Ryan, Here's my goto bait for pannies..... had lots of success last hard water season Micro jig tipped with Gulp fish fry in white Jacques

Chris, if it's any consolation, I'm in the same boat as you do I live on a side street and the city crew will usually plow the main street first and then get to the side streets much later..... sometimes during the night but most often is when I'm finished using the snowblower. I always have to clean the driveway snowbank twice Jacques

Right on corvy got to feel good about that OFC ROCKS!!!

Thanks Bubbles!!! Nothing special, just Varathane Diamond Wood Finish water based. Varathane oil based is what I used in the past but it took too long to dry in between coats and over time would turn yellow. The water based will not. It goes on white and dries to a perfect clear coat. I also use water based paint and lay a couple of coats. Maybe in your case, you needed a primer coat to have your paint adhere to it Hope this helps you out Leechman

Merci Dan!!! Thanks dizzidevil!!! Thanks Jocko!!! Patience is a virtue and precision is a must.... that is why I created a template for the layout of the holes

Awesome job Drew Quadmobile looks great!!! Now bring on the ice Jacques

Personally I wouldn't go.... I'd wait til you see a report from us first joke joke Kidding aside...... looks like you have 3" inches of good black ice, go for it but don't venture out too far. Have fun Simon and be safe!!! Jacques

Thanks Paul!!! It just might Thanks Kevin!!!

My favorite species to target would be speckle trout...... but I have to be realistic, only can fish for them from April to September. It's the most beautiful fresh water fish I've ever seen, hard to catch and puts up a great fight. On the other hand, bass & pike are plentiful up here, so is walleye..... can fish for bass from mid June to end of March..... pike & walleye from mid May to end of March. I mostly practice CPR but like to keep walleyes for a fry. So to answer your question.... walleyes is the species I could target for the rest of my days Good eats and fun to catch!!! Leechman

cough cough Gatineau cough cough now

No Steve..... I was referring to the Outaouais Valley

Thanks Chuck!!! You're so lucky to be able to target trout.... Up here, season closed late September and only opens in mid April You certainly have a good choice of species to target Tight lines Leechman

Pretty similar situation up here, no where to be found..... the herd seemed to have moved Where.... I don't know Even my brother in law only seen 7 different deers this riffle season.... not normal for this area.... on a normal year, he would see 30 to 50 deers in a weekend alone I think it's due to the increase in deer predators..... lots more bear, wolves and coyotes in the bush now a days. My deer season came to an end mid November.... now waiting for the ice to show up Good luck to ya for the hunt and tight lines Jacques

Thanks anders!!! It turned out pretty good Merci Randy!!! vraiment apprécier

Cool Drew!!! If ya ever make it over in our neck of the woods, let me know We got some of the best fishing lakes the Valley has to offer Jacques

Thanks crankbait!!! It sure can Thanks corvette!!! Thanks jayess!!! That's something I'd like to do too.... get a 1" thick slice of oak or maple and build one from that keeping the bark on the side

Sure will Simon.... she really enjoyed it last year

Thanks Drew!!! What about whities?? Are you planing to go toward Moose Factory for pike?? Jacques

You lucky dawg J/K Over here not much ice so far...... but winds are from the North West and dipping below zero at night. Guess it won't be long now But I still think you're lucky Simon Jacques
