no issue big cliff, we wanna get families and kids fishing everywhere! plus if you can donate locally I think that a good call too! -
fluoro gives you more feeling mike. your choice i hate mono with a passion even with my graph, my kids would get bit and you wouldnt even see anything on the rod. theres is like a 5 second delay. lots of missed fish if you cant feel the initial bite
-
my unit is easy for deep water. all i had to do is ask terry then screen shot the message he sent me lol he even got it working in heavy current and that was a lil more complicated lol
-
nanofil shreds easy mike. a lil ice in the guides and shes toast, expensive toast! im not to picky. i use tuff line duracast for trout, everything else is now 6-8lb fluoro. im not picky about brands either.

thats part of the plus though! you can see what entices them, what they wont bite, then just switch up baits or tactics and it seems more times then not you can get them to bite! my favorite is when walleyes are hugged tight to bottom when you first drop her down, a few rip jigs and like 6 fish scream up of bottom in chase! its playing video games really also, actually even better is when trout scream up 60 fow and just smash your bait on the way up!!! you can almost set the hook before you feel the bite lol, ALMOST!hahaha mine is the elite 3x

$300 for my Lowrance last year and its the best ice fishing tool I have besides my auger hahaha. way more fish on the rod or ice using a graph took a lil more time to set it up properly though and understand the functions thats for sure! but I think brian got his at the same time so I had terry the guru help me set it up properly. to each their own though. my good buddy swears by his flasher but I prefer to see exactly whats going on

yeah sounds like it lol. first time I went trail riding with my pops was crazy. I got left way behind in our groups. I was thinking how the heck do these guys make these turns that fast??? after i got more comfortable it was just pure fun though! travel like 300 klicks just to get a few beers and a meal haha when we fish sawbill its awesome. throttle up and were on the spot in 4 minutes or so, wicked fun! i dont even know what kind of sleds he has other then there ski doo. I think one is a 800 MXZ the other is 1200?
-
lol I just edited that into my post haha im not a big sled guy so now I think about it my statement sounded redonkulous. even 117km per hour felt Very fast lol on my second run I hit an ice road and it scared the living you know what outta me. thought I was dead for sure! im no speed demon thats for sure haha
-
i must be brain damaged. no way I got 117 on my dads sled now im questioning my whole existance lol it wasnt pinned so it must have been 117 km/per hour nice vid simon!
-

Elvis Debungee ice fishing derby/donations
manitoubass2 replied to manitoubass2's topic in General Discussion
thanks! when a huge influence in the community moves on others have to rally to fill that enormous void cause he did soooo much for local youth. and I love fishing and often take out the local kids so it just seemed fitting. two of my buddies took over baseball but nobody has got on hockey yet which sucks. I might end up doing that too bit im not sure if time will allow me anyhow, its a walleye derby but many people also caught their first sturgeons and said it was one of the best derbies they ever attended! and that blew me away being it was the first year! I also had Elvis brothers band The Nighthawk Band play afterwards so everyone could get their dance on! we even got donations from weechitiwin family services and had leather jackets embroidered with the tourny logo and those went to his parents which made us all cry when I presented them lol hopefully we have good ice this year and I might actually move the event to LOTWs because that was his future plan, but who knows? -
I held an event last year of my fallen friend. a great person, a NADDAP (drug and alcohol addictions worker. and ice fishing derby mainly for family and youth. thats what elvis did, from baseball to hockey to pow wows. he helped anyone so needless to say it was a great honour when his dad gave me the blessing to have an event in his name. a post about outdated gear inspired me to post this well in advance if anyone has gear that they dont need, please consider sending it for my event. this is about families getting out, and youth catching fish. it really is a great cause last year was our first year and it was awesome! we had some hiccups with 2 feet of snow before the event lol, but we managed we had donations from the community, local business like homehardware and canadian tire. which was awesome! we raised $3000 for local youth sports, non profit of course. and just as i had hoped, a youth angler dominated the derby! taking home $1300 2 trophies and a plaque, a snowmobile jacket, a new tackle box and two fenwick ice rods!!! everyone of the 87 anglers went home fed for free, and with a prize. we had angler families from up too 500km away! it was awesome! anyhow, if anyone has gear that is useless to them and wants it to go to a good cause please pm me. anything is helpful. i put together some starter tackle boxes for the youth so what you deem as garbage may be of use for me to pass on our wonderful passtime the evis debungee memorial ice fishing derby is held on family day, so help out if you can or come down and fish! emo ontario(RRFN) mods you can move this if you need to thanks in advance!!!!

I have a youth/family fishing derby on family day if youd like to donate. its an awesome event but this will only be the second year. Its held in honor of my good friend that passed, he was a drug and alcohol worker last year was awesome! all prizes for the derby went to youth! the winner of the derby was 13, she went home with $1300, first fish, biggest fish, and second as well, also a youth angler award. if you dont find a place for it, send it to me and ill make sure it lands in the hands of a youth angler:) -
