  1. HAHA! I went with an 'older' unit that was listed for $389 and paid $100 (Lowrance Mark-4) following this same idea... And yeas it was/is a "new" unit never been used
  2. Joe it's two fold. Maui Jim but also the company that even made the offer to 'try'. Good to hear.
  3. y'all made me go check mine and I'm good to go till 2018 for card & sport license. but thanks for the reminder
  4. I've been living here (Lindsay) for 3 years now and the ice from the lock in town to Sturgeon Lake is never the best so might as well close it for safety. Yes it will freeze over but due to the constant flow under the ice I'd never try and walk on it even if it was open there.
  5. Same but yeah it could be a good food source. Let's just hope that what the shrimp are eating isn't a 'take away' from another and causes a decline to population of fish in said lakes. I have always liked shrimp looking and or coloured baits on the ice for pan fish...
  6. Oh my ex-wife's sister's place... Yeah that was/is a VERY nice house! (by Little Lake there Brian B ) Check PM shortly Nick
  7. Might be able to cast still I fear with the temps the way they are right now. Oh and it's snowing again as I type this... If I'm not working I'd be in too either casting from shore or standing on the ice.
  8. all this "smitty" talk I may end up making one too...
  9. I'm with sinker on this one for having hope to have safe ice then (and good fishing). Other lakes in the area the odds are you can still boat on if the temps don't drop.
  10. I ordered 3 for my kids and I, cheers
  11. When my kids were younger we played "fishy - fishy" in the backyard with a rubber sinker so daddy could practice with a biatcaster...
  12. Yes, FMZ16 is 6 and that is how many are in the pic. he caught 7 that day and from the looks of it kept 6 of said 7. That's how I see it is all
  13. thanks for posting and an even better follow up reply!
  14. Lunch, check. Clean the garage out so the truck can fit back in, check. Put the weight back in the back of the truck for the winter, check. Put the truck in the garage to make sure I made enough room, check. Nap time? About to check...

  16. Those are the two lines I use as well. Back when a member had a e-store he asked the MFG of the Tuff-Line for me if the ice version was any different and they said no, smaller spool and costs more...
  17. yes I will sure is and I hope to find them
  18. And the 500 and 1000 series is on "clearance" at CTC for $30 right now based on the website. I'm going for two tomorrow
  19. Best point there is the reel. I am planning to pick up another 1000 series shimano this week so when my kids are with me they have a good reel that I don't need to worry about. Most of my rod's are 28's due to hut size or set up in the hut
  20. I would take this offer if I was you
  21. on facebook? there are local buy and sell groups you may find some posted on if so.
