Thanks! This worked very good and the blades are cutting again getting through ice in about 20 seconds. Thank you again

Thanks Costa, but that's too far for me to drive just to get it sharpened, I think ill just buy new ones from around here. Thanks again.

Ok I get it, no more banging it off the ice to get ice shavings off of it, can't think of anything else I've done wrong but I'll take more precaution from now on.

Thank you guys.

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think cootes is worth fishing as it is too shallow, If you were catchin fishing a couple weeks ago, I would head back to where you had success instead of cootes. Or try Binbrook for some crappie.

Will try and keep better care of the blades from now on, self teaching ice fishing, theres a lot to remember and you learn a lot of new things through trial and error

Excuse the last post, didn't go through as I wanted. Anywho yes I have admittedly bashed the blades of the ice in order to get chips off of it, my bad! haha so I guess I need these replaced. Can I possibly sharpen them on my own by chance?

Heres the picture, most likely backing you guys up on the bashed up blades idea... sorry for my stupidity

Didn't notice anything out of the usual, maybe it will help if I post a picture, will do that after dinner, thanks.

Hey guys,

Fairly new to ice fishing, started last year and my auger worked fine all year and worked fine for my first outing this year. Its a low end Rapala Nordic (probably my first problem) However today it just wasn't grabbing on my local creek for sunfish, when trying To start a new hole it would just spin all over the ice and make a very wide awkward hole and what normally takes me 30 seconds was taking me 10-20 minutes. Somethings not right just not sure what exactly it is haha. New blades, sharpen blades, new auger I have no clue. Just wanted some experienced input before I made an unnecessary investment. (Ive Maybe drilled 20-30 holes with this auger)

Thanks guys!

Thanks for the input guys!! I will look into all of your suggestions, I appreciate it!

That double eye is something I've never seen or heard about, looks interesting and effective. Good job!

Right on, nice reward for the rough morning!

If you post the area you'd like to be in it would help guys with suggestions.

North of TO, willing to travel 3 hours from there. I like the northern country the best haha.

Hello, my family is looking for a seasonal site to keep our trailer at for the season because lugging it around to PP's is getting tiring, as great as some of those parks are. However were having a hard time finding a good park, some of the websites don't have info etc. We have found that a lot of the nicer quiter parks don't even have a website. Anyway back to the point were looking for suggestion for a campground, preferably have waterfront sites, water/sewage/electricity, and personally one that has GREAT fishing haha. If you have any suggestions you can on me or post on here. Any tips are greatly appreciated thanks!

However haven't seen as many people out this year as last year, could be the colder temps though haha.

Having a hard time getting the picture up off my phone, not sure if everyone can see it haha

Me and my buddy headed to Lake Niapenco yesterday and it was a chilly one. Ice was about 10-12 inches and it was about -30 on the lake with windchill. Both new to ice fishing (his first time, my 3rd) we didn't get much for the first hour, a couple takes but nothing to show for it, moved spots and bingo, he's got his first fish through the ice, and the picture basically shows it all..

There was maybe 2-4 inches on snow on the ice id say, and only saw one slushy spot, the rest was hard ice.

Walked out onto the lake on the 3rd, was a good 6 inches in the spot I was on.

Unless its a big boat I wouldn't launch at rock point, most likely to big of waves. If you plan on fishing the river itself there is a launch at fishmasters, one at the pier and one up towards the Dam. Have launched once at dam and I believe it was $5, that's the only one ive used.

Figured it out, was having some technical difficulties and all of the areas that I wanted were apperently in china! Haha all figured out now though

Looking for some areas to hunt down some fish but only have the coordinates for the areas.. Could anyone help me as to how to put these into google maps?

I would but I'm not really sure where to go about that. The only place I know is almost all private property.

Hello folks,

Looking for someone to point me in the direction of a place for me to go fishing this upcoming weekend. I want to try and target something new and different then the normal bass and crappie. Not really interested in carp or cats either. If anyone knows a place within 2 hours of caledonia that you could suggest it would be greatly appreciated! I have waders and a canoe with a motor, so Lake Erie and ontario are not an option.

Got into some bass on the outlet river and just into east lake, nothing huge but some decent 2 pounders. Other then that didn't get out as much as I wanted as the whole family came down with big sinus colds and the beach was shut down due to E.coli, to sum it up the trip stunk

I was about to suggest sail Brian, but just flipped through the catalogue and didn't see one so now I'm unsure.
