They're all blown man......stay home. Sinker

Yeah, it also helps when Ken takes you to the "good huts". I'm thinking exposure on the net gets you out there?? Let me explain.......I've been going out with, and recommending Hanks huts for years. I was out with him already once this season, the first day he had huts out. I got 2 lakers, and lost 2 other fish.... I booked a couple huts with him for last weekend for 8 guys. I made it clear, when I booked a week in advance, that I wanted the huts on the "5 mile grounds". No problem is what I was told. A buddy of mine was out with him the day before, and fished the huts you were in off georgina, and did well. My bud told me the huts were just put out there that day, or the day before. I was excited that my group was going to be in fresh huts, on fish. He also told me that Ken came by and chummed the huts while he was out fishing.......I thought that was great! Well, saturday morning comes around, all 8 of us are there early and ready to go. NO waiting for the regular guys......we were there with bells on ready to go. Well, apparently, our money wasn't good enough to get out to the "good huts", but his regular customers was. We got the shaft bigtime. To say I was ticked is an understatement. Instead, we got taken out to the 2 mile grounds ........as a matter of fact, it was the same damn hut I fished on the first trip out, on the exact same hole, a month earlier!! We put a camera down and the bottom was littered in garbage, and a couple empty cans. I knew right away we were going to get skunked........and we did. It wasn't a matter of not being able to catch fish, they just weren't there. We tried outside the huts as well, same results. At the end of the day, Ken had the nerve to tell me the guys in the far huts all caught fish. That was a kick in the nuts, and the last time I EVER use or recommend Hanks to anyone ever again. Screw him!!! I didn't call ahead and book a hut, just to be let down on the day of. If he had of told me ahead of time that he was committed to his regular customers, I'd have booked somewhere else, no problem. It burns my just thinking about it!! Sorry for hijacking your thread VG......I do feel better now! Sinker

You guys get some good sized whities out of that lake, that's for sure. I'm also curious to why it's your last trip?? Sinker

Beauties

Ok, that worked. Now, lets try in the relfect skin. S.

Have you ever even been icefishing?? Do you know anything about ice conditions? I notice your always piping up when ever there is an accident on the ice, but you never post a report? Maybe you should get out there once in a while, you might learn something? The ice was plenty safe when they went out. Stuff happens. Sinker

Our doctor told us that a little rough sex would get that baby headed out. Might want to try it Anything is worth a shot...... LOL Sinker

Hey, a day on the water is better than a day behind this puter! Better to go and get skunked anytime! Thanks for the high tech pics too! Sinker

Its a lifestyle for me. Sinker

You sure get lucky with the lakers.........I haven't caught one for a while now. Lots of whities though No whities for you guys?? Sinker

Check the yellow pages..........

Frozen, cold, wet. About 20" thick. Sinker

I hope you've found something to narrow it down to. There is just too many things!! Sinker

My boat was RAMMED into a shoal before I bought it. The ribs are bent, along with the hull. I didn't touch it at all, no leaks, no problems. I got the whole rig for a real good deal. I think if I tried to fix it I'd do more damage than it already had. Just my opinion. I've taken it to hell and back, and I don't baby it one bit. Its go or bust for me.......and she hasn't busted yet!! Sinker

What dannyboy said.

I'd just run it as it is. So what if it has a few dents......my boat has lots of dents. Sinker

Doncha just looove those specks!! Looks like a great time fella's....... Sinker

I feel fine and I'm off every wed/thurs

IMO a fish less report is just as valuable as a report of a haul fest. Sometimes you learn more about fish on the days they don't bite. I'm sure if you were skunked, someone would chime in and offer some advice/tips on what you were doing right or wrong. Try it, you may like it. I post a quick wtg type reply because I feel like I'd be ignoring some members that I know personally. Other times I just enjoyed the reading or pics. Sometimes I don't say anything. I like the how to posts the best, its amazing the things you learn from reading this site. You just never know what's going to come up, and no question is a stupid one. Sinker

Now thats the way to travel!!! Friggen awesome! Sinker

Ehg, if my 12 footer wasn't ripped off, I'd be out there with ya. I always enjoy your reports! Sinker

DROOL!!!!

Loads of ice!

How big is your boat? Where abouts on lake ontario are you wondering about? I fish lake O in a 16'er, but I pick my days. She can get nasty quick! Sinker
