Look out fish, my son just arrived and we are booked for Simco with Tim Hales tomorrow and I got my shipment today. Thanks Brian they are beautiful 🤣

Well, they did not disappoint, I won't say we hammered them, the bite was very light and slower than the last few times out. Many of the perch were 9 " or under but our numbers were pretty good. We caught 6 herring, only kept 4, and we only kept 20 perch. The clear winner was the bloodworm jig by a long shot. The other huts we talked to had very limited success today, nothing close to ours, one fellow offered to buy some jigs, I just gave him Brian's website and gifted him one of the bloodworm and one of the jigs. There seems to be a lot of slush out there, we saw many tracks where ATVs had plowed through, that's going to make it rough when it freezes. All in all a wonderful time (any time fishing with my son is wonderful 😊) Thanks again Brian for getting the order to me so quickly. It made a great day even better🙂

2 things 1. i owned one of those premiere ice rods and hooked into a big trout and the lack of butt end nearly broke my arm after fighting it through multiple runs. I said "never again" and literally bought a new laketrout ice rod on the drive home. 2. Trout are the worst for deciding to but their heads against the ice. Its almost like they know they can knock the lure out of their face. I keep my drag stupidly loose when i get them up top. The buggers can be a handful to land. Heck last weekend I had one roll itself up in my line to the point that I could no longer land it head up, so i tail grabbed the thing to bring it up backwards, once i got it up on the ice I began to try unwind the frigging knot it had tied itself into and sure enough the thing went nuts and somehow managed to find the hole and take off again before it was unhooked. I got two fights out of one fish 😄

That looks like the start of many yummy Perch dinners Cliff.

Have fun Cliff. Great work Brian.

Thanks again big guy. Have a day out there. 👍

Ouch!

Doooh! Cool!

Lucky guy. Good luck out there.

My second hali (in 2017) was a good one, a keeper JUST on the nose. One cm longer and it would have had to go back in the briny.

As I said, it's your choice, I don't need any more government regulations

Like I said, if you like them, fill your boots, but everyone has their own opinion

I don't need to have the government tell me what to do. I'm in my 60s and have never had winter tires and as long as my tires are in good shape with good tread I don't need winter tires. You want winter tires, that's fine with me, I've got no problem with that. I'm just tired of other people's opinions being thrust upon everyone just because they think they are right BTW, I drive over 30k a year, I used to drive 60 k a year. Never had an accident caused by snow or cold.

"I'm a firm believer in winter tires" I'm a firm believer that it's your decision and just because it's your decision doesn't mean it's a decision that everyone makes. I also think the government is involved in too much of our life. They can't even manage themselves.
