over to 5 inches is less then 2 weeks, unless theres alot of snow. i wont drive out until i have found atleast 16 inches.
i have seen guys go out on less then an inch using two sheets of plywood to crawl out to open water on the river and jig over the edge. i guess its crazy good fishing, but i think its just crazy.
good luck perchin on the bay this year, im still hoping to get a laker this year.

Ya its a little hairy when your out there and you can hear the ice cracking underneath you but you almost have the whole lake to yourself.Once there is about 5 in of ice it looks like a small city

I agree with you on the driving part if the ice isn't at least 16 inches thick I don't drive out there.
