AWESOME!!!!! Always enjoy your reports Jacques...but had to admit when you'd make the leap to 'live' footage. Great report, and silky editing/production skills (did i just use the word 'silky?...lol)

Thanks Dan Hope to get out a bit more...this saturday looks good for me...just hoping the rain forcast does not kill off the snow in the bush too much...should be good though...lots of snow on the ground still. He calls them...."dood glasses" Some of the best people i know are 'rednecks' LOL...now there is something i never thought i'd say in my whole life 5 years ago...lol He was laughing his head off there wayne...he was gradually sliding down the hill.

I have to concede though that mum deserves most of the credit for such a cool kid...she works and plays tirelessly with him. Friggin' hope so Tyler. He's talking non stop about the "bye-boat" already...he remembers it from last year. Thanks bfisher, he certainly makes me smile a lot!

COngrats to you all. A real sweety! Wow does she ever look alert!

Hi All, I think my last 'proper' fishing outing and report was close to three weeks ago. Since then Family, conflicting work schedules and weather (not necessarily in that order) have kept me off the ice more than i would have liked. I was really looking forward to getting out there with our little boy lots this past three weeks, but alas did not pan out that way. He has been aching to get out with dad....he even found his own indoor ice auger to practice in the meantime! VERY IMAGINATIVE BOY....HE CAME UP WITH THIS GAME BY HIMSELF! <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ks-7pn3QcMA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> In between night shifts etc... we got out a couple of times for some practice runs on the snowmachine, trying to get him used to going longer distances without falling asleep....lol...the combination of snug warm snowsuit, cuddling up close to dad, the hum of the engine and rocking motion usually have him in the Land of Nod, steaming up his visor whilst sawing logs within 15 minutes. A FEW PRACTICE RUNS ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lMVz1xgh2vk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Weather just hasn't been kind or conducive to getting out much, throw in work schedules etc....very patchy few weeks fishing. Basically 2 and a half weeks ago we hit a big thaw...fine...actually very little slush on the lakes after a couple days + temps and sun, but work kept me home. Then the weather got REAL cold again and froze the surface snow rock solid....I NEED A QUAD! We did manage to get out in front of the house one evening before the big thaw came, had lots of fun, but unfortunately my boy has yet to see dad pull a fish through the ice...!!!!???? GREAT FUN IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE! I did manage to get out around 15th March to take a friend of ours' young boy out....was not a hugely successful outing fish wise...but the boy had fun and got his first ever whitefish...he was well pleased with that......and his dad is in trouble as he now wants a fishfinder for icefishing! IAN'S 1ST WHITEFISH! <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VojFgXtZUkU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I MANAGED A COUPLE SMALL WALLEYE AND A WHITEFISH TOO The next week was all work and 'ships passing in the night' type work schedules...and even when I had the time, the conditions were way to cold to take Jack out....wind-chill being the main factor.....but all through that week jack would constantly remind me through the medium of play that he had a desire to hit the ice........ GET THE HINT ALREADY DAD!!!! The weekend before last we went out to take down my buddy's shack, I’m glad he took his snowmachine cuz I would not want to melt my sliders out there, and being liquid cooled...not much if anything to keep the heat exchangers happy either. Lew's buddy brought his quad too and that helped....DID I MENTION I WANT A QUAD?! I had to be back for five o'clock, and not much fishing was done up till then anyway, I got a small, well fed Jackfish, and Lew got a walleye just as I had to head out. GOODBYE SHACK TILL NEXT YEAR <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/U4fUFGXo8wo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The whole of last week was work again, and despite being off at 6 pm which now means being able to get a few hours in front of the house things just did not work out that way. However, this Monday just gone we finally made it out, weather was perfect...a nice +2. We had to walk in about 1 click, but Jack was perfectly happy lying down in the sleigh there and back. It was awesome fun, Jack had the time of his life, but as the sun started to set the temps dropped really quickly. We were not catching fish either and he was getting cold and bored....so I quickly carted him back on the sleigh and mum drove him home, he fell asleep in the car on the 10 minute drive back...lol...exhausted! PERFECT FEW HOURS WITH FAMILY <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nwuQJ5UW3Yk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I scurried back out and we stayed till dark, I forgot that Erika (my wife) had the camera so only managed a picture of the fish when I got home. I got a nice 21" walleye and a 16" and 3 small whitefish, my buddy Al got to whitefish. I can’t believe that my boy has yet to see a fish come through the ice...he would be SOOOOOOOO excited...oh well, we have another 2 weeks before walleye close, and enough ice out the front of the house to last to the end....weather is gonna be all + during the day for the next 2 weeks too...hopefully the fish move through our bay this year.

