Man that looked freezing, but at least no wind. Loved the look at the start, the mist just looks cool. Always better to be safe than sorry and some nice catches to finish off your open water season.
That’s awesome you are still able to get the yak out Sean!! Great safety tips! 3 1/2 hours to get that 1st fish😳 way to stick it out. Nice one then u thought too. I went out on river myself yesterday and got the skunk. What made it worse was 35mph wind gust ☹️ Great to see you get on two more at the end of your day. Good stuff brother 👊
Well done! Glad you got out - I'm sure this blast of winter will shut things down and expedite the ice. We got a ton of cold and snow here in the Edmonton area over the last few days. 3 fish was a great session! Congrats on a great season in the yak!
Gotta love it when you can still get the yak out this late in the year! Even with the slow day on the water you still managed to land some nice ones. Great weather to do it. Looks like ice is right around the corner.
Nice late year fishing. Missed the whole fall season at twin valley. Water to high to fish from shore.. got some real tanks at clear lake this fall though. Can't wait for ice fishing
Good saftey points. I have been criticized myself for going out on Lake Superior in the Kayak without a dry suit. My points are pretty much same as yours. I watch the hourly forecast and will go based on last minute decision. I've been using a canoe/kayak for 30 years and never flipped, also my kayak is crazy stable. I try to stay within a couple hundred meters from shore. Good video, you got a nice one. I had to go on facebook and go way back in history to find my latest open water fish. I caught one from shore December 1, 2016! 26.5" pike
Your precautions are pretty good but I would suggest having something to start an emergency shore fire, dry clothes are good but if you hit that water you got 3 minutes to get out, get dry and get a fire going. You WILL need some kind of heat source to warm up even with dry clothes on. you will be shivering badly,your hands will be numb and it will be difficult to think. I suggest a butane lighter or preferably a torch with a couple rolls of hexamine tablets in a ziplock or water proof bag. a lighter that is easy to use and reliable is ideal as your hands will be totally numb from the water Every survival course I've taken makes an emphasis on immediately starting a fire, stripping of the wet clothes and getting warm once out of the water. of course a dry suit would be ideal or one of the newer water proof floating ski doo suits nice fish for so late in the year
Great fishing for this late in the year. 53* here this Wednesday and I'm hitting the river again!!
Jealous, although I will be back in Arizona soon so I can look forward to some warm weather fishing again!
Nice job getting at least one last session in before things ice over!
Thanks, appreciate it
Awesome video!! Nice pike!! Great conversation about safety!!
Thanks very much!

Thanks Larry, it was a great end to the season for sure
Glad you still can get out. Three fish to top off the open water season.
Thanks, on the ice very soon
What a beautiful scenery!! I can’t do the cold though 😭😭😭
Lol, some day I am going to get you on the ice bud. Maybe we can celebrate that way when you get your silver play button, lol!

Thanks Chris, really appreciate it - ice season very soon

Thanks for the comment
Great Job enjoying every last open water in AB, there is Open water year round in BC, Kootenay lake and Upper Arrow lake are two examples.
Nice, I didn't know that

Thanks Dan, the ice is almost ready here - looking forward to getting on it soon
Awesome video glad to see you still have water 🤙
Thanks, now on the ice season!
Can’t believe how nice of a day you had out there. Crazy! In mid November! Nice keeper pike! Those will cook up beautifully!
Thanks - over now. Should be on the ice very soon! The tent will be ready for your return!
Great video Sean
Thanks Ted

Thanks, and yes the ice is here now - should be out soon
It was a great fall. I packed the boats up in late October. You're a trooper.
Lol, thanks - now on to the ice!
Awesome! Now on to ice fishing 🤙😎
You bet!
get the auger ready
You bet, very soon!
Nice late year fishing. Missed the whole fall season at twin valley. Water to high to fish from shore.. got some real tanks at clear lake this fall though. Can't wait for ice fishing
Glad to hear - I actually considered going to Clear instead. Now on to the ice season!
That turned out to better than those first few hours indicated, that's why in fishing, you have to put in the time.
For sure, thanks Russel
Not bad for a slow day! Some very nice Northern's... looking forward to seeing you on the ice!
Thanks, should be very soon!
Welcome back Sean...hope you had a good trip! Nice to see you making the most of the open water season :)
Thanks so much, appreciate it
loved it, glad you got some fish and a eater.
another great video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Exciting times my friend. Great video. Checking out the Amazon link too.
Thanks so much, appreciate it

Slower day but beauty fishes!
That is pretty late in the year, I could likely match that if I went for trout on the Bow, but that is about it
Out way later then me! Lol, I was so cold my last trip about a month ISH ago.... Nice job!
Thanks, and the ice is almost ready!
Awesome video my friend! Stay safe!!
Thanks, you too!
Hardcore! Amazing what a difference a week makes. I'm planning to go ice fishing tomorrow 😂 Typical Alberta weather
Did you go, it was a bit too early for me - hopefully this week.
@AnglingSpiders nope. That snowfall put a damper on the ice formation. This weekend for sure though 👍
Great eaters pike!!! Nice job!!! Check out the Donkey leash for a stringer, it’s a nice stringer!
Thanks for the tip

nice fish for so late in the year
Thanks, great suggestion. I actually now have one of the floating ice fishing suits so I am set going forward!
