Anywhere from bottom to 12 feet up.... ..still working HD ??

Good stuff Matt... I hope to hit a couple speck lakes next weekend myself !

I'm content just hitting "view new posts" !!

Exactly.. as would being in your laneway... a store parking lot etc. I'm sure it's written into some policies... but not mine as far as I know. Most of the extractions on the towing website Matt posted are insurance jobs. They bid on the tender just like I do to retrieve crashed airplanes. Just imagine 600 man hours @ $50 to $120 an hour + equipment time.

Doing well on Browns as well I hear and the path is beaten in.

An urban Myth.. started by an insurance broker... Read the fine print of your policy and see if it excludes coverage when not on an assumed road. They have done it in some sled and ATV policies... but I haven't seen it on, at least my, vehicle policies. Apparently there is a new wrinkle with the labour board for bringing vehicles up. Diver must be not only commercially certified.. but there is a new CSA (or some similar) requirement to be registered. A few Temagami divers just found out the hard way that they can't help recover the Kia and could have been grandfathered if someone had of told them prior to 2005. Now they have to take more diving courses if they want to do this kind of work. Matt.. your tow company divers my be in the same boat! Also sounds like the Kia occupants were extremely lucky. They (3) got out UNDER water after it went to bottom in 18 FOW.

Maybe it's a sign Scott... no need to go there !

Now you're thinking bud ! Now about next weekend... can we go for some real fish. LOL

Here's a picture of a GREAT neighbour... lol

Welcome to OFC John.. good to have another on the lake for conditions and such to pester! lol I should have stipulated that 18KPH was in December when the ice was a bit thin and I only have 4 islands to go from the town dock. Driving across the ice at that time even caused the boat house we go by's tin to rattle. Sure we go a tad faster when things are thicker and there's a maintained road which insures pretty good ice but I always slow down well short of the access point. You may never see the wave.. but it does errode the ice from beneath.. which can be seen come spring when the only thing blown apart is the access area at town.. yet you can still drive off of the lake at Temagami Shores. Part of this, as well, could be salt coming off vehicles entering onto the lake of course Last week I was fishing on another lake with about 10 inches of ice. Sleds travelling down the lake at high speed, a good 2000 feet from us, caused the water to rise up and down in our holes by an inch or so every time they flew by. If sleds can case that water movement.. 3500 to 6000 lb vehicles sure can as well.

One funny lookin rainbow trout boss... Thanks for the readin material...

Legal

Why I suggested wrapping a rag around it. If it breaks.. it's in the rag. Could hold a bucket under it as well...

Same corvette style wheel on both.

Great stuff fella !! ..looks like a Monty Carlo wheel....

Nope and Bruce didn't think about his either landing to check on the guy !

Great stuff Ben ! What no pic of the CO??

Just a keying mistake Mike ....

..or eat it quick! lol

Well the story is... My Neighbour was out for a flight and saw a guy on a sled that he thought was looking for a way across Midland Harbour. He came around again and noticed the guy was lying beside his sled.... so he called 911 on his cell and then landed on the ice. Taking the chance of losing his airplane to check on this fella that was apparently taken away by ambulance. He had hit a pressure crack/ or the mess made by the ship and got thrown off the sled.

Ahhh... it only tingles for a MINUTE !

Dang... you went fishing Terry? Where is the report.... Steve... what are you holding that auger down with?
