I hear ya…they are snow machine or ATV only, takes 3 of us to load in the truck when packed with gear….awkward and heavy! But damn is it comfy!

Hi all, Finally got out in the new Otter shack, it got cold! Went round the corner for a quick morning session before my buddy had to go to work. He managed to get 3, 1 of them a slab the other 2 kinda small. I lost a huge walleye…..DARN! There were scores of fish on the screen all morning but they had lockjaw, but the shack was nice and warm and the bucket seats waaaaaay more comfy than the old bench seat style I had before. The fish were in 30'FOW and were only responding to tiny minnows on a plain hook with a small splitshot for weight, they ignored even the smallest jig presentations. I had a slip bobber on when the walleye hit, never used one on the ice before…kinda fun!

Right on Nick…great haul of fish!

I think I pooped my pants a little bit laughing so hard.

OK…you twisted my arm. Go get 'em !

Yeah, we are actually in the deep basin…35' FOW

Crappie New Year to you all! A few from new years eve. Very slow bite, only 4 fish between the two of us, but great to be out.

LOL…great stuff Chris.

Thats awesome!

That looks amazing…thanks for sharing.

These pictures came up on my Facebook 'memories' notification today for this day 5 years ago when jack was just one and a half years old. It was his first ice fishing trip with me. We made his snow machine helmet with a kiddies bike helmet and some see-through plastic we found in the house and cut to shape and stuck on, I remember how proud he was to be wearing a helmet "just like dad's", he used to call the snow machine a "snowmean"….man I love him! Happy new year! Simon.

Hi all, headed back down the road to Eagle lake for a short late afternoon session which did not disappoint. The bite was good ten days ago and even better this time around. Got enough for a fish fry each. all the action from 15' to 13' FOW. Jigs and minnows with 6 inches of ice. Happy Xmas to you all, thanks to Roy and all the admins for the unenviable task of keeping this place together and avoiding world war III on a regular basis. Tight lines and may Santa be kind Simon.

HOW DID I MISS THIS REPORT?? Awesome stuff lads!

That is cool….love saltwater fishing!

Thanks Joey! And a happy xmas from my crew to yours! Nope, lol…reality set in about half an hour after we hatched the half baked plan, Rick had family stuff and it turned out that I did too….i just didn't know it at the time….lol( school phoned…kid was sick). Saturday is a no go either for Rick, I might have to venture out though.

I should just grab my rods and join ya.

Should be good, if you get a chance would be worth it.

Thanks man, I see a certain Brian guy found some ice somewhere down there.

Big sawbill looks easier to get onto too What about Saturday? Do you know the ice conditions? I had to drive to Sioux Lookout yesterday, all the big water was WIDE OPEN here.

LOL…a$$hat!

so which one is better?

Is it big Sawbill or lillte sawbill?

Did you get that snow we got? We could sled out if ya like. Try my new shelter out too. Was a pretty good start to the season…we got some snow today too…things are looking up. Ah…sure you don't want some? Roloff loves it, he got to chase the snow machine today….he is in heaven! I did it once, I was hallucinating by the time I got to Ignace….lol…over 23 hours.

Yup, been using them for years, awesome little gadgets.
