Big Cliff Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 I was waiting to see what sort of a report he came back with and I am wondering if I missed it somewhere or he was just too embarassed to post about it?
Roy Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 He hasn't been online since the 17th at 12:40AM. Might be having trouble hauling all the fish back.
ketchenany Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 me too. this iPad thing may not be suitable for major OFC reports.
Roy Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Ok Snowfari, where is Mike and what have you done with him?
ketchenany Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Probably "pushing" the huts to deeper water . . . Saves 'extra' costs.
asdve23rveavwa Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 I need Dave's popcorn eating emoticon, again!!! I really am curious though, I still shudder to think that I almost booked with Snowfari last year.
Rod Caster Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 A mudpuppy in gunshot pose with reel in mouth would have been epic.
Rizzo Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 ok so I'm not the only one waiting to see if things have improved or there's nothing new under the sun
Roy Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Look at the bright side though. Maybe they're the hot place to go to now and Mike is so overwhelmed with joy that he's too emotional at the moment to post his report. That'd be great really. Especially for Mike but also for others planning a trip.
mike HT Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 I was waiting to see what sort of a report he came back with and I am wondering if I missed it somewhere or he was just too embarassed to post about it? Alright.. Sorry guys since i have been back i have done nothing but study, write midterms, eat and sleep. Snowfari... First off, the service was actually good. He has 2 guys that came around every morning and changed our crapper and our dish water, they also came around at 11 and 330 to see if we wanted to go out near the day huts so they could drill holes for us. They had a hut with minnows, dishwater and other necessities about 100 yards from us so if we needed anything we could just walk and get it. Next, hut location... Is wasnt very far off land and the fishing wasnt that good for us (its about 25-30 feet under the huts). All we got from the hut was 1 jumbo perch and about 8 mud puppies, but we did drive to the hut so we were able to take off to wherever we wanted. We would drive out a couple kilometers at 11 and come back around 6, we caught just about our limit of walleye everyday and a couple of perch, so we were happy about that. The weather was beautiful, blue bird -5 to -15, and no wind, we dont have a portable hut so the weather saved us! We had no problems with the owners, they seem like if you give them crap they will give you crap. So we didnt give them crap and didnt get out of control with the drinking at night and there were no problems. Overall 7.5 to 8, if the fishing picked up in the hut so we had something to do at night then just drink this trip would of been as good as it gets.
misfish Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 IS THERE A "SCRATCHING HEAD" EMOTION HERE?
Roy Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 Well I'm glad you had a decent time Mike. By all reports it wasn't looking good for you there.
Joeytier Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 LOL. Everyone seemed hellbent on giving you a hard-time. I bet some folks are bummed to see such a positive report. Good on ya for having a great time and getting some fish.
Sinker Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 just goes to show you can't believe everything you read on the internet! Sounds like you guys did alright, and had a good time! S.
Big Cliff Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Posted February 26, 2012 Well, I am glad it turned out better than most of the other reports we've seen on the place but I have to be honest, it will take a lot of glowing reports before I spend my money with them. Thanks for posting though!
crappieperchhunter Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 Still doesn't cut it for an ice bungalow experience as far as I am concerned. The only reason I would stay in one of those sub par things is if I had fish right under me. That's what the whole experience is about as far as I am concerned. If you have to get up in the morning and jump in your vehicle to go searching for fish you might as well stay with another outfitter in a nice COMFY ROOMY cabin on shore with a shower and all the other conveniences... and have them drive you out to there fishing shacks with fish right under them. Thanks however for taking the time to post a report.
Jer Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 Good to hear that they've pulled up their socks and you had a good time.

Thanks however for taking the time to post a report. EXACTLY! I think the report is exactly what I expected to read. There are no fish where he is located, with the exception of some mud puppies. Why would you go there just to use the bungalow for a place to sleep, go to a cabin or motel and enjoy sleeping in a bed instead of on plywood and crapping in a toilet instead of a pail. South Shore Ice Condos all the way!
Roy Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 It sounds like no matter how hard the dude tries, he'll never succeed. Just one of those things I guess. I'm still glad that Mike had a good time.
