Awesome trip you guys had anders! There was a time when I would have been chomping at the bit to do a trek like that. Now, with being so much out of shape, I look forward to reading posts like this and enjoy what I can by sled. Cheers, Ron...

Great ideas for teh rod holders. Now what I use to use for minnows is an old insulated 1 litre water jug. I picked it at our local Reuseit store. Works great.

It's all coming together now..... I understand why you don't catch fish through the ice now! ha ha ha

Unbelievable! Here's to many many years to come! Cheers, Ron...

I have met Martin Berube a few times, super nice guy

I could be wrong on this too but I don't think there are floats in the carb of a 2 stroke.

Hey Dave, Just saw the video... Hilarious! You really know how to draw in the chicks don't ya! ha ha ha Cheers, Ron...

I always said" Be the bigger man". Good on ya for stepping up and admitting failure Dax. Ya wanna pick on someone, pick on this Dave Mercer guy, who is he anyways? Cheers, Ron...

Let me know Mike, I would like to hook up with you too when your in our neck of the woods. I was actually planning on going to Rileys on either the Fri or Sat night for a good ol chinwag with the boyz. Cheers, Ron...

Yes, we had a fantastic time out there. No Crappies were harmed by our crew of 6 but there were lots of Perch! Easily enough to keep the kids occupied. I, or should I say my daughter, tried out the new to me underwater camera and it is amazing on what you see on it. My buddy can say he caught the first Muskie of the year, another buddy caught a decent Largemouth and I could only muster up a trophy perch pushing the tape measure at 6 inches! Looking forward to spending a few more days on the hard stuff out there! It was great to see the amount of people enjoying our newly found resource in the Kawartha Lakes. Mike, thanks for getting this set up today, I think it will be a great boost to the economy to the area. I spent 30.00 at the tackle shop and another 70.00 at the gas station. That's a 100.00 more than I would have spent elsewhere! Cheers, Ron...

Now that would be worth the trip in itself! ha ha ha

You know, it's weird... I just picked up my phone and checked it for a dial tone.... seems alright on this end... Cheers, Ron...

Nice fishes Tdunn. Great way to start the season, that's for sure.

Now that is a great way to celebrate the New Years! Congratulations to the Blowes family! One more kid to get hooked on fishing..... gotta like it!

Holy Crap! You are one of the last persons I would have expected to hear this from! I don't want to echo peoples replies above but I understand your wishes. Meaning, from my personal experience In my other fishing involvements. Now I know why I received so many email, pm's and phone calls when I stepped down. You will be missed around here. I hope you have a change in heart. I personally have enjoyed both of your post on here and am certain you will be missed.

Nice truck Lew! That 5.4 will give you pulling power like you wouldn't expect. I had the 4.6 in mine, brother had 5.4 in his. I got better fuel economy but not by much. I put 350,00 on mime, sold it and now have a Toyota Tundra. Brother did the same. His 02 ford with the 5.4, motor went out of it with 290,000.

Ah but that is why I invited my nephew along....

Rice Lake is good and solid, no snow but good and solid! (At least where I checked).... Remember boys and girls, don't be part of the statistics...play safe and only go where you know. This was from out front of Gores Landing. Even when we were kids you had to be careful playing hockey and such around the marinas as they run bubblier systems to protect their docks from getting damage from the ice.

I am going out tomorrow to drill a few test holes and to try out the camera. I will let you guys know.

Hey Wayne, Are you guys going to be down for a few days? I am hoping you guys will in good enough shape to drill holes for me on the 2nd.

Never a good feeling to hear this. Especially this time of year. It seems as though everyone's family is at it's closest this time of year. Our family is thinking of you and your parents throughout the festive season. Hope all goes well. Cheers, Ron...

Gesus Doug, I fell your pain..... having to fish with TEP would have been very painful! ha ha ha Musta been nice to spend a day or 2 golfing and then a flight back home to get on the ice and fish for Perch! - NOT ha ha ha I take it the trip wasn't long enough. Cheers, Ron...

OK the group of us misfits on here have now declared you the winner! (I will no longer complain about my torn tendons in my shoulder). Ouch buddy... about your thumb, best to find out from the MD, like it was recommended in the posts above. Cheers, Ron....
