It was at the launch were the Fish 4 Tyler event was, just that the ice deteriorated from salt falling off cars/trucks bouncing onto the ice and the normal spring melt. Some people listen to advice, others you leave to their own devices.

They said it was a UTV, the kind you sit in side by side, sort of like an open jeep.

Like OhioFisherman said, check the capacity plate and then figure 3/4 to max HP, estimate 6-9.9HP depending on width and depth of the boat.

Too many life jackets in the human gene pool, had a few of the 100 milers going from Innisfil across to Snake/Fox Is on saturday.

Depending on ice conditions you can get some perch around the Barrie Marina and park.

Bring minnows from somewhere else, apparantely Lou Simcoe Bait is out and won't get anymore fora while.

There's still a good 12-16 inches of ice, watch out for old hut holes.

No guarantees, but you can try the Barrie Marina on Lakkeshore Dr, lots of parking.

Lou is usually open by 6:30, but last I heard he was out of small minnows and not getting anymore for a while.

The trick with cooking whities is to remove the brownish liver coloured stripe on the mid exterior of the fillet, if you don't it will taste like I would say it's sort of like fresh cod(not the stuff from the grocery store) real fresh.

It looked like a Wal mart parking lot today around the islands and Innisfil Beach, and the worst were some of the nutbars going about 100, water splooshing up and down in the holes. Oh well..candidates.

There's always tomorrow, I went out at 7:20 and until 11:30 only had a few bumps, then put down the simple #8 hook, minnow and 2 splitshot on bottom..10 minutes..2 whities.

I bought a Lansky Sharpening kit about 20 years ago, works fine for me, if you can afford it, get the diamond stones.

Ya, last time it was the undertaker who was training some new students on a dead body. PMATD.

1. Maybe the other delaer had a bottom line and didin't feel like expending time when there is no profit to be made. 2. Go to DMV to get the plate for you, I would give you the address and and some info what to do. Maybe the first dealer will bait the hook for you too.

That's why you anchor opposite corners of the hut.

Well I'm not 100% sure, but if the coupler doesn't seal then you may be sucking a bit of air, I'm in the same boat, picked up an older Honda 8, have to get the fuel coupler for the motor end and a new tank coupler fitting.

Thou shalt always read the "Exceptions" section that are pertinent to the zone(16) and particular lakes in that zone. Simcoe is S2/C1.

It's beyond me why people even bother to reply to any of these scam adds and then yell the sky is falling when things look fishy. Be smart, if it looks like a scam, it probably is.

It's back up.

That sounds like a question from someone that lives at _______. How on earth is anyone going to give you the thumbs up that in 2 weeks, the ice is going to be "safe". It might be safe right now, but rain, rising water, sunny days can change that. How be try a couple days before you go.

Seriously...hmmm...

Well depending what you need, I can find most of the things, plugs, engine oil, lower gear oil, etc at...ya I know Cnadian Tire. Have you looked there?

Well that's your opinion and unless you're going back down to the bottom with the fish, it's just an opinion, a percentage of them do die. If you've caught your limit, you should limit the carnage.

Check tire condition and pressure, bearings, check lights and tie downs. Then check minimun safety requirements list and upgrade if needed, new ropes and anchor line if required, check winch strap. Add gas to tank and a shot of seafoam. The rest was done last fall. (the plug is already in the drain hole). Make sure the appropriate paperwork is in the waterproof container.
