Did you go after them?

 

[redneck joe]

Planning on going Ice fishing tomorrow or the next day. Maybe I'll get lucky and have some pictures to post. Haven't been ice fishing in a few years now, but I retired last week, so I got plenty of time now!

Congratulations on the retirement!

Thanks! Can't wait for all this snow to melt so I can get out in my garden and get my boat in the water!

We'll be busting out the gear soon...ish....

Kids are armed with new lures. Poles are set to go. Middle son will need to go through casting academy as we're not going through a repeat performance of his....hooked me (hand), his brother (life jacket), the boat (windshield), the boat anchor, the bimini....

Will take him to a pond and work through that

Finally have water in our local reservoirs! Took the boat out today for a shakedown as it's been almost 2 full years. Last trip was June of 2021. Boat fired up and ran flawlessly. Still running on the gas from 2020 for the inboard. Last summer I bought a 2019 Honda 8hp longshaft to replace the Merc 2 stroke. 3rd pull and it fired up, so put it through it's paces for a bit. Since everything was going smoothly figured I may as well wet a hook. Caught a nice 15in Rainbow and then had to in as a thunderstorm was about to start. Got drowned getting the boat strapped to the trailer. Couldn't of been any wetter if I'd fell in the lake.

Glad you got back on the water and boat is good to go. Plus you got dinner

Man seeing all these fish pictures is really inspiring me to finish my boat build so I can hit the water.

I got back out on the lake this past Sunday. Got 2 Rainbow, 13 and 14 inch. Was too breezy, but still an enjoyable trip. Forgot to put on sunscreen until I was already getting burnt. Of course it didn't help that I didn't put the top up due to the wind.

Been a good spring here so far. Not monsters by some standards but good ones for south east Pa

The fish sure are better looking than the background!

Just busting your chops a bit ... nice fish for "our climate!" Good job, sir!

I’m not very photogenic. It’s not that bad in person .

Only 1 this time out, but at 16 inches I'm not complaining.

Where are you catching them to? And on what? I'm going to try to get into fly fishing this year. Lots of brown trout and brook trout around here but only a few ponds have rainbows....I've never caught one.
