Hi Everyone : I went ice fishing with someone who had a vexilar. I had a good laugh when I could see the fish approach a small jig. We had caught numerous fish by changing presentations based on the "approach" that the fish had according to the vexilar readout. My question is : I want to p...

I won't be fishing tonight due to a returning flu..... Len

I was out fishing on a lake near Perth last night. I caught 2 walleye in the 3-4 lb range (24 inches +). I never had much luck ice fishing until I got some tips from someone at LeBaron in Ottawa.

Hi :

I'm not being denied access in the winter. These summer launch points are either in fast moving water (which does not freeze in the winter) or are too far away from good ice fishing points....

I pay for access to these lakes in summer. If the ice gets thick enough to be safe, I will be attempting to i...
