Awesome guys, thank you very much, I dont get to see my bro very much and we both love fishing this will be a treat, one more question, is there a place near by for minnows or should I bring some from up here?

Going to visit my brother this Monday, can anyone tell me a easy to park/walk out area for some perch right in Barrie? Thanks guys

Ballsy and vvery appropriate responce Randyfromsturgeon

Chesley is good for small eyes and aaron for perch, the harbour in the sound when it actually freezes can get you some whites, give me a pm, I used to live in Owen Sound and fish grey county a little bit on the ice

Crazy slow

Thanks man, I guess the main thing is just go and try lol, I will take a drive tommorow I am off and see what lake/s to hit up :-)

My votes its, hope there dreams come true :-)

Anyone care to share some info on access for all these lakes? Looking for a spot to park my truck and walk out, the only spot I have bin on is Nip on Callander bay the others I have not even been to yet, I dont want your honey holes lol just curious I would like to go out somewhere new tommorow and wonder if I can just park and walk to fish, info mainly wanted for kiosk and temagami Thanks guys Nelson

Bush's livery in Port Severn, and Derek's just as you go into Waub, I used to live in Port Severn but its bin years so check first

I have had tons of luck in Callander Bay for whitefish, wich is cool its my first year catching them, a few perch and walleye but mainly whites in approx 23'

Thanks Irish I will take a look at my map tonight I may venture up to Temagami in the next little bit but I know that water even less lol, I will only hit up where the traffic is heavy and thanks Raf I will just steer clear of them then, I have a good little spot there when its softwater, wanted to try it out but I will pass

Yes I am and thanks Irishfield, I take it they are all over then? I just dont know the ice here so I am a little leary on where to go I went out a few days ago between a pile of huts on callander but no luck, I would like to go out to the islands in Callander but I am not sure if its ok Nelson

Anyone care to give a location or two, I dont want your honey hole lol, just a general idea as where to go this is my fiorst year on the ice hear, so any spots for anything is good lol, but never caught a whitefish yet

So go slow and add rails and I should be ok :-) I only have a citation and speed is not an issue just not walking, lazy guy here lol, so with runners towing would likely be ok then?

Anyone tow these with there snowmobile? as in made a tow bar or installed one? I am not interested in speed with it just loading my gear on it and going? Would it drag under the snow to much?

Anyone having any luck on Callander now? I have bin out a few times with no luck, marking lots out in 30ft but I can't seem to get a hit for nothing Nelson

It looks like on google map that you could drive to the base of Lady Evelyn Lake via red Squirrel Rd., is this correct? I am looking for a real saecluded lake for me and my bro to go to within the next month I do have a 01 dakota 2wd quad cab so rough road is ok 2ft of mud is not lol Nelson

I just sold my lx with 361,000kms on it and it still ran like new no major repairs and I used it off road quite a bit for fishing lol my now 97 ranger has 260,000 and other then some minor rust spots purrs like a kitten never lets me down and hauls my 18month son around with me no prob, I also have a 2006 santa fe that they brakes have bin done with less then 24,000 and now has two rust spots, long story short in my opinion they all have ups and downs I have always bin a ford and dodge guy and never had any issues with dealers or vehicles

License or not in question he or she has the right to ask for ID and a license is just a form of ID easy to ask for

Just a guess here sorry to come off strong but maybe he was just doing his job, a cop can ask to see anything in my wallet and I would gladly show him, I could question his rights and he could call MTO to check my vehicle over lol know what I mean

Lol on #7 of broken fingers or toes, ok I am a cluts, moving or not moving your finger is no way to tell only once could I not move it when it was broken and that was an axe mishap, everytime I have bin in the doc said do you want me to waste money on an xray or tell ya its broke? A cast is usually only if its major bad, but I am not a doctor just repeating some of my misshaps lol

Yup Rabbit lake road I am not sure what lake to hit up Sunday there are so many just thought rabbit is easy to get to, so I am looking on google earth still, maybe hit up another lake ?

So this Sunday I am going to try out rabbit lake any suggestions or heads up what to look for and expect? I have no clue on this lake and would like a little help tips on lures/bait and species, judging by google the road in looks like its complicated but I d/l to my garmin so we will see :-) thanks guys
