got to wonder if the it wont happen to me theory happened with this guy? unsafe ice all over southern ontario im actually surprised there hasnt been more guys missing so far this year. I hope he is ok and my thoughts are with his family!

16 in the summer can get pretty thin. the nicer pools in the summer are on bronte. watch the regs though some areas like lakeshore to rebacca is a santuary. I grew up fishing both and all the bigger bass I have caught have all been clsoer to the mouth. My biggest creek bass is a little over 4 pounds. I have personally seen and weighed a 6 1/2 pound smallie for a guy caught at the mouth of bronte in about 2 feet of water. the guy was casting a about 15 years ago i used to fish the 16 at glen abbey golf course before they were anal about walking the shores down there. There were a few decent pools but it is now at the point were its not worth the hassle. Same as lions valley, its closed this year for bridge construction but its so busy its more frustrating then enjoyable. personally though. the best river is the credit. 10-15 minutes down the road you are fishing one of the most underated rivers in ontario. It is heavily fished but if you find the right times it can be queit and a great time! Cheers!

glad we are reading your report and not your obituary. play safe cheers!

good for our boys!!! now to think we had 6 more kids that could have played but are in the nhl. shows how awesome canadians are at hockey! cheers!

i heard about a crack this morning on nip. im hopeing to get some pics of it emailed to me, apparently every year there are some pretty crazy pressure cracks on the ice on nip. be safe all! Cheers!

my bday is on the 17th so i will take the long weekend bday! first time for that. Seriously though I would rather see this holiday mid july instead. It sure would make working the summer easier if we had a long weekend may 24, july 1, july 15, civic first week august, labour day but hey for the ice fishing guys im sure this is great! Cheers!

corey i understand your frustration with non smokers giving you a hard time. its your choice not anyone elses. used to drive me crazy too. however you being upset about this being a fishing board and the post not related to fishing. this time of year majority of posts are non fishing and danbo clearly stated warning graphic pics and smoking related. if you dont want to read the non fishing related treads then dont read them. i personally have learned alot of things from peoples topics on this board that had nothng to do with fishing at all. and many memebrs here enjoy the nf posts because they find it entertaining. Hope you have a great weekend! and just think in about 4 months soft water season will be here and all the nf posts will be put to bed for the fishing reports until this time next year lol where im sure we will do this non fishing vs fishing related topics all over again. Cheers!

3-0 final. good game. its nice to see these games. you kind of get the idea of who will be in the next world juniors and maybe an early glimpse at future super stars in the nhl. Cheers!

sure hope everyone reads this topic. be safe cheers!

my boss lives on kempenfelt bay in barrie and he said there was open water all holiday long. its going to get worse with the warm temps coming. you may have to go north to a smaller lake to get good safe ice. Cheers!

2 things 1 floater suits will increase your chances of living 100 times if you go through the ice. It allows you to float and gian your composure to get out of the ice. The next thing is until the ofsc clubs stake the trails I wouldnt venture out on the ice. The trails are not open if they are not safe.

i quit 3 years ago next month. Its been over a year since i quit caffine to! Feel way better and have way more energy! Cheers!

i know a bunch of people up around simcoe that sled. My boss put on 1000 km over the holidays and he never ventured out on ice at all. It just makes no sense why anyone woudl risk there life on ice when they know it wasnt safe. All the best to the families who will be asking this same question for the rest of there lives.

oh oh not looking good. hope they find them safe and sound

what a beast! Cheers!

great bait! Cheers!

that was a crappie report! lol ok that was cheesy but good report nice slabs for sure! Cheers!

great pics thanks for sharing! Cheers!

great news glad he is home! Cheers!

i talked to a fireman at wades landing marina in south bay of lake nip last summer and he told me his snow machine broke down at 430pm in the middle of winter about 3 miles out. he was lucky enough to be about 1000 yards from a shore line so he camped out and light a fire with his water proof emergency matches. he swears he would have been dead without them. Just goes to show you you can never be to safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good on you for thinking of everything! Cheers!

wow im surprised there is 11 inches of ice with the mild temps and rain. good for the hut operators!!!!! Cheers!

that was a pretty cool report. love the surprise while cleaning the fish! Cheers!

very cool, looks like a fun time! cheers!

that is a big slab for sure! cheers!

This morning my wife wanted me to help clean the garage as its rammed full of work catologs from both of us. 2007 out 2008 in. Well i wondered over to bass pro shops with $350 worth of gift cards as a reward for one of the companies i sell for instead of doing the garage. This is what I came home with. A new tackle box and spinning rod with a whole bunch of lures, plastics etc...... to help fill the new box up. Got home and my super cool wife was almost done the garage! Then I had her help me organize my tackle box. What a woman! I think i will keep her for a little while longer! Cheers!
