There is a guy from Thunder Bay Bobby Baron He also does amazing work I think this artist is also top notch

Was doing a search on google and came across thisI don"t know alot about photoshop but presumably it weighs 23 lbs and was caught in mar /08 in Lk Helen/Steamboat Bay 10 min from my houseWalleys are closed all year in the lower Nipigon River system below Alexander Dam including Lk Helen so my question is if you did catch one that was bigger than the ice fishing record of 18.3 lbs even if you were pike or perch fishing could you enter it Hmmmm

leaving an auger standing in a hole is not a really good idea during cold weather If there is any water on the ice it could flow into the hole and then freeze due to the upper part of the auger in wind chill Don't ask me how I know but i wasn't leaving my auger all nite

My Daughter Mellissa wanted to go fishing today but I was finishing off my ice shack and watching the bait shop My Son and a couple of friends we're at the lake already So I set her up with a rod one orange jig and 4 minnows in a worm container She was back in 45 min with supper for her and the boyfriend I think I taught her well BTW the boys are still out there Go Melly

I have a 99 500 Sportsman and have a similar problem I pulled the drain plug on the recoil side and about 1/2 a cup of water came out Dammed if I know how it got in there I checked all the bolts that hold the recoil on and they were tight and the cap for the pull cord is on and I"m not loosing antifreeze Any ideas

Good eye on that one It"s pretty tough to get a good looking brood stock and yes the lake starts with L One year we fished a lake that starts with S where they had put in some brood lakers averaging 15 lbs We did a couple on the smoker and they were not bad proving the point that a good cook can make a boot taste great

Yes we do have natural brookie lakes I was with 2 friends in a Noname lake , buddie caught a 9 lb"er as soon as it came to the surface I said to my friend hey that's a nice lake trout he said to me There are no lake trout in here( Jaw drop ) I heard rumors of an 11 Lb"er comming outta the same lake It"s about an hour from here There are other natural lake and are usually canoe and over niters

So for everyone that was wondering These Brookies are between 5 and 7 years old that were hatchery fish released to live out the rest of their days They put 700 of them in last May The lake also holds good numbers of splake which average 1-3 years and average 12-14 in we usually let them go unless badly hooked The lake also hold a good population of walleyes with the biggest I"ve seen so far around 8lbs but lots o0f little ones in the 1lb range Rumor has it the lake use to have lakers and the deepest spot is 82 ft so their could be a monster still swimming and eating those little splake

Nope Just Nipigon

So my son and I decided to hit a little lake about 5 min from home -5 no wind perfect Managed 3 sweet brookies Came home for a nice bowl of Turkey Soup Think we"ll go back for the evening festivies So after the turkey soup we went out for an hour I forgot to bring my camera so I had to take the picture in the bait shop Gonna clean these up and give "em to a couple of old folks that can"t get out but love to eat fish That's my Christmas present to them By the way this hen measures 21 in

So we had some balmy weather yesterday with the sorm front high of 0c and no wind I said to my wife drop me off it"s only 6 min from my house and she had some cooking to do anyways Arrived at the lake and 2 of my buddies were already set up going for splake and specks I'm looking for walleyes Drill acouple of holes in deeper water from where they were and ban I get a hit right away just a little bugger Then i see buddy running to his line He get it but I can't see what it was Next thing you know I have another hit and pull up a nice eater 1lb 1/2 There he goes again runnin like Ben Johnson he get it again We're there till 530 and wind them up and head back to the trucks He comes over and shows me these It"s 245 pm Right now and I gotta go Dinners not till 7 Merry Christmas All and I hope to have a good Nite

It ain"t pretty but it drags my butt to where I gotta go I"m thinkin that 150 a year is reasonable I don't PUI or DUI or SUI Just want to be covered when the other guy hits me and it ain't that wide Put yer head down and pinn it Sure to leave ya stranded Glad I have sno shoes They start everytime

I think Titanic is a great Christmas movie Just to let people know what cold water feels like Seriously though Hands down Planes Trains and Automoblies Steve and John together brings a tear to my eye.....

Thanks for the link Just checked it out and seems to have what I"m looking for

So I'm tired of standing in the wind so this year I"m building a shack 6x8 6Ft wall outta 2x2s and 3/8 plywood anyone got any ideas on construction Not looking for fancy just warm

How much for the year???? I deal with Aviva Thats what they told me IT"s tooooo old Then when I said I wanted for fishing They told me a price around 450 because if it goes through the ice then there is salvage and dangerous chemical and yadda yadda yadda I"m sure she is still yappin about it The sled isn"t worth that But it starts on half a pull

I have an 81 citation with a 377 and they said that they wouldn't insure it Now what do I do cut up my fishing liscence???

what the hell man This thread has really got me messed I"ll never swim again if that thing can swim up yer penuts

That's it ...it over... all good things have to come to an end But you Dave, keep on keeping on Happy Birthday from all of us here in Nipigon Now go kiss a fish

It"s my mother inlaw yaking about painting the living room for the umteenth time

So here"s something to ponder..... Why is it they have 5 spots for your stickers but the card is only good for three years Hmmm Something fishy for sure I buy my sticker every year .gives them the extra paper work to process Also i never go to the self checkout at CT or WalMart I don"t want to put the girls out of a job So the fat cats can save money??? no sireee Thats not me

I think that if you are paddling a canoe and drinking beer wouldn"t you be PUI not DUI Just my thought

Hey Cliff Bring it up To NipigonI"m sure we could find a spot for the shack and I could chip in 99.9 per ltr I have a toonie lol Chuck

Those are some( Fat Hawgs) great pics and well done

personally i like a 10 in auger for fishing Superior The water is crystal clear and you can see down to the bottom in 15 to 20 ft When your in a dark hut you can actually see them swim up to your bait or lure which makes for some pretty exciting fish tv On the other hand when your fishing some backwoods lake for specks or walleyes a 6 or 8" hand crank is fine easy to pack and if the ice is more than 24" you can always get your buddy to help drill tandem style very quick and you won"t have sore arms the next day The wost senerio is going fishing with your buddy that says I"ll bring the auger only to find out on the lake that it has been stored in his shed without the guard on and has been banged around rusty and doesent cut S--t 20 min to cut one 8 " hole in 18 in" of ice BAAAAH Same with a power auger I watched this guy with an 8" power auger 15 min to drill through 2ft of ice he was amazed when I drilled 2 10 in holes for him in under 5 min. Keep "em sharp stay safe and have fun BTW my buddy with the crappy hand auger I helped him out by putting the chain on his new power saw on backwards Chuck
