manitoubass2 Posted December 19, 2016 Report Posted December 19, 2016 ^^^ I think simons smitty has more horsepower than yours, plus its heated???
wormdunker Posted December 19, 2016 Report Posted December 19, 2016 Nice slabs Nick! You got me drooling! I'm 1 of those guys watching TV waiting for safe ice on Simcoe.
Jds63 Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 Thanks for the post ! Itching to get out there soon too!
NAW Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Posted December 20, 2016 Nice fish, you have good taste in augers as well! My girlfriend bought me that last year for Christmas! I hardly use my power auger now.. So lights and stiff. Cuts like butter! Nice bud. Nice hub too. LOL This weekend is going to be the start. I cant take another weekend of not fishing. I'm grounded this weekend. But good luck out there Bri! Nice haul there Nick, won't be long now till I can get out, killing me with those slab pictures, we have pretty good crappie on our home lake now, five minute ride round our point….2 more days at work and then I'm off!!!! We have around 12" of ice here now, love having the ice road, saves about 20 minutes of the ride to town. Jesus Simon! That makes me jealous. I would have an amazing fish hut if I had a season that long! It would be like a second home. Nice slabs Nick! You got me drooling! I'm 1 of those guys watching TV waiting for safe ice on Simcoe. If I had to wait untill Simcoe froze over before I went out ice fishing,... I'd be one angry bear.
Acountdeleted Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 I'll add a bit of fish porn In Nick's hut with his power heater. I felt guilty to be honest, this is the most comfortable I have ever been ice fishing. The missus likes selfies so I decided to send her one of us out on the ice. A bit of dinner/snack. Nick would like you to know most of these are his. But I did land 1 crappie and a couple of perch.
manitoubass2 Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 Nice going guys!!!! Set up looks perfect too!
NAW Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Posted December 20, 2016 The set up is great!! Big fat fish hut. Easily fish 2 guys in it. The 10ln tank I found on the side of the road for free! And the heaters was on sale at CT... Keeps the place toasty warm on the lowest setting. I used to hate fishing out of huts. But I am getting to much grey in my beard these days!!
Old Ironmaker Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 Them there are some nice pics Nick. You have gotten an early start on most of you ice guys. Bigugly Bruce. Open water Perch? In this weather? You are either a tough dude or are crazy, maybe a little of both. The way the temps have been and the wind blowing here we should have ice on Long Point Bay this winter. Keep all the ice fishing reports coming, I am really looking forward to our 30 year Nipissing reunion this winter. 9 in so far. 1 coming from Atlanta Ga. I couldn't believe how many places were still available to rent. 25 years ago there were waiting lists at Nip. If we didn't give a deposit for next year before we left no guarantee we would get a rental cottage. And the prices are nearly the same as 20 years ago.
