nothing wrong with a feed or two at all - enjoy!

a BIG brown! looks like I am gonna be doing a lot more open-water trolling for salmon trout & eyes & less time for bass/pike/muskie

my first fish was a stocked rainbow from a local conservation area pond - i was 4 or 5

morning Lew - Jamie has the gold chip & it worked great for us on Quinte be aware though I dont know if Navionics has added the French/Nippissing area yet - i know you fish there a little bit - would be handy to help navigate along the shoals & whatnot -

we were booked with another operator too for next weekend - not gonna be enough ice in time for the bungalows - we're gonna head up anywayz hoping there is safe for walking out with the hand augers & portables

put it on, jump in a lake with a bar of soap - too simple?

stinkin weddings eh Lew?

i like my Garmin - what Raf said

since you fish up in the French/Nipp area Rick, if you want charts for those areas make sure they are available for whatever brand you decide on I recently picked up a Garmin Extex Legend Cx - very nice versatile unit, but its screen size may not be to your liking for car use

very nice sandy hope you, "santa" & Dax had a nice Christmas

nice relaxful low-key CXhristmas spent with family - loved it! bought myself some nice needed fishing items before hand had given to me tons of BBQ sauces/rubs/marinades, some power tools for the workshop, clothes,....... had a very nice 4 day stretch off, back to work tommorow

right back at ya Chris - have fun with the kids!

All best to you & J & the young'ns my friend - be well

your not alone bud! "had to use hand auger, only 9"s of ice!" wish we had that problem!!!

ya I do it every year - some peole should just NOT be allowed to go tackle shopping for someone else this year bought both of "my" gifts in Nov & have used them early 8'6 St Croix Wild River spinning rod - already got some trout on it Garmin Extex Lengend Cx - has a coupla waypoints on it already

welcome! yes there is actually is a place where your allowed 2 rods per angler in regular season (not ice fishing season

Wayne's cottage

this weather is Bullspit - sorry but I am winter guy (skiing, hockey, icefishing....) - about to pull the plug on a booked ice bungalow trip for early Jan however I am glad ive got good year round open water opportunities nearby & my boat is not "winterized"

All the best boss Happy birthday to you & Merry Christmas to the Quesnel household

thanks Dan for sharing that - i just love those red halos around the blue spots such special fish they are

I own both models Darcy & am very happy with both x67c - is more versatile- has both graph & flasher options, they also make a GPS option model too - the flasher also has the bottom zoom feature which the fl-8 dosent - also can be used on the boat - i use mine on my bow mount - slight downside is that it can slow a little in extreme cold fl-8 easy/simple to use & wont "slow down" on you whatever your choice, they are both fine units

Safe ice on Nippissing for Jan 5 - dont think he can fit that in the bag though

Ed Zachary Terry!

very nice Phil, thanks for sharing Merry Christmas (NOT Xmas) to you & yours
