Well we headed to Muskrat as planned. After meeting at the boat ramp in Cobden for 7:30, we decided to head out onto the ice. We decide to zip down the middle of the lake as there are good tracks all the way, no problem!
We finally pick a spot we figure could be good, well as it turns out, it wasn’t bad, for Pike.
Bucketmouth nails this beauty in relative short order.
Not to be outdone,
Saskie follows about 10 minutes later with this beauty!
Unfortunately, those would be the only two fish that area would hold.
Here’s Bacon enjoying the day,
Tony and Bucket chatting it up,
And Saskie, off on his own enjoying the serenity! He’s beside Oakborne and Zory’s shelter! You weren’t trying to listen were you?
Off we go again on another journey, finally find another spot. We set up shop and it’s not 5 minutes and wham, WIG has a fish on, it has very decent weight, but alas, we’ll never know what it is as my jiggin’ rap gets hung up just under the ice and it’s gone!
Other than a few Perch, that was it for that area, time to move again!
Well we finally find a nice hump in the middle of the Lake, pretty much right on top of where Markus and I were fishing when the big guy landed his 8 pounder at Muskrat. This area just screams, Wally World!!
So we all set up, isn’t long before Tony poaches
inside joke , ‘er I mean runs and grabs Bacon’s line, on the other end is just a hog of a Perch. This photo does not do the fish justice, it was a pig!! Hopefully Bucket has a better shot!
After a few nice sized Perch thrown onto the ice, nothing for awhile, then,
Ransome nails a beauty Wally, 2 pounds plus!
We figured great, things are going to pick up as it was just starting to get darker out!
Alas, that was it until we left anyway. MM, Saskie and myself headed back about 6 pm or so!
Bucketmouth, Bacon, Ransome, Tony, Oakborne and Zory were still there when we left! Top marks to Zory for her spirit, out there all day without so much as a whimper of a complaint!
I also have a short video of Bucket landing his Pike, when I figure out how to link to it, I’ll get it up!
So I figure it was redemption, plus we're on the same team anyways 
or a good sized pike 
I won't even entertain the thought that it could've been a laker because I won't sleep for days
