Well,I was able to hook up with our member this morning ,as he was fishing with an outfitter on the 2nd line. Met up with him and handed over a whole new batch of baits . Canada post, nor wind nor blowing wind and low vis,will stop the loony bin bugs and grubs guy ,from getting to those that want. Well, to a limit 😆. It was a nasty morning, but it was a day that was special, so I made the extra effort to make sure the day started off well . Must be the newfie in me byes.

the biggest issue with mandatory winter tires is that Canadian's by and large have no money any more thanks to the sky high cost of living in this province/country. There is an affordability crisis of everything right now, people don't have an extra $1200 lying around if they were forced upon drivers. I get the benefits, I get the fact that the summer ones will last twice as long etc. it's the mandatory up front cost that is the problem. People can barely afford to eat right now, let alone buy winter tires. and the carbon tax is going up again in April.. A fart could do a better job than Justine Dildeau.

Hi all, We got into the lakers today, so cool watching them under the ice as they come up. Got four for the morning, saw a bunch and had a couple get off. Got them on a tube jig, a blade bait, a rattle trap and a white paddle tail...they got the full smorgasbord treatment today.

I put my permanent hut out this year, out by big cedar. The one I built last year when we had no ice lol. Me and the boy were out Saturday, fishing was slow but we ended getting stuck with the ATV for about 20 mins trying to leave the hut, tons of just powder snow and just spinning. I was finally able to just go backwards for a while til I hit some better stuff lol. It's going to be brutal out there now with the additional foot of snow or so.

Some snowmobiles were out, there wasn't too much of a trail from the 7th line at that point yet, hopefully there will be, it will be interesting trying to get the hut off with a crapload of snow lol

It’s blowing snow today. Is there machines on simcoe that can pack a trail? It might be ok on Sunday. Deep snow. Slush fields. I’m staying on shore.

Good to see.. meanwhile idiots like me drive 19 hours for a shot at one.. https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6642147

Well.... go big or go home... I built a smoker capable of holding about 300lbs of meat. The last few weekends, my nephew and I got into processing our wild game as well as pork and beef. Over the 2 long weekends we did up 110lbs of summer sausage, 15lbs pepperoni, 5lbs fresh Chorizo, 12.5 lbs dried Chorizo (7 week wait), 50lbs Willie's pepperettes, 12.5lbs Maple Habinero pepperettes, 12.5lbs Teriyaki pepperettes, 25lbs Homey BBQ, 30lbs moose sausage in hot Italian, mild Italian, and a new one to us, Philly cheese steak (will do this one again). To top it off, about 50lbs of brats. After all the processing we had 9lbs of cubed bacon left over. It got a 7 day cure and double smoked.
