Wow nice vid!

Oh man I look so tired in this one. thanks for putting this together mike!

We were pretty tired by the time we walked back to the car with all the snow/slush, after a full day of fishing. I was devastated lol, drilled alot of holes and covered alot of grounds trying to find some active fish, and skunking. Couldn't have passed up the chance to redeem myself when we heard that the ling turn on at night haha. That was my biggest ever fish on ice though so i was happy. Now I just need to catch my first ever laker soon.

great work man. is that really alot better than the BPS ones you had on b4? ... now... can i have your BPS ones LOL!

Good luck with the job search kemper, cant really help ya with finding one though. The job market does seem better now than when I was doing co-op (the last 2-3 years). You should totally look into tackle companies lol, that'd be awesome if you can work for one.

Nice work man. I think it's about time to put the ice gear aside for a weekend and cure my pin-itch as well.

I've never tried for them in the winter time but i doubt that maggots will stay on the hook long enough till a carp come by. It'll turn into a perch fest lol.

Great read, now we just need some warmer temps lol. Can't say that it works though, I've gone as far as eating a minnow (shh haha) and I still can't catch fish.

Virtual fishing to get reel in Japan I wonder if they'll start coming out with different rods/combos

a couple of us were out today as well. it was COLD. we fished shallower and only got into some perch. It was tough. Good on ya for braving the elements and you sure were rewarded be sure to bring the water next time though, being a few clicks away from shore, exhausted + dehydrated's not really a good thing

Those pics are making me real hungry. Like others said, great job with landing that nice fish with 4lb test.

Nice work Jamie. St.Larry is definitely on my to-fish list.

more bearings doesn't = better I bought a 1000 sized sedona and i'm loving it so far. It's around 60ish.

Hummingbird 345c Woodsman, it should be a dual beam model.

I got the 587, No it doesn't, mine is far more superior haha. You're also welcome to try mine if you happen to pass by where I live/work.

Go fishing with either Mike or Ant. While they drill holes, unplug theirs and plug into yours. Problem solved!!

As always, amazing pics. Especially like the action shot with the rod bend.

i have yet to hook into any jumbos this season, hopefully i'll get some soon nice work

Hope you get well soon. At least there's no open water now and by the time all this white stuff's gone you'd be back in business!

Happy bday Big Cliff! Have a great one!

Why, why do you have to do this to me lol. My credit card is still recovering from all the gear I bought over the holidays I don't own one so i just HAVE TO.

This is a great post! Good job 'Dude' haha. I used to keep one as well, just a very simple excel spreadsheet. After each trip I'd type in a few words: where, when, who, what, etc. for a period of time I was going out quite alot so I stopped doing the journal (it's like coming home at night and then get ready for next morning). This certainly made me want to start again!

Definitely missed you around. Thought you disappeared. Love the pics!

It really varies depending what car you got. I checked 2-3 years ago (i was 20 back then), to put me as the primary driver of my family car, a 2001 nissan sentra, was $4000+ a year. It's ridiculous. I've had a license since i was 16 and my whole family including myself has a clean record. Mind you the company was more catered for people in their 50s+ (like my parents) I've actually been looking to get a car myself as well. I heard that TD has pretty good rates but their services aren't the greatest. Maybe you can look into buying an older car and only get the "3rd party insurance" or something like that.

Condolences Rick. It must be a tough time, stay strong.
