Sinker

I run shell V-power in everything from auger to chainsaws and my car. Never a single issue, and I don't use stabilizer unless its sitting for months with no use. A simple 2 stroke gas auger will last a life time with little to no maintenance. I always store my gear full of gas, never empty. S.

I'd say the bog is froze right across now. If its not, it will be tonight. Pigeon has a good bit of ice on it, as well as sturgeon.....not safe for fishing of course, so don't get any bright ideas!!!! S.

Sorry for your loss Bruce. I know the feeling. It is surely the hardest thing a person has to do. i just read your other post on what happened, and I'm still shocked. I'm not sure what the fate of that shepherd would have been if it was me on the end of peanuts leash. I don't trust shepherds. The only dog I never trust. I'd rather be greeted by a pitbull any day. Crazy story. I really feel bad for you. S.

Around here its called the Ecoboom!

Good decision!! S.

All the small ponds are frozen over, and some of the bays on the lakes have some ice. The smaller lakes might have ice by xmas, but all the boat launches were still open today around there. S.

He will live on in your thoughts forever, Lew. Great tribute. S.

My boat is also hooked up and ready to go for the morning. A different kind of hunting though, no fish involved Good luck on a December musky! S.

Well, I'll be floating in my boat for a while yet. No complaints here!! S.

Well, our hut is bigger, and lighter, and its lasted 15 yrs so far, so I must be doing something right!! Never had any issues whatsoever with moving it. What are you going to do when the snow is too deep to drive to it?? Have fun with that!! It will happen, trust me. I've been there, done that, and it sucks with a tank of a hut. I'm not bashing you, or cutting down your job, I'm simply trying to offer advice from my own BAD experiences. I've had a hut on scugog for over 20 yrs, I've seen all kinds of crazy stuff out there! The offer still stands if you need a hand!! S.

Brownie!!

Your HB will show you the EXACT same thing a flasher will! S.

Bottom line is its gonna be heavy! I'm guessing at least 1000lbs. If you need a hand moving it around, let me know. Do you have a sleigh for it? I don't see any type of ski's built into the floor? You just going to trailer it around? S.

Think LIGHT!! Trust me!!! What are you moving it with?? Build a sturdy floor, and keep all the rest as light as possible. 2x2 framing with metal exterior is best in my experience, then insulate with 2" closed cell foam, or spray foam. Do you have a sleigh to move that thing on? Its hilarious at the end of ice season on scugog watching guys trying to get thier huts off. I pull up to mine, back the trailer up to it, hook it to the winch on the trailer, push a little button, and away it goes. Throw a strap front and back and away I go. One man show, with an 8x10 ice hut in tow. No need to call in all my buddies for help, no need to worry about it being frozen in.....takes me about 10 mins to put it on the trailer MYSELF! I can also push it with one hand myself if I want to just move it a little closer to the hot hole It doesn't need to be sturdy, it needs to be light, and easy to move around!!! Ask me how I know.....I've had several heavy huts, and I learned my lessons the hard way!!! S.

Have you tried not using the handwarmers lol Just sayin........ S.

Yep, like Randy, I'm lost without a knife on me somewhere. I must pull it out at least a dozen times a day. It sure is handy!! S.

As long as its in plain view you can wear it anywhere you want. No worries. S.

Wool.....works every time. I have thin wool gloves, and even on the coldest days, that's all I wear. If anything....... S.

You gotta start making them out of hardwood if your going to be throwing them around like that!! I make all mine out of hardwood. Usually cherry...only because I have it around. They don't break!! S.

I'm another graph guy. No need for a flasher. My graph marks the same fish as any flasher does, and I get to use it all season long. S.

Silly question! Lowrance or nuthin!! S.

Hey Beans, he's just east of Emms, on the south side. Can't miss the big sign that says "the shop". I've already booked my next appt Tires are great Ernie! S.

I stopped in on thursday for some new tires! Great job, great tires and great to shoot the bull while I was there!! S.

What are you doing to get line twist? I dunno, I've drilled a few holes in my time, and never had any problems with line twisting?? I think I'd rather have the high speed retrieve and smooth drag of a quality spinning reel myself. S.

See ya thursday, Ernie! S.
