First ice fishing hut

Hi Everyone, me and a couple buddies are looking to make our first little hut. It will be 4x8 with the rounded tops and covering with a tarp. I was wondering if the group has experiences with this type of small hut, and have any tips and tricks for operating it smoothly. I've got ice anchors to keep...

Re: Bait Shops

I actually contacted the MNR a couple weeks ago and suggested they list all the bait shops on their site. They're already receiving money from the registered bait shops, have their addresses, have the information about which bmz they're selling bait for, etc. It would take little effort for them to ...

Ice Reports

Hello Everyone, hope you had a great and safe soft water season. Just looking to see if anyone knows of any lakes right now with relatively safe ice. Not looking for hot spots, or looking to take a polar dive, just looking to get out if possible. We take all precautions going out, spud bars, ice pic...

Re: Duck hunting Mississippi lake

I would hunt but I'm a newbie for sure, and never hunted that body. I know there are conservation areas to be aware of. I've got mallard and goose decoys.

Re: Turkey Season

Very nice bird RJ, and congrats on the bow kill. I'm going to try the crossbow next year, and eventually I'll get back into the compound action. Clearly I need to take notes on displaying birds better.

Turkey Season

Hey Everyone, just thought I'd check in on how everyone's turkey season has been going so far. Have you been hearing gobbles, or lucky enough to bag a bird or two yet. Just to share my experience, this is me and my wife's second year of turkey hunting together (her second year hunting ever). We look...

Re: At least No Skunk on the Ice

I don't post often, but saw this portion on the smitty sled. I just built one last friday for the weekend and used it saturday. What a difference in pulling. I wish I did it 15 years ago. I cannot stress enough how awesome these things are if you have to walk any distance in 4+ inches of snow. I bui...

Ice Fishing Petawawa

Hey Guys, I go to Petawawa for work once or twice a month and I was wondering if anyone knew of nearby lakes or bodies of water that have decent fishing and walkable access. Not looking for hot spots, just looking to get out on the ice when its ready instead of sitting in the hotel room.

Re: First Trout

My buddy said it was odd that we caught the pike, but fishonline says there's lots of different species in there.

First Trout

I don't normally post, but enjoy reading everyone's threads. I thought I would share my first trout catch which was on my bucket list for a few years now. We nailed 9 splake and a pike in just under 4 hours. I can't wait to get out again.

Trolling motor battery issues

Hey Guys, my dads boat has been having issues with his trolling motor battery life since last year. After about two hours of solid use, they lose power, to the point of turning off power to the Ulterra. The batteries are about 5 years old and are gel type. I don't know the amp hours off hand, but th...
