HH is correct. I know cuz I caught one on the weekend. And he said nice Pickereye.

A Newfie is walking home kicking old bottles, when a genie pops out of one. "I can grant you three wishes," says the genie, "so choose wisely." The Newfie says "Give me a beer that’ll never run out." A bottle appears in the Newfie’s hand and he downs it, but when we pulls it away from his mouth it’s still full. The happy Newfie continues walking home. The genie says "Hey, you still have two wishes left!" "Oh," says the Newfie, "gimme two more of these then!" An Ontarian, an Albertan, and a Newfie are running from the cops. They run into an alley and see a pile of sacks, which they decide to hide in. The cops follow them into the alley and kick the bag with the Ontarian in it. The Ontarian goes "meow!" and the cops go "Ah, it's just a bag full of cats." They kick the bag with the Albertan in it, and he goes "woof!" and they're like, "OK, dog in a bag, whatever." Then they kick the bag with the Newfie in it, and he goes "potato!"

I,ll take a dozen of them 10 inch smelts over a whitie. YUM YUM. What a great ice season we have had this year. Think we started in early Nov and have not looked back. OH CANADA HOW THE ICE SHOULD BE.

Steel roofs are more common these days just for this thing not happening. Sure their loud when it,s a heavy down pour or hailing,but the snow slides right off.

Holly crap Wayne. Thats unreal. Lots of snow this year. Is it possible the roof wasnt built correct?

Looks like we went one week to early Cliff. LOL I was enjoying the 6:30 am sun rise. Dang,dark going to work again.

Special effects vacation. LOL Stay safe dude.

You rigged that up just nice. I,ll bet it was easy in those temps.LOL

Not a nice way to start my day off reading this Lew. Sorry to hear. I do know the feeling as you know. Time will be your best friend.

Welcome,Another river rat.

Now thats funny right there. Thats the one I want Dave. Sweet buy.

LOL Tip up town. Is that after the tip up stick,or the tip up bottle? LOL I will say one thing,you guys have lots of ice up there.

If you think that was bad Joe, next time I,ll bring up some blood pudd,n to fry up..LOL We did have some great laughs on the weekend.

You.ll get use to it. Some think they can get to me with their newfie jokes. I just say bring it. is that the best ya got? LMAO

