Fishing with "Ralph"

[Ridgeratt]

hey is that a fuse hanging out of ralph?

Well it is Stevens county 

Ralph will be in Stevens County in the morning to see if we can get in trouble!!!   

He's kind of shy but he may post photos of his success or his trip off the ice in handcuff's.


Laissez les bons temps rouler.

Laissez les bons temps rouler.

Let the good times roll!  Planing on doing a southern fish fry for New Years! Cheese grits, coleslaw and all!

If there is no hook then there is no violation.

We agree once again, wow.     In my mind, it is no different than attaching a dodger to your downrigger ball as an attractant and attaching your line with hooks above it. 

Ralph seems a bit dull, I think he needs a little flash tape on the sides.  Good luck.

Well "Ralph" and I took off this morning enjoying the fine eastern Washington roads. Sort of a giant slip and slide.

Made it to the lake and there was only one person setting in solitude. I wandered out to see how he was doing and he had just got there. I was checking around holes for the evidence of some fish caught.
Undaunted I went back and got my gear punched half a dozen holes the ice was a solid 5 1/2 to 6 clear hard water.
In 28 feet of water it was pretty empty with the Stevens County Fish finder. But I was unfazed.

"RALPH" your up!! Get your helmet and get in there. He started to do his magic dance and I could see fish coming off the bottom to check him out. Sweet! I threw almost everything I had in the bucket at them. They would come and look but fishing was slow at best. I did manage to shanghi one German Brown (Maybe 14) and had about half a dozen hits some of which just wouldn't stick.

When I left there was 2 fish tents set up and maybe 5 or 6 folks running and gunning.

Screen?  What!  Don't tell me you didn't try the Stevens County fish finder method for locating fish? 

[Ridgeratt]

Oops sorry corrected it!!!!

Ya that's what I meant!!

I don't think it was Ralph. It was a tough morning on Moses lake. Myself and the only other guys out there only got 2 each.  I drilled at least 10 holes. got a few
 more bites but nothing would commit

Be curious how the hard water fishing goes with buddy Ralf?

[Ridgeratt]

You would be amazed as to what we miss while ice fishing. The amount of fish that check out what your throwing at them.
I fished Waitts the last day of 13 and the first day of 14. When I was leaving on Tuesday a batch of younger diehards were dragging the Frabill fishing sleds out. I got back to the lake around 9 the next day. At the pit can there was evidence they had a good time 2 empty boxes of beer cans. But the car tracks on the ice were they where driving spinning Broadies.  No large holes in the ice so it's all good.

Bringing this back to the top for a reference when I may get in trouble soon.

Figure I will use Bigtex as a reference.