Sounds about right.

thats funny...and i dont even drink!

Totally done Moose......cant wait to see the report when you win and go back

SHHHHHHH everyone...you dont know what you're talking about! Newangler don't listen to them...just straight swap your honda for my bowmount Just kidding, keep the Honda if its back-up you are needing.

WTG Mike! Nice fish.

Hey cool...another Jack. Yes he is teething...his cheeks get real bad....but he doesn't seem bothered by it at all Thanks Paul.....see it is a family on here...he has another Uncle! Yeah, and only 18 years to go for Dad! Thanks Jacques Yup....WHOOOOOOSH! Thanks TJ. Nope he was way to busy with presents and cake and friends and jello and....... He had an awesome day. Might have made it out this afternoon in front of the house, but he was soooooo tired from the morning he slept right up till 5:30 when the guests came over!

Hi all, My boy turned 2 years old today, he was singing happy birthday to himself this morning while eating his birthday cupcakes....SSSSOOOOOOOOOO CUTE! (turn up your volume) HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK...MUM AND DAD LOVE YOU SO MUCH! <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lg_XhYrzu-8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Thanks Dan....this lake holds some real nice fishy wishies. I missed a bunch there the other day...i gave up and stuck to the whities....lol....just wasn't gonna be my day. Thanks weedline The 4" tubes are these CLICK HERE and the 2" inch tubes are these CLICK HERE and the one inch tubes were unbranded crappie tubes we had lying around in our tackle boxes..

[ Thanks C.A.R Thanks EHG...actually...the Vongole element was also a recipe i learnt when i worked as a cook in an Italian restaurant in England over 25 years ago...my 2nd ever 'real' job. As usual ...thanks Corvy! WOW...i seen your pics on &aceb00k, very impressive! Hey...did any of you lose the mud flap off a skidoo out there...i picked one up on the way out...its in the back of my pick up....its toast though...plastic shot to pieces. Beauties eh? Me too SD....lots to learn every time i go out...love it!

It was a blast Splash.....i love whitefish...especially when they are numerous and hungry! Thanks JB.....lovin your new profile pic man!!! Sucks to be me eh? I'll try and do better for ya Captain It aint bad....i'm still at the experimental stages with it....but i'm getting there. Thanks Jacques, lol...dunno who or what cooking with Yan is...oh well. I imagine it would be.....the think i like about whitefish for a stew type recipe is that it is a firm meaty flesh that does not disintegrate when cooked in liquid, i'd imagine walleye would just fall apart. OK....that is one of the most generous replies i've had, Thanks man

Lets hope your memory holds out

Hi All, Went out for some more whitefish action, got some nice trout too. When the whitefish bite is on it cant be beat for fun IMO, especially when all the fish are between 22"and 25". A couple of times we thought we had trout on when in fact it was a whitefish, when they want to fight they are no slouches! Fish were all from 38'FOW, live bait was not popular with the feeeeshes yesterday, with white tube jigs from 4" to 1" taking all the fish, occasionally these were tipped with a minnow chunk for some FLAVA. It was a morning bite with a real quiet spell of about an hour when the smelt all but dissappeared from screen. The fish were still there but not one would bite, apart from 2 'bumps' from what appeared to be Lakers higher up the water column. Then....like magic the switch was flicked back to 'ON' and for the last hour from 12-1pm we got a few more whitefish and a trout. THE VIDEO OF OUR MORNING <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rf0PjodNRKE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> DOUBLE HEADER TROUT! (released to breed and fight again ) ANOTHER NICE LAKER I thought i'd put together a recipe video of my whitefish stew that we had last night....fresh fish...anyway you do it is good but I kinda came by it by accident a year ago when i decided i wanted to eat fish other than fried. I had recently returned from France at the time and had had the opportunity to have some excellent fish soup while there. I thought i'd try to recreate the soup with a 'clam' twist as I make spaghetti vongole (clam sauce) often and always have the ingredients for it at home. I also added some shrimp to the mix cuz there were some in the freezer and my wife loves them. Basically throw it all into the tomato soup and cook......really good served with fresh garlic bread.
