Bruce...thats just soooo cool! Molly looks really sweet. Good on ya for giving her another chance...she hit the jackpot having you guys as her new family. Happy Xmas!

Hi all, got out today for 2 hours. Have been looking forward to this all week, even bought a new rod and reel with some 'Nanofil' which my boy helped me spool up. Fishing was sloooooooooooooooooow....but the snowmachine ride was awesome...perfect 6" of flat snow on the lakes! Got one nice 22" and a 15". Drilled lots of holes, both fish from one hole in 47' FOW. (nanofil was ok....it was mild out and not many bites so a full field review still pending) HAPPY XMAS TO YOU ALL! <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mkTuqjbqhaA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I knew there was a reason i liked 'em! I dont tend to use the bigger style rods.....so far i've not hooked into any 'monster' lakers and rarely fish deeper than 60' for them......i find my walleye set ups with a tube jig does the trick for lakers.

i like the look of rods 1 and 3 (top to bottom)

LOL...erm...yeah...i jumped in my time machine to chase a skunk away! skills?....do you know how many fish i freekin loose doing my camera thing...its criminal! Not much of a set up involved...i just hold the camera like this..........

Sorry for your loss Bruce...i know how you must feel at the moment...painful to lose a member of the family.

Great stuff! Wish you all the best with your new business. Congrats on getting married and screw you for making me miss summer!

Congrats team 1!

LOL...that's Theo with the blue porta potty. Al....the guy who owns the bigger red shack, has a heated detached loo. His 'shack' has satelite TV too.

As long as they are happy right? LOL @ xtra lettuce and tomato Thanks Roy, i needed to get out to get away from the friggin' puppy!....Driving everyone insane....good job puppies are cute! We actually had one fish on...but apart from that....nope...not marking any. LOL...i know....but i cant help wanting to catch fish when i'm fishing, i still dont think Jack has seen a fish come through the ice yet! No problemo Wayne.....did you go musky fishing? No probs FF. Funny, nobody else in my family fished....but i have memories of doing it by myself from about age 4! LOL.....the season has been pretty darned awful so far in terms of catching. wait till the trout lakes open is what i keep telling myself

Took Jack to the shack for lunch...fishing sucked...but we had a blast! Shack is set up over 12' of water...muc flat, like a lot of this lake. With the fire going and the shack is very cosy....Jack really likes the shack now....he was a bit scared of it before today...but getting there by snowmachine has enthused him about it. VIDEO STUFF <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mIS_Gc-fH8s" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Good Times! Tight lines... hoping my skunk gets chased away soon...but with company like today... AINT NO THANG!

10- 12" and forming quick....no snow so far this year! Better get some soon...i'm a bit worried about my septic field! Hang in there CB...hang in there...i feel your pain....i know what its like waiting for the ice too. No Geoff i haven't...come on...talk dirty to me...LOLOLOLOL LOL...ive done that too...bittersweet...no fishing for a while...but ice season very close! I'm in Dryden Freshtrax Will do Frankaroonie!

Thanks again for the replies folks. Its actually really nice having the shack on the ice road....has already become a focal point for a couple of my buddies. Jack is still a bit unsure of it, but he seemed a bit more relaxed in it last night when we visited a buddy who called to say he was down there chillin' after work. Still some stuff to do. Got the metal sheeting and some copper pipe to do the 'spacers', trying to figure out how to re-arrange the interior to accomodate one more hole for fishing.....its really a 2 man set up. All in all fun times for sure...i had never even heard of an iceshack let alone an 'Iceroad 5 years ago! Good luck Wayne...report please. I know exactly where you mean, in fact i caught my first ever Pike right there...its actually just off to the right of my Uncles house. But we set up where we are for 'social' reasons,,,,a few people i know in our little circle of wagons. Ahhh...Grimace...you'll be out soon enough. LOL...@ banana belt. Should have an awesome report from the shack on 'Family Day' this year....the whole of the town decends onto the ice road....should be great having a semi permanent residence there! I like the word 'Zambonied' too

Hey Bruce...really sorry to hear that.....man....that sucks...must've been very scary.

LOL...drop in to the shack...then i'll cook you a walleye supper!

DOH!

Hi all, My 2 good buddies came round today and helped me get my ice shack out to he ice road, straight off the lawn and a mile or so away on the ice road. I decided to put it on the ice road as the fishing on our lake in the winter (around where we live anyway) can be very slow. I figured if i aint catching too many fish....might as well be social and meet some more folk. First job was unsticking the runners from the lawn....4 wheeler first....nope,........truck next......nope,......jacked it up on one side and it popped off the grass and back to the 4 wheeler with the truck following behind to stop the whole thing sliding down the hill on top of poor Tyler. The ice is as slick as newly Zambonied ice (is 'Zambonied' a word even?) so we had to push until momentum built up a couple of times until Tyler just gave the throttle heck all the way! We ....well....Carmon and Tyler even did me the favour of getting the Shack Christened with walleye slime and i got a supper. My wife and son visited on the way back from town...but it was a bit dark and cold to hang out. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gr6abLw0xyw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> </iframe>

LOL...i think you just solved a problem

well if you get stuck on your way through dryden we'll just go for some Lakers.

Erm...dude...the ice-55 is also an LCD display.

Thanks Jacques! The ice where we were was 8" black ice...hell...enough to drive a car on...but the depth varied...so we decided caution first was the best policy. Yup...next week its good to go.....i drove my truck across the ice road to work this morning...already 5 iceshacks out there. Its amazing eh? Falling asleep?!?....how much beer do you guys drink while fishing? Doooood! Where ya been? LOL...maybe try a skunk as a topwater for musky...but i aint gonna be the one trying to get the hook in it...and not in my boat!

It sounds like StarWars! Hey Rick...will be good to see ya again on wednesday. We are gonna go back to that lake...yes we almost skunked...but when ya do find the walleye there...its pretty insane with 27"ers not uncommon. We will be wanting to leave my houdse by 11am...is that gonna be an issue? Lol...sounds like us last year....this time last year i had 3 foot high snowbanks already! I dont understand...oh...wait a minute...you mean that weird hockey game..... was really cooooooooool. Was 8" solid seethrough BLACK ice where we were...but as we travelled across the bay we noticed the cracks only running about 5" down to the bottom of the ice...it was the varying depth that decided for us to stay put until next week. Thanks man.....not a big pike...but the only fish of the day....and it was cool to be able to see it from about 10' below the ice.

Thanks for the replies folks. I dont know if the deer made it off...they were just sat there at sunset when i walked off the ice.....it was dark when i left for work this morning so could not see. LOL....my buddy Carmon still has a Doe tag...he knows they are there after i spoke to him last night.....and there is enough ice out there too drive right up to thaem in his F150 No...there is 10" to 12" of ice right there, it is just folded beneath her in that pic. Not long dood...hang in there! I will be happy too, snowmobiling with a liquid cooled is not suited to glare ice at all! I dont think they will have lasted the night either Bushy...way too many cayotes and wolves around.
