yeah it ridiculous. Here they flooded on 9" of snow!!!! Any guesses how much water to cover that mess?

When all else fails, deadstick one hole with live bait/deadbait. Then again i shouldnt be giving advice for laketrout, never caught one under the ice, EVER... Haha. Sounds like you had a blast regardless!

frig thats a pisser! Similar thing happened at our outdoor rink, but some sheer genious flooded over the snow without shovelling!!!!!! Like what the hell?

backin it!

Hahaha, looks functional! That would be fun though! Id be scared of a chain break

Its a funny topic. I think its alot of things that need to add up for kids to take it to a superior level. Some children our groomed and have influential mentors supporting them and i think thats a weird thing. I played with some wicked good hockey players, someof them never made it anywere. One has a stanley cup(duncan keith). No ifea whatever happened to duncans older brother but at that level he was FAR above duncan skill wise. There was one other guy i thought wouldbe the next gretsky for sure, scored like ten goals game playing 10-15 minutes a game. He was benched most the time cause anytime he had a shift he scored numerous times, and no kid could even touch him. He went to college and i never heard his name again??? Maybe he discovered fishing lol. Maybe an idea would be to eliminate rep teams in the early years. Players in house league would certainly benefit playing better opponents???? Hockey is expensive these days and that doesnt help. Also it "seems" parents arent as involved as generations ago. My grampa did stuff for us kids i dont really see or here of today. Flooding a rink in the bush for shinny(sounds retarded but playing hockey in the bush is wicked fun), he also got the arena operator to open the rink for us at 5-6am on friday saturday and sunday. We would play for the whole morning. Anyhow, book written, point of it? Im not sure haha

I dont see why 6lb wouldnt work? When i catch em its usually on 8lb and ive never had an issue. Keep in mind the ones i catch are pretty small, about 25". I think there much bigger south

Yeah i second the night comment. Deadbait just sitting there. I prefer to hold the rod as much as possible, sometime they take a bait so lightly youd think it would be impossible. They also love to tangle the crap outta your line lol

Ughh i had to open my big mouth...

yeah -40 has been seemingly the average, dipping past -50 in the nightime. I dont think we'll hit -60 but at this point who knows lol. Supposed to be gnarly cold the next few days, then really nice on friday, -15 i think? Ill be fishing all day in that

This russian goaltender is fantastic! Unfortunately

Wow that sucks for your atv but thats awesome of those folks to help ya out like that!!!

Canada vs russia, what a game so far!!!!

nothing normal about -53 lol. -25 sure, thats fine, barely need a jacket, but -53 is a lil rediculous.

Thats exactly what we have here too simon. -40 and cold and windy as f*#%}. Then -10 and 12" of snow, then repeat. I had drifts today well over 20" and man o man, what i had to shovel by hand was tough. I went and checked the ice after work today, 30-35"!!!!! Howah! Might need an extension this year lol. Forecast is looking BRUTALLy cold till next friday:(. GNARLY

Hahaha, a lesson in English! Jack is awesome. Brings back memories of my boys as well

just wait till we sign chris pronger hahahaha

Of course id rather canada win gold, but with the losing today it might have gave us the two most exciting match ups.

hahahaha

Woot woot!!! This gonna be a good one! And i have to go to work

Just had my first experience while me and the wifey were doing housework and laundry turns out it was the bed!!!!

Of course he seen the play bill, hes the biggest leafs fan here lol

perhaps its just the perception of sound direction? I know at our house when the river ice booms its "appears" to come from behind my house and not from the front which faces the river.

That would be creepy. Never heard them up this way

Nah, nothing is better then moose bro, except walleye, crappie, trout, deer, partridge etc... Were getting the cold too. Average of -42 for the last 5 days hit -53 last night. Funny, we had 12" if ice about two weeks ago, now its like 25-32" hahaha. Byw that meal looks awesome!!!
