Ice Fishing Eh
« on: February 06, 2010, 08:05:25 pm »
Myself , the wife, my son and his girlfriend hit the ice today the weather was cold but with clear blue skies so in other words a beautiful day.
The perch didn't co-operate but we managed to get 3 nice ciscoe, which are a type of whitefish, delicious when broiled :) If anyone has some ice fishin pics please feel free to post them :)

 Cool pic's, Dana. This is probally as close as a Fla. Cracker is going to get to ice fishing. And the lake in this picture is acidic, no fish.

Dana...I thought that Cisco were a member of the Salmon Species...... ???

I went ice fishin' once, and I caught some, but damn near drowned cookin' it.  :D :D :D.

Kidding. I like ice fishing, but haven't been out this year.

 Mike, We rented it from one of the NDN's in Northern Manitoba. The day before the ice broke there was two feet of slush. We needed one with paddle tracks.

 Those Ciscoe's look kinda like a mullet.

Nice catch!
They are part of the Salmon family, got that extra fin on the back. IME they are hard to get stuck on the hook, cause their mouths are like jelly. At lest on a fly. They are good smoked to.

Reminds me of a skipjack herring or an overgrown shad.  Neither of which are good table fare.  Them perch look mighty tasty though!

     Dana, those Cisco's look like squaw fish in Montana.  They don't eat them, and use them for bait.  Not exactly supposed to...... ::)
There is another name they are using now, politically correct horse poop!  It's a Squaw fish!  Like the Goliath Grouper.  As far as I can remember they were called Jew fish.  I hate it when they nuts, with the touchy feelly name changing .  If they want to change a fish's name, how about Scrod?!  It sounds like a part I don't want to eat!  But anyway Dana, looks like a fun day fer a bunch of Yoopers hey?
