To get it to your destination safely and cheaply you might consider mailing it to an address in Poland beforehand. That's what I did with my equipment when I went to Alaska in Sept.

Totally disagree. It's definitely the tracks of the dreaded............................ MANBEARPIG!!!!

Good old Floyd must seem like a million miles away now eh buddy?

One can only hope.

For some reason this popped into my head.........................the greatest threat that our planet faces..............the deadly........ MANBEARPIG!!!!

This begs the question "why didn't you stop after one then?" LOL! (Unless Dr. Frankenstein is my butcher I won't be trying one anytime soon )

Thanks for sharing your adventures. It's great to see stuff like that being stuck in southern Ont.

Good job Wayne! Do many people ice fish that area?

That'll be a life changing experience Simon! Here's to a healthy happy new arrival that sleeps through the night.

Highest quality but I can't use any of William Joseph's packs, they're all tiny.

Glen the holes were open troughs. We used them as is 'till I (not one of the kids ) stepped into one up to my nads. Then we noticed the covers that he had under the benches... Thanks everyone it really was a fantastic day!

I took my 5 year old daughter Riley, 6 year old nephew Luke and my dad perchin' on Simcoe on Thursday. First off thanks to Sinker for the outfitter recommendation, Tim is a great guy and has really nice huts! Neither one of the kids had been ice fishing before so it was a pretty big deal for them. We were hoping for lots of perch and we weren't dissapointed! It was non stop action for the entire day, no lulls, although not too many true jumbos but the kids didn't care. My dad and I didn't get much fishin' in ourselves, it was pretty much a full time job helping the wee ones. A few shots of Riley and Luke: Luke with his Opa: I did fish a bit myself and managed 1/2 dozen herring in between the perch. Nice to see numbers of them again on Simcoe! Have to admit I was mighty tempted to keep a few for my dead bait rigs later next month up north. They all went back unharmed though.. While it was cold on Thursday there wasn't a breath of wind and the sunshine was brilliant. T'was actually very comfortable outside and in between perchin' the kids played. First they swore they found a frozen dinasaur footprint in the ice : Then it was snow angel time: I took a few short video clips as well. Poor quality from my camera, but you get the idea : <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQYPzOHfhcE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQYPzOHfhcE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQYPzOHfhcE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryFwhu8Wu3Q&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryFwhu8Wu3Q&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryFwhu8Wu3Q&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6Zo_GSHLeg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6Zo_GSHLeg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6Zo_GSHLeg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH1Md-yxQFY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH1Md-yxQFY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH1Md-yxQFY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Our haul at the end of the day : And now for the OFC money shots LOL! Dusted in flour and sauteed in butter with some fresh lemon squeezed on. Mmmmm..... A perfect end to a perfect day! Cheers, Mike

Awesome fish and very cool effects once again!

See?, what'd I tell ya!

I bought an 8lb'er from Canadian Tire in Dundas last fall. At that time they had tons of them...

I see you've been lurking on tss. Extremely lame site BTW . You'd think being from Britain this guy would have a leg up on understanding the mechanics of a centrepin. He doesn't.

Sounds like some great fishing!

Incredible (and inspiring as well ). Looking forward to seeing what the big lake coughed up for you! Thanks for posting.

WTG bud! I was wondering how you guys were making out today. I just got in 15 mins ago myself, the kids had a blast, we caught a ton of perch! Cheers

Not sure if they're big enough, but they're Canadian made.... http://www.deluxewalltents.com/stoves.htm

Wherever you're going you 'aint gonna be portaging that's for sure .

Doubt there's a whole lot of difference in weight between those two. The anniversary reel is 43/4"...

Oh man, I can't stop laughing!! LOL!

Don't worry buddy we won't spill the beans, and definitely use a net! Wouldn't want your girlish hands to get chapped!

HAHAHAHA!!
