I've got the Eskimo FatFish 949. Love it. I was out almost a dozen times last season and a few were just me, a couple with a buddy, a couple with my daughter and even a trip with all three kids and wife. Fantastic hut. Lots of room, stable, easy to set up. At the fullest I had my family, chairs for all, 2 camp tables, heater. Left my two sleds and auger outside. All the other times I had all gear inside.

That's great. Awesome video. Not sure what time you went thru but I was fishing down in the whirlpool that afternoon.

That set up is fantastic. Where did you get that bag?

If you are near Hamilton Mountain Bills Bait & Tackle will be open at 5am

We got to use our new x67c for the first time yesterday with my daughter. I turned on the fish I.D. feature and she loved that. She got to see schools of fish under our feet and could tell me what depth and approximate size. That was between catches naturally as the bite was on at Cooks bay. Our first ice fishing trip and it was great.

Bill's is a great shop. We have outfitted ourselves for ice fishing this year solely from them. The kids love going there to see the minnows and the dogs. Thanks Greg and Tim for setting us up.

I'm in Hamilton and dying to get out. It's our first season ice fishing and we as a family all got our first bit of gear. Can't wait to try it out. Can you PM me the ice your on?

Yes. I would like to know the answer too. Our family got our first ice fishing rods this Christmas and can't wait to get out. We too are from Hamilton. Merry Christmas everyone.

That's great info. Thanks.

Anybody been to the pier lately? It was recommended that I give it a try for walleye and to go late in the evening. Just wondering if the bite was on and perhaps what I should bring for gear. Having never been is the pier lit up or should I be bringing light with me?

I should add this. Should I make my way out to the mouth of the marina? Would this provide any more chance of a bite?

Do walleye ever come into the marina? Was at the perch derby on Saturday and saw a few guys pull a couple perch (the bite just not on) I believe a bass or two and there were some nice size browns swimming around. Just thought I'd ask and see if anyone has some idea.

Well hopefully we'll meet each other at the club meeting?

Had a good time this morning. The bite was slow (for me nothing) but that's okay. Got to meet some fellow fishermen and OFNers. The club sounds like a good bunch and I think I'll be going to the next meeting to check it out further. Thanks to the members of this forum for posting about this event that I would not have know about otherwise. Keep the info coming. If I could ask one thing. When posting about any general fishing spot (50 point marina in this case or a general area like Bayfront park etc) could you include the lure or bait presentation that has been working for you there. Each of us have our own rhythm so I dont think you'll lose any fish. Just interesting to know what has been working so we can either try something new or go back to something we have overlooked. As a new fisherman in like a sponge and enjoy soaking up all the tips I can get. Cheers
