how 'bout ice fishing for cod with jigs on a frozen Canadian river? :err:

AAAAH! :err: :smash:

Fishweewee....you got way too much time on your hands judging by this thread!:doh: Come on big guy....shake it off.....only about 100 days plus or minus a week till' the stripers are back in town!:uhuh: Till' then....bide your time my friend and sign off the site for a few hours and try ice fishing as soon as we get some!:smash:

I can't remember what it's called, but as a kid, my brother and used to go to this small creek about a mile from the house in upstate New York and we'd catch small brook trout with our hands. They'd be tucked up under the overhang of the creek bank and you used to be able to gently slide your hand under them and grab them or ideally get a finger under their gill cover plate and flip them out of the water.

And this fall, I actually caught a Bluefish with my hands. They were busting bait on the shore and a wave carried the bait and the blues past me up on to the beach and when the skinny water receeded, a nice fat blue came wiggling by and I grabbed him by the tail! He was invited home for dinner....

Fishweewee has been logged onto this site for over 2,246 continuous hours since he landed his last striper....take pity on him!:bc: :spin: :conf: :biglaugh: :laugha:

:bc: the possibilities are endless! :bc:

Kite fishing has always intrigued me. When you think about it, it sounds like the most realistic way possible to fish bait on the surface.

You forgot live-lining herring with baloons :laughs:

Thought you'd never ask. I think this was Christian's idea?

:D

i saw an article either in print or online last year about this. they also get sharks through the ice. :eek: damn crazy canadiens!

dogfish :hihi:

i read somewhere they catch greenland sharks through the ice.

Been There ..... Done that! :)

I've always wanted to try Bow hunting for fish...I have seen it once and it looked like fun!

Sandman, my Dad used to bow hunt for carp in Ct. When the carp would spawn, they roll on the surface and he would shoot them with a bow fitted with line and a reel.

FWW, the answer is yes, you CAN do it all. Its just that work gets in the way!

FWW, all we can do is try my friend, all we can do is try.:D

Rent a houseboat as a vacation and just fish, eat, drink and be merry ...plus they have Striped bass up to 48 pounds.
that sounds like fun.... heres the link:[url]http://www.utah.com/nationalsites/glen_canyon.htm

I suppose it could all be done if that stupid thing called LIFE didnt get in the way! SHHEEEESH!
