We rented a 4 person ice shack and I got a ton of beer.

Caught 192 fish :) or about 20lbs.

Cleaned all of them last night and fried some up mmmmmmmmmm

[bratman18]

^sweet!! I love fried smelts!!

[Bu11dogg2]

It was my first time eating them.


REALLY good fresh :)

[bratman18]

I haven't had them for a few years, but I always remember going fishing for them and then having mom cook em up. They were great!! So you had a good time??

[Bu11dogg2]

I got skunked for the first 2 hours.... all the while the 3 others with me were catching like crazy.

Then all of a sudden my lines wouldn't stop tugging :lol:

I've never caught so many fish at once :lol:

[bratman18]

yeah it's cool when they all start moving. You can stay pretty busy!! That's cool!! Glad you had a good time!!

[Bu11dogg2]

Going upta Dresden tonight for some ice fishing :)

[bratman18]

Sweet!! I went ice fishing this afternoon in Boothbay. Caught a rainbow trout and a small bass.

[Bu11dogg2]

^ in the pond?

DEF let me know next time you go, I LOVE Boothbay :)

[bratman18]

I went to West Harbor Pond, no one ever fishes it, but it's full of fish!! I would go a lot more often but I have no ice auger. Did you catch anything the other day?

[Bu11dogg2]

Over 100 :)

We went to James Eddy and rented a 6 person shack.

We also rented a 6 person lodge at Moosehead for 4 days in March :)

[bratman18]

Nice!!! Moosehead is nice. Have you been up there before? I wish I could have a place up there. My uncle has a place right on the lake, he calls it a camp but it's like a house.

[Bu11dogg2]

Yup, few time :)

We used to have a camp on Beech Hill Pond in Otis.

Now it's all houses :lol:

The people who bought from my family raised it up and made it a year round house :lol:

[bratman18]

Yeah it's crazy how populated it is up there now!!! Lake front property is worth a lot now!!

[Bu11dogg2]

My uncle paid $28,000.00 for a 1 bedroom with a loft, no bathroom on 2 acres in 1988.

He added a bathroom/shower and renovated the camp. Sold it for $250,000 in 2006 :lol:

[bratman18]

Sounds like he made out on that!!! Yeah I know that my uncle got his for a great price around 10 years ago, and now it's appraised at some insane amount

[Bu11dogg2]

Yup :)

My dad retired using the profit from flipping camps ;)
