Awesome guys….really good pics. Jack went to school as a Dinosaur this morning and Luke skywalker tonite….just heading out now.

LOL…i get like that reading some stuff on here, I'm like……." Have you been to Lac Seul??……because I've been to Lac Seul".

Throw first one back.

CUTE AND CREATIVE….LOL…excellent.

Thanks everyone for your input, i think we will go with the snowblower attachment for the tractor.

deepest condolences terribly sad news.

lol....yup i'm experimenting hard with iMovie '11. yup.....cant wait....wont be doing much fishing or skidooing b4 Jan though...elbow is going under the knife....cubital tunnel. Thanks man...i think that often too....perfect place for a dog that loves water. Yeah weird....he'll chase sticks all day long. Just pack yer bag and your on!

ERM...lol....but i did wish i had one of these i must admit....... It was a much needed session for sure. The pike are always off that rock waiting in ambush...every time i go there one attacks....I HAVE SEEN SOME GIGANTIC PIKE THERE...when i get a small 12 or 14' i will be trolling some big baits for sure.

I was thinking about your screen name....kinda works for that 'speed dating' post i put up yesterday........"Musky or Specks?"............"what?"............."NEXT!"

I lasted just under an hour....was bitter cold and did not have me thermals on. That was the only walleye....and it tasted awesome for lunch.

It's a real chore by the shore walking the dog.

Its a Husqvarna YTH20F42 , it has a 20HP Kohler motor in it.

See....i had not even thought about that. Thanks Rob.

Hi all, Have surgery coming up which will make it impossible for me to push my existing snowblower until January. Looking at getting a plow for the truck or a snowblower attachment for my lawn tractor. What do you all think are some of the pros and cons of each? We get LOTS of snow here BTW......and it stays till April some years. Have begun to weigh up the pros/cons myself but since i have never owned either just wanted to harvest as much knowledge/experience before pulling the trigger on either. Thanks in advance. I dont own a 4wheeler so am not considering that as an option at present.

Nope...dont think so. Hummingbird does one model of iceducer for their flasher units and one for the graph units. From the looks of it the iceducer for HB graph units does not support your 898 model. http://ca.humminbird.com/products/314001/XI_9_20

I would probably be considered 'Old Skool' now. I have an old Lowrance X-67c. They are discontinued by Lowrance....but it is still an awesome unit....if you decide on a graph wont hurt looking on Ebay to pick one up.

Herring are delicious grilled! course ground sea salt and crushed black pepper...under the grill(hot). Yor house will stink for a year, your grill will be toast(excuse the pun) but a dish fit for a king you shall enjoy!

Yeah, i have one of those too (X-4), not the best on the market but you get what you pay for, i only bought it for the transducer as my other one was kaput and when it was on sale was cheaper than ordering a new seperate transducer. All the arguments for and against flasher/fishfinders are going to come up here probably....does every year without fail. The flasher crew have relaxed a bit since the LX-7 came out and broke their own taboo about using graphs on the ice and all the old myths about freeze up/ lags/power etc..etc...etc...and are actually even a bit smug and delusional on some websites acting as if they invented the concept and now we all need to know about it. To be honest i would say that both are excellent tools....preference plays a role here too. I hate looking at the whirly circle display and value the 'screen memory' you get using a graph, it gives me a much better feel for how the fish is moving/reacting than when i use a flasher....yes i have used both, my graph fishfinder has a digital flasher and i have used an fl-18 (vexilar). Drifter made the point about the screen slowing down/freezing and that some flashers have heated screens. This will happen i guess at the temperatures he regularly 'boasts' about (crazy sod) but i have had my graph out all day at -20C and below with none of the issues he mentions(you will want a colour TFT LCD)....even the battery will last for 2 or 3 trips at those temps. So, i dont need a heated screen, so as a feature it is redundant to my needs, cuz any colder than -25C will see in my portable shack for most of the day anyway, no need for a heated screen. I think Mike hits the nail on the head.....Flashers are a single use tool....although obviously they can and are used on a boats. If you choose the flasher over a graph Marcum and Hummingbird appear to be the most innovative when it comes to flashers, Vexilar appear to be the Yamaha Bravo of the bunch...it will never let you down. Split zoom is your friend.

Yeah, don't buy a flasher, get a regular fisfinder and iceducer.

That awesome JT. The pic of the canoe in the mist is.....STOLEN....lol....hope you dont mind. I'd be very interested to know the how and where if and when you figure out those whities . Thanks for posting.

OMG! That was an awesome report! Thanks for sharing .....gonna have to get a fly rod now!

Wow.....great fish....congrats!

And I knew the people in the first 2vehicles I passed....gotta love small towns....gene pool could do with a refresh though.....lol.

Hi all, Got out a few days ago for some local walleye action, bite was tough, morning mist spectacular and the chill in the air a constant reminder that I better get my snowblower tire fixed soon.
