great stuff Mike ... looks like a terrific summer ...

worth every penny

still miles apart http://www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/nhl/article/1298936--nhl-lockout-putting-on-a-show-rather-than-doing-a-deal-cox Taken from above article... ___________________________________ So where are we actually? Closer to a deal? Well, close on some issues, and still a ways apart on others, difficult ones. The key issues appear to be limits on the length of contracts — the league wants five years, the players offered eight — and the term of any new collective bargaining agreement. The league wants a 10-year deal — most fans do, as well — while Fehr’s contention is anything longer than five or six is unreasonable. _______________________________________

Great video, really liked that shot of the hand reaching down for that monster pike

Sorry to hear about your uncle, hoping for the best in his battle. With all that expert tutoring , won't be long now before your son starts showing up the old man. Great pictures.

wow ! must be nice to drive around and catch walleyes like that ... LOL

You are a blessed man !! I could view those pictures a thousand times and never get tired of looking at them.

That is truly inspiring ... both my kids ask about her progress now ... we are all hoping for a full recovery

Congratulations Dana !

Hey Simon, ... looking forward to see some new ice fishing vids ...

Looks pretty cool , but doubt I will spend more money on that gear ... I too like using my old wooden style tip up ...

Hey Mike , nice fish ... LUNKER !!!!!!

here is a link to another article, very sad ... http://www.thespec.com/news/local/article/836695--ex-nhler-stan-jonathan-charged-in-hunting-death

Incredible report !!! great photography , thanks for posting your adventure ...

Thanks for the info all ... seems that most guys here at work have upgraded to mudlites for better mud and snow traction Rick .. I havn't decided on which quad yet, although I have been wanting to pull the trigger for years ... now that i have so much ice fishing gear i just don't have the enrgy to hand pull it anymore ... , if the weather cooperates this winter hope to get out to Simcoe, Haliburton and Temagami, hope to tag along with you at least once .. Freshtrax ... those sleds look like a pretty good deal , especially only using them for ice fishing ... definitely cheaper than a quad ... but not sure how much work they would need ..

too much money for tracks, I will check out the chains before buying bigger tires

I can’t justify buying a sled with such a limited season, but an ATV has more usability. I have a question for the ATV owners out there that use them for getting out on the hardwater. Using an ATV for ice fishing especially when hauling plenty of gear I assume has its challenges in snow. If the lake has packed down snow trails it probably would be ok with factory tires but what size ATV tires are best to help with traction in snow? I know there has been some discussions here on ATV’s but I am thinking solid axle would probably be better if you intend to haul and load down the ATV. I would be using it yearound primarily for hauling gear/equipment/wood .. etc

Phenomenal stuff !!! great report !!!

Great pics, good you got some birds, and congrats on the new ATV ... nice setup
