Thanks for the replies everyone, it really was alot of fun today. Love the video Terry, Willie is one of my fav's DouG, where's this so called report Shall we do it all again tomorrow ?????

Met up with Terry, Wayne, Lloyd and Aile Goby on Simcoe today. So far this year Paul and I have been skunked, but I washed that skunk right out of my hair today!!! We had a rough ride out on crusted over slush with a million tire/sled tracks to contend with. By the time we got to the spot Lloyd was set up at, Wayne had lost his auger cap, Terry's fishfinder was broken, everyone's pop/water bottles had busted open in their coolers and any kind of food was bashed to a million pieces Oh ya, and I think Wayne ran over his glasses too We set up and Lloyd gave me a quick tutorial on my pain in the arse fishfinder which helped immensely and contributed to my catching my fish. Thanks Lloyd!! Paul had the first fish on tho, a nice laker. Got it right to the hole and then the fish banged off the edge of the hole and was gone. Lloyd getting ready for the grab. Then is was my turn, and I got it to the hole and Paul scooped it out A nice 28 incher. Terry decided to move and in the process, broke his thumb on his auger somehow, so was in alot of pain the rest of the day. It was swollen up pretty good and bruised. Kind of funny to hear him reeling in a fish going ow, ow, ow!!! We didn't mark any fish for quite awhile so Terry and the two of us decided to move. It was a good move because Terry got into this nice Whitey right off the bat - YAY! Video of Terry's fish: he was having a hard time because his reel broke, then he thought he had it by the tail, then Paul thought it was by the middle, but it ended up being caught by the mouth but was stuck on the ice at the side of the hole. I can't believe they got it on the ice!! Wayne somehow found us without a GPS later and tried to set up. And Wayne wonders why he can't catch any fish on Simcoe Coupla other shots. Terry Jigging Paul smiling We left around 4 p.m., and I must say, my face is sunburned and hurtin! But it was still a great day on the ice. Great company and some fish to boot. Got home and it was time to filet. The Horror!! Got 6 nice filets out of her with the new knife Paul bought me down in a little shop in Belle River where the guy makes his own knives. This one was made out of wood knot. It cut like butter. So 28 more inches for Team 5 - The Reel Deal Cheers, Joey

I seriously doubt it is the father's of 4 who are out zipping around like that oblivious to others "space" on the ice. ....and I'm pretty sure Terry was only stating what he'd LIKE to do. I'm with him on that one. People need to learn respect for personal property and space in this world. There is far too much selfishness and idiocy out there. Wish there was a fine for stupidity

I am so envious Lew. You and Diane are just going to love living there I bet. I can hear the enthusiasm in your typing Enjoy and don't forget to send us pics every now and then of the wildlife. Joey

Another stellar report Simon. You certainly are learning the lakes and getting some solid knowledge of the patterns and feeding habits. It's no wonder you do so well. Joey

Really great report Wayne. I was thinking about you guys while you were up there, wondering how you were making out. Wish I had my passport cause then I wouldn't have even given you guys a thought cause I'd be somewhere tropical with Leah Joey

Wow, what a monster. Congrats Lloyd Joey

Sweet Terry, way to go. Our Simcoe Skunk continues unfortunately Joey
