Hardly, I have not even broken out the snowblower yet. Its snowed last night, got about 15cm. The banana belt is on its way up here, they are calling for +3C Thurs, Fri and Sat!!!!?????? LOLOLOL…too funny Roy, Roloff had to stay home, would have struggled to keep up as we did 80KMs all the 8 miles to that lake, Sooki travelled under mums skidoo jacket.

Wicked!

Hi all, Got out for 2 hours tonight. Really wish I'd hooked my Gopro up for the ride down, my buddies new sled ROCKS! First spot we hit we stared at blank screens on the fish finder. We made the sometimes difficult decision to move with only an hour of daylight left. It paid off. My buddy got smacked by a 23"er as soon as we got there. They were out deep in 43'FOW. Then it just got frustrating. The fish would just stare at your bait, or hit and spit or get off halfway up. All decent fish too. I ended up with 2 over 20" and a 16"er, put the bigger one back. Lots of whitefish on the graph today, but they were even shyer than the walleye. VIDEO(taken on my crappy point and shoot)

My neighbour 'hot' smokes all my fish for me, I just give him one or two , works for both of us. It is delicious but its not the same as cold smoked 'cured' fish. We can get cold smoked salmon here, have some in the freezer right now….lol, but since I can literally drive off my lawn and get lakers within half an hour I want to try cold smoking myself…..especially since my wife is an execllent homemade bagel maker.

That is awesome Cliff….lol @ 'Bigger Cliff'. I love smoked salmon bagels, have always wondered if a nice pink lake trout or brooky/splake would compare, but could never find a cold smoking/curing system available to buy off the shelf. PICTURES PLEASE.

The lad and me took the dog for a walk tonight…………. bumped into some of his school bus buddies too.

Awesome report, I heard some walleye were taken hostage too…just saying.

This along with Spaghetti alla Vongole.

WOW….thanks guys! So much info. Just got back from work….will go through it all.

Hi all, I have to replace a soft roll up tonneau cover on my GMC Canyon as it ripped today, It did the job, but anything lower than -15c (which is all winter) and its a pain if not completely impossible to use. Any suggestions for styles, brands? Anyone have any experience with the tri-fold? Don't want to go over $1000 if possible.

LX9?

This one is a classic…….

LOL…its ok, I knew what you meant. Always welcome if you're up this way again.

Got mine up to just under 90mph, , it was climbing still when I eased off as I was running out of lake. Its a Ski Doo Expedition, 1200 4 Tec with a 154x20" track. Its getting its pre-season done at the dealers, can't wait till Monday….take the dog for a walk on the lake

Weird…don't think I ever said you should travel up here.

My mum says that in Ghana they recommend you put salt in your mouth, don't know if it works, but puking up because you have a mouth full of salt might take your mind off the fact your mouth is on fire and your eyeballs are bleeding.

Anything my dad makes (Caribbean food) especially his home made Roti. Also Lamb Sharwarma Kebabs and there is nothing like a traditional English Sunday Roast (lamb, yorkshire puds, roasties ,greens, swede and carrot mash drowned in gravy). A new addition to my favourite cuisine from 'other' cultures is a Canadian fish fry!

As it stands should be a bit of snow on the ground, but not too much, but hey, when has a long range forecast ever been accurate. I know that there are a few people fishing. Not sure about Lake Superior but all the inland lakes will be good to go by then. A good resource for you will be the Thunder Bay Fishing website http://fishingboard.thunderbayfishing.com/index.php . Tight lines and post a report!

AWESOME AS USUAL MAN! Stunning.

Crappie this year? Where exactly are you these days…closer, further or about the same? Makes the -40C and 12 foot snow banks worth it Drew….lol.

I was going to look at this…then I see its the Sun reporting…pffft!

Hi all, Got out for the first ice session of the season. Went down to Eagle lake and edged nervously out onto our walleye grounds, squeaky bum time is what I call it. There was more than enough ice, and with the lack of snow it was hard, black ice. Thickest ice we found was 8", thinnest was 4", note to self….tread with caution, its not uniform thickness, ice picks on. Within minutes of setting up on the edge of the drop from a 14' deep bay, Amanda got two and missed them both. Tyler then went over and set the hook on the same rod on the third bite and pulled up a nice 21"er. Sucked for him because there is an 18"-23" slot on Eagle Lake. It was pretty slow and we ended up with only 4 fish on the ice, 2 nice 17"ers, and a couple of slot fish at 20" and 21". Was warm out though and at -2C with no wind and no snow on the ice it felt like we were fishing in March! Another highlight for me was having Roloff out on the ice, he behaves exactly the same way as when we are shore fishing, waiting attentively at the hole for the fish to come up, and standing guard of each one as it lay on the ice. Hopefully getting out on Wednesday or Thursday. No snow and sub -20C temps next week should see much better ice this year and early access to the ice road. Here's some pics and video of our little outing.

At least nobody got hurt! https://www.facebook.com/CKDR.Dryden/photos/a.168091039905930.33570.168082259906808/763191003729261/?type=1&theater

Hi all, walk out 20 yards onto our bay with a spud bar. 4" black ice, only 2 cms of snow with not much in the forecast. Got to help a buddy get a 14 point buck saturday morning but will try and get on the ice somewhere this weekend for an evening bite.
