Ya, a smelt, way back about 20+ years ago, it was quite common to catch 12 inch smelt around Lefroy, a dozen of them fried in butter with a beer would result in a mighty BUUUUUURRRRRRP! Hard to find them that size on Simcoe now.

Well Barnie, if you're happy with momo like a lot of people still are, there nothing wrong with 8lb Trilene XL, MAXX or Sensation. I'm not a fan of braids either.

Somebody should move to Abbotsford, BC.

Don't forget the paper towels and a radio/light for the ice hut. Forgot to mention last time, Satellite TV, but no spanky channels, only religious ones Have a good trip.

Hmmm, what Clamp-it said. Walleye, mostly found around Talbot area in the spring, Crappie, they go south for the winter and show up when the ice melts in little marinas and harbours.

Level 10 358,000, jeez who rearranged the map and added all those countries, they weren't there when I went to school.

Well I'll not be greedy, you can keep all of it below highway 7.

No fish, just gravel pits, although there are some whales in there in the summer.

Some days you get a dozen or so jumbos=good for a meal, other days you catch a bunch of little Johnsons, just like gambling.

...but they still have that distictive 2 stroke stink that'll make ya gag going downwind. No thanks. And, if they were that good, I'm sure somebody would try putting an etec engine in a car.

No, not me, I was just surmizing that at the sale price it may have been made across the pond. Amazing to find something made here.

I did the BPS trip to Auburn Hills in September, definitely not impressed with the employees for one, dressed like they just got off the tractor and attitudes to go with it. I found Cabelas much better. (And there's nothing wrong with farmers on tractors)

Just for chits & giggles, look on the mfgr tag, where is the suit made?

Animals and the things they do, pretty good.

That as best as I recall is that little round piece of whatever the bible thumper gives you in church after you commited sins, actually"hostie" I think they're cheap, should give out candies instead.

After reading this, got a little nervous about using the 10% ethanol in my Honda. Checked the owners manual(1996), it already allowed for use up to 10% ethanol in the gas with no worry. One less headache.

Emil, give me some time I'll find the better ones made by "Marinco", well worth it, no corrosion. I think they are available in Newmarket http://www.marinco.com/scpt/ProdPage.php?l...20Shore%20Power

We brought sleeping bags although full bedding was provided. A small portable radio for the ice hut, PAPER TOWEL, tea towel for drying dishes, your own towel and wash kit, or, bring paper plates and plastic kfs. Other than that, everything was there. One more thing, a small lantern or flashlight for in the hut early morning/evening gets pretty dark in there.

Made the annual trip up to Lake Nippissing for a bit of ice fishing and relaxation with my boys, 23+25, not so little any more. The road trip had its hairy moments, whiteouts from the weather and mad transport drivers rolling in convoys 5-7 trucks long, can't see anything when they do that. Made it to our destination at Idle Tyme Fish Camp by 3pm, met by the owner who prompty wisked the boys out to the hut in the comfort of the "big green bubble", big plastic hut on skis. I played cabin floosy, got everything packed into the cottage and listened to the action on the GMRS radio. Good bites. Saturday a little cooler, the bite was slow but steady, perch, heering, and a decent fat walleye, unfortunately slot sized so it went back pronto. Sunday was even colder, -30 and clear, only caught a few perch. All in all, had a great time. We've done the "on ice condo's" a few times and wanted to try out the cottage and day hut routine instead. IMHO, much, much better this way, warm bed, lots of room, TV, nice warm white porcelin to sit on, and hey, fish don't bite much at night anyway and all for the same price. His huts have wood stoves, lots of heat and ideal for cooking lunch. I have no problem recommending this outfit, we got everything we wanted.

Ya, got my card last night, no return address, opened it carefully, another filler for the recycle bin.

Use the lower setting, it's not as fast but doesn't cause a higher rate off gassing a water loss.

Hmmm.. Trailers should ride level or slightly tongue end LOW, this prevents high speed sway/fishtailing.

Get one of these and leave it hooked up all winter, my RV battery is a 1998, the boat battery is 2002, both 100%. http://www.vdcelectronics.com/batteryminder_12117.htm

Nice boat, waitaminit, where's the wormpoop, I don't see no wormpoop on the carpet.
