Extremely excited for this! Their last appearance was godlike. I'm game for some pre-show pike fishing too!

Have you BEEN there in the winter?

They work well on resident specks/bows, but I've never tried them on steelhead.

Thanks for the replies. I figured there was a cheaper alternative to buying the 50 dollar Humminbird battery.

I'm looking to replace the 12 v gel cell battery for my Humminbird fishfinder that died recently. I'm just wondering whether there will be any problems purchasing this http://compare.ebay.com/spid/29529017?fl=2...sShippingLowest as opposed to a Humminbird battery. Thanks.

I wouln't reccomend braid in any situation, unless there's some kind of ice braid I don't know about that isn't completely useless in cold weather. I started using P-Line's ice flourocarbon recently and it's great!

Check the moonwalk at 3:57

I'd take some quality time with an old friend you barely see anymore. This whole situation is borderline spousal abuse.

Thanks for the info. I stumbled upon a nice topo in the basement, so I should be able to cover all the water needed.

Your reports are getting painful. The gods of chrome were most unkind to me this fall.

That's one hell of an electronic set up ya got there. Nice report.

I'm spending a few days in Fenelon Falls, and will be fishing Cameron as much as humanly possible this weekend, and was wondering what kind of patterns/depths have been working for any others fishing the surrounding area/lakes. I was out this evening for a few hours without a sniff, but it seemed as though I was the only ice fisherman on the lake. I'll be back at er bright and early tomorrow morning. I'm all ears...

I use that exact colour swedish pimple for the perch on BOQ. Nice going.

Unreal.

My go-to spoon for walters.

oh c'mon. There's been anglers on every square inch of that lake for years now, and the huge drop in numbers is really quite apparent. Once upon a time it was a great fishery even with heavy fishing pressure. Closing it for the winter or perhaps something like a seasonal C & R only (in the Spring) type regulation seems plenty reasonable in my eyes.

I really don't see how hardwater stands a chance. I love both, but softwater definitely takes the cake.

I'm surprised more alarm bells aren't ringing off in peoples heads regarding the state of Scugog's fishery. It seems as though that lake is all but drained of its walleye. Not only are the numbers down DRASTICALLY, but I think the biggest 'eye I've pulled out of that lake has been no more than 14-15". It wasn't so long ago that Scugog was full of good sized walleye. I know I'm not too keen on wasting any more time there.

Slow day today. Was on the ice for about 6 hours with only a few jumbo perch and some missed hits to show for it. It seemed like everyone else was also drawing blanks. Big Bay has a solid 7-8 inches of good ice now. Lots of machines out there.

...Or maybe an auger.

There's quite a narrows there. I saw huts close to there a few days ago, but no machines and after the last two days I wouldn't risk it.

Wadda trophy! I topped my pb seagull this year.

Beautiful. I'll be back out on BOQ either tomorrow or Sunday.

Big Bay would be your best bet.

Nice going! I could only manage one little guy today, but I'll be back at it tomorrow as well.
