Re: First Open Water Trip

Mike P, I guess one has to be careful what they wish for (eg. a loooong ice fishing season). I got almost 7 weeks on the hardwater in my region. I can't imagine what almost 5 months of ice fishing would look like. I've never had to add an extension to an auger either. Came close in Ottawa the 2005/2...

Re: Coldest winter in 30 years...but some HOT fishing.

Great diversity as always, RJ and the spice to life. My favorite pic though is the beastly looking Pumpkinseed :shock: :) very cool! I'm hearing through channels you still have around 3 ft. of ice around your region? I guess that would equate to the coldest winter in 30 years!

Re: HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Talk about a hard server crash....holy smokes! I have to admit to some serious withdrawal over the last month! I'm glad you are back FH, even if it's limping along at a snails pace.
