Ok im lost here..what is PB? I will no doubt regret asking

Personal Best.

That's beautiful!!!!!!! It's hard being a Leafs fan.

The little lady and I are going out with G2 anglers on Valentine's Day, for a day of "walleye school"...(can't wait Hodgey!!!!!) Anybody else going fishing with their spouse/partner...or would you be shot for even suggesting it?

I just like drilling holes

There are some fantastic operators out there and then there are some that can ruin a fishing trip. Many guys like myself can't afford to get away more than once or twice a year and to end up booked with an outfit that doesn't provide you with a good experience can be a real bummer. It is understood that fishing is fishing and the fish don't always bite but when you book a trip what you should be able to expect is a professional operator, clean, serviced accomodations that are in reasonably good shape and reasonable help and opportunity to catch fish. From what I have read in the past about this outfit, this isn't the case. "retarded" might be a little harsh though!

Agreed, I also don't usually have too much extra cash for "special" trips, so when I do them...I definitely want to be with someone that makes the experience enjoyable. It isn't always about numbers of fish, but, at least provide decent customer service. Anyways, thanks again guys!!!!!

I quit a year and a half ago...and haven't noticed any difference in numbers of fish overall...in fact alot of times I would hook fish while smoking. Yet, I have read that the smell is a fish deterent. Blah, blah, blah...

Just a quick thanks to members who have posted about this operation...almost made the mistake of booking a weekend with them. Then I read some of the horror stories that guys have posted in the past...yikes...guess that would be why they still have openings at fairly short notice.

thanks for the info. thats good to know. i didnt think it would be a problem fishing in a conservation area though. is it closed in the winter or something??

Haven't contacted anyone in authority yet, but, drove by there yesterday and there were at least four parties ice fishing...the gates are closed and you are definitely fishing at your own risk, and, more than likely trespassing. If you are concerned, try getting in contact with someone at long point conservation areas.

When I'm on the road I'm usually listening to my Sirius satellite radio.

Channels 21 or 22.

Or my cd player is most likely loaded with Green Day disks.

Yeah, that's one I forgot....American Idiot is probably the best album of the last decade!!

Some great tunes here...throw in some Teenage Head (old school Canadiana), Violent Femmes, Old Tragically Hip and Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!!!!!!

Oh, man...this is priceless already...I as well don't have to sneak out, I've said it here before the little lady actually joins me for most of my fishing trips!! To anyone that loves fishing, make darn sure your future wife is okay with you doing it, I wouldn't sacrifice my love of fishing for anyone...it is just to much a part of who and what I am!

I would confront the guy and tell him exactly what you just said.

I don't think he would have a problem with that.

BINGO!!! If that doesn't work, and it is bothering you that much, get the police involved. Even though the guy IS a fellow fisherman, doesn't give him the right to trespass...try the nice way first!

Wow, definitely my most responsive and active threads ever. Lot's of great boats and pictures everybody! Really loved to see so much reply's...like over 100!!!

Nicely done, Mike...just goes to show how much we all love our boats! Good luck with yours!

Great post Garry...

 

This may sound stupid but i think i figured out a way around the wild days and no fishing issue. Just find a girl who loves fishing too

You know it...lucky enough to have that...even likes ice fishing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a PIA for me to have coffee in the bush, too much stuff to haul.

 

 

 

 

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! That cow is a real pain in a canoe!!!!!

Sounds like it is worth a try for next years camping...thanks for the heads up. Someone said a buck a pack, pricey compared to others, but, we don't hesitate to pay more than that for a Timmies. Considering pretty much all the instants I have ever taken camping taste pretty much like.........I will give it a shot.

Now, that was an excellent post!!! Very many similiarities to myself growing up. I remember biking to Hiway market in Kitchener, from Waterloo, as a young teenager with my buddy just to check out the fishing tackle. He and I haven't had any contact in years, he turned away from fishing...I grew to love it even more! Thanks, for a great read!

IF THOSE TEMPS HAPPEN I'LL BE BREAKING OUT THE FLOAT ROD AND HEADING TO THE GLEN, AND BY BY ICE GEAR

YEAH, BABY!!!!!!

Good to hear!! I have never personally had a problem with CTC, be it returns or rain checks, and when it comes to stock for their weekly flyers I don't usually have a problem finding things (now Zellers...don't get me started). Enjoy the ice shelter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My baby...finally got it this past September, she ain't big, but, I love her just the same...

Great post, and, beauty specks!!!

I second the thanks to all for input!!! Off to bed...getting up early for some perch on ice...see how my line works out.

No tips from anyone else? What does everyone else put on their reels on the ice?

Would be nice to hear from some of the ice fishing regulars on this one....going for the first time since I was a kid tomorrow...already have the ice line, but, curious as to what others think.

Makes me think of a comment a co-worker said the other day. She didn't see any kids playing outside during the Christmas holidays...it's said how many kids these days are sucked into a videoscreen (as I sit here typing this looking at one, lol).

Yes, teach your kids or nephews or nieces to fish or hunt...can't wait until Sunday, taking the three boys ice fishing for the first time. Don't force it on them, but, give them the option...you might end up with a fishing buddy for life!!!!!
