limeyangler Posted December 13, 2011 Report Posted December 13, 2011 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. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gr6abLw0xyw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> </iframe>
Sinker Posted December 13, 2011 Report Posted December 13, 2011 Well, I'll be floating in my boat for a while yet. No complaints here!! S.
bushart Posted December 13, 2011 Report Posted December 13, 2011 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

danc Posted December 13, 2011 Report Posted December 13, 2011 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.

EC1 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 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.
kickingfrog Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 How far north are you? He could only answer that if he knew how far "south" you are. BTW listed under his avatar is Dryden.
asdve23rveavwa Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 Great stuff, Simon! Enjoy!!!!!
Freshtrax Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 Dont get to see the avatar on a smartphone im in barrie.
limeyangler Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Posted December 15, 2011 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. Just past half way is best Simon----not too close to Parker Point though in case you move it Saugers will keep ya busy an hour before dark there for sure few gators as well 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!! Rick LOL...@ banana belt. That's awesome man! Lookin' forward to some reports from the SHACK Oh, and zambonied is totally a word...zamboni-ing is the present tense 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
limeyangler Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Posted December 15, 2011 very nice ... whats the ice thickness up there ? 10- 12" and forming quick....no snow so far this year! Better get some soon...i'm a bit worried about my septic field! YOUR SO LUCKY...I'M COMING OUT OF MY SKIN RIGHT NOW...IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE A LATE SEASON FOR GB AND SIMCO...BLODDY HELL Hang in there CB...hang in there...i feel your pain....i know what its like waiting for the ice too. Simon, have you been told lately? j/k good for you and I hope the season is a good one. No Geoff i haven't...come on...talk dirty to me...LOLOLOLOL 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. LOL...ive done that too...bittersweet...no fishing for a while...but ice season very close! How far north are you? I'm in Dryden Freshtrax Great stuff, Simon! Enjoy!!!!! Will do Frankaroonie!
fishnsled Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 I'm loving this ice fishing from a distance. Shack looks great Simon! One more trip to the open water and then let the freezing begin.
Billy Bob Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 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...
Joeytier Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 Awesome! I am officially primed for the hard water.
phiphntek Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 just tuned up my ice gear underneath a palm tree here in Niagara
