Few From Thursday

Took one of my old Partners into a small Speck Lake. A little tough going breaking trail in as our combined age is 140. But we got there and caught our limit. Same old for me, 8 fow under the ice, small silver Williams, 2" Dace minnow with a stinger in its tail. Got 9 jigging and one on a tip up. By the way, these were all just over 2 lbs. You can judge the length by the small hatchet,

How do you usually cook them?

Some guys would just show a couple of pics, but NO, you have to show 8 or 9! Talk about rubbing salt in the wound!

Real nice brookies Woody! I grew up in NE & NW Ontario and man do I miss the bush and the lakes. My mouth is watering....I hope you cleaned up all that blood afterward :)

Wayne Gretsky is trolling fellas...

Nice looking fish and fillets, specs have the nicest colored meat!

Very nice catch Woody. Thanks for taking the time to share your great photos!

Gretzky was good but was always a bit of a pretty boy anyway. He definitely didn't want to have anything to do with blood on the ice!! :) :)

Looks like a good feast

Good goin woody!

Actually guys I never get to eat many of my fish. There is always a bunch of promises I have to keep, after telling people I will bring them a meal. These were filleted an deboned, something I never do with Specks, then given to a friend. I just gut mine, roll them in flour, salt and pepper, then on to a frying pan in oil.

As much as I get excited to see you have a new thread started, it really does drive me nuts to read it.
Once again I'm drooling all over the front of my shirt!!!
Keep em coming Woody.

Way to go Woody... you guys have it made up there .. beautiful area with great fishing ... thats what keeps you young.. I love ready about your trips .. keep them coming ... 140 ???? no way your Buddy is 85 !

Good one Frenchie, lol. My buddy is 75 and I am 65, but Natives look young for their age, lol

That skandic is a beast. Woody, can you comment on any negatives with that machine? Any repairs/maintenance needed to be done?

Second season with it Mr. Gunn and it is rock hard. I have 2500 miles on it and not a hitch. If you want a trail breaker and a work machine, this is it. 600 etec is around 130 hp, you can tow a truck with it, and the 156 x 24" track is unstoppable. Don't worry about the weight, all these wide tracks are too heavy to lift, I carry a shovel, come along and a bumper jack, if she gets buried, I can have her out in 10 minutes. I put a new belt on it this year and kept the old one for a spare, outside that not a nickle spent. They come now with a 2 year warranty, so if something is going, it will go in the first year. Took a little while to adjust the strap to where I like the steering, but that was it.

Forgot to mention the mirrors, had to take them off after the first time in the bush, the tag alders were wedging up in them and then trying to tear the windshield off. really garbage set up. ok for the trail, but only trouble in the bush.

Thanks Woody, I like to dream a lot about hunt camp, fishing and hunting. I would love a machine like this. But as I sit here with a one week old in my arms and a two year old that won't go to sleep, It will be a while before I can get one!

Nice fish Woody. I'm sure those fish fillets you shared were well enjoyed!

Thank You greenpark.

Aww Mr Gunn, you have a lot more right now with those kids than any inanimate snow machine. I would trade all my toys to be in your boots. They will grow up, all to swiftly, and you will have lots of time and even a few bucks left over for toys. Toys are cheaper than kids, but not nearly as nice.

Best pic of all is the one of the fillets. Bright red flesh--great eaters.

Well done Woody and congrats . . Love the king of fish, the mighty speckle trout . Are you sure those are not a 5 lb average ? LOL

TD

nice work

Nice fish indeed, thanks for sharing Woody.

Sooooooooooo wanna live up Nipigon way... and don't wanna wait ti'll I can.

Good fishing sir!
