Yeah, that might be a problem on the Goon, i'm sure Eagle lake has American plan lodges though. I know a few local musky guides, if you plan coming this way I can most probably set you up with one.

Hi all, Snuck round the corner for a sneaky one hour session before work. Fish were being very picky but got a few and missed a few.

Actually the correct colloquialism for sandwich is "sarny".

Thanks guys!. What you fishing' for Brian?

This song is for you TJ

Hi all, My wife decided she was going for supper in town before coming home with Jack. Good job i'm not one of those guys that either expects or relies on their spouse to cook for them. Not having made any supper plans myself I decided to hop on the Skidoo and get a couple of Crappie for a sammich. I returned 20 minutes later with two nice ones and cooked up a storm. Crappie, bacon and avocado on rye and pumpernickel with home made potato chips seasoned with crushed peppercorns and rock salt....YES. Only problem was I only got half the sammich as the wife and kid returned and I left half the meal to them on the kitchen table and fled for my life!

LOL...i'm just bugging. I'm lucky, my wife fully enables my addiction , sometimes I return home expecting an 'Intervention' type scenario waiting for me.

AGREED!

Happy New year to you too!

For me something here would have to give, and I'd need a job to pay for tackle and the divorce settlement......lololol.

Like I said, I sympathise with folks that don’t have easy access to lakes and I don’t exclude everyone who asks me for info. Having said that there are many times when I will just make time to go adventuring to check lakes, I might throw one rod in just in case. No reason for me to say the day is a write off because I could not set a line, good time to take some pictures, make an ice thickness report/ video. If I were down south I might do the same with the bonus of having somewhere close by to go for lunch. I also have to say that if I lived somewhere that meant I had to drive 3 hours to fish, I’D MOVE!

I never take anyones word on ice thickness, I always go scouting myself, to me its part of ice fishing, gets me out and about, see some cool stuff and I have no one else to blame except myself if things go south. Not that blame is particularly useful, especially to a grieving family. I have stopped responding to texts from some people asking about lake conditions. If you love doing something make the time to do it. I can sympathize with folks that don't live in an area like I do that probably has more lake acreage than land, but when folks around here are asking its just lazy and I want to text back and tell them to stop leeching off my me and go find out themselves, or maybe to ask for payment for information gained through sacrificing time and money.

Hi all, my work schedule is P/T with casual shifts thrown in and mainly evenings, so I usually have time to get out for numerous short sessions and one long session every week. This week was no different and so i decided to stitch together 4 or so sessions from this week into a video. Trout opened on Jan 1st but I only made it out at the end of last weekend, its a long video but pretty fun.

Lots of BIG northerns to be caught pretty easily 1st week of June on our lake Wabigoon. Lots of camps to choose from. Try the camp I guide for, Indian Point Camp.

You guys are brave. I get many comments when I post reports in November about being careful. Here the same rule applies..."no ice is safe ice" ....but the freeze up is somewhat predictable when your weather is minus stoopid℃ every day, and the resulting ice clear and black. All that broken ice and constantly changing temps into the + and back to - with snow and rain thrown into the mix and some of the pictures I see of the ice down there would probably see me never going out! BE CAREFULL OUT THERE!

Hi all, Here is some of what I do for a living, so no, won't be giving up my day job.....lol.

i would crash the server....lol.

Happy New Year all! A bit of fun to start the year from me. Our new rapidly growing kitten Moose is fitting in just fine. Just like our other cats he loves nothing more than aerating my minnows for me.

?

Fingers crossed for you. I took the day off to go for lakers as they open today. I'm sitting this one out as it is -31℃ this morning, God only knows what that is if you add windchill. Gonna wait till this afternoon when it warms up to abalmy -22℃ and chase walleye closer to home. It at least gave me a chance to try and sort out my rods early this morning, ever start something then wish you hadn't?.....lol.

Great report! Good to hear you're feeling better and back at it , those are beauty marks coming up for a sniff! Frustrating but also fun.

I agree, I had those installed when i purchased my quad, considering I have no windshield they are essential! Fish fries rule!

i'm eating the left overs as I type, not bad cold with tobasco either....lol. hey did you ask me to do a quad modification video a while back? I have not forgotten, just aint got round to it.

You should have cooked a leg of lamb then....lol.

Hi all, Got out for a couple hours yesterday and got four nice walleye. Jack wanted to make a cooking video so we did one on how we make our fish fry, fun evening.
