Back in the 80's a co worker turned his full size van into an ice fishing machine. Holes in the floor and chains on the tires. Nice and warm and I didn't have to go out side. Pretty simple. And he could drive it to Florida.

Looks great Mr. B!!

Thanks Shane Going to giver a try on the weekend .

Bass clubs do habitat rehab , put 100s fof trees down to support fish ,every bass masters club is too organize lake clean ups I spent a lot of days removing tires and shopping carts and much more as directed by the tournament clubs they always give large numbers of rods reels and tackle to kids and charities. And have kid days out on the lakes and we have had disabled days on the water where we found ways to get them out to fish a

They mimic a blood worm. Simcoe fish are more into gobies, but they do feed on blood worms too. They would probably work good on perch too. S.

Ducks unlimited maintains and creates habitat, so no, its not the same logic at all. They don't even support hunters any more, its all about habitat. Bass tourneys do not benefit the fishery at all. Its all a cash grab. Glitter boats tearing up the lakes, and killing a lot of fish. Sure, bring a few hundred people into any community it will generate revenue, but wheres the real benefit?? I value the actual fish, more than a few bucks in a small town. Without the fish, we are screwed. These guys should be doing more work to improve the fishing, not make it worse. Legal, yes. Ethical....I dont think so, personally. S.

Hi all, Got to mix my two of my favourite things last weekend, family time and fishing time. Went out at stoopid O'clock solo and got a few fish then returned home. My son asked where I had been while he was bowling in the morning and when I told him he looked disappointed, I said we could go back after lunch....BIG SMILE. We took the fire pit and fished/messed around until dusk before coming home. Fishing was exactly that in the afternoon, I fished but caught nothing. Anyhoo, fun times for all in beautiful NW Ontario.

Thanks, headed back there with my son today, windy out there but warmer.

Liked the show, really don't understand why the US team decided to chase a bluegill around for two episodes. I'm sure they're both great fisherman, but that was such a weak showing. Also, I don't agree at all with the Konrad boys pike that was weighed in. Ganked right in the side, I don't careif the fish swiped at it or not, hooks gotta be on the head somewhere, lol. Also another pet peeve, show was based out of Canada, 3 out of 4 teams were Canadian, finale was in Winnipeg and all the merchandise sold is in US funds on the website. I was going to buy a t-shirt and a hat but that came to $31 or so with $21 US shipping. Nope! Ridiculous.

I recall Pointe Au Baril in the 60's and 70's, every camp we stayed at there seemed to designate one evening for a " fish fry " a non participant myself, but due to the lack of walleye at that time smallmouth bass and panfish filled the menu. Things like that certainly didn't benefit the fishery?

Tournaments were the catalyst for modern fishing boats, motors, electronics ,tackle , rods and reels and made a lot of people better fishermen and maybe even the odd fisherwoman

Actually ALL tournaments should be outlawed as they are nothing more then another form of commercial fishing.
