Good job Justin. Probably best to get them pulled with the cold temperatures coming this week.

Got the partners out again not many traps set. But enough to keep the young ones interested. Only picked up four but the niece got her first official 'rat in her set with her trap on her new license. She took the class in October.





Had a blast this weekend those boys sure say some funny stuff when they think us dads can't hear them

49 today 2 days left pulling tuesday freezing that night by the looks of it oh well no 2000 this year! haha

Have faith CA. There’s almost always a January/February thaw. You’re getting close.

Refuge opened Dec 1

43 more and the trap come out tomorrow cant wait all day pulling only 400 to get out of there haha thanks for tagging along casey it was fun!

Nice work CA! It's been a grind for me given the weather this season...looks like we'll finally get some decent walking ice soon. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

yeah this weather has been quite the pain in the but for sure oh well guess thats how it goes always next year i guess

Silly crazy warm today (currently 63) and windy but darn good time.

yeah my phone says its 60 some right now haha wow what a crazy state a real Chinook this is gonna be

Some refer to the federal end of horicon as the "refuge"

CA; Thanks for taking use on your seasons adventure. Be safe while pulling the line in these high winds. You certainly put in some effort.

Caught 26 rats today and they brought me a total of $260.00 and I haven't even skinned them yet. LOL
And I haven't even added In the $100.00 set up fee. Man I love this rat trapping. LOL

well 28 today marks the end of my open water rat trapping got 1704 in all the pulling today was even worse than you can imagine haha

beav you need to charge a wind fee for today to dont forget that!!

nimzy yeah i figured that what you were talking about just never knew it had such wide open water like that!!

handitrapper it was bad haha real bad never sank thankfully but came darn close!!

All nice catches and pictures.

CA it had to be just brutal out there today pulling in that wind!! Thank you for sharing your marsh line with us. Were you running all 400 every day or did you have multiple loops on the marsh?

Bryce

i was running all 400 every day bryce so i defiantly should have been well over 2000 haha oh well still learning im no master just keep on trying only way i can learn yeah that darn wind was unreal very nearly swamped the front of the boat with the big loads i was carrying

Cable, great job and thanks for sharing! Alot of work into a catch like that. Just curious how far the marsh is from your house and the amount of gas for the boat daily.

marsh is about 45 minutes away at 30 mpg very little gas is used and then i have a buddy that lives about 2 miles from the marsh and i store my boat there so i pick it up in the morning and the boat will use about a little over a full tank so maybe about a gallon and a half not sure what the tank is haha 7hp Subaru robin
