yeah I was there when it happened I felt bad for the carp but it really was a sight to see

LOL no when they are that big, Tybo pulls them through the hole and a fine job he does too

the carp did scare away the perch, everytime the carp showed up the perch ran like hell I guess the walking is good for me there is no season on carp, so corn and away you go it sure would be fun hooking them but I would need to cut a bigger hole

nice going I love catching crappie through the ice but I have never figured out how to catch them on simcoe

I think it's about the same spot where she caught her big carp through the ice.... I will now be able to guide her to some more of them...LOL

oh yeah there were hundreds of them over a 4 hour period some were monsters ..the carp crusaders

more to do with flying then skiing but wow

went to Gilford to check out the ice conditions lots of ice everywhere I check and lots of people out fishing so loaded up the toboggan and off I went I am out of shape and found walking with the big boots pulling the toboggan hard going but I got out a ways drilled a hole and was only 10ft deep, so a quick rest and eastward I go....18ft this time next stop 20 ft and that was enough walking for me I set up the camera and the fishfinder and a couple of rods and my chair..... I wasn't marking any fish so I put a bigger spoon on with a small dropper jig and a 1" gulp minnow and I was able to draw some perch in but by the time I reeled in a fish the small group of fish I drew in would leave and I would need to do some more big jigging with the spoon to get them back.. fishing was slow but didn't feel like moving deeper I had trouble with the camera not a real clear picture and the monitor was worst then the recorded video, so it was hard for me to see that was happening the perch took off fast and some surprise visitors showed up (it wouldn't be a surprise to Joey, she would just catch them) caught a bunch of perch let them all go, I will get a feed of them another day then I had the long walk in ..it's a lot longer walk in then the walk out.. here is a couple of minutes of video....perch and the surprise fish <embed width="600" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullscreen="true" allowNetworking="all" wmode="transparent" src="http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf" flashvars="file=http%3A%2F%2Fvid25.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fc52%2FMrbeee1954%2Fperch2010-2011.mp4"> [media][/media]

the hds 5 works well well it doesn't like shallow water..under 6 ft it takes forever to lock on and if you are doing a run and gun type of fishing it takes a while to boot up the computer in it

and crap like that is way to common these days

nice to see people are getting on simcoe I hope to get out on simcoe tomorrow

600 for the trailer and 250 for the motor and pay the guy 50 bucks to take the boat when he takes the trailer

that would be a good thing for them to use the money on

where do the proceeds go to buy gas for their trucks? LOL

I got out too sure is great to get the icefishing season under way

I will bet you don't know that spot.....I didn't know the spot we were nowhere near anywhere we went before but you are right ..just park near the silver van

nice No shortage of ice... at first I thought you were picking on us that don't have much safe ice LOL

thanks all we were not fishing for the smelt most times when a school goes through you snag them by mistake I guess a small bait and they would bite....

it never went above -5 where we were and was windy at times ..but Lloyd does like it warm...LOL

it's the part that attaches to the auger

Lloyd and I meet at the lake this morning the first spot didn't have safe ice the second spot didn't have safe ice the third spot had safe ice we slowly inched out testing as we went thanks BrianB for the spud it worked great we got out deep enough and set up my first try at using a battery drill on an auger failed.... I had the drill going too fast and it bent the adapter ...sorry Brian my bad...I should not have had it made that long, was about 16" too long, I was surprised that it bent..oh well was marking lots of little fish but they were small, my first fish of the season..... Lloyd was on a smelt pattern, but a big smelt pattern... Lloyd used his hut but I braved the elements we moved around but couldn't get to the good spots but I was out fishing and things were working well the ice adapter kit for my HDS5 worked well can't wait to get out again...next..maybe simcoe... thanks Lloyd had a good time on the ice

1441 How did they know my pin time to change it

I see nothing in the regs.... how the hell are you suppose to be legal when no one no one can understand the rules or they don't print the rules or you can't find the rules

so is there a petition on facebook for us to sign and is there info on what changes he wants, so we know if we agree

it now showed up in their online flyer http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524443306624&bmUID=1292595010859
