Re: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

Not really, I have access to Lake St.Clair and Lake Erie... probably the same as you.

Sounds like you live close to me. I'm gona have to take you fishing one day. There is a pretty good spot over by leamington called holiday harbor, you can fish off shore there off the rocks for perch and channel cats. The forcast calls for cold weather so i got my ice gear ready to go-i feel like a polar bear this time of the year.

It is getting pretty cold out... I hibernate in the winter. You actually ice fish?

Re: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

Yeh i am eagerly awaiting safe ice so i can go catch some tasty fish. I am saving up to get a Marcum flasher this year-its a portable sonar unit used to find fish. It is expencive but makes a big difference by putting you on top of schools of fish. A motorized drill and a shanty are next on my list in that order but i can only afford one thing at a time for now. I went to bass pro shop near my house for the black friday sale but i was very disapointed since nothing i wanted was on sale. They had a gps unit for 100 bucks and it sold out in no time. This was the first time i went shoping at 5:30am and it was totally not worth it but i can see how it could be if a bunch of stuff you want is on sale at 40%to50% off.
As for hunting it has been a bust this year so far. I didn't see a single deer on public land but spotted two good bucks today on private land as i was driving by. My freezer still has lotsa fish in it but still waiting for that buck. I may have to buy some property of my own if i want consistently good hunting.

Well i did not get that buck i was looking for this year but i did get ice in december. My son and i were walking on a local lake and he had a ball , makiing snow angels and sliping and falling all over the place.I will be icefishing either tuesday or wednsaday this week and am still waiting for that flasher i bought on ebay to arrive.

Re: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

Been out fishing a lot last few days but the bite has been real slow. The ice is plenty thick on the lake i am fishing but am waiting for the bigger lakes to freez up. Ice fishing can be pretty physicaly demanding when you need to move a lot and drill lotsa holes. Luckily i have a new electric power auger to do the drilling. I was out yesterday with a armenian friend of mine and it feels good being out there with fellow armenians- i let him take all the fish cause my freezer is still full. I need to figure out how to post pics so i can show you guys our catch later.

One way to post pics, is to save it on your computer, then upload it on your photobucket account...then copy the url image.

Re: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

Been finding the fish lately thanks to my flasher. Had a nice meal of fresh bluegills and crappies yesterday and went out tonight and caught more. It is 7 degrees F out there but the fish are biting. Just got done filleting and i hope to be out there tommorow again. My relatives tell me people ice fish on lake sevan to, that would be veru exciting for me to try.

Re: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

I figured i would post these vids to help some of you get a idea what icefishing is like. No that is not me in the vid but that is what i love doing every winter.
The first vid shows perch and bluegills being caught. These are the taisties fish swimming in fresh waters.

It's not really hunting when they can't get away
