Hey all figured since we are often in the same areas as eachother fishing especially on the Ice it'd be a neat way to meet each other, unexpectedly. So for those interested post a pic of your Hut or your Quad/sled or vehicle if you bring it on the ice on here so we can identify each other on the Ice. Here's mine It has an OFC Sticker on the front door so ya know for sure its me, If ya see it come on by and say hi...

Another Girl in your family to kick you but eh Cliff... Better hope she doesn't get into fishing if you want to have any dignity left Ya put any fish under the ice so it could double your fun lol ... Great Job with the rink though Cliff looks like ya have and Carole have one heck of a kid.

Sure thing skeeter... i am thinking I will make a thread for everyone to post a pic of their hut so if we see eachother we can Identify OFNers... Glen... The pics were emailed from another computer and were made into like 15kb's instead of the normal MB's they take up... I do use photobucket. Shawn... Different spot altogether where we caught fish. Started Shallow and had good action then moved when it slowed and kept moving till we got on em et the end of the day. I have the GPS waypoints so we can go there next week if all goes well. I'll phone ya next time Gerritt... guess I should have been thinking better eh?

Ohh yea and If anyone is out one day and sees me, knock on the door and say Hi... I am sporting an OFC sticker on the front door If ya'll didn't notice.

Thanks to the both of you... Ohh and if I had more successful days on the water I would be making more reports lol... looks like this Ice will stick so I hope to have a few more days like today and some with a few real Jumbo's

Hey all Just going to make a short report here, its been quite a while since i have posted one and even longer since a successful one lol. So here goes... Day started around 8 when we arrived in Gilford.... lines in the water ready to go at 9 and sure enough first drop in the water and fish on... a decent 12" perch would start out the day nicely. Although we were nice and comfortable in the hut outside there were some good gusts of wind and some whiteout conditions (brought the GPS just in case) This was our initial greeting After the first hour my Brother hooks into what he figures is a small perch until his reel starts screaming. He didnt know what it was, ended up being a little pike The weather liked switching back and forth... it was continuously windy and cold though but snow and clouds came and went Moved around after the bite stopped and it helped... we got to a spot with nonstop action at the end of the day and we couldnt keep our lines in the water... Mostly fish in the 7-10" range but a bunch of 5-6" dinks and a few over 10 Overall an enjoyable day on the water and I am glad to see the water is now hard. As for ice conditions. Well operators were putting there huts out in the afternoon with argos and quads so it seems to be "safe" we found from 4" to 7" on the Gilford side but we sure didn't cover the whole bay so its not to say it is all accessible or safe. Hope ya enjoyed the report.

Glad to here your doing great Jack!

Yep... thats the way it goes... good thought and a nice touch of humor in there too...

Sweet Ride there Wayne. although I just figured you were just going to be flying into all your lakes with your gear trailing behind the plane

Wow Great report Bunk! thanks for sharing those awesome pics with us. almost like I was watching ya the whole way. Thanks and what a great time

Yup... a day on the water catching them ugly fellers sure does beat being at a computer or in front of a tube or working anyday...

Well I used your link Terry and sent em an E-mail and would think any of us who ice fish whether or not with a portable should do the same... If ya let the Gov't or Ministry push too much the will keep going, and eventually affect you whether or not you see it now... soon it will be special licenses for vehicles including cars, and Ice fishing licenses. Lets all speak up OFC has a voice lets show the Ministry. Heres my message: Hello there, and good day to you. I am writing about registering fish huts in zones 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. The new registration rules seem to be somewhat ignorant as even portable collapsible huts must be registered. I enjoy frequenting many lakes and want to understand how it is reasonable to ask those of us who have portables, not much over regulation size (being 21.5 sq. feet), are supposed to go about fishing the many lakes we are fortunate enough to have in Ontario without making our huts covered in 2.5" lettering specifically on cloth, where stickers or paint are not an option and the numbering would cost near or over $100 per license number. Hopefully this was some sort of oversight, which is clearly in need of re-evaluation. I appreciate any response. Bill Parker

My thoughts are with him... I hope to see him get well very soon. Bill

I will be there myself... Came on to drop by there anyhow

Happy Birthday Bernie! You are truly an asset to the board and a class act. Have a good one Bill

Nice post... Thanks for the laugh Solo

Nice rack... Dang shes wearing it backwards

Happy Birthday Cliff, Have a good one!

Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself, heck you even got to go fishing and got a few... Hope that isn't the swimming pool and beach offered to ya on your stay otherwise I would expect you came back with a few less limbs

Same as Gerritt except I have XM... reception can get iffy with high rises, you'll loose reception and get static for parts of a second... hopefully fixed with the merge though

WTG Cliff... Glad to see you got some fish and enjoyed your time on the river... I guess the only way you can outfish Carole is if she's hard at work eh

I was thinking the exact same thing Shawn

Welcome to the board... Nice catch!

Thanks Gerr... We'll hook up for sure... I appreciate most all of your comments lessons have obviously been learned. Nater, If it makes any difference which I am sure it wont, Please avoid posting whatsoever on any of my threads, I have yet to hear a constuctive comment from you, I will give the same courtesy

Thanks Joe... I agree 100% with your statement...