Back to work today,I wish I hadnt left the white house. A few months back,when I first met Bernie for the first time,I was asked to attend the winter gathering of the clan. I was honored,but wasnt sure if I could. Received a note stating the date,ask for the time off and was granted. I was going to cash in that golden ticket invite. I thought the date was going to mean nice warmer temps and siting out in the sun fishing with the byes. WRONG. LOL Friday morning comes and I,m woken up by the mrs,s saying,you know it,s -40 up there today? I replied,thats ok ,I,ll be toasty warm in my hub. So pack up the Avenger at 7am and I,m off. Just as I get on the hwy,I noticed I forgot a couple of things. DAMIT. Get off at the next ramp and head back to the condo. Mrs,s opens the door with my hat and two bags of smelts in hand. One for my mudder and pops,the other for the byes for saturday breakfast. Ok,good to go now. Knowing the meet up for lunch was 11:30 ish,I had lots of time,so just cruised up at a nice pace.90 km on cruise. Watching for road side wild life. Txt the byes from pops house,they are close to hook up in Katrine. When they get there,they honk and were off. Not sure if HH was driving fast,or just trying to see if the Avenger could catch up to them. Hey,look in yer rearview. Yup,I was bumper drafting in no time. So a short drive up to Kudos for lunch,we park and met up. Wil I have met before,but Joe and Cliff and this fella named Rubin I have not. 3 more off the bucket list. Rubin was a hit right off the bat.Funny funny guy. So after lunch,it was time to get to the white house. I wasnt sure about this so called ice road,but I have driven the Avenger through a foot of snow,so I was ready. Get to the boat launch. A couple of rolling hills. Easy does it,and Im on flat grounds. Lets giver Joe. As I follow Joe out,the ride is smooth. Then we hit a few snow blown cover spots. It was a piece of cake. As we make our travels on the ice road,Im starting to think,how far do we have to go? Once we got to the main lake,(so I thought) I thought we were close. Nope,a bit more ways to go. Once we get to the cut off,I could see our landing spot. Joe makes a quick (RIGHT) and I followed suit. A bit of snow to get through,but we had made it. Bernie had plowed a nice parking lots for us and even made a spot for the Avenger right at the front door. Nice machine Bernie. I want one. We were greeted by Bernie,and start to get all unpacked. Being the newbie,I just took my time,as I didnt know my place yet. All the rooms were taken,but hey,there was a nice compfy couch in my view. I,ll take it.Im easy. That wasnt meant to sound like,Im easy fellas. I was told there would be some fishing,but once I was all set in,I wanted to hit the hard water. I was told the walleye were easy pick,ns and we would be back in an hour with limits. Im stoked. So Wil and Cliff and Rubin make the move and Im ready to go. Dinner wasnt til 6:37 so we had a couple of hours to kill. So off we go. . It was a nice sunny afternoon. No wind. I pull out the cordless drill and augar. Start my first hole. As Im drilling,Im thinking to myself,I am usually through by now. 3/4 of the auger is down,then more,then more. Just as I get close to the ice with the disc(1/2 inch) I break through. 3+ft of ice. That was just crazy. I was still able to drill 8 holes on one battery. Even I was impressed. So we all start to fish. Set up the X4 marking fish right away. It took a bit to get the first hit,but Wil managed to get the only one that got landed. I had one that followed and hit my Williams,but couldnt hook up. As Im showing the guys the rewind on the finder,I get hit again and mis. MISFISH is my name.LOL Once the nice warm sun set behind the trees,the cold temps got to us. Time to pack up and head in for dinner and friendship. When we arrived back,we were greeted with the smell of a great roasting beast.Joe was the chef this night. Taters and greens and a nice roasted prime roast. After a few festives and a great movie,it was time to have a nap. Being a new place to me,it was a rough sleep. Up every hour and stoking the fire place .Not complaining here. I was the new guy. Once 5 am rolled around,I was wide awake. Not a sole was stiring. No prob. Turn on the tv and have a coffee. I was told there was a Bernie time wake up. So at 7am I start the frying of breakfast. I start with the smelts. I thought forsure if these guys smelt, something cooking,they would awake. Guess it only works at the deer hunt.LOL So once Bernie Oclock comes along,the byes start to awake and come out. Ok,it,s getting close to fishing time now ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Nope . I hear that the high sun pushs them in the mud,so the bite will be slow. Then I hear the wind has them shut down too. Ok Im the new guy but know better. Then the word I was waiting for comes. Guess we should atleast give it a go. We all load up and were off. FINALLY. Get all drilled and got the hub set. Lets fish. Marking lots again. I fish with the Williams again and have a minnow down on the second rod. I mark a fish coming in and wham,Minnow rod bends,fish on. Turned out to be a dicey one near the slot limit. Not willing to take a chance,it was a quick pic by Cliff and down the 3+ ice tube it went. Wind picked up so,some of the fellas headed back in,while Cliff,Wil and I stuck it out for another hour or so. Marked followers but nothing taken. Since it was my turn to cook dinner,it was pack up time. Bernie trusted me to drive back his truck and trailer. I wasnt sure about that,but I just followed Wils tracks. We get back and it,s time to create the jigs dinner with a roasted chicken for the byes. Watched some nascar while it was all getting giddy up in the pot. get the table set and it,s dinner time. Me thinks they liked it. We enjoyed our night after with some tunes from Joe and Cliff . I was finally getting relaxed and got the meaning of this whole gathering. I was relaxing very well. I was so relaxed,I slept in til Bernie time sunday morning. Bernie plowed out the drive so I could get on my way home. Thank you sir. So what can one say about spending a wek at Bernies? PRICELESS. Thanks again for the invite,and thanks for the great new friendship byes. I had a great time. PS. We need to work on the plumbing. LMAO. From one nascar left turn guy to another,thanks Bernie. If I mis spelled,I have been typing this for over an hour and dont have spell check. LOL I leave you with this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
