  1. Runners don't help with the hand pulling. They are for protecting the tub if you're pulling over concrete on the road or pulling behind a machine on ice. You want a Smitty sled to lift your hut off the snow so it's not plowing it while you're hand pulling. Less friction.
  2. Here is a used stradic for $145. Size 1000, should be perfectly fine for your needs. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-fishing-camping-outdoor/city-of-toronto/mint-shimano-stradic-1000fi-spinning-reel/1297722294?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
  3. Congrats Cliff. I went there for the first time this year and it wasn't that great for me. But I'm glad to hear you're doing well
  4. Got freaked out for a second but nope, I bought fish crisp.
  5. Labor day weekend is upon us. This marks the end of the summer and time to pack away the trolling gear. Some of it will come back out in a couple months for walleye when the action really heats up in Quinte. The salmon action I heard was spectacular this year on Lake O. Guys were hammering them out there all day, everyday. I was only able to get out a few times this summer and although it wasn't the smashing success everyone had, I didn't fare too poorly either. The launch I normally use is Bluffers but due to the construction and high water levels, it was shut down this year. I had to use an alternative, so off to Ashbridges. I didn't fancy the idea of battling it out with crowds and the limited parking, so I think that was my major deterrent this year. Here was a small video of one of those days on the water this year. We did end up with a double digit day, most the fish coming off of the dipsey divers, about 150 ft back. I stuck around the Spits/Bluffs area. A few pics to show from the outings. Some inspired by MJL's great shots So as the summer ends, this also means a new opportunity. This is the time when the salmon fishing out on the main lake slows down as the fish stage and move into the river systems to do their thing. This was my first time really trying to cast spoons and cranks for kings in the mouths of rivers. I hear of people and friends going every year, to the piers chucking for them. So this was the year, I tried it, but from my boat. Just out of casting distance from the shore anglers. Parked myself out in 20-30 FOW and went at it. Fish were surfacing everywhere. We were bound to hook up, right? Still some time left for catching Kings out in the lake before they all shoot up the rivers. Thanks for looking. Kevin
  6. It's spring and there are a ton of carp in the shallows now. Great opportunity to try out fishing for those large goldfish. Just some corn on a hook will do, they seem to be in quite the feeding mood. We grabbed some random rods and went at it. We even used the same rods later that evening for walleye. Have a gander and enjoy the video.
  7. Fished rice. It was pretty stellar.
  8. Hey Ryan, great video. Amazing. I don't post much anymore but it's been fun seeing your posts and watching Averie grow up. I wish you all the best in this new adventure!
  9. Better hurry. All photography gear will be increasing in prices very shortly. Henry's put out a statement that starting April 1st, their prices will be increasing 15%+ due to the Canadian dollar. Depending on your needs, I would look long and hard at mirrorless cameras. They take great photos and videos, at a fraction of the size of a full size dslr. MJL on the board just jumped on the mirrorless bandwagon. I'll wait for him to chime in
  10. 1. 2. 3.I don't have the new fuel yet. Glad it helps. If you ice fish, you need electronics! Fishing blind isn't the same. Thanks Joeytier... We just got a dumping of snow, so this coming weekend (which is a good chance of being our last) won't be so walker friendly.
  11. Thanks gang. I'll be sure to use a beefier rod and give'r next time. Most of the time I'm using a M or MH, but that day I was using a ML only and that didn't have enough backbone to really set it... No excuses! Motojoe - I was on the south shore of Kempenfelt bay. I used a ice transducer for the 999. The ice hasn't been ideal this year but you gotta do what you gotta do!
  12. I usually do give them a good rip but these times I took it that since they had smacked it pretty hard while I was reeling up, it would suffice... WOW. Thanks for catching that. I'm a month behind. crap.
  13. Well.. I have for you a video from this past Saturday on Lake Simcoe, ice fishing for lake trout. At the beginning of the day, I hooked up immediately and it looked like it was going to be a stellar day. However, the action for me was all within the first hour. Nevertheless, I got some good footage and was able to get this video up. Have a gander, I especially enjoy the sonar footage
  14. I appreciate your statement. Caution should always be taken when heading out on the ice, even when it is thicker. You just never know.
  15. Glad you guys liked the video. Thanks everyone for the kind words. Most went back except for one that took it a bit too deep and into the gills Thanks NAW and thanks for the concern. I won't argue that it wasn't risky. Agreed. I don't think I will would want to venture out there again this week. Bingo. One whitie was iced We saw them come and go but only one committed.
  16. Wasn't very thick. 3-3.5" so it is a bit sketchy.
  17. Well this past weekend, it seemed like it was the first opportunity to find some semi decent ice to walk on at Simcoe. So a bunch of us decided to try our hands at landing our first laker of the year. We arrived at around 8am to find ourselves to be not the only fools there. Once we got to a spot in about 90 FOW, before I had a chance to even drill a hole (since I kept walking further), Dru and Mike hooked up back to back to back. This further delayed my fishing time since I ran back to them to film..... This was just the first few minutes of the day. The rest of the day wasn't as stellar but by no means am I complaining about the action, I got a pretty good work out running around filming. Below is a highlight video of the day. Enjoy
  18. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad and it is solid. Four years old and after a few drops, it boots up does what I need it to do. The most CPU demanding thing I do on it is video editing. I also have a monitor hooked up to it, that's a check mark off your list. If you don't mind, there are lots of good deals on refurbished lenovo laptops. This one will handle microsoft word no problem.... https://ca.refurb.io/products/lenovo-thinkpad-t420-laptop-4gb-320gb-i5-2-5ghz?siteID=CAqD7bLWUPI-298_zlIC2J05mQqIm8ye1A
