-28 degrees! The car’s temp gauge barely made it above the C mark, providing minimal heat on the trip there. Arrived at the spot by 9:30 AM. A thin upper crust did it’s best to stop me from breaking thru at regular intervals into the 4-6” of slush atop 10” of ice. One chilled Catherine, was the deciding factor to leave at 12:30 PM. 3 small Perch caught at 3 different sites in the general area (I kept moving in the hope of finding more cooperative fish) I think the cold temps shut them down, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. I should have left later to arrive around 3:00 PM to fish till dusk, which may have proven more effective. Here’s a couple of pictures:

That's a sober reminder fer the rest of us. A fish or two.. is it worth it? Crazy how with all this cold weather (xcept fer yesterday) the ice remains thin in some areas. Must be the current.

Yeah, I did. Kinda pathetic looking, it's embarrasing.

We're all brothers here. Now share yer toys, or I'm tellin' mom. MOM!!

That Ray is a class act, and his daughter is very well behaved and didn't mention going home even once. I suppose it helped she was oufishing the both of us 2 to 1. Perty good fer a 10 year old! Here is a couple pics..

Apparently Cooks bay on Lake Simcoe will have a chipstand/burger shack on ice starting this week-end.

I doubt it... Everyone has an opinion. Most of our clients are quite happy and we have a lot of repeat business. Hopefully, you can listen to both sides. Ron & Donna Snowfari Adventures

It's nice to know it returned unscathed.

Captain Highlanders?

In a NewYork city apartment a young boy named Josh Morrison (Austin Lynd Myers) watches through his telescope an approaching object coming from the sky. It is a golf ball-sized metal ball which flies through the window of his room and lands in his fishbowl, quickly draining the water. He keeps it and shows it at school in a science class presentation. Some months later, on Liberty Island a massive fireball crash lands. The fireball is actually a spaceship resembling a human (Eddie Murphy). It is controlled by 100 humanoid aliens, each one inch tall.

If that thing was left there, wouldn't that be considered a hazard, and begging fer a lawsuit?
