Holy schnikes, that's about the worst time one could have while ice fishing! At least no one was hurt? (Yet) lol

Didn't you recently pick up a second Bravo so you at least have a machine until this fiasco gets sorted out?

I grew up camping and fishing on Crotch. Thanks for the report!

Heres my new sled. 2015 Voyageur 155.

 

Picture from last weekend on the MB/ON border plying some new backcountry lakes for gravel lizards.

I'm leaning towards the 550 144" for next fall

My dad was there this past summer. Lake is huge and the wind was high almost the entire week (close to n. shore of superior so weather is a wildcard). Walleye fishing was mostly terrible, don't remember exact numbers, only the massive disappointment haha

I'm sure the lake produces good fishing at times, but if you're making a substantial trip like I definitely would not reccomend it. My 0.02

Ya that's not what I needed on this frigid mid-February day. Or maybe it's exactly what I needed...thanks for posting!

Do your research. The lake is very remote but has had many lodges on it for decades and is definitely a pressured fishery. I would consider other options if you're really interested in high quality fishing

That said, and you are correct.... Is not what hunting was meant to be.... It was to put food on the table.

 

Now it's about bling, camp patterns etc.... Anything to sell something....

 

Consumerism.

 

G

Tried to ignore this...but can't...sorry but that's astoundingly ignorant. Try telling that to anyone in any small northern community where the fall moose/deer/bear hunt is a rite of passage, and an important family gathering that doesn't have a damn thing to do with consumerism, flashy gear or anything of the like. To generalize the entire hunting community like that is pretty ridiculous, not to mention downright false.

Fargo is a classic, and the fact that everyone talks like that around here makes it even funnier (just with a bit more french in der eh).

Beautiful bows man. Too bad I'm stuck at work on a beautiful day like this. My off days line up nicely with the return of the -30 temps haha

white twister hands down.

Do you really NEED braid? You're nowhere near bottom and the bites aren't exactly subtle. I would just use whatever downrigging gear I'd happen to have in the boat

You can buy an ATV trailer and a good quality older 12 footer for less than what that costs.

I saw tracks on an Outlander 500 earlier this year, and it performed quite well in deep snow, but 4 grand buys you a very nice snow machine!

Don't you have a sled? Lol

It was bought and will be re-opened, apparently as a ritzy joint! Not sure how it could get any classier though

Lots of good operators, not many bad ones. Time to check some websites. Tama Kwa and Rob Hyatt's bungalows are typically good fish producers, but Idle Tyme and Waltonian Inn are also in good spots, but are typically are a little more hit and miss. Avoid Snofari at all costs unless you like mudpuppies and being right next to one of the busiest access points on the lake.

You could have just spent 15 bux and have an auger that cuts like brand new in about 2 minutes lol

Them's are some shallow 'eyes. I'd love to hit the big lake W some day

Only 6 more weeks of winter would mean an early spring here. Bring it on!

I think I've put 3 phones down the hole or out the side of the boat/canoe, although I'm more careful now (few years since the last one).

Sacrificed a few nice rod/reel combos as well.

What a clown. I'm guessing there was a very large quantity of fish discovered for there to be jail time involved. Love to see it

Keep in mind that mid Sept can provide some insane weather patterns in that part of the province

Your safari is pink! Lol not making fun just never seen one before that colour.

A day like that is a great time regardless of fish caught!

Very skilled build!! But not exactly practical for someone that needs to haul stuff in their box. His compartments wouldn't be great for a chainsaws/coolers/rods and reels etc.

I'm gonna get a truck box tent for next season, can't wait to get using that.

Id say your lucky too. Tell me that happened loading it and not cruising down the hwy? Yikes!

It happened driving down a logging road at 50 km/h. Lots of heaving going over bumps repeatedly.
