Thanx Mike - as usual you produce an awesome report. Great Saturday morning to read. Just awesome! I'm a walleye guy - your pix made my mouth water!!

That article should answer questions from the guys inquiring about safe ice for fishing in the Kawarthas!

While ice fishing you could save 400 bux on a floater suit with that truck!

Wow! Very nice. What area you fishing? How much ice?

Awesome fish pix! Thanx That wally is a tank!

Cliff - you missed your calling? You shudda opened a restaurant!

Kickingfrog - You must remember when we had to get up outta the chair to change channels!! Oh, & we only had 2 channels to choose from!

I'm wishing every one here a healthy & happy New Year!

Of course - he's the best!! Go Canada Go!

So here we sit waiting for safe ice. Everything else has been discussed here while we're in between seasons. lol! So what did you do? My wife & I spent New Years at home watching TV (especially the Canadian juniors beating USA -Woo Hoo!). Later in the evening she prepared 2 - 8oz lobster tails, shrimp with cocktail sauce while roasting a frenched rack of lamb!! I drank a couple beers while watching the hockey game, 1 glass of wine during dinner (which was awesome!). After dinner we watched the festivities at Times Square in New York. Went to bed at 10:00! Happy New Year everyone!

Awesome Nick! Thanx for the fish porn. The only ice in Niagara is in my rye & coke! LOL

Sounds like a power supply issue to me. Did you ensure the electric cord is also fully inserted at the TV?

I agree! That's all I ever used as a teen, Mitchell 300 & 301 (left handed model), paired with an Algonquin fiberglass rod. We fished Buckhorn & Bobcaygeon catching many walleye in the 4 - 6 lb range! Do you remember fishing off Shearer's dock in Buckhorn in the 60's. Having said that, the fishing pressure wasn't near what it is today. Last time I was in Buckhorn guys were keeping 12 & 13" walleye. Tackle, rods n reels are designed to catch fishermen! It's true!

Very nice of you! I'm sure the new owner will enjoy it.

Way to go Roy! Easy to see you have too much time on your hands!

Merry Christmas to all!

Merry Christmas to you & your family! Wishing you health & happiness in the New Year!

Thanx Cliff - that was good! You got me!

Not gloves but how about a waist muff which you slide your hands into when they are cold. I just read another post about eglisheepfarm.com They have a sheepskin muff which looks awesome. I've been told there is a battery powered heated muff available. They operate on the same principle as the heated jackets available at Home Depot & Marks. When operating your gas auger make sure you point the exhaust away from your body. I melted my previous muff by not paying attention!

I had a similar situation 2 weeks ago. I received an email from CRA (revenue Canada) stating I was entitled to a further tax refund due to new information they had received. Then they wanted my personal information such as social insurance #, email address & the amount of refund I was claiming. Immediately I became suspicious. If they're sending me a refund - wouldn't they already have my personal info? Sure enough when I phoned CRA the guy at CRA told me they never send out emails such as the one I received. Just a heads up guys!

I was on Nipissing 2 years ago & caught a few walleye during mid day using buckshots tipped with a minnow. Also caught a few nice perch with the same set up in 43 fow.

Welcome to the board Rembrandt. I own a 14' Lund that originally came with a 30 hp Suzuki 2 stroke, pull start. That motor was crazy fast at 30 mph with just me in the boat. I decided to go with a 20hp Yammy 4 stroke electric start last June. It's 10 hp less but only decreased my top speed to 23 mph. I'm very satisfied with the Yammy. Brand new, 3 year warranty & best of all I'm not pulling a cord on a cool fall morning.

Camping in Ontario - be prepared for skeetos & blackflies. I plan my northern Ontario fishing trips in mid September. = no bugs!

my grandmother's recipe for poppyseed cake from the old country {Czechoslovakia) was & still is a staple in our household at Christmas. Thanx for posting this topic

I had WFN for 6 months & cancelled it. It was a lot of reruns & fishing in exotic places I know I can't afford. I prefer to watch the shows that are in Ontario & also my magazines are Ontario based..
