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.

AWESOME!

YIKES!

Sorry Bruce……but we always get to go first.

Awesome Dan, and thank you. Awww, that is great to know, my little guy likes to watch them too, we sit for an hour sometimes just giggling at ourselves, fun. Thanks for subscribing, the whole youtube thing is fun, never really used it for anything other than a hosting site but I am getting a loyal following which is fun and appreciated. Feedback heard….won't be changing much anytime soon…..

LOL…..he should get an Oscar! Thanks Brian, It was very easy to mess around with different shots because it was +2C! very different when it is -20 like it should be by now, but I'm not complaining. I have wanted to smack Roloff on many occasions…lol…interesting idea, never thought of using a fish before! 'High Five"(love Borat) Definitely an odd year…again…one extreme to the other. Could do it any time you want, I'm off work at the moment. Do you need a quad or snow machine to get onto it, or can you just walk in…remembering that I'm old eh? LOL…I got one for sale! (jk) He is priceless hey, I realized after finishing the video a third of it is about the dog…love that brown doofus. This is nuts hey Chad?…soon enough, it has to come. Thanks Lucas, I went all 'Youtube' on this one. Thanks Tomcat, always appreciate you commenting on my posts

Looking back I was a little hasty and snappy as he never did get a chance to ask me not to film (even though I wasn't) and you make a good point about how I would want my kid to react, I absolutely encourage my kid to challenge me(lol…within reason) and other authority figures, but respectfully and he has some pretty healthy boundaries. I admit I was angered by his question right off the bat, but again I feel my instincts were correct and my annoyance justified because my suspicions about his intentions for asking if I was filming were spot on as he then informs me he thinks I'm not allowed to. Being assertive is a skill…don't always get it right with my communications but I will speak my mind…even if my voice shakes. Thanks Oggie, I kinda knew this was a provocative subject to post, I prepared myself to be thick skinned for the responses….lol. Hilarious….thanks Grimace (BTW…I am Canadian…born in Toronto) LOL…GBW…love your responses, thanks man..like Manitou said…spot on!

Hi all, Got out with my buddy Tyler for a session on Eagle Lake. A good 6" of ice all the way across the narrows. Depth from 16' to 22'. Biggest came from 22' but as the light faded the shallower holes saw all the action, iced quite a few, put some back and kept some for supper. glow orange 3/8Oz jigs with live minnows. Good to be out there….just need some snow now so I can get to my Crappie spot.

Jtracc, I have the Gopro with me because I am filming my fishing adventures, it just takes quite a while to download, sort through, piece together, do editing sound etc…etc….and then I have to upload it to youtube at dazzling upload speeds of 0.2mbps (all we get out here in the boonies !!!) But fear not…..it just finished uploading….here is the video from that afternoon 48 hours ago….minus the part where the CO walks up...let me know what yo think

Thanks Chris, as you say I am filming my outdoor activities like i've done for a decade now…..check out my youtube channel….subscribe……lol…just kidding . I'm not out for confrontation. I was actually filming as the CO approached as my buddy was reeling in a fish. The CO was actually hiding in the bush watching us….lol…because he witnessed us catch and release a slot fish…which he thanked us for doing. I switched off the camera before he arrived because there is no need to film and it is just out of respect, I know it makes people uneasy, but to be told i'm not allowed to is a whole other matter…especially if it is not the case. And who the heck is jtracc…."get a life"…..lol…whatever mate…..loving my life thanks all the same.

Ahhh man, condolences T.J., never easy. RIP Musky.

This has come up a couple of times for me now, given I usually have my GoPro strapped to my head when out hunting or fishing. First time was in the summer when approached by a CO i'm on first name terms with, he asked if I was filming in an abrupt fashion , I told him I wasn't but even if I were it was a free country, I was in a public place and could film whenever I wanted, he changed his tune very quickly. It happened again yesterday out on the ice. The CO approaches, we have the usual pleasant conversation, I don't mind being checked, in fact it is a good thing. He sees the camera on my head and asks if I'm filming, I say no but even if I were I was entitled to do so. He then states that he is pretty sure I'm not allowed to film him, I restate…."oh I'm pretty sure I am"….he then says " I don't think you are, if you are how come Google has to blank out peoples faces?" I said that was different, lol…mumbled something about public/private/profit/i'm not a company etc…etc..I was making it up as I went along (i'm stubborn….lol). In the end I informed him I was filming until he came closer as my friend was reeling up a fish as he approached, but as I was a decent person I switched off the camera as he got closer. He said He appreciated it and it all ended amicably enough, but I was pretty mad….don't like being told what to do at the best of times. I found a whole bunch of stuff online that would indicate I am within my rights to film police officers in Canada…but nothing on COs. Here is the link to stuff about filming police http://blog.privacylawyer.ca/2012/08/photographing-and-filming-police.html?m=1 Anyhoo, just an interesting afternoon discussion on the ice, and to make it clear I'm not hostile towards COs (unless they are hostile to me) and appreciate the work they do…….lol….however……….
