The wife invited me to visit Thunder Bay for a weekend. Before deciding, I called some bait stores in Thunderbay. Out of 8 listed stores only 1 answered up the phone (3pm ish) and they had gone out of business. He adviced me to call 2 other stores that might have bait. No one picked up. Got 4 or 5 answering machines. One had a message saying that ice fishing is happening.
That was good enough for me. I told her to book me a flight. Hotels.ca : $77/night for Motel 8. Car rental (compact) $15/day. Flight $400ish (Porter) + $25 baggage fee (I will be bringing an auger/Baffin Titans/floatsuit).
Now that I am committed, anyone want to clue me in as to what to expect in Thunderbay in 2 weeks? Weathernetwork predicts 0 to -10C for that weekend. Will it look like Buffalo when we get there? 5' of snow? Where can I find some fish?
Thanks.
