I guess I never really thought about that... don't drill holes too close to parked cars. Awww, and I like fishing off of my tailgate. .... Should I stop?

This unseasonably warm weather has created a new opportunity for this time of year. A week ago Sunday there was a snowmobile zipping down the lake, this weekend that was not possible, but this was .... http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p304/pa...en/P1000528.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p304/pa...en/P1000529.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p304/pa...en/P1000530.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p304/pa...en/P1000531.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p304/pa...en/P1000532.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p304/pa...en/P1000533.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p304/pa...en/P1000535.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p304/pa...en/P1000537.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p304/pa...en/P1000538.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p304/pa...en/P1000539.jpg

on the inside or outside?

Anything that tugs my rod, I'll take.

And they are a great way to achieve a looooooong cast !! Tie a line to that thing. Would that be legal?

You caught more garbage than fish !!

The guy with the neon got lucky.

we're going to have problems

mistyriver1, was that last year? why did that happen.... simply too thing of ice for the weight, or did the water level drop and ..... Entropy

After reading, http://www.nugget.ca/webapp/sitepages/cont...name=Local+News I’m worried that this year might be full of ice related accidents and tragedies. Can you recall some ‘notable’ problems with ice in the last 5 years.....? Was it two years ago when all the cars and trucks went through the ice on Simcoe, right near shore? Entropy

That would be illegal ...

Dec 14 (evening) Was able to walk on the ice, it is getting thinner and softer. I’d say there is only 1.5 inches of ice on it now. I’m sure the ice thickness, or presence f ice for that matter across the different parts of the lake. Honestly I’m surprised it held me, and I did not get wet.... It only took 3 hits with the driveway scraper (3-4 inch blade) before I broke through. No canoeing tonight, well, not at least in front of my house. I would think local creeks would be flowing (haven’t checked though). 16 Days 14.75 Hours Entropy

Well I didn't make it there, had to finish some X-mas shopping. Anyone go?

Neighbour guy came walking by at about 10:30 last nigth, said he was a watch'n the show. I think he had a few too many.

Saw a couple last night ! Anyone else?

I’d be tempted to mount it on the bottom of your toboggan !! If it’ll shoot through the hull of a boat a bit of ploy. won’t be a problem..... “What would that look like?” Keep it mobile.

Just getting a handle on this photobucket thing.

Dec 11 (evening) There is still 2 inches of ice, still have not broken through, it is a bit slushy on top ... It might hold up till warmer temps. 17 Days 15.5 Hours Entropy

"X-FLARE: Sunspot 930 erupted again this morning, producing a strong X3-class solar flare. The blast triggered an ongoing radiation storm and probably hurled a coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth. Auroras are possible when the CME arrives on Dec. 14th or 15th. Note: The radiation storm mentioned above is of moderate intensity and, unless it strengthens greatly, poses no threat to astronauts orbiting Earth onboard the International Space Station or the space shuttle. The astronauts are protected by the walls of their spacecraft as well as by Earth's magnetic field."

The Geminid meteor shower peaks tonight. Start watching around 9 p.m. local time on Wednesday, Dec. 13th. The display will start small but grow in intensity as the night wears on. By Thursday morning, Dec. 14th, people in dark, rural areas could see one or two Geminids every minute. Visit http://SpaceWeather.com for meteor observing tips, sky maps, and updates about solar activity.

No not Santa. Just read yesterday’s newspaper, take a look. http://www.durhamregion.com/dr/regions/scu...p-4408245c.html

Dec 12 (evening) Checked the ice, there is still 2 inches but with a driveway ice scraper it only took four hits to break through. Very soft ice. When I stepped out on to the ice it definitely cracked under me. Stay off. Danger. It was so warm last night I was only wearing a t-shirt when chopping fire wood. The driveway was more than a little mushy, it has defrosted! I asked my neighbor 2 questions. #1 Do you think this ice will melt? Answer –> No, not completely. #2 When do you think it will be safe to venture out onto the lake? Answer –> Sometime during the first 2 weeks of January. At lest we are not complaining about shoveling the snow. I actually thought about throwing some grass seed down, with the next 5 days being warm and wet, it would likely sprout. 18 Days 13.5 Hours Entropy Waiting for the ice this year is like watching grass grow ..... Pass the Fertilizer !

yup, check the map detail setting.

Dec 11 (evening) : checked the ice, there is still 2 inches, but any holes cut over the weekend are still open. I took a chipper with me (spud) and the ice feels very soft, in fact it is taking on a ‘honeycomb’ appearance. There is some water pooling on top of the ice. I really wonder it there will be any ice left by this weekend. 19 Days 13.5 Hours I’ve got the canoe ready if need be. Entropy
