misfish

All enjoyed in the confines of home lol

I was out 5 x,s before the deep snow. I walk and my knees will not allow me to walk through that mess we had,as short of a walk it is . Past 2 season were,warm temps,sketchy ice,this season,good ice,way to much snow and slush . Am I giving up,hell no, there is always next season. As for my equipment when heading out well, KISS . A good push smitty,pop up hut,heater,3 bottles of heater fuel ( I LIKE TO STRIP DOWN ) Auger, finder and 2 sticks. Pocket radio and thermos of java.

With the help from family,they are doing up some T,s . Family is getting the 1st off,s

Have not heard of one . Ii know the ice show is going to have one this winter .

Sounds like a good plan to me. Sell my ties on the side . I have a few finders laying around. Wonder if I would need them all .

If your attending, be sure to stop by and check out my work and say howdy . Date March 30th is getting here faster and faster .

Was my way of making sure tour day was grand bud. Now if I had only remembered how to get to the 2nd line my first try. 😆. Been many years since I had been down that way.

Reading and hearing, that many are stuck and leaving their machines to get back to shore today. Reports of 4ft of snow and 6ft drifts. A year when we get ice,mother nature goes and throws a huge curve ball . This snow is alot of weight which many do not understand. . Cracks in the ice will allow water to seep through and creat slush,which you will not see til yer on it and that there,ends yer travels.

Well,I was able to hook up with our member this morning ,as he was fishing with an outfitter on the 2nd line. Met up with him and handed over a whole new batch of baits . Canada post, nor wind nor blowing wind and low vis,will stop the loony bin bugs and grubs guy ,from getting to those that want. Well, to a limit 😆. It was a nasty morning, but it was a day that was special, so I made the extra effort to make sure the day started off well . Must be the newfie in me byes.

Well, I do not know whats going on with Canada Post these days . I have had two shipments not get to it,s destination. One being for a member here. As always,I send a picture of the package to confirm the right address is written on the package before mailing out . This really bothers me,as I take it personally when this happens . Canada post is something else.

Glad you had an enjoyable day Cliff with your son . That blood worm has been a hit with many anglers this season. Sold out right now and hope to have my supplies here soon to catch up on new orders that just keep coming in. Funny how a season of ice,gets everyone in a buzz. Thank you again for reaching out and supporting my adventure.

Thanks again big guy. Have a day out there. 👍

Stelar buddy .

If whom you are talking about Steve, Fred, I believe he past a few years back . He was the guy that did the decoy fish carvings.

Knowing the 2 ole fellas that started the Simcoe bug way back. Ole George and Pat Mahony, they are legends . When I first met both of them,they would have a bell sinker on the bottom of their lines with a few bugs above . When they hooked up,they reeled up and just dropped the fish on the ice or in a bucket and gave them a shake. Bugs just popped out of the mouth. The were running the bugs barbless. Never once did I ever see them have to grab a fish .

I was thinking of you Bill . If I had caught a whitie,they would of been froze up for ya .

😆 Yesterday was my first outing on the ice here . Lots of bait, no whities . Was getting lots of tag hits on my larger blood worm for whities, so this morning, I tied up some smaller ones for the high hook . They worked great. Just enough bait to chow down on for a lunch snack. So so scrumptious 😋 20250125_082331.mp4

Happy new year all. All the best this year.

I remember at the Barrie launch,Terry and I came in. 2 boats trying to get on their trailers. Well you know us,no time for that. Terry gets the truck,pulls in between them both . I drive up on the trailer,and we gone. LMAO

Not a fan of the heat and humidity any longer,but love my heat in the winter LOL

Read that this morning on his grandsons post. I was very shocked and sadden. He will be missed . RIP COOL CAT.

We have plans to hit PD in a couple of weeks bud. Will let you know when . Made my own 60 deg shank with a tube hook trailer articulating fly.

Speaking of far,I mailed out a package today that will be heading to Ecuador . A package of trout flys.

Thanks Doug. Any purple of pink ones hanging around? LMAO

I have searched high and low and covered youtube as best I could Cliff. NADA. I know Cliff pops on here every blue moon. Send him a pm.
