$100 for cats. (since we are clearly starting from 0 again) Hahahahahha.

How could we have gotten Tavares?

I could see Tavares as more likly to come here then Stamkos.

Don't know if I trust this guys ranking system. Maybe it's the devil you do vs the devil you don't but I would not have drafted Kadri above Duchanse or O'Reilly knowing why I know now. An Larsson and Hedman over Tavares? Not too sure about that one either.

Haha! He got you there Brian. :p

Fish online is a decent starting point but unless there is a stocking list you can't really be sure of what species are listed. Sadly, a lot of access to back lakes are trail and error.

Guys, the catfish trip is something everyone has to do at least once. Everyone I have brought just loved it, Pete knows his stuff 100% and reeling in a nice big 10+ pound channel cat is a great workout on the arms. Money goes to a good cause as well. Don't pass this one up!

Very nice. You only notice the cold when the fish aren't biting.

Famous last words. For those that have no patience (like myself) it's nice to see the new stuff. I'm actually jealous of my buddy that he already has some of the new live target stuff. There are deals but you have to find em. Best deals are the independant operators, Mike's handlebar lures are great as well as Meegz and the place that sells pepperettes. That's why I go. Anything else is a bonus.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I finally have a lucky ice fishing spot!

Not I. Waiting until it warms up a little tomorrow.

Long days at work, a winter too warm for safe ice, I have been saving a lieu day for about 2 months now when I finally decided that enough was enough and that I was going ice fishing. Thecday got off to a terrible start. Slept in, got stuck in traffic and couldn't find the parking lot. It was 8am before I even set foot on ice. It felt like it was going to be one of those days. Got about 100m off of shore and set up in about 8 FOW. Lots of action down below. A lil foxie with a minnow landed me a few perch. Nothing big. Looking on Navionics I found a spot about a kilometere away that looked perfect. All the fishing magazines always talk about this. A shoal that goes up to 3 FOW with a big drop off. I made my way over andcset up my set line for larger fish and kept jigging with my foxie for perch. I saw a school come in on my flasher and started enticing them. Feeling weight on the line I realized it wasn't a school of perch. I didn't realize at the time but it was about 19 inches. Sweet! Something strange happened this day, I did everything thecfishing mags tell me to do AND IT WORKED! I fished for about 3-4 hours, landed 3 walleye and lost about 5 more. What a great day. My highlight was this pig. Couldn't contain my excitement when it came out of the hole. I figure probably around 4lbs. Word to the wise, a lot of the ice I was on was 5-7 inches of good black ice but I still found a few spots of 2 inch white 'crust'. Lots of good fishing opportunities out there but play safe.

I don't usually do well ice fishing. I can use all the help I can get.

This is really great info everyone. Thanks! This saves me about 2 hours tomorrow.

Finally got a day off work to go ice fishing. I figure with TRU being 5 minutes away from my office it makes sense to pick up minnows today and just head straight out tomorrow. My big thing is, will shiners survive 24 hours in just a bag of water? If no, is there anything I can do to keep them alive longer? It would save me a lot of time tomorrow.

I'd rather they just trade Kadri away. Rebuild the entire culture not just the expensive pieces. Ship him to a team that will put up with his crap.

Now that Phaneuf is gone from the leafs, who are you guys going to promote as your whipping boy now?

Back in May I had a ticket for distracted driving (was turning my GPS off at a light because I missed a turn and the thing wouldn't shut up) I politely told the officer what happened but they gave me a ticket. I filled the paperwork for a court date and found out the police officer never filed their paperwork on the ticket so I got off. (I was lucky). Moral of the story: you never know until you try. Just don't be a dick about it and good things might happen.

Chad, if I get one of those birds with the liquid in them that continually takes a drink, can I put that over the hole and jig an extra line with that?

Wow. Some great fishing. You can totally lip your walleye. I'll show you when we hang out. (bring band-aids)

Nice! Looks like a great day was had. Awesome report.

If you don't mind the long trip, a co-worker of mine went to Lake Superior Provencal park last year and said he boated about 30 walleye in half an hour.
