After today I feel confident I'll be on the ice by the weekend locally. Thanks for the replies.

The kawarthas are a 4 hour drive and a weekend stay for me.. lol

I know we still got a little ways to go, but checked waterford a couple days ago and its all covered in 1/2" of white garbage ice. Anywhere a little further along?

Puslinch had a lot of ice access cut off, still do-able but takes a lot of walking. I'd personally go to shades over puslinch if all you want is some hammer handles.

Good job, nice fish, nice pics.. always the highlight of the year here Bunk!

All the greatest fishing and fortunes in 2013!

Valens can be good.. takes a little legwork nowadays, but still produces.

There is also pinehurst just down the road .. good for some rather decent panfish action.

Haha, that one was far from subtle.. lmao

Yeah i've never seen people asking the victims of avalanches to pay for rescue services.

Mine has landed two southern ontario pike most people dream of, and one day catch at a fly in lodge in northern manitoba. No complaints about it. After 5 years heavy use, i moved and left my other one in the garage, otherwise im sure i would have used it another 10.

I've had mine since they came on the market.. works just fine for me never had an issue with it. Just wish I had opted for a tablet with a larger screen.

Welcome aboard!

Generally, people are ridiculously misinformed about pike fishing the grand. There's tons in all stretches from kitchener down.

Trickle charge once every two months in the off season i say

It's a sanctuary til trout opener.

I have an everstart and an optima bluetop, and prefer the 80 dollar everstart. Simpler, efficient, works great.

The fish was caught under a different country's sets of laws for capture, and taxidermy. He's perfectly legal to sell it here as it already passed border patrol years ago, legally. I doubt he concealed that thing in the vehicle to get across. Cool story for sure. If it were me I think the story would be more similar to Brad Paisley's "I'm Gonna Miss Her" lol

Yeah dude, definitely dont pay a delivery charge for something not being delivered. For that statement they should be paying you.

Yah. Totally different thing.

If you go bullet go brass over lead or heavy tungsten. A bell is like a bullet but curves and narrows at the top, like a bell. Usually brass.

I made a joke. Others got it. You lighten up. He replied and said he ACTUALLY had all that stuff. So I steered him right, intentional or not.

Thats awesome. Truly LOL'd

I gotta take the Triple Threat's side on this one. Put a heavy little bell in front of that big blade to get your distance and depth. Also helps with line twist on big blades, not sure why.
