Hi all,

 

My 2 good buddies came round today and helped me get my ice shack out to he ice road, straight off the lawn and a mile or so away on the ice road.

 

 

I decided to put it on the ice road as the fishing on our lake in the winter (around where we live anyway) can be very slow. I figured if i aint catching too many fish....might as well be social and meet some more folk.

 

 

First job was unsticking the runners from the lawn....4 wheeler first....nope,........truck next......nope,......jacked it up on one side and it popped off the grass and back to the 4 wheeler with the truck following behind to stop the whole thing sliding down the hill on top of poor Tyler.

 

 

The ice is as slick as newly Zambonied ice (is 'Zambonied' a word even?) so we had to push until momentum built up a couple of times until Tyler just gave the throttle heck all the way!

 

 

We ....well....Carmon and Tyler even did me the favour of getting the Shack Christened with walleye slime and i got a supper.

 

 

My wife and son visited on the way back from town...but it was a bit dark and cold to hang out.

Simon---not sure where you set it but the half of the road closest to Parker Point used to produce more than the half on the Gov't dock side

You're out having all this fun and I'm a couple of miles away working 12 hour days, huh Simon? Anyways, have fun this winter Bud. When I get a day when I'm not so burnt out after work, we'll get together for a chin wag.

Jealousy. I tried to go softwater fishing yesterday night, only to find everything iced over...But with our weather coming up for the rest of the week, I don't think I'll be on the ice for a long while.

Thanks again for the replies folks.

 

Its actually really nice having the shack on the ice road....has already become a focal point for a couple of my buddies. Jack is still a bit unsure of it, but he seemed a bit more relaxed in it last night when we visited a buddy who called to say he was down there chillin' after work.

 

Still some stuff to do. Got the metal sheeting and some copper pipe to do the 'spacers', trying to figure out how to re-arrange the interior to accomodate one more hole for fishing.....its really a 2 man set up.

 

 

All in all fun times for sure...i had never even heard of an iceshack let alone an 'Iceroad 5 years ago!

 

 

 

Truck quality ice??... and I'm planning on trolling for 'skis come Friday !

 

Good luck Wayne...report please.

I know exactly where you mean, in fact i caught my first ever Pike right there...its actually just off to the right of my Uncles house. But we set up where we are for 'social' reasons,,,,a few people i know in our little circle of wagons.

 

 

I am so jealous. Have a great season.

 

Ahhh...Grimace...you'll be out soon enough.

 

Simon

Good for you, Enjoy

 

Here in the Banana Belt there is Zero ice on Simcoe!!

Should have an awesome report from the shack on 'Family Day' this year....the whole of the town decends onto the ice road....should be great having a semi permanent residence there!

 

 

I like the word 'Zambonied' too :thumbsup_anim:

If you have that much ice already, I could see building a Ice Resort as you will get several months of use out of it....down here, I am thinking ice fishing has been cancelled and the government forgot to tell us... :rolleyes:
