Crappies, bluegills, pumpkinseeds, perch. They are called PANfish for a good reason......Heck, even rock bass are very tasty! But for the rock bass, get them on ice as soon as you catch them, or they go very mushy, very quickly. Hard to beat a shore lunch of fresh walleye fillets too! And all of the...

Good article Justin, and thanks for sharing. I have owned several portables, and I forget how many "NON" portables, some of which met tragic ends, like the time we had a January thaw on Lake Simcoe and my eight hundred pound shack went through the ice, floated, and then froze in with the f...

back to topraider, absolutely right! Before I became a bow-hunting fanatic, I was a 'bow-fishing fanatic and December was the month for the chrome-sided steelies. But back then I lived near Barrie and had some fabulous streams within an hour or so: the Beaver, Pine, Nottawasaga, Mad, Pretty, etc etc...

Time to think about ice fishing, but....... Is there ice anywhere? Nipissing? Temagami? Thunder Bay? Iqaluit? The only ice I am seeing is...

Normally by now MOST years I have been out for four to five weeks on the hard water, but by all accounts we have no fishable ice yet. I have not been out to look, based on reports from all of the usual suspects, but.... Is there any fishable ice within an hour or so of Kingston? or is this mild weat...

Where is Shirley's Bay, and how much ice is there? I am getting cabin fever with all this mild weather.........
