Elevator pitch! LOL

I was there on the weekend as well. 20%off rapalas was an awesome deal! never see newer rapalas going on sale here. updated my collection with a bunch of the new clackin baits. kills me how much cheaper sporting goods are in the states; bought a hockey helmet there (bauer 7500) for only $120, retails for $180 here! must be economies of scale. waited 2.5 hrs to eat at the cheesecake factory...not worth it. however, watching the leafs pull a win out while surrounded by groaning buffalonians, priceless!

I think we need to shut this one down...LOL just kidding, im with you all the way on that, Lew!

he isnt gonna get traded...

no need to build our population...

It's not so much the unrest in places like Libya that throws our gas prices up, our gas prices are affected more by speculative day traders than what is happening in Libya. All their oil goes to Europe... It doesn't help that they tax the crap out of our fuel at the pumps either. somethings gotta give but it never does! The kicker is that all this speculation drives prices up, however, there is NO correction, EVER! argh!!!

HA! so true...

Gadhafi is a nut bar, no doubt. I cant believe the UN hasnt stepped in to take control of the chaos there. He should be charged along the same line that Saddam was, crimes against humanity. He's already got away with murder before; Lockerbie bombimg. You gotta love the sculpture of the golden fist rising from the ashes of his bombed out compound clutching an american f-18, priceless! IMHO, Our gas prices are affected more by speculative day traders than what is happening in Libya. All their oil goes to Europe... What kills me is that there is no correction in these fluctuations, EVER!

Paul's da man!

I went this weekend, early on saturdays morning the parking lot was packed. I thought the seminars were AWESOME, however, i thought the sales were less than impressive. in fact, most vendors seemed to have jacked their prices for the show which annoys me (I love the buy 3 rapalas deals for $25 - no claks or x-raps either); Radioworld was selling the Navionics HotMaps for Canada for $110 plus tax, not a bad deal. All in all I was a little less than impressed, but again, seminars made up for a lot.

The Cuban CUC is a load of crap to begin with! They introduce monopoly money for tourists and peg it against the USD, WOW

here here...

Brian's the man! reminds me of Neil Young! LOL We've been up annually for a few years but didnt go last year. Havent made an attempt to contact him. I know he has been trying to sell the lodge for years though... Hes up there 12 months of the year, wonder where hes at??

I'm thinking of picking one of these reels up, havent use a low profile baitcaster in a while now. Any of you familiar with this model and willing to share some feedback?? reviews online seem to be pretty good. Any other reels you would like to suggest? thanks!

ahhhhh!! I buy frozen basa fillets from costco all the time! There really good! always wondered what kind of fish it was...

So we ended up fishing on simcoe at the 9th line. rented a hut from Adam Goy, great guy! drove us out to our hut, which he had warmed up for us, set us up with bait, and gave us some useful pointers as were pretty green to fishing the hardwater. We were fishing in 93fow. not much action all day long, did manage to land a perch 90 feet down! didnt think they went that deep. Adam says the patterns have been strange this winter, he believes its cause the herring are starting to make a re surgence in the lake. we did notice that HUGE schools of fish started to show up on our sonar at around 3:30pm, we were anticipating some action at that time, but before we knew it, it was time to head home. all in all, adam was a great guide. we will be back to give it another shot in a couple weeks. JEEZ! fishing the hard water is tough...

nice work, I'll be out there hunting for lakers n whities saturday morning. hopefully the bite keeps up!

thats great news Hoppy!! thanks for the much needed confidence booster! were you using jigging spoons or jig head n minnow?

I'll report back any successes

thanks for the input guys. Ended up going with Adam Goys Fishing out of Alcona (9th Line). great deal, $40/person including transportation and bait. thanks Misfish!

Hi all, A friend and I are planning to hit the hardwater this weekend (we're newbies to icefishing) and were looking to rent a hut on simcoe, preferrably somewhere between Gilford and Lefroy. Any idea who I can call for a hut rental?? thanks for the input! adam

wouldn't something like this have SERIOUS impact on the lake from an environmental POV??? I read once that a quart of oil in the water can produce oil slicks over a square kilometer area.. the owners should be on the hook for some fort of environmental cleanup or something along those lines...

so, you cant simply add an updated file to the existing card? is there an updated map card coming out next year with more lakes that I should've waited for??

sorry bout that... its being sold on amazon.com; had the chip shipped to my hotel in D.C. for free!

OV needs to stop filming and start scoring! hes killing me in my pools this year!
