Great looking greasers!!

I made a stove exactly like that about 10yr ago for my hut. lol Worked great. I used those "java" logs that you buy in the grocery store.

Oh, great report and pics too!

looks like a great time had by all!

Ice thickness??? 3"+-

Friday is was 3.5-4.5......by monday I had the ATV out on 6" of good black ice.

 

Thx for the report.

Just wonder if you caught lakers on bottom or off the bottom say 10 ft up?

Always off bottom when using the tube.

Beauties! That is an awesome day of fishing. I've never be able to go out for lakers on Simcoe... as I'm always heel-toeing my gear around. What kind of fishfinder are you using? Is it a humminbird?

It's the Lowrance x67c.....

Great report! It was definitely a zoo out there.

awesome pics!

Eastern lands unknown, Time and man alone, Searching!!!!!............ and Xanadu found. Awesome report!! The lyrical mastery of that track is the cherry on top!! Thanks for sharing.

One cannot beat RUSH at any time of the day.

Great report and video , love the lakers What do think of those rapala R type rods ? I guess it handled those lakers pretty good , I was thinking on getting one .

I'm loving the r-type rods. Grabbed 6 last year in various sizes. 32mh, 36h and 42h. I like the 32mh for in the hut and the 36h for outside. they have a great handle and big eyelets.....and tons of backbone.

It's got lots of good karma!! Let's make sure we get out this year bud.

For sure, Bill!

Those are some nice fish man!!! Still gotta crack my Simcoe cherry this year.

Thx Bill.....recognize the floater suit???? It's been a good luck charm.

beauty work, A1 vid in my mind, some nice looking fish. mostly on the grey silver tube? and i can relate when you say your "normal" fishing buddy. i think "usual" fishing buddy would suit mine a little better than "normal" haha.

Very true!! They've been hitting the new TriggerX Goby tube like crazy!!

Well I'm sure all of you know it was complete mayhem out there this weekend so I figured I'd put in my 2 cents worth. I went out the entire weekend, met some board members out there and fished with my "normal" fishin' buddy, Todd. Had a blast as always hooking into lots-o-lakers. Todd managed one whitey for table fare and I went 0-4 on the buggers. I know all of you like looking at the fish porn so here ya go. It's pic heavy and in no particular order. I also threw in a little video. It's my first attempt with Sony Vegas or any other editing software so be gentle!

Cheers,
Colin

Lots of "loonies" fishing through 7" of ice over at VB and PB on Saturday.

A boat is usually the best way to hit open water in the middle of January. LOL. Just messing with you

 

Congrats on the nice fish. My boat is stored but that would have been very cool.

I am assuming you achored?

Yeah, we were anchored. My arms and back are still sore from pulling up 160ft of rope and steel. lol

Sweet. LAKERS A TANK.

What was in the stomach of that fat whitie? GOBYS?

Brian,

I thought it would be crammed with either gobies or minnows but it was just it's air bladder that was full.

Wow! Very nice, congrats! How many FOW did the whities come out of?

That whitey might not be 36" but it's certainly 27+ which is a good fish in anybody's book.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Roy,

we got the whiteys in 128FOW. Felt like we were reeling forever to retrieve them.

My original plan was to head north with Kenzy31 (Jesse) to search for some back lakes but with the weather being less then favourable for icefishermen, we had to cancel. I got a call late in the week from my buddy, Todd saying that he was pulling his boat out of the barn and wanted to know if I was in. "I'm in".....flu and all.
We got to the launch at around 8am in Barrie and were surprised to see all the boats. Guess we weren't the only mental ones. We got the boat in the water and made the 13km run out to the mouth of the bay. Conditions were pretty good, with it getting choppy only when you leave the bay due to the south winds.
The fishing wasn't too bad. We ended up with 2 lakers, which went back and 3 whiteys for the table. All whiteys were taken with a Williams and the lakers with a white tube.

Here's the porn......

Todd's whitey....a nice long one. 36" according to his tape. hahahaaha

My Whiteys

...and here's the tank I got. We figure it went about 15lbs.

Cheers,

Colin

I had a run in with a fox one day while working on Base Borden. Came right out in front of me so I kind of stomped my foot and yelled at it. Well didn't the little bugger charge me. Came right up to within 5ft then turned and ran off. I almost had to use the "boot wrench" on him.

I stopped in a Dick's Sporting as well on a recent trip to the States and got the same deal as well. Can't beat the price, that's for sure!

You should be able to sell it for 10X the amount since it's an antique now.

Nice! We got our son the same camera for x-mas this year as well. He should put it to good use on his trips to costa rica......since he wrecked my camera going in some waterfall or something the last time he went. lol

I have petro points, esso extra and aeroplan in my work truck. I put in approx $120 every day and a half(not my $$$...company gas card). I use my petro points for gas cards for my oldest son(university student), esso extra points for cases of water and havent checked my aeroplan miles yet. lol

update......just grabbed a GoPro Hero 2 motorsports edition from Henry's. $245 and free shipping was a good deal I think. Can't wait to put it to use at work and at play.
