I forgot! Too late now

Please don't put spoilers in the subject line

That was a great game, the place absolutely erupted when we scored the winner. It's unfortunate that tickets are so expensive though. At $300 a seat there's no way I could have taken my Son to the game if I didn't score free tix. Well, maybe in the nosebleeds....

One word: Stromboli Heated in foil over the hut heater.

I use Trilene Sensation for just about everything, it's good line.

They drive me nuts when I'm drop shotting perch and I reel up into a school of herring, and they bite the drop shot weight and not the hook!!!

I was actually wondering about how it would work on the ice. I thought maybe ice would be hard on the skis, hadn't thought about it rear ending me! Good to know, I'll make sure to let 'er down gently so to speak. Thanks.

What can I say - I overbuild everything!

Count me in if there's ice.

So is this going to turn into a G2G on the ice????

Good ideas thanks. I used 2x6 for crossers so I could use 4 anchor pins per crosser. I actually do put a fair bit of weight in them. The list above doesn't include rods, tackle, BEER, or the two five gallon pails of minnows! I like the idea of hockey sticks for a light run and gun sled though, I might just build one of those too!

It's fairly sturdy with a static load, I'm 220 and it holds my weight standing still. I have a few ideas to modify it if necessary after I test it out on the ice. The main reason there's no brace now is the crossers are removable.

Dara, I'm pulling it by hand so the Pelican sleds build up a wedge of snow and take a lot of effort. Now that it's on skis it *should* pull with minimal effort. John, we got lucky and got those skis free so I wasn't complaining about the brand. Funny story though, one of them still had a binding on it and after an hour we gave up trying to remove it. Went to the ski shop and they removed it for me n/c. They had a good laugh though, they took pictures and sent them to the binding company asking to submit it for a warranty claim! This has been a fun way to help the time pass while waiting for ice.

We bring a LOT of gear on the ice, especially for out of shape middle aged walkers. So this year I decided no more, I'm building a Smitty. Well, actually two Smitties. I told you we bring a lot didn't I? Just off the top of my head: 2 Pelican 60 sleds 2 popup shelters 2 heaters Gas auger Manual auger Foam floor panels Chairs Shovel Spud Minnow buckets Fish finder And the list goes on.... So I'm almost done Smitty1. I'm totally not handy, so I'm actually pretty happy with it I have to say. Here's a few pics: I'll post an update when I get some more done. I sure hope after all this effort it pulls nice on the ice....

I've never had that feeling there, you must look shady or something ?

This would be good news to me too.

I have a rapala sherpa m3 and so far it's been great.

I'm not gonna lie, I laughed pretty damn hard at that

Based on the two week forecast you're probably still good to go.

For those of you who are dying for ice, here's a little taste. Today in Port: It's early and it's just a tease but what the hell.....

Posted this earlier but it got lost pretty quick. Tribe back with a vengeance. The whole album is great....

Tribe is back for one last ride and it's a good one. I'm digging the whole album, here's a sample:

There's an Eskimo Shark in Richmond Hill that's marked down from 599 to 389 Same one in Maple (AISLE w/o), 299$ There's still a few deals to be had

It's a great show! So glad they signed for a second season. Right now nothing is catching my interest more than Westworld. Straight awesomeness.

Good stuff! I used a manual auger once. Once. Then ice went and got my gas auger. Never go back....
