Why, whats wrong with the yellow snow???

Well according to the weather network this morning we are expected to get up to 45 cm of snow on Sunday.

Not the best thing for getting on the ice early!

I could be wrong but I am assuming the NCC does not allow people to fish there due to safety reasons as well as they are preparing for the canal to open.

Its purely on the surface but drives me nuts. I hate throwing away hooks not knowing if they can be salvaged .

Alright..no matter what I do I always end up with somewhat rusty hooks. Most of the time they are not even used ! Is there something to bring them back to there original condition?

I was thinking soaking them in CLR or Coke?

What do you guys do?

I am all about muskrat. I love that place but never do well for the trout. I have seen them circling below the ice with no avail . With that being said it is directly off a major higway and usualy produces good consistent ice. For that reason I will say muskrat . Oh and my PB Laker is from there. John

Well this winter I want to make a point of fishing somewhere different. I was thinking either Lake simcoe for some whitie's and Lakers . Then I noticed that Georgian Bay is not that far off . Anybody know if there is a decent amount of trout in the bay? Does it freeze enough to make it safe? I would...

Nice looking boat. A heard that some of the Stingers and Scorpions had an issue with the front digging in while turning. This is only hear-say and not factual. Just thought I would let you know.

I usualy launch out of Cobden but was curious if there was a launch further down the road. I know we access the ice at the end of waterview and looks like there might even be a launch there. Can anybody confirm this? It will save us alot of time since we will be in a smaller boat

Dan, If you trim up a bit it will always run off the end of the cavitation plate in a predictable manner . Did you change the filter? I find that to be the messiest on some models !

Soo...who wants to plan a fall trip for next year?

Well I might be in the market for a new ice shelter. I was curious if anybody has the Clam Nanook ? How do you like it ?

Is it wirth the extra $130 and getting the thermal top?

I am by no means an expert when it comes to smallies but dont let water temp stop you! These fish know that winter is around the corner and are feeding heavily . Its all about presentation . Last week I was getting smallies on a suspended jerk bait. I had to pause for 30 seconds before they would hi...

Thanks. This year with the new tow vehicle I have been lucky to visit many new places .

I will rethink my next destination who knows might end up ton the Quebec side .

Alright so everybody heads to Quinte this time of year for the BIG EYE's . I have never been and would like to fish the deseronto area for smallmouth. Is it worth my 3 hour drive? Are the smallies active this time of year in the area?
