A big congrats to my niece Sarah and my new Nephew-in-Law Erik. They tied the veritable fishing knot out at a friends ice hut near Sudbury today, what a great ceremony and wonderful afternoon. Here are some pics of the festivities!! The Groom The Bride and Jaden The Crowd!! The ceremony! The kiss!! Someones happy!! The honeymoon Suite (LOL) Just kidding... Some holes drilled.. (getting thick!)) Some Fishing! The Buffett! The Fam! A great day!! Congrats!!

Id throw Handlebarz Lures out... nothin' but trouble ... lol Impressive list!

LOL... if ya think thats redneck.. wait till my next post when you see how i spent my afternoon.

Ya dont shoot the ones by the house!!! Ya breed them!! and besides... seasons closed....

LOL... Out my window this morning...

If my wife and/or kids, got into an accident in the winter and I didnt have snow tires on the car, i dont think i could forgive myself. Not much money for a bit more peace of mind.. and actually if your swapping them out with summer tires... everything should last as long as ... well two sets of tires... so other than paying abit to have them put on and taken off... its really not much more outta pocket as far as im concerned.

All seasons on the Pilot... but definitely winter tires on my smaller civic!! Makes a world of difference.

FREAKY SWEET POST!!

So.. for me and Monique.. do you think the smaller model will be fine?? Oh ya... where did ya buy it??

Normally I put our shower water over the fire to warm up, but Im thinking of getting one of these. I've had TWO of the Colemans, that just totally disappointed me... both of them . Has anyone used these or have another better breand.. these look pretty good.. They say 400 hot showers on a 20lb tank. http://www.zodi.com/Consumer/zodihottaphpshower.html Looks like its got some great reviews..... http://www.amazon.com/ZODI-Outback-Gear-Extreme-Shower/product-reviews/B000RYWQP6

Yup Cant wait.. this is the third time to Kesagami and gonna be the longest.. I'm hoping Avery enjoys his time up there, big change from Ottawa... Funny thing is hes got a couple of weeks to hang out before he leaves and all he wants to do is go to camp. lol Chris... not much a a whitie fisherman. so im not sure!

Nice Report and beauty fish.. Im thinking of you and hope the treatments go as well as they can!

Gonna be a good one... Avery is heading up to Kesagami to work for the season and we have a 5 night trip booked up there as well, with one day on the outpost lake as well. I can't wait! Got myself a 12 foot tinny on a trailer with a 2.5 hp brand new Yamaha so Monique and I can start exploring all the great little gems we've found while 4-wheeling around Jiggy. We're planning on a ton of videos to support the new store. Cant believe my boy is off to work in the bush ... he'll be right at home!! Man... im sick of plowing the driveway.

Its a funny thing that this "defintion" thing comes up... Avery was home this week from university, most of his courses are geared to encourage critical thought on issues. He was telling me that one of the reasons that governments are dysfunctional is that they are arguing over terms/words, that cant be defined, or are defined differently by everyone. Words such as freedom and justice, words that means something slightly different to everyone. So therefore, your not arguing about the same concept, cause both parties interpretations of the word is different. AS for fishing being a sport... im unsure, im sure thats another word that people have a difference of opinion on.. Is fishing a sport to me... not sure. I think a sport is where the winner is just a better player and the field is level. Not sure thats the case with. Personally I think fishing tournaments are more of a Competition than a Sport, BUT those who define "Sport" differently than I would disagree. The thing I find funny here, is that Ice Fishing is Vying to become a more serious sport while the Olympics are gonna drop "Wrestling".... unreal.

WAUSAU, Wis. — The ice fishermen spent a week on the frozen lake, and on the last day, after emptying perch and bluegill from their buckets and scrubbing bait from their hands, several winners of the World Ice Fishing Championship were ushered into their rooms in the Plaza Hotel. There, an official from the United States Anti-Doping Agency ordered them to provide urine samples for a surprise test to detect steroids and growth hormones — drugs not normally associated with the quiet solitude of ice fishing. “We do not test for beer, because then everybody would fail,” said Joel McDearmon, chairman of the United States Freshwater Fishing Federation. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/24/sports/ice-fishermen-not-immune-to-dopings-reach.html?ref=todayspaper&_r=0

Im very happy the turnout was good!!

LOL.. suicide fish.....

WOW!!!

No worries, everything is ok.. just gotta do something with my dad.

Due to some personal family issues I will have to attend to on Saturday, looks like ill not be making the trip the the Tyler Event this year. So I've shipped off a bunch of stuff to Elisa for the prize table. But hey why stop there... so from now till tomorrow noon I'm gonna reduce my flat shipping rate to 5 bucks and donate 10 percent of my gross sales to Fishing for Tyler. If you haven't donated yet, and/or are not going to the event, this is a great way to get some good tackle and support a worthy cause (and yes.. lol. help me move some inventory.) Have a look around, ill be adding stuff all day. http://www.duenorthfishinglures.com
