That's very cool I've never used one of those. I like them with skin on as well so I do the butterfly method afterwards, keeps it all intact and good size portions. Pain to scale though by hand so I usually limit how many I do from my catch lol.

lol!

It sound like an excellent flashlight. I love my 3D maglite but its pretty heavy at times. Wouldn't mind a substitute that takes AAA batteries.

While there is many ways to clean perch, I think the 2 most common ways would be like this: 1) Easiest/Beginner method. This method keeps the rib cage attached but you remove afterwards: Cut behind the gill plates to the back bone, then slide the knife flat against it all the way through the tail essentially cutting off half the fish. You then just cut out the ribs (try to get under the bones but leaving the bit of meat behind it. Then skin it. 2) Standard Method: This method avoids the ribs from the get go. Hard to explain, but it's like filleting a small walleye. Slice around the gills/neck, then slice on the top of the fish behind it's head on the inside of the spine, just a little bit in all the way down until your knife is in line with it's anus, at that point you're past the rib cage and can push the knife right through the fish then slice through the tail. Then you start opening up the fish from the top and slice around the ribs and down under the belly and remove the fillet (No ribs attached). Then just skin it and do the same on the other side. Youtube is your friend though, it's much easier to understand watching videos. This video from 2min onwards is how to butterfly perch, my favourite method. You don't need to scale them, you can just skin them afterwards. Good technique though:

Totally agree, Jays have been the only Toronto organization I've been loyal to over the last 5 years. I certainly hope I can make it to more games this year as well. I don't believe they will top last year's record, I think it will take some tweaking over the next year for the team to gel and come together but the future is very promising. Aaron Hill has to be a bigger contributor at the plate this year in order to have a solid core in the line up I think.

Sure there's some idiots out there like everywhere, but overall most people I've talked ice fishing are just happy to be out of the house. I've always had a good time out there and the 'community' at least on simcoe are usually filled with awesome people.

I don't know but you're going to have to get your board name changed lol

Sorry couldn't tell you, all I know is no one catches anything at Lake Wilcox in the summer so I assume the same thing could be said for the winter.

I agree with this. It folds in to a suitcase, the floor will get damaged or cracked if you drag it out on it's own especially with more weight on it as it's not intended to be a sled. So if you buy it you'll want to rig it with skis or runners. I was going to purchase a clam 2000 myself this year but after testing it out I wasn't too impressed and settled on a pop out (Clam Base Camp - love it btw). I also had difficulty taking it down and putting it back up, the poles are a pain in the ass even with 2 people. $100 is a good price mind you if it's in good condition but a pop out is a lot more convenient if you just get a utility sled that fits it.

I live near Mapleview/Yonge in Barrie and spent just as much $ in Innisfil as most of their own residents (I do my grocery shopping and lunch & coffee runs in Stroud, let alone gas runs and bait/tackle). It's such a slap to the face to those who live in the area for them to keep doing this. Makes me furious. I've been wanting to write to them about this for quite a while, people all over contribute to their town. They offer various services to attract visitors which keeps their local businesses in tact yet they neglect us with cheapshots like this.

The line strength & lure choice would depend on what species you plan to target. If it's panfish, think smaaaalll... a couple of small rapala jigging raps, you can tip them with a power wiggler. Or even just very small jigs or spoons will work. You can tip those with live minnows or small plastics as well.

raaawwwwrrr

Thanks guys for the advice & offer for help. I just wanted to give big props to Clam Corp. for providing some great customer service. I explained what happened and they just asked for my mailing address and are sending me a replacement hub that I broke without any questions! These guys are great and because of that I'll continue to buy from them. They certainly made me happy. Cheers

Peters huts out of Gilford are quite comfortable. He's also a really good guy.

Wooooww... now the top roof hinge broke just trying to pop it up, so it's completely wrecked and won't pop up anymore. Awesome I now have a freaking broken shack without it being on the ice. Unreal I don't understand what I did wrong, I did the exact same thing they show on their video from their site. I've never felt so completely useless before.

Hey Kevin - That's what I keep trying to do, but it won't lay flat for me to do that. When I try to pop the roof/top first the opposite side flips up at me. I'm just I just need some practice and maybe need to work it in a bit. Cheers

Hey Guys, I got the clam base camp, has anyone been successful setting it up by themself? I've found it nearly impossible, I just can't keept he 4 corners down in order to pop up the top, is there a better way to try by yourself? Pretty easy to setup with another person just thought I'd like the possibility of bringing it alone too.

That's freakin' disgusting. Good on ya.

I have an Ontario Corp # and received it as well.

Sounds like Hell's Kitchen. I've had terrible service three times from a certain franchise of breakfast joints (Which after our last experience we don't go to anymore). Super slow service, dirty cups, forgot to give me half my order but then charged me for all of it. Only place I've been too where I didn't leave a tip.

I use a tripod chair from bass pro. I find it very comfortable and very portable. I use it for pretty much all camping/fishing trips. http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Tripod-Chair/product/10210131/-1626008

I'm from the south end and Park Place is going to completely wreck havoc on Mapleview. Also, it doesn't make sense to have future shop & best buy in the same lot. Aren't they owned by the same company?

I've been on the BACK of a sea-doo and it clocked us at 67mph lol. That was a crazy ride. Too bad it was my buddy's dads so we scrambled and reset the "record" off the system. Yea I won't do that again.

Not that this matters, but was your Envoy unlocked, did they break did get in?
