Terry

looks like you had a great time up there it's a dream job I never managed to do....

welcome aboard

good report

well I like to use them with a little piece of worm maybe half to one inch sticking out past the hook I use them when the mayfly hatch is happening..... I think it looks like the larval form of the fly....it works but don't tell anyone

I switched most of my rods to more limber rods, fiberglass rods work great for me with braids spring jigging for whitefish I notices many people were losing them when they got to the surface...after some checking I realized the people losing them were using braids put 10 feet of mono between the braid and the lure and I quit losing them at the surface as did the guys I fish with the same is true icefishing 10 ft of mono solves a lot of problems.....oh well there goes my secret advantage

that was pretty funny

it was a long wait for the photos but well worth it nice pictures

great info thanks I am going to put all the info and tips to use

I wish him well but his party, well that a discussion for another time

nice and here I am drive by to go to a fly-in better I don't catch too many that nice...........oh well we will see

I see nothing over my HDS5..except on screen showing how far your signal goes out on bottom the only real-time color LCD sonar unit ..bull what modern unit isn't real time on mine when I lift my jig it goes up the very nanosecond I start to lift it and same going down...can get more real time then that it's a nice unit but I don't like flashers

I like being stopped by COs I don't like being stopped by Cops on LakeSimcoe there are 7 different forces and they don't talk to each other about the 7th time I get stopped on a weekend I lose it but the COs ...happy to see them

nice walleye

yeah doesn't rally stop line twist but bait casters handle twisted line much better

use a small baitcaster will help too

sounds like a great time and nice fish

I am sure we just jinxed that

nice fish

nice pictures

I love it but I really want the hds8...maybe a 7 but I have been using 7 and 8" older coloured units when I got the 5" hds I found the screen a little small then add the side scan and gps and it's not big enough..I went back to my 25c for the gps giving me a 7" screen then just the fishfinder and scanner on the hds 5 helps but still too small for me...hds8 will be great.. but the hds5 is the best portable icefishing fishfinder I have ever used....I would take it over and flasher or finder for the ice

yeah but all my boat problems were not of my making a coil that cut out and water in the trolling motor................my boat ran great today.. so did someone look at the boat

nice going

I have been wearing the same bluewater optics of well over 25 years and doing fine.....it was/is a great investment

I am on vacation now.. on Friday I drive to Wawa and fly in to a week of fishing walleye and pike

white goes to + of batt 1
