Ice Fish 2014 (video)

Winter has been one wicked beast this year.


Settled into working more and fishing less through December and only managed to make it out for a day and an evening on the ice. My girls vacationing away two weeks come January meant no-holds-barred fishing time if work didn’t bog me down too much. Well, managed to continue working double-time anyways and put 22 days on the ice between New Years day and Valentines Day. Gotta love shiftwork for that, yet it has been a run for sure and not all outings in the BIG deep freeze and ever deepening snow have been easy, but some days have been super fruitful. A few friends have joined in a time but most days are like the old ways, solo as it was north in the Moose. For something different the GoPro has been rolling steady and it has captured more than 70 videos. This here You-Tube link should sum it all up just about right.

Enjoy the rest of your hardwater season.


Bunk.

Great vid Bunker. I haven't seen "colours" like that since the 60's LOL.................Boog

Good stuff, different, but put together well...

That's awesome! I would love to see what you could do with a production budget, you are already above most of the shows out now.

Sweet video! I'll be watching for more - nicely done....FB

That sir, is awesome! Well done!

Great video but someone should shoot that neighbour with the loud ghetto blaster....

Great shots, even better music, but the best part was the missed hook set. Made me realize of all the ones I've missed and putting my head down in frustration. Priceless! Well done sir!

Great video!!! man you guys have no snow on the lakes!!!! i wouldn't think of taking an atv on the lakes up here

Simply amazing!!Great job on the video!!You never cease to amaze me with your stories and now this!!I don't know how much more I can take.lol

Very well done Drew .Wtg. That takes a pile of editing and playing around with the cam. I wonder what kind of affect changing the audio to a mellower background would have? Maybe for the fishing part lol. Probably not good, but it would be neat to try hehe. Some nice greys there for sure too. That was fun.
Hey, that left boot looks familiar lmao. Speaking of boots, those strap on ice cleats come in handy in the shack too when you're down to bare ice inside and the heat on. Good idea to have them in the kit bag even when there's plenty of snow.

Cheers

Thanks dood! I actually did get the hook into that fish for about 10 seconds... then it got off. I'd say for every 10 hooksets about 8 or 9 stick. Can't win 'em all.

Hey Scud... earlier 3 weeks in January we were quite barren of snow, it is NOT like that at all now.

I don't know how much more I'll continue to give. lol. Thanks dood, glad you enjoy my stuff, I've always enjoyed putting things like this together. Been doing it for what seems like a long time and it's good to know new and old anglers to the forums appreciate the efforts.

Smitty... If you can believe I put that duct tape on that boot sometime in the winter of 08 I think. Did it to secure some rubber patches a little more to the boot. Well, it's stuck all that time. lol. But it is coming off now.

Fishing with MuskyMatt a day in late December I slipped on the ice and crushed my shoulder and chest. Wind knocked right out of me and stiff and sore a few weeks after. Walked almost 2km's out onto a lake too without cleats then back and by the time I got in my groin was throbbing from stabalizing to balance. Don't know why I never bought cleats sooner, they're cheap at CTC even if ya only get a season out of 'em.

I'll send ya a little diddy with some mellower music. ;)


Thanks gang. Glad ya enjoyed the vid.

The headbanging trout, my girls in the sleigh behind the skidoo swinging their arms, the frozen swamp scene sped up, drilling the hole and catching the hooksets... But yeah, the headbanging trout was cool as all those. Good timing in the tune for sure.
