morning what's happening here oh we just getting ready to get motivated what's going on top bunk pretty comfortable imagine pretty warm in here fellas well we got about oh I don't know hour hour and a half before daylight so we're gonna enjoy each other's company and maybe rig some gear in case we need to rig some gear and get ready for that first morning bite maybe even pop a couple holes early nice all right it's gonna be a hell of a day fellas can't wait that's right what do you think Brandon I think let me shut this light off so you can see I think we're fishing for quality over quantity today I'd like to see 10 lakers and five salmon would be it would be a good day in that spot a little quality so everybody's got five lines what are you setting your five for I'm going three deep two shallow today so three for tog two for salmon you know I'm planning on doing a couple of them undecided we got to get some salmon on the ice first yeah might throw them back out yeah my ship do it might get some salmon on board get 10 or 15 of them in the sled this morning then shift out yeah we'll shift out the deep water for the darkest afternoon everything goes well so I fished the next lake over that these guys know real well as west muskwash and one thing I learned there is no matter how shallow you said or how high up you said you could still catch tog on them so I would be surprised if we set some salmon sets this morning you might see a couple good lakers in there it's not uncommon at all and what are we looking at for weather today boys boys look beautiful right now maybe 15 or

ever fished in that group I was the only idiot who went out and said she was blowing straight sideways and I sat and my traps blew out of the friggin water it was glare ice so it went right across the top the ice the only thing stopped them from going to Greenville was the hook caught on the edge of the ice yeah and then the school was going all right I'll take the trap right up and through it right across the ice grand yeah I was a kid this I was probably nine ten years old we fish in Boyden's Lake as a kid my father took us and pull a trap for a big deal you had a son of polar traps you
