 Okay, we are ready to go. Real good breakfast into us this morning. That was good. Had a full plate. What do you think, bud? I think the lakeers are going to cooperate today. Oh, that'd be nice. It's a beautiful morning. It's still better than that wind we fished in yesterday. Yeah. Oh, wow. It's blowing straight sideways. Oh, that was raw. Yeah. It's nice and crisp this morning. It is day number two at the Rip Dam Sporting Camps. We are head down the road, a short click, and we're going to go fish third depth caniglikes today. Temp is holding right at eight below Fahrenheit. No wind yet to speak up, which is a good thing. We got, oh, 10 minute drive down to the parking area, and then a good 12 mile ride in on the snowmills. Targeting Togue today, otherwise known as Lake Trout, and we're going to be looking at them with the underwater cameras, fishing them with the pan optics, and also setting some traps for them, otherwise known as tip-ups. Had a really, really good afternoon night and night last night, casting mission, ended up with 13 topside. I got my personal best so far, personal biggest at 5.66 pounds, which I am scoped about. We caught three really nice eaters, but they froze solid on us before we could get off the ice. We didn't bring them in the ice shack, so we won't eat those today either. We'll throw them out, hopefully eat them sometime within the next few days. Guys, we are loaded up about to head in. Where are we heading now? Where are we going to go? Third depth canig? Third depth canig. We're going to chase some Lake Trout. Nice, how's the ride in? It's going to be beautiful, all nice groomed trail, 12 miles. Perfect. It's good views of the mountain. Nice. Go down the west branch, it should be a good ride. Awesome, sweet. We're tanned them up here, got all the gear in this one, plenty of room to spare. There's the mountain there, the parking lot, a bunch of people doing some winter hiking. Good for them. We're ready to go. See you guys when we get in there. What do you think buddy? Okay. Yeah, we're looking good. Start. Yeah. Okay, we made it out. We are checking with the Garmin to find some structure. We're looking for humps and rocks and edges and there's a big school of smelt right here at 50. So I drilled a hole right above it 50 feet away and there's a big school of smell on top of that rock pile. Had one casualty coming out, the Markham did not make it out. A little too cold for it, I think. Hit a bump or something and that's the end of that Markham. Okay, we just got our traps and we both set four traps because we're going to set up the otter tent and do some jigging and we're just setting up that tent, just started to open it up and got a high flyer over here. Let's see what's going on. We left the scoop back there. It's just snow. It doesn't appear to be moving yet. Oh, did it roll? This water's so clear it's playing tricks on my eyes. This is clear water, gin clear. It's definitely tripped wide open, but it's not moving and correction, it is off to the side. What do you usually do here? You hit him pretty quick or hit him? Oh yeah, I think he's there. Somebody's home. I just pulled it right out of his mouth, I think. It felt small. Yeah, he took it for a little run. He had it like mouth. Did he clean you? Where'd he go? I saw him. Oh, I saw him. Okay. Yeah, there was one there. There was. All right. Fish do live in this lake. I swear. I believe you. That's weird. He like came in just skirted way around. Yeah, struggling guys. Saw one fish on the electronics and he wasn't even interested. So we're going to make a move. We're going to try a little deeper water. See if this high pressure bluebirds guys push them down. Nice. He came screaming. Yeah, he did. Well, I guess it was worth the move. Yeah, we just, that was first drop. He doesn't feel huge, but he came screaming. He's getting a little more fight to him now. We go backwards. All right, we're on the board, buddy. Hey, that's a pretty fish. Nice. First drop. I guess it was worth going a little deeper. Yeah, I switched over to the rattle trap too and he must have heard that thing rattle. You see how fast he went? He got in nowhere. Literally, you just got down there. Could you grab this? Yeah, I got the water shake. You hang these tog upside down. They usually stop flopping. Oh, these are yours. Good job. Get them. All right. He's skinny, but he's long. Nice. All right, guys. It's 1040. That's our first one top side. It's been tough day, slow day, high pressure bluebirds guys. We just made a move with this little shack and literally first drop. We got down to about 70 foot of water and he came flying out of the side and jumped on that rattle trap. He didn't even hesitate. No, not even a little bit. Not even a little bit. I guess we'll just let him go. I got a buddy that would eat him, but we're still, I'm still quite a few days away from being home. Cool. On the board. That'll wake you up. I'm still a little tired from last night's cut fishing. That's a lure that a lot of people overlook. It's a bass lure, but it's so loud. And you saw how far he came in from. Man, they fight way harder here than they do in Subego. Really? Oh my God. Yeah. All right, guys, if you're just tuning in, we are fishing out of the Rip Dam sporting camps. And we're today, we are on, what are we on? Third Debskini Ag. Yeah. Something like that. Debskini Ag. Debskini Ag. You've probably heard them all. Is that just us or was that a fish? I