Any chance you have pikeral baits ? I read they work better back of a tiller. 🤣

Hello my friend. You have been missed that's for sure.I was wondering where the hell you been and how you been. Glad yer back bud.

I don't do the hill. LOL If Calum says, it,s word in my books.

Saturday was wide open.

It,s a sign,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, He be sleeping with the fish,s,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Where ? I need to find that spot LOL

Do not let it fool you. MAin lake is fresh ice. I would be surprised if it,s over 2". Was wide open on Saturday. Warm spell coming again with snow.

It,s not as big as I thought it would be. The frame looked huge in your pics. Like the redneck locking device on the door. 😁

Have you seen the temps ? Wednesday to Friday ?

Holy work out. Sure glad I bought those NATS. There were some bare spots still, but mostly deep snow drifts . The crack had sunk and finding a spot to cross was a bit tricky. Did not get to my spot,was to hard walking and dragging all the gear. Managed to lose a whitie and caught a stinky pike. Was in such a hurry this morning, no camera and no cell. Slow down ole man. LOL

Well at least the wind is blowing and the snow is light. Hope there's an ice path for walking in the morning. Thank goodness it,s only a short walk .LOL We get good years and bad years. I still remember 2012. Main lake never froze up and we had that big rescue out on the bay. I fished the river more then I did the lake that winter.

Went for a stroll late this morning checking ice quality. Found 2.5-4 " of quality black ice and marked my spot . Ready for Sunday am. Here whitie whitie.

You do know Cliff , the next time you offer a hook up going south, you will need a grey coach bus for all those that want to go. LOL I can dig the sit and watch just like yer friend there. Just add a bucket of ice and brews.

All the makings of a ice fishing angler . I do not get why you do not ice fish . 🤣

LMAO Today started off mild -6, then it started to drop like a stone by 4pm. Gusty N/W winds are keeping the snow off the bay here . Seen a large blue pool out in the middle, but with temps dropping to -26 over night, that will tighten up quick. Hope that snow fall called for, stays south of 89. Hell it can stay down south as far as Woodyville. 🤣

My neighbor is a LCBO manager. I will get it out of him.

The warmers now, well most are air activated. No shaking required. Good thing. Nothing like shaking a pack or 2 in the truck and get the look, whats that guy doing in there ? LOL You want mitts JD. My right pinky gets cold real easy. I put a nail through it in the early 80,s. Ever since then, it gets cold and very painful.

Are you sure ? I did the same move playing defense. LOL Was a sweet play for sure by the kid.

What do you mean by staggered ? The one with 2 handles you turn with 2 hands ? I found them the best IMO. My rotater couldn't take it anymore, that's why I went with the electric set up years ago. If it,s the 6" I am interested. Will pm. Edit to add, the folding ones are the first models.

Have yet to step foot on any ice here Simon. Maybe this Sunday. Nice fishes by all. What were the shrimp hitting ? LOL

Go to your local MP.. He,ll push it for ya. The app,not SALLY. LOL

I know, LOL

100% true story Ever have one of those, stay or run feelings ? I had my 6 month eye check up by the specialist this morning. I am always early just to see if I can get in and out and get those darn drops out of my vision system. Blind for an hour it would seem. So like any other visit,I am early. Walk down the hall and go and open the door . I see black and then the loud alarm sirens. Oh crap this is not going to be good. I look up along the hall way for cameras. Then I think to myself,wait,my finger prints are on the handle. Do I run ? Do I stay ? Lady comes out of the office next door. See,s me and I say I just open the door . She says they don't open for another 1/2 hour and I get the " criminal look " stare. I say I did nothing wrong. She then says, THE POLICE WILL BE HERE VERY SOON. HMMMMM, do I stay, or do I go ? With the alarm still going off, I am waiting for the blues to show up anytime . I knew I would not be in trouble, but all that went through my head was a cop showing up with gun drawn. Do I stay ,or do I go ? So I decided I best just stay, sit down in the hall with my hands on my head ., Learning from all those you tubers,I had my cell in hand and ready to hit record. 10 minutes goes by and no one shows. Alarm shuts off. Ok, maybe GIT turned it off . That was the sticker on the door for their security system. It,s now 8:32. I am still in the hall,no one else around . Do I try to open again ? Ah no. I knock 3 times and wait. Someone opens the door and I am asked why are you knocking ? OMG REALLY ? After telling the gals what happen, ( They had no clue what happen ) they tell me, oh ya, the cleaners sometimes forget to lock up. My doc comes in the room and says he got a call about the alarm going off. I said ya,I set it off . He says, that was you ? I said ya, Sorry about that . He says no charge for the visit today. I laughed and said cool. Both chuckle as it,s covered by OHIP. Best part of the whole thing, no blues showed up and me eyes are doing well . Just need to chill more and keep the blood pressure down so I do not get those stupid retina migraines.

What kind of bird you got Dan ? Nice hangs BTW I have read and heard that the electric grinders make the meat to fine or mushy. Care to share your takes Doug and Dan ?
