hey Emil That first Pic is fantastic!!! I see you are still usng that Marcum!!LOL How old is it? 6-7 years It sure has been a good machine!! See ya on the 'Hard Stuff' Rick

SD 9" of ice at Gilford yesterday. Light snow cover. If we get some rain it will take the snow away. But a little rain won't kill 9" of Ice!! Rick

That's a litle Frosty!! Rick

Yes Things are looking good for 'Oro to Georgina' In most areas there is enough Ice to withstand some wind!! Not the 70 Km stuff from last Sun but some. Rick

Hi Joey By next weekend we should be on the Big Lake! Whities and Lakers

Oggie The kids musta had "Fun" The 9"-11" are good eating size. Mike I had the Hut and some Heat Too old for the Bucket thing in -18'C LOL Rick

Out yesterday AM at Gilford -18'C when I left Home and -16'C when I got back It was cold all day. The ice was moaning and growing My camera did not like the cold either so I have a Pic of the first hole I cut and thats it! About 7" of good clear Ice There were not many Pic worthy Fiish anyway I fished 4 spots and all holes I drilled were about the same ice. LOTS of Fish, Would of been a great day for my Grandson, You could hardly get the Jig to the bottom without having a fish on!! but I had a hard time finding any over 10" and most in the 7-8" area. I did get enough decent size ones for a meal The travel was very good a little broke up at the shore but once you get on smooth running a bit of drifted snow but not much, With the past warm temps and now the cold all the broken ice from the air boats is pretty well smoothed out The Slab Grabber and the Forage minnow did most of the catching But it was one of those days that just about anything worked. Terry Goy, and Ice Cabins have huts out See Ya on the 'Hard Stuff' Rick

Good on Ya Some big smiles there!! Rick

Hey Brian Its time for some real fishing!! I have had enough of the Perch for now!!

The typical Simcoe Perch areas Pefferlaw,Port Bolster,Virginia Beach and Gilford are good to go! Rick

I think I got it LOL

Since Gilford is not quite ready! I decided to make another trip East to Port Bolster. It was -15'C when I arrived at Casey's, Clear skies and zero wind The access to the Lake was good a little rough but no slush or water. The area that was broken/busted up ice has been smoothed out with the warm temps and rain. I drilled holes in 3 spots and all were 6-7" The water today was not very clear and you could only see down about 8' So I ended up catching a lot of dinks but there were plenty of quality fish mixed in. The Pan Slammer on a drop shot, the Slab Grabber, and the Buckshot Forage Minnow put the bigger fish on the Ice. I am trying to figure out how to load some pics. I see in PB my pics are 4000w X 3000H What size should I make them to upload? Until then!! Have Fun See Ya on the Hard Stuff Rick

Sweeeeet!!! A fantastic outing for sure!! Good on yas Rick

Very Nice Fellas We are going to be Perching on Simcoe for a while yet!!! Rick

That Sled is a "Beaut" Sweet Ride Rick

13.5L per 100km is about 21MPG Rick