think one coming in looked at me. Really? Yeah. Oh, is there one there? Yeah, there was. He's like, what is that thing? He's too small, I'll take. Yeah, so you're trying to have the small ones today. Right? Yeah, I'll take all smalls today. So Max, what's the proper pronunciation for this lake? We are on third Debskini Ag. Yeah, it was. He just bolted out. Yep. Debskini Ag. An absolutely beautiful lake. I wish it wasn't blowing straight sideways out there, guys, or I'd show you around a little bit more. Yeah. But what was the weather forecast today? Oh, we got a nice, light 5 to 10 mile an hour breeze today. Yeah, the variable. The variation is dripping. Yeah. It's bad. A steady 20, gusting 30. Yeah. Just starting to get a little serious. Yeah, we're dealing with this again today. Yeah, this breeze is a little... Pull up to this somewhere. Yeah. Your turn. You getting bigger? Oh, look at that. Hey. Pretty though. Yeah. Holy cow. That's pretty fish. We're on the board, guys. Get a close up of that. He's pretty as heck. Like gold and beautiful spotted. Maybe I'll downsize some hooks if they're going to be that size. Very big, but we'll take them. Biggest one of the day right there so far. Number three, pretty fish. That's pretty fish right there. All right, guys, we are picking up. We still got an hour or two a daylight left, but we want to get out of here and get back to the ranch. We're going to take a little snowmobile ride first. Max is going to show me second Debskeneague and some other really cool trails and cool areas around here first. Fishin' wise, it was one of those days fishing. You know, we broke off, we broke electronics, we broke skimmers, we broke a lot of stuff, and they just weren't up. They weren't moving around. We didn't see any on the screen, and Max talked to his buddy down Lake who had 10 traps out. They'd only had one flag the entire day. So we got out of here with three fish topside, I think. Not the worst day. Could have been way worse. What's she doing? Smell fuel. Yeah? Smell it? I'll get a straw. It's actually your lucky day. We weren't planning on coming this way for one and two, and two we quit early. Yeah, you got that tool to pull the belt. Try it one more time, or do you want to tow them? If it'll run, I mean. Do you think you got enough power? Yeah, no worries. We'll tow you. That's a corking little jet toad sled, huh? Jesus. 30 years ago. You made it? Yeah. Wow. Bait buckets and two lunch pails. That's awesome. I made it in front of mine there. We went all the time in the first. Put two brush buckets in there. Wow. There's pretty light? Yeah, it's all aluminum. Yeah, that's awesome. Wow. If you don't get any big salmon in there, I'd have to put some. Toe's pretty good, that thing? Yeah. I got to put some more steves on the back. Let me pull you up so I can unhook that up to me. And you're sure you've got enough power, huh? I got to ask. Kill switch. Oh, yeah. I just got to ask. I just checked. Okay, I got to ask because I've done it. I've burned the battery up one time because I didn't know that. Max, you want me to pull up and get out of your way or back? It might be hard to back up all three. I'll go up on the other side of the bridge to let you get a run and start. We'll give you a push. Don't go too far back, okay? We can probably hook on with that snowmobile. Ready? I don't think she's out yet. Yeah, we'll get you. We'll get you out of there. We'll go back another three or four feet. Ready? So you just wait one second. Let me make sure you're okay on this side. Yeah, if you want to come back slow, just go slow so it doesn't spin down. Right now, if you cut your wheels, you can come forward now. It's our day. It's our lucky day. I appreciate you. Oh, no problem. We'll give you a hand. Yeah, we'll give you a hand. It's our lucky day if we can help people as a way I look at it. Our pleasure, guys. It doesn't get much better than that. No, it doesn't. We're both smoke-tired. I think catching these costs kind of wore us out. Yeah, don't do that. A midnight bedtime with a 430, wake up kind of put us behind eight ball today. For sure. I'm feeling it. Yeah, me too. And then that wind, the wind when you're ice fishing just takes all your energy out at the end of the day. You're like, I'm always smoke-tired. I don't know about you. Oh, I was over it today. Yeah. That five to 10 mile an hour wind blowing a steady 20 all day was pretty sick. Yeah, it sure was. So fishing was really tough. The fish were off. We were not catching them. But we ended up salvaging the day and awesome day. Max pulled an older fella out. Geez, probably six miles. Yeah, six, seven miles. Yeah, six, seven miles saved him a walk and another tow job. Right. Yeah, he towed him right out with him and his gear. We got him loaded up. And then as we were doing that, we helped an old lady who was stuck in the snow. And we met a couple pretty cool guys that are in the rock climb and talked to them for a while. So all in all, really excellent day. Yeah. Yeah. Fishing wasn't spectacular, but you get that fishing. That's why they call it fishing. So what do you think about what we're going to do tomorrow? Hopefully do a lot more than what we do today. Oh, we'll do that. Yeah. I'm not worried about that. No, I don't know. Hopefully get into some nice spleak. Spleak and brook trout. Beautiful. Give it a whirl. All right. Spleak and brook trout for tomorrow, guys. Thanks for tuning in. We'll see you then.
