Since ice fishing season is coming up and I'm getting the bug I'll post a pair of pike I caught on the same day last February on one of the few days there was actually safe ice. Hopefully we're in for a long cold winter this year.





Here are a few carp pics from this year. I got a PB common carp and unofficial record at 53lbs 12oz, and PB mirror that won the big fish prize at the spring wild carp classic up in Baldwinsville NY.

Thanks Gatto!! Some real frickin' hogs up here. Still plenty of time before the ice arrives and Matt, I have a hunch this winter won't be a wash like last year. I already got new boots.

It could come sooner than you think. I was out on November 23rd a few years back and got a 41" pike on Thanksgiving morning. I already cleaned out my bait tank and I'm going to start filling it with suckers, goldens and fallfish. I hoping to get the 40" Jersey esox slam this winter: 40" pike, tiger and pure strain. Hopefully I'll pull one out the size of the one in your pic. That thing is a beast!

Thaks man.

And I agree Matt about being soon. Maybe not for Thanksgiving in New Jersey, but I anticipate safe ice in mid-December. A 40-inch Esox ice slam would be legendary, but I have to say if there's one person who could pull it off, it's probably you.

We should hit the ice one day this winter. I have some quick-strike rigs and was going to swing for the fences this year myself. Plus, I think we both can take liberties with our work schedule and we won't have to wait until the weekend.

sax, that's one of the best shots I've ever seen of what it must be like to stare down the gaping jaw of a toothy critter before you kiss your tail fin goodbye!
