Nice read Bill. Tis a sad sad day when you have to put your boat to rest. A moment of silence would be a nice gesture. Some nice shots you got too. Good to see the CO's out an about. Tis nice to see them there 240.00 tickets.

Praps we can do a reinactment again tonight. Say around 8:30?

Ah but we got all winter to Icefish. Time is drawing near for the open water stuff. If Simcoe freezes up, I'll just have to hit Quinte instead.

Nice report Redfin. I only got a few more weekends left for the Muskie and hopfully Simcoe will still have open water to see if I can't hook into them tastey morsals. By the looks of it, your fishing buddy is a Juvinille Loon.

Not yet, still lots o fish to be had out there.

chuckle chuckle.... I like it!

Kewl pics Dan, Once fishing stops in my area I will start pursuing the Owls and other wildlife. Then again, the fishing never stops here! Bay of Quinte the past 2 weekends, before that Lake St. Claire. This weekend, (3 day), Lake St. Claire. I may be forced to put the boat away by the end of December this year. I got a great spot for inside storage and he will hold a spot open for me till the end of Dec.

As stated by others, ATVs and Sleds have their pros and cons. Depending on what lakes you go to eill depend on what will woek best for you. My self, an ATV won't do me any good on the Northern lakes I frequent. Cost wise, you van get a sled much cheaper than a used ATV. Good sleds to look at for ice fishing are Yamaha Bravos, Skidoo Tundras, Polaris Indy lites and Artic Cat Panthers, just to name a few. I own an Artic Cat Panther, 2 up seat, long track. This machine is great for towing gear for 3 people including 3 portable huts and 3 people. There are a few people on this site that can attest to this. Again depending on what lakes you fish will make your choice on what to get or should I say on have much to spend. My machine cost about 5 g's when I got it. The other machine if I could have found one would have been the Skidoo Tundra. Then again, my machine was also great for trail riding. You would be in the right price range for a decent ice fishing machine. My brother has a Polaris Indy lite up for sale, asking 2 g's for it. A nice light weight machine, perfect for towing a portable, not so good if you are breaking trails. Check the condition of the track mostly, this will tell you lots on how the machine was taken care of and how it was riden. If it is studded, make sure the studs are in good condition, not bent over or worn out. A well maintained machine should not have oil leaks, over greased idler wheels, rusty shocks etc. Check for free play in the handle bars. As for licenceing, the machine will or should have numbers on it. Same as a car though, you have to buy an annual sticker. (15 bucks). You do need insurance on the sled as well.

Have you ever tried to walk in a pair of steel toed boots? These creepers are about the same. The reason you see commercial creepers flexible is because they are mass produced and cost effective.

Gavin, say what you will, I for one, dislike the abuse some people do to the fishing regs. I guess we all know where you stand with your code of ethics. Sure, most guides will run the legal amount of rods. Then again, if there were 4 people in the boat and you had 8 rods out, on certain lakes that is legal. Where I took this photo, you are only entitled to one rod per person, not 4. No, they were not doing a study, no they were not working for the MNR and no they were not native. The one person in the yellow Rain gear, turned his face once he saw me lift my camera up to take a photo. As simple as it is to understand the regs, perhaps you should read up on them. You would see it is illegal to run more than one line per person. And wherever you figure speeding fits in this thread, yes you're right, so is marijuana, crack, rape and theft. I don't really understand what you are trying to accomplish on this thread? Is there a reason why you are defending these guys? Do you know them? Are they friends of yours?

So ya got them finally built eh Dave! Kinda spiffy lookin too. Man those things should be good for walking on ice banks too.

Hey Mikey! He likes it! (He won't fish it he hates all fishing)..... Nice day on the water Mike, the first one is a nice fatty! Good on ya's bud.

Nice numbers Roy, I'm sure I haven't read all of them. The ones I did though, came from the heart. Well, most of them anyways. Here's to another 6000 Roy, CHEERS

It's always just you Jeffy, ALWAYS!

Isent the originals off to the pair of ya. Good luck with them. Wayne, I tried the sqinting thing too, didn't work for me. Next, I'll try a few Ceizures, see if that works.

Happy Thanks Giving our American friends. May you all get that sleeping bug from eating too much bird. Enjoy the extra day holiday and enjoy it on the water. Geez Joey, why did you post a picture of TJ?

Green Lake for first ice Brookies! Nothing will beat that trip, never has, never will.
