LMAO ... The worm binder is for plastics , not real dewy's

Nice freshy.... LMAO edit that before this post get's out of hand.....

insert flipping smiley here .... word got around fast

Someone recommended this to me last year.... It's must work perfect , but for $90 hmmm ..... When you can make it work with some scraps found laying in the garage ...I wuold rather put the $90 towards a better unit as the cuda is as low end as it gets..

sweet fish bud !! ... You must of froze your off !! I stayed in bed Saturday, it was a tough morning but I got into a few, LOL !!!

Sure, then I'll go hardcore and jam my finger in one of the little holes to fight my fish Or I could do like Chuck Norris taught me one time at Oshawa, and just stare down the steel until it beaches itself out of fear !!!

when's Paulus gonna chime in ??? PM him, he did the same thing to his raven not to long ago ... FYI your subject name got me excited.... "wad I miss, wad I miss" , LOL !!! The seasons slowing down

Pretty much the same setup as what I have put together....I just mounted the transducer to a 30" piece of angle iron and mounted a 12" square piece of plywood to the top of it which a pack with snow on the side of the hole.. I found the angle iron worked well, because I could move the transducer down a few holes as the ice got thicker throughout the season...If the transducer is to far past the bottom of the ice , I found the current was causing it to sway to much and screwing up the reading... Wait till you throw down your first hand full of salties.. watching them sink , you will never believe how long they take to get down to 80ft of water Its pretty piss poor but you get the idea

used mine all last season on the ice...works mint...You have to McGyver a bracket to keep the transduser planted or else you will never get a good reading ... The cold didn't affect it, but yes as stated above, " you can't be next to another finder within 10ft

BillM's new avatar pic... Maybe the nightmares will stop now Good to here you boy's got into some. I just didn't have it in me for this weekend

Thanks, for the incredible day man....Spending probably 7-8 hours on the road just shoot'n the breeze and listening to all those jaw dropping stories was worth the trip alone .... Dude, you've got more stories than Robert Munch, LOL .... I'm still trying to process all the info you threw at me that day. I can't get over how much ground we covered, and how many rivers we stopped at !! You bring a whole new meaning to the word "determination" my friend. Mike your as top notch as they come, and to say the least a true "steelheading icon" in my books, as well as a stellar host I might add .... Thanks again for the awesome experience. I agree with you, that we have to make a 2 day trip out of that kind of expedition next time around. That first river is etched in my head... I can't get over the tactics the locals are into on that trib. Just blows my mind. Can't wait to give it a wirl on my local haunts ...I can already see the looks from the regulars Here's the one pic I found on my camera.... I had that stupid smile on my face all day long

In March I can some what deal with the -5 to -8 range, cause I know they are coming in regardless of the temps .....but in December hmmmmm .... Im gonna for a change tomorrow and hope for a warmer Sunday afternoon

Talked to some guys , who were out east this morning... Its stupid cold out there today...Bring out the tire for tomorrow !!!

The brownie on the second drift fell to the "smack talk curse" . He couldn't resist rubbing up against the pinky

The only way i'm getting out there this weekend is with a tire tied to some yellow rope..... I have had it with stealing logs from beaver dams

I put that one in the report ...lay off the shwa LOL ....or bring me some of that stuff next weekend

Went up to fish some huron tribs Saturday with a buddy I haven't seen in years... Did a lot of catching up talking about old times.... Hit the snow covered river banks for first light... Not to much action as the water was gin and fish were skitish... It had been a long time since I had been up that way in the late fall. Air was crisp, rivers clean, and the landscape was breath taking....The scenery alone is worth the drive.We managed a couple fish , but it was a slow day... I had to stand back for this pick as the background was simply amazing A little guy I picked up just before dusk ... Made my day as I hadn't had a hit all day long. On the way home I called my buddy Kemper to see how he did out east ..... He said the water was on and he had found some fish, So we made plans for Sunday out east.... Kemper , Silvio , BBNotty, and I hit the trib for first light. Brady schooled us hard as he showed us the pool and totally called the fish on his first drift right before it sucked his float down ... Dude that was crazy !!! Great way to break the ice, at first light !!! After that we walked down stream trying several holes , but not much action going on...Kemper and I arrived at a certain hole that we both hate fishing, as it rarely produces, but sure enough just as we were talking smack about the pool, I get a perfect drift along the undercut and WAM my float goes down...a good size chrome bow just starts thrashing left and right, and were laughing our heads of in dis-believe that the fish hit as we were just talking smack about the pool,, LOL !!! .... Not long after she spit the hook and it was gone. We gave it another 15mins and walked up stream to the our favorite pool... First drift Kemper smacks this nice freshy Than that was it ... by about 10:30 we decided to hit the next trib.. Showed up to the pool with 3 guys fishing it already Even with the pressure the fish got all morning they didn't hesitate to hit the bait of choice .... Before I could even get my rig set up Berge hits the first fish half an hour later I picked up this guy We fished for a while longer , but had to leave by noon so we packed up.... Awesome weekend with good friends... Thanks guys

Indeed they do my friend, indeed they do

Berg, your a machine !!!! Nice fish, L M A O when I heard what you got it on !!!...You didn't miss much up north...Must have walked 10km today, and fished dawn till dusk, only producing 2 fish ... There wasn't a CN rail within 2 hours , so atleast the scenery was nice

Sweet steel bud !!!... Made up for the ice fishing last weekend , LOL !!! Water looks mint ...

awesome pics and report Mike ... Looking at the first picture, I don't think I could fish there..more like just stare at those huge falls with a chub , LOL !! so amazing !!!!... No idea you could fish that stretch of the _ _ _ _ _ _..... the ditches are killing me, I need to get out west more

Nice Bow Sil. Must feel awesome on something you tied yourself..You killed me today when you said you were going out !!... I can't work under these conditions

Nice fish.... I have the same Stanton... It's a beast, but it does a number on your wrist after a long day of fishing !!!

after seeing this one I got my azz of the couch and made my way down there, LOL !! Awesome year Dude. More than once, your posts gave me motivation to get off my azz and get out to hit the tribs this past spring ... If your in town on weekends, were gonna top your spring 08, before the end of Feb
