I know this was posted last year.......just curious to know what everyone's favourite drinks/snacks are while fishing? I like coffee and homemade muffins in the morning Pepperettes/Sandwiches and gatorade during the day. Thanks.

How would you rank the following factors when fishing for Pike................ Lure action Colour Speed Depth Thanks.

Please excuse the possible dumb question.........Raf, what makes your leader work better than a pre-made/store bought one? Is it the big loop on the end where the snap is?

Thanks very much. I appreciate it.

One other question.......I'll be using these leaders for Pike. Will it make that much of a difference? Or can I just use a black titanium leader and get the same results - lots of fish. Pike are predators, some I'm not sure I need to use fluoro. Although Musky hunters use fluoro leaders and I doubt a musky is line shy too often. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I was thinking of buying the pre-made one that is 60# test. If you use 50#, is there much difference other than strength? If I'm using 1oz baits, spoons, spinners etc. would it be ok to use the 60# test?

Has anybody used these for Pike fishing? I would assume they are made for Musky, but could be used for Pike? Do they effect the lure's action too much? Oh ya, they have gigantic snap swivels on them! Does that matter? Thanks in advance.

I joined the board..........love Pike fishing.

I have been looking everywhere for this magazine. It has some great info in it! I couldn't find it last year either and I looked EVERYWHERE for it.

Hey Marc, I thought the whole point of this line was that it is virtually invisible? Have you used it on the water? Anybody else have any insights?

Has anybody used this line? I think it's fairly new, but I'm not 100% sure. Any reviews/comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it.

Does anyone else have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.

Hi Everyone, My buddies and I are looking for a good lake that has good Pickerel and Pike fishing in Aug/Sept that is approx. 4-5 hrs away from T.O. We want to get away from the crowds and heavy fishing pressure. Can you please suggest some places? Thanks!

Hey everyone, Can I please get some recommendations for line to buy for my pike rod? I will be using a spinning set up. Thank you in advance!

Thank you Sir!

Hey everyone, When do the hut operators typically shut down their ice fishing operations on Simcoe? Thanks!

My brother in law has the pics, so I will post them here soon. I agree that the bungalow should not be a staging point for our trip. I will most likely try another outfitter just to get a sense of good or bad operation. Quite frankly I can't say anything about Snowfari Adventures, we had a good time.

Hello, I just got back from fishing on Nip and my outfitter of choice was Snowfari Adventures. I would give Ron & Donna's operation about a 7/10. Another member of this board referred them to me, since I had no clue who to pick out of all the outiftters up there. I would be lying if I said that what I have read on here in the last little while didn't distort my expectations, but I tried to approach this weekend with an open mind. This was our first trip up north for a weekend of ice fishing, so maybe my expectations were not as high as others? They were nice people, they stopped by to say hello and make sure we had enough propane, minnows and if the fish were biting. We caught one pickerel and a few perch the first day in our hut. The next morning, Ron stopped by and asked if we wanted to go out and try a couple of other spots - we were game. He took us out in his transporter and we sat out in the great outdoors trying to catch us some fish - we were successful. Another guy came out about 2 hrs later asking if we wanted to go back to our hut and two guys in our group were ready to go - pansies. LOL. Later that day we caught some more perch out of our hut, enough to have a feed. A couple of the guys in our hut had never had a shore "supper" before, so they were in for a treat. Both of them ate everything in sight and loved it so much that they were definitely willing to get up bright and early the next morning to catch more. So.....the next day we caught a few more perch and another pickerel from the hut and left before noon. Overall.... 1. The service was friendly, Ron & Donna run a hospitable operation. 2. Fishing was decent and from what I have heard the bite in Nip is "off" this year. So I think we did ok? 3. The bungalows were good and had enough room for 6 guys to play poker at night and still stumble around without tripping over one another - lol. What more could I ask for? I would be naive to think that the previous comments on this board didn't change Ron & Donna's perspective on customer service.....so maybe I benefited from them? Is that a bad thing? No, but I think the messages were received loud and clear and have possibly changed the whole situation for the better. Just my 2 cents.

Hello, What are the drawbacks of using a regular portable fishfinder while ice fishing? I would assume the transducer might not be insulated enough to use during the winter? Thanks in advance.

Where can I buy pre-made quick strike rigs in the Brampton/Mississauga area? I went to BPS today and they don't sell them. Thanks.

Excellent info guys! Thank you very much!

Thanks for your help guys! I appreciate it.

Hi everyone, I'm gonna try river/stream fishing for trout this year and I have absolutely no clue what I need in terms of equipment. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, Does anyone know what the recommended distance is between vehicles when traveling on the ice? I realize ice thickness would be a factor, but is there a "rule of thumb"? Thanks.
