Big Cliff

Or really, really stuck lol.

A small electric trolling motor would solve your problem, the ice won't last long, then just drop the trolling moter through the floor ( you already have the holes) and spend your summer fishing anytime you want to go. Geez I love being a problem solver. 😁

Just slip some pontoons under it, drop anchor, and call it your pontoon boat, there's no limit on when pontoon boats have to be off 😄. You're welcome!

Those are real beauties! For eating to be honest I prefer the 10-11" fish but those jumbos sure fun to catch.

I am hoping to make it,I just hope the lineups aren't like the last time I went, we had to park blocks away and it took us over an hour just to get In the door. Great for the exhibitors but hard on us old farts😄

I am a little leary about doing that, on a previous occasion I was told I should be very careful about publicly posting names. Could be a contributor to the site and I wouldn't want to cause any problems for our group. Pm me and I will gladly share it with anyone that wants to know. As for the fishing, anytime fishing with a good friend regardless of the conditions is a good day fishing. As for the catching, two very seasoned perch anglers who usually can manage to do well even when others cant tried every trick we knew, we caught herring (8 or 9 I think only kept our limit of 4) , even a smelt, but we're only able to bring home enough perch each for a meal.

Went out again yesterday, it didn't work out well. First I guess ive been spoiled, comfortable spacious huts, warm transporters, great service. Yesterday was none of those things, the huts were small, there's no backrest, the seats were narrow and very little padding making for a very uncomfortable day for an old guy like me. No one bothered to check on us for the entire day, in fact they even forgot to pick us up at the end of the day. We saw transporters come and go had all our gear packed up and ready but no one stopped at our hut. Finally at about 5 we looked around and there wasn't a transporter to be seen anywhere on the lake. We phoned the office and just got a voice mail saying they were closed, so I left a message. Thank God someone did get it because at 79 there is no way I could have walked back to shore. They did send a transporter out to get us but it was almost 6 by the time we got back to shore. Made for a very long day for two old friends, and as much as we love fishing I can assure you that if our regular hut operator isn't available we won't be going again. Oh, and the catching wasn't very good either, can't really blame that on the operator but I got the impression the hut hadn't been moved in quite a while.

Just phoned hoping to get out a few more times before the huts had to come off. Answering machine said because of all the snow and ice conditions they have pulled all their huts for the rest of this season. I don’t blame them, it must be pretty bad out there for them to call it quits already.

Really nice, I have been enjoying playing with artificals this winter too and amazed at the success even compaired to using live bait. The only compensation is the smiles on the faces of the people I share it with! Thanks for starting my day off with a smile😊

I just got off the phone with Kim at Tim Hales, they have had to cancel all hut rentals since last Saturday because of all the snow and Kim wasn't sure when they would be able to resume normal operations, everything is canceled for the remainder of this week at least. Even the bomberdiers are getting stuck and once they can get out they still have to move huts...... If you are planning on going out on Simco be very careful, if they are having trouble then emergency services will probably have trouble getting to you if anything did go wrong. Please stay safe, there are no amount of fish worth your life.

And they wonder why CP is loosing money. Over priced, under serviced!

I use to make all my spending money when I was about 12 shooting groundhogs and foxes for local farmers. A box of .22 shells was $0.25/50. I got $$0.25 for a groundhog tail and a whole $1.00 for a fox tail. I had a little single shot cooey no scope or anything, just ramp sights but I started target shooting with my dad when I was 6 and I was taught 1 shot one kill. That was a lot of money back then, I could sometimes earn $4.00 or $5.00 for a whole day of hunting.

Okay, won’t fit the Tucson and my daughter just got new snow tires last year. I’ll see if I can find someone.

Ok, my son is buying a new Tuscon, I might have a buyer. Will let you know soon
