good on you Shawn. It will all be worth it in the end. cheers.

hey, that's my house.... JUST KIDDING!!!!! Good job making those calls as I'm sure the home owner didn't get a permit to do that.

I try from shore as I don't have a boat at home, it's at the cottage and not big enough for lake O. I even met up with memart one time...

nice job, good on ya for getting it going right away too...

I found a Shimano CVS 66M and the reel is Shimano 2500FB for $100.00 if anyone wants it.

Have you checked here for some past posts? There are some great ways to smoke fish in posts less then a year old. I like to let my fish (salmon or trout) marinate in the brine for 24 to 36 hr. The brine is make of 500ML soy, 1L water, 100/150LM Sweet chili thai and a few hot pepers. When smoking the meat, I put the pepers on top too. Keep a spary bottle handy with some of the brine in it (just after you make it not after the fish has been in it) to spray the meat to keep it moist. Good luck and post pic's as to how you made out.

I was out on 4 mile lake over the weekend. There was 15" of ice on Sat about 80' out from shore and there was no chance of me going out on Sun. The ice turned a dull grey and you could hear it melting and cracking. Even with the floater on, I wasn't going. All season long on 4 mile, me and one other person ice fishing so zone 17 isn't being beaten like they feared it would be.

If you want in at BPS let me talk to Albert and see if they are still holding a spot for me. I cannot afford it this year and the Durham chapter is a lot closer for me... To the person who posted about having a boat and not being that good. Join as a non boater and learn from the others. after one event being paired with "the fish dr" I have learned a few tricks to boat a lot more fish...

Way to go Cliff! It's not everyday something like this falls in your lap. Good on ya and good luck!

careful how you word that...

Because it weighs 12 ozs. I would take it with you to your local tackle shop and test it out with a few rods. You want it to be nice and balanced so you are not fighting with the rod all day.

correct, you are maxed out at 120 minnows.

Cool, looking into that naw. LOL. It's been a while since I have but the alert has been on high since the day I got the tank. There is always the weekend to do these odd jobs... (but I plan on ice fishing this weekend so it won't be soon)

anyone know how to fix ammonia levels in a fish tank? my minnows are starting to die 1x1...

Bring a cordless drill with you and the longest drill bit you can find. Then drill every 5' to see how thick it is. Best bet on any ice you don't know is to be safe.

Eww, that's not Hawk poop? LOL Good on ya for helping such a cool bird out.

I have my 30 gal tank just for my minnows...

my kids are the same age and they both have spincast. for the 6-year old get one of the zebco's and you won't have a problem.

Whitby North is almost sold out as I was just there. I asked the MGR about the ice fishing sale and he said it's not happening this year as they had great sales numbers on ice fishing this year. Also, no gas augers to be found... They had 25 factory refurbished jiffy aurgers at the start of the season and were all gone by mid Jan.

Thanks Cliff! I'm going to get a new plug tomorrow and if it doesn't work it's all yours when I can get a pick-up to get it to you.

just called HD and they told me to contact another company...

yes it has a warranty but because my wife got this at HD I doubt they will fix it. they will send me to a dealer.

There is, right in the very middle of the flyer in the top right corner. it's how I found it to post about it. the flyer I got had a "clearance" insert so if you didn't get that then I understand why you didn't see it. no, I don't work for CTC...

that's the first I have heard of it but yes, it's not good.
