was going to hit a trout lake today but decided to take a rest to dry and ready my gear for Lakerland tomorrow.. Even though today might be a balmy no wind great time out there , 2 days of brutal conditions require such things ..
Perch were fun, even better when we are catching nice ones and throwing tons of egg laden females back..
Tonight will be a surf and turf dinner,   beer battered Perch & Venison.. Cant wait :)
Here are just a few shots from the Polar Vortex Yesterday:





 
Lets hope we get some Steel Slimmers tomorrow :)
 

Looks like the Fulton Fish Market for Pete's sake! (whoever Pete is he's missing a good fish dinner)

YUM!!!!
E.O.M.

Had a good day today.  Wind was BRUTAL, but inside the shanty was warm enough to go without gloves. The Colman lantern worked well for a heater.    Killed the bass today for some reason.   Here are the 3 biggest.   One was over 20 and the other 2 close.   Got a few nice perch too.   Several between 10 and 11 inches.   Got enough for a meal

Thanks for your posts on Ice Shanty, Clint.  As a result, I know there is enough ice for a Mad River Club derby next weekend, and if the weather and the car are behaving, I may get up and get workday credit.  I've posted a couple of ice safety tips on the Irondequoit Bay, but the moderator for that site is descended from God directly and deletes freely, so they don't stay up long!  Good to see the rigs are working, it has to be more fun than frozen line Tenkara would be on the SR with this prolonged sub zero.

Thanks for a great day, bro. Always fun to fish with you, I'll be out again soon.
I had a beautiful ride home on the back farm roads. A great sunset was a good way to end the day.

Thanks for the pics guys, life has not allowed me any fishing time great to see some fisheys

While it's not quite the same.. To me it's cold steel (trout) on ice.. Brutal conditions for sure but at least we Iced one for the record books..
Xs 2 on the ride home. I followed the back way along the Hudson to my house and had dreams of stripers..
We got some more Slimmers to I ce first though.. Thanks for sharing the day Charlie..

Where's the heated hut with the flat screen TV?
NICE FISH!
