NAW

Are you working out and taking crank or some kind of supplements?

That would do it to ehh. Crank and Lucky. Yum.. Sounds like fun.

damb. That doesn't look like a simcoe county deer. Wher'd he get that brute.

That looked like a great day on the water.

Congrets on the PBs.

That's getting me excited.

I think I may go build an ice hut.. Maybe two..

I think you’ve answered your own question man. Changing your diet, even in the slightest way, can really change other aspects of your body. Smoking can do the same thing. Everyone is different.

I changed my diet around for a 3 months period (cleanse). I had the worst for a year after that. Not kidding either, and full year if not more...

If I where you, I’d start to eat healthy and kick the smoking now, before it really screws you up. Slow down on the beer too.

I went to the doc several times with my stomach issues. (Well, a walk in clinic, if you consider those guys doctors). They basically laughed me out of the office once I told them how hard I am on my body.

I was around your age when all this happened. I went from 215lbs to 170lbs in three months.

You'll get one Brian,

Where those two signs you took pictures of on the same Simcoe forest tract?? It's weird that they both don't have the big green "hunting permited" signs,.. I love those signs.

Is your canoe stable? I wouldn't be to worried about the weight of the electric motor on the side. If it's not workin out for you, then counter ballance the boat.

Move up to a 500 fan venture and put a 1 1/4" track on it. Very reasonably priced sled and just as reliable but you will never run out of power.

I ran mine with the trail guys for years, throttle squeezed to the bar for hours on end and not a wimper out of it

But then I'd have to spend some money. The Bravo was free

If I where to upgrade, it would be to a two up Yamaha of some sort... Venture sounds about right.. An older one though...

skipped a lot of school on Fridays to head up to the uncle's for another weekend on 6 Mile.

I spent the first 4 years of my life living in Pickle Lake (Northern Ontario) Fishing was necesary there. So I guess that's when I started fishing.

Once we move south, I began spending a few weeks of every summer at 6 Mile at my grandpas cottage. I also fished the Maitland River a few times a week growing up in Wingham.

Some great memories..

I ran a 4Hp evinrude off the side of my canoe for a season. That was a lot of weight hanging of the side. It was a really sturdy canoe.

After that motor blew up, I started running a 36Lb Mini. No issues with weight, or anything like that. It moves the canoe along really good. I put the batt. way up in the front of the canoe if I'm alone. Works good as a counter ballance.

Probably the most dependable listed so far...

My 250 Bravo is so light, my wife could lift it out of a snow bank.

They're great little sleds.

I worry a bit when I'm draggin the hut, and I hit one of those mile long slush beds. Not quite enough power.

That's some amazing work!

I particularly like one from the first group; the one with the leopard on the tree branch. I still think it's a picture..

Some very nice pics..

Thanks for sharing.

Awsome report as usual..

Looks like you've has a great past few weeks.

I don't know if this pic will upload correctly..

This is my first sled. I got it two years ago free from my aunt. Hardly had any miles on it when I got it. Now it's on the ice every weekend..

I hit Simcoe early yesterday for an hour or two. I had to leave before the action started.

It was dead in the morning (7:30 to 9:30). I was in Kemp, and my self and a few others prety well got skunked on the perch. Lots of blue gills and bass though..

^^^ ^^^

They don't jiggle much. To firm to jiggle.. More of a shake

I use the 10Lb Fireline Micro-Ice Cristal.

The odd ice jam when it's really cold. It's not enough to bother me. I use a 6-1/2Lb fl leader for trout and whities.

I would use something heavier if i where going for big pike though..

What species are you going to be fishing for?

I'm planning on building one of these this year.

I'm going to build a separate "stand alone" bench seat that will act as a storage box for my gear. The box will be mounted to the collapsed hut while transporting. Then moved inside, and used as a bench seat while fishing.

I need to think of a quick/easy way I can mount the box to the collapsed hut. I don’t want it to fall off while screaming across the ice at very high speed behind my 250 Bravo..

I might get out on G-Bay after duck hunting Saturday morning. We'll see how the weather is...

Maybe do a little Simcoe perchin on Sunday after deer hunting..

Damb, that soulds like a solid weekend

Do you need to register one of those fold out homemade huts?

I see them a lot on Simcoe. But never noticed numbers on them..

That didn't make my spill my coffee. Close though..

That's great news man. Congrets..

Very cool Glen.

I've fished that stretch looking for them before. No luck for me.. That was in the spring.

I've heard from a few people that they are there though.

Good luck.. Let us know if you get anything..
