I suck, hooked into a fish I just couldn't bring in, kept the line at breaking point and she still kept pulling line until time finally ran out

no snow in barrie, no coat needed today, my house is not in danger of being flooded by rising oceans...pretty hard for me to knock the greenhouse effect

I heard that too about getting the extra 50 feet of cable...I didn't bother. Guess it depends what you're fishing for, but the deepest water I've fished is 35 feet so I've never had a problem. If you're in search of lakers etc then yes, get the extra cable

wow, prices just keep falling on those things. I paid about 270 only a year and a half ago. I'm very pleased with the unit. In stained water I wouldn't expect a miracle from any camera no matter how expensive. For $150 its a great toy, love it for ice fishing

either your son is 3 apples tall or those buoys are friggin huge! Thanks for the report, a great way to spend the day.

a couple weeks from now we'll all be freezing our scones off, we'll forget all about this warm spell.

what a fish! I like how they refer to the guy as a "conservationist" in the video as he swims around with a spear gun...guess their definition is a little different than mine.

shows what I know. I stopped watching at 5-1, sounds like it stayed pretty crazy

it was a good season for me until late fall on the upper where I proceeded to get skunked 3 trips in a row

crazy start, no way it will continue...final score prediction 5-3

We still have 6 inches in my yard in barrie, I would think an hour or two north of here should have plenty. Failing that go to London, they must have some left

1976 12' Crestliner called the SS Platypus with a 1967 6hp Evinrude. My grandfather gave it to me when I was a teen back in the 80's and he got too old to fish.

all I want for christmas is computer skills to mess with stuff like that. I'm envious

if Adam only packs pork and beans and then tells you not to worry about the temps you better run for your life

black ice is bad for driving. Good hard stuff for fishing in my opinion. I love it when I can see down through the ice. When you're bringing in fish they look huge!

because I am incredibly lazy, I just run set lines. Most often hook through the back. I'll have the hook just barely under the baits surface, easy to rip out on hookset. With bigger baits (ie 8-10 inch suckers) I'll go one through the mouth and then a stinger treble hook on a 6 inch leader further down the body.

fantastic news...I'm so proud (sniff, sniff)

better not get into the crystal ball business, that game sucked

idiots. Hopefully you've got the means to treat yourself this christmas. I've had my eyes on the jonboats at BPS. A 12 footer is around $700 I think

why not, I need a new avatar photo, taken last time I made it out to simcoe for a meet and greet (about 4 years ago)

no doubt, used to go out and swim for a half hour straight out in the lake, then 45 minutes back in!

that would be a great way to stay at Lakair, even has plenty of room for Roy to fall asleep on the deck

this is as bad as it got up here a few days ago. Next time I'm grumbling and shoveling I'm gonna click on this thread and look at those pictures again. Puts everything in to perspective

thanks for the update. Won't be long now on some of the smaller lakes a bit north of here.

wow what a great problem to have! You've caught a ton of muskies since that one was taken I'm sure, not surprising you can't recall the details of each.
