'Tis The Season

'Tis the season for ice fishing!!  With hunting season behind us, that means it's time for hardcore ice fishing action until spring.  Winter is one of the seasons I look forward to the most.  Big walleye, lake trout, pike and more are going to be hitting the ice this winter.  

I got my snowmachine running in time for some early ice action.  The maiden voyage was a trip to Lac Seul on a solid 8-10 inches of ice.  It wasn't long before walleye started biting.  

This nice walleye couldn't resist a Lindy Darter in 31 feet of water.  

The Darter is one of my go-to baits for all species through the ice

My good buddy Colin was sitting a little deeper and landed a handful of walleye between 18- to- 23 inches, including this chunky fish.  

It's shaping up to be another great year on the ice here in Northwestern Ontario.  

In case you missed it, check out my new ice fishing video.  This action packed highlight reel was put together with footage from last winter on the ice.  

Some people can't wait for winter to be over.... I say bring on the snow and ice!
