  1. Ok so you all may or may not be familiar with the number game, but basically you post a picture with a number in it in sequence. 1, 2, 3 etc... and so on. It can either be a picture with a number in the picture, a length of a fish, number of fish, weight of a fish on a scale, etc.... size of a motor, length of a boat, anything fishing related get ready to get creative with the higher numbers. If there is a double post or out of sync you the first wins and you need to edit it out. Self policing, keep it fun and good luck, lets see them fish pictures. I'll start with 1 crappie
  2. And here is my flavour.... cajun Salted Port... http://origin-www.dousaflavour.ca/en/flavour/93626/
  3. I would agree, however, I would also have agreed if they did suspend him. I think its pretty clear that there was some wort of bite, but I think that he was really left with no choice, with being choked out from behind with a forearm in his mouth while he was engaging another player. IMO Pax got what he deserved and I think he is a snivelling little weasle and he better be careful or someone is gonna run him out of the rink again.
  4. As some of you may recall there was a sale on some lowrance portable 5x DSI units during boxing week. I picked one up and I have been tinkering with it. I thought I would give a full review here since I have now spent 2 or 3 outings with it. The Rig The first thing is that to use it on the ice you need to make a bracket of some sort. I just took to sticks 1"x1"x16", and put a bolt with a washer in between them. This left me with an "L" shaped bracket that I can fold up for storage and it's adjustable so I can tweak the angle. I am going to switch the nut I have on the end for a wing nut and that will let me lock it into place a bit better. I also taped the transducer wire up the vertical shaft to keep it from flopping around. For Power, It came with an 8 D Cell battery pack(batteries not included). They lasted really well actually, with the 8 going down about .4 volts for a full day. Probaly would be good for 3 or 4 full days on the ice. I switched over to using a UPS AGM battery, a 12 volt 9ah battery. It started at 12.6 volts and at the end of about 7 hours fishing outside in -10 temps it was down to 12.4 volts. So lots of juice left. The Settings I turned the contrast right up to 100 percent (there is no sensitivity on this model as its sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the contrast). I played around with the brightness and light setting throughout the day according to angle and lighting conditions, but at no time in the day was I unable to clearly view everything from standing or sitting. I was fishing in about 25-30 fow and I just left the depth setting to auto. 800 mhz setting didn't produce anything, but the 455mhz setting worked great. I found using it on split screen was nice with one screen zoomed into 4x and the other zoomed out to full, but I always ended up back at one full screen with 2x zoom. You are able to zoom down to 4x and you can adjust the height of the zoom with the up and down arrows if you are fishing for suspended fish. I have owned and use many flashers, vex, Marcum, humminbird etc... I found this to be a very nice experience. I really enjoyed being able to visually see how many fish are looking, how they are reacting to each other both in real time and over history. Am I saying that this unit replaces a flasher...umm it’s going to make some flasher owners angry but yes. Over all for the price I paid for it and considering it will be used during the ice season and as a primary finder on my boat in the summer I am very satisfied with the purchase and I would recommend this to anyone on a budget looking to get a unit that will do the job in the summer and the winter. The Drawbacks Doesn't come with a rechargeable battery It doesn't work well in under 10 feet of water There is no option to buy a downward looking "Ice Ducer" for the DSI model. However I was fishing with a 6" hole and I didn't have any difficulties using it as is, but an ice ducer would be much more convenient.
  5. If you know where they are in the spring then just look on a map and find the closest deep hole and that's where they will egg up in the winter.
  6. They ended up losing the game in ot on that penalty kill. Clearly incidental contact with the hand. There has to be some level discretion with these hand on puck penalties.
  7. Here is the penalty... Oh yah this was in overtime... I would have been fuming. That is such a stupic call.
  8. Did you guys see the replay of the penalty in the Minnesota game in overtime? This hand on the puck business has officially gone too far.
  9. Lots have gone through this season already. Maybe not on the lake you are on play safe.
  10. Fairly easy to write something but it means you will need to track the previous draw results. Rand boater, rand non boater if pair was drawn prior redraw. However it may just be easier to do it by hand. How many teams are you talking about? Anything under 30 teams and I would say its gonna be easier to do it by hand.
  11. Teall yah what... If the Leafs meet the Sens or Habs this year in the playoffs, I'll arrange an all Leafs OFC fish fry... Just for scale on the picture... the top one is 14 inches with the busted up tail and 12.5 inch girth. BYOF
  12. Good to hear, but the slab fest was on and I didn't want to leave. 15 in total got iced... Nice to see the buds are gonna ice this one as well. Hey now this can be a fishing thread.
  13. haha,holy a guy goes fishing for one day andmisses half a game and look what happens. Go Leafs Go!!!!!
  14. 4 dead from a scoop. So pretty good. 3 good 12" eater size crappie and one slab monster... biggest ever... official pic later when I get home..
  15. so far so good... now did you say refrigerator or freezer? haha jk
  16. Well being in Toronto, I pushed 4 people that were stuck on my way to work and 3 on my way home... The best was a girl in a bmw with summer tires. I told her when she gets going don't let off the gas just keep it going and she can make it. Well I pushed and got her going and she was chugging up the hill. I got back in the jeep and passed her right as she got stuck again. I couldn't help but smile and wave as I drove by her. She was probably better off stuck in a snow bank anyway
  17. Ok cool thanks, I'll toss em in the beer fridge, if they are dead in the morning and I get skunked tomorrow its on you guys, rofl
  18. Since I rarely fish with minnows, I was wondering should I open the bag or leave it closed til I get to the lake tomorrow? I just bought them and the guy filled the bag with o2. Should I cut the bag open and put them in the bucket or leave the bag closed? Fishing with them tomorrow.
  19. seems strange to me, I mean I am sure these guys were up to no good and were likely fooling around on the ice. We have all seen it on the ice, but I dunno, something just feels weird about it. What if they were riding ATV's? or snowmobiles on the ice? Would it all of a sudden be ok to be bombing around on the lake? What if it was software season and in boats doing donuts or tail walks in a boat? Like I said, just seems weird to me.
  20. What is the speed limit on a lake?
