Kinda nice with that strong wind that was blowing all night, it kept my place nearly snow free. There was no snow at all on my truck and the driveway was almost as clean. I went out an hour ago and it took me 5 minutes to get things cleaned up. Think I'll sit back now with another coffee, and watch all the traffic jams on the morning news

I saw that on the TV awhile ago xrap, you guys are getting clobbered. Nothing in Toronto yet but it sounds like it's on the way. Guess we can't complain too much though, the news said Toronto has received the least amount of snow this year ever.

Cliff, getting that phone call is an experience I wouldn't wish on any parent.

I agree with you on Bonnechere PP Dave, it's the only provincial park I've ever stayed in but it was excellent. We were there in September a few years back and the place was nearly deserted. Fairly isolated from any large populations and we practically had the place to ourselves and the scenery is as good as you'll find anywhere.

HH, my daughter was heading up the 115 late at night a few years back and caught her right front tire on the soft shoulder. It spun her car sideways, threw her across the road where she hit the center retaining wall head-on, then she got broadsided by a truck that was coming up behind her in the left lane. All this while she was doing 60 MPH The whole thing probably only took about 3 seconds and her car was comletely destroyed and it took the fire department 30 minutes to cut her free. Fortunately, the injuries weren't too severe due to the excellent design of the seatbelt and air bags, but it just shows how fast something terrible can happen. I pass by the spot several times each week between May & November and still shudder every time I think about what could have happened.

Well done CC, good see you braving the elements, it's tough casting with frozen fingers !!

Yup, that too Sheldon, infact over the years I've found my best bait for night time trolling on Quinte to be a Bomber Long "A", blue back with orange belly

I'd definetely say someone was looking over your shoulder HH with it breaking like that, and not at hiway speeds with your family in the car. Sometimes a bad thing turns out to be a blessing in disguise.

It's pretty good for Quinte pickeral in May too !!

I was being sarcastic Cliff

Maybe fasten a couple very sharp fish hooks to the back side of the door handles on your fish huts. Bet the punks won't try to break in a 2nd time.

WTG Joey, your definetely on a roll this year, hope your buying lottery tickets too

They'd probably be instand friends John, Marvin's never met another dog he didn't like.

WTG John, good lookin pooch too

We've had it good here in Toronto this winter as far as snowfall goes, I think the weather channel said we've had a grand total of 9 cm, while everyone around here has gotten clobbered. Kinda nice too, there's just too much traffic around here and it only takes a few inches to shut this town down. We've dodged a few storms, hopefully we'll duck this one too. The radio says we're only looking at about 10 cm for the Smoke....hopefully

Very nice indeed Jim, looks like you were paying attention in class

1 o'clock on Thursday for me too.

Thanks for that 007, that was an excellent read and it sounds like you truly enjoyed your 1st experience on the ice !! A few nice perch just made it all that much better

Good to hear everything turned out as well as you'd hoped Gerritt, and it's always nice when you can meet up with a couple new OFNer's for a day of fish'n.

Thanks Mike, sounds like you had a great day. Luv the part about your son catching all the fish while your still setting up Great idea taking the Coleman on the ice with you too, lots better than cold food !!

BARE, I'll be heading to the show on Thursday and will be there for the 1:00 opener

Good to have you home Wayne, sounds like an excellent trip , inspite of the frigid temps. Purty country up that way too !!

Except for a few minnows we used on the Lower Niagara last winter and a couple ice fishing trips, I haven't used live bait in probably 40 years and I usually do pretty good.

Hey Roger, good hearing from you Pal !! I figured you'd be posting your famous musky "SMILE" picture

Sorry Rick, HONEST !!!! I didn't mean to nuke it
