I think you did the right thing if you were not entirely sure how to do the job yourself. I would have done the same!!

LOL...if I knew where it was going to be, I couldn't tell you anyways. Thankfully I dont know the location....LOL. I think we are doing this every Monday in the month of Feb...not 100% sure though.

Ahh okay then! I remember you now! Hope you had a good show!

OUCH!!!! I think you made the right call...sounded pretty exciting there for a while!

I dont think it'll be the LAST cold night, but I'm really hoping it is!!! At any rate, overall the temps will begin to rise again....PHEW!!!!

OOPS!!! LOL...sorry bout that!!! So, when you do go out, do your friends make you walk first???

LOL...great read!!!! I was laughing out loud in my office. Good on you to stick it out though...at least you caught something! Awaiting Tarpus Maximus - The extreme wind version soon!!!

Awesome stuff Pam! I always love seeing your posts of your work.

Awesome report and great pike there! The view on that underwater cam was cool too. Sorry to hear about the fish fry on the ice, but at least you got a few nice meals at home to look forward to! Where were you fishing if you dont mind me asking....not asking for exact location, but GPS coordinates would be great....LOL. I was just wondering what lake...hehe.

Nice pike! The way I look at it...blurry pics are better than no pics!!! Thanks for the report.

Nice job there!!! Seeing all these fish makes me want spring even more! Tried ice fishing for the first time year and I'm not completely sold on it, but who knows...maybe next year. Great pics and story!

Yeh...I work for Canadian Tire head office...every Monday this month we've chosen one station in the GTA and take 20 cents off per liter. It's pretty good publicity for us...

Would have loved to have gone yesterday, but our babysitter (oldest daughter) was at a friends birthday party from 2 til 9pm!!! Oh well...maybe next time!

Bly and I were there from about 11am til about 3pm today. Here's a list of what we came home with.... - OFAH Family Membership (mocked up magazine cover of us holiding a walleye) - 11.5 foot noodle rod (at 40% off) - 2 Baseball hats from Fishing World - A few glass lures from MacKinnon Tackle Inc..makers of the Muskoka Glass Ghost - 2 pairs of polarized sunglasses - some soft bait from "Tightlines" Not too bad....we figure we spent about 160 bucks at the show.

Nice job! Looks like a nice sink full of perch there to keep you going for a while!

Bly and I are heading to Lakair for the OFC weekend for our first time this year. Should be a blast meeting other members there. We also picked up a bunch of pamphlets at the fishing show today...gotta plan another outing together.

I remember the tall skinny guy...I remember thinking that he may be taller than that blue screen!!! LOL. Were you the guy askin if they had a muskie one? The tall guy had his pic a few minutes later I think. They were actually printing our pic and I think I kept getting in your way....take care Bill!

WOW!! Great report and awesome to hear your son had a memorable catch as well! Cant wait to fish in short sleeve shirts again....Thanks for sharing some of your vacation with us!

Shawn, That's classic about your daughter and the wondering why the fish were not outside...LOL. Yes...saw the LUND as well as all the other boats in there that I cant afford...haha. Sportsmen show...hmm...that could be dangerous...LOL. Talk to you later bud! Cliff

LOL...yes they did!!! They took the pic the first time...we came back an hour later and it was all blurry, so they took another picture. We came back a half hour later to get it and the lady there thought we already picked it up, so she threw it in the garbage....so they had to take a 3rd picture. We were not bothered by it at all...we were laughing about it all. Finally, they told us not to leave...they'd do it right away. They felt so bad they offered us a free subscription to the magazine, but we already have one (and we dont mind cause it came with our OFAH membership and it's a good cause)...so they printed off two pics and gave them to us. Were you there to have your pic too? I saw a few people getting their pics taken. My wife wore her OFC hat so that if there were members of the board there they'd maybe stop us and say hi.

Throw the heaviest guy on the ice and if he doesn't go thru then you'll be fine....LOL. With the weather the way it's been, it's looking pretty good you'll be enjoying some hard water by then.

Great show report Joey! Carole and I headed down there today...it was our first time and we thought it was great! Hope to see you again soon....the swill looked like fun!

Very nice setup there!!! Each version gets better and better. You'll have to sell your design...haha. It's been great seeing the evolution of your wind shield....great stuff there!

TJ....thanks for the 2 tickets to the Spring Fishing Show! Bly and I headed down there today and spent 4 hours checking things out and buying a few things in the process. We bought our family membership to the OFAH, had our pic taken for the cover the OOD magazine, bought those cool fishing hats you mentioned from Fishing World, bought my first noodle rod at 40% off, and a few other cool things. I also won a Muskie shirt with my toonie...LOL. We didn't run into any other OFNers there....exept for CANADIAN COPPER, who was manning the Tightlines booth. We chatted for a little bit...he's a classy guy...gotta get out fishing with him again soon! We read some posts on here about how "bad" this show has become. Since this was our first time at this one, we had no frame of reference, but from what we saw, we loved it! Next year, we'll probably bring the little one to fish in the trout pond! Anyhow, just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks!

My wife and I rented a hut there about a week ago. Had one hit but landed nothing in about 6 hours. It's not just you...most reports on here dont show much coming from the BOG.
