http://chaotickeith.proboards41.com/index....read=1170602799 The barometer probably had more to do with the slow fishing than the location of the huts ...the link above is off another board that says they caught fish from Floyd Hales Huts on Friday ... I guess that's why we call it fishing ...don't give up. Suds

My Buddy and I ventured out yesterday on the ice with my portable to do a little fishing and check how the ice was out behind Georgina and Thorah ....Man was it windy ...we travelled out from Port Bolster and and moved over to the Pefferlaw post line ...it runs all the way out to the big lake on the east side of Georgina...and there is an area of about 1/2 mile of rough ice to navigate... past that there was very little snow and mainly real smooth black ice...we went to the backside of Georgina directly north of the police tower on the island about 1 1/2 miles ...a tipup town is just starting to develop out there with operators huts and a dozen or so private huts set up...drilled a few holes and found 12' of nice black ice ...fished for about an hour ...nothing ...there is lots of snowmobile/atv traffic out there with a real nice group of huts just off Woodsman's Shoal (behind Thorah)...went to shore to get the perm hut ready ...now all we need is the winds to let up for a couple of hours so we can plant it and play. Remember to check as you go if you leave the post line/tree lines .....play safe. Suds

Ya being local to the area helps alot too ...I spend alot of time at Bills shore shack during the season and drop in at Tims and Steve's every now and then to shoot the breeze ...the boys know the lake and it helps sometimes in locating fish for myself as well...they all work hard to provide the best service possible ...one just has to remember its fishing and not everyone has fish everytime but they do move the huts around to provide the customers the best opportunites.

Sorry guys but there is a little mistake here...Floyd Hales Huts in Beaverton is still owned and operated by Bill Vieveen.... Jason Hales Huts that ran out of I believe the Pines golf course just outside of Pefferlaw was bought out by Steve's Huts this year and is operating at Steve's usual location as per previous yrs. There is also another Hales ..Tim Hales huts and he is still up and running on the east side of the lake as well ... Either way you have the option of using these guys or any of the many operators on the lake .... Go get'em... Suds
