Hi Guys

I guess I can scrap my plans for putting potoons on my ice hut. My friend is coming up on the 25th from Toronto. Might still be dicey for getting my hut out by then though.

Steve the ice will be here to stay this time around. I see a stretch of 2-3 weeks of -25 to -30 deg, just like the good old days.

Could it be true?? I mean, does this mean I may FINALLY get to get out there and try my new Ice toys???

Ahhh one can only dream....

But honestly, if it's safe out there, someone PLEASE send me a PM so I can finally get out there!


Bondo, that means you'll be coming with me dude, no excuses!!

Drove down to Hay Shore for a look see and the ice cover already extends clear across the lake. Even the narrows at Lake Park Lodge is frozen right across. Less than a week ago I could envision the start of a bass tourney leaving the bay. A week of these temps and I smell two stroke cold smoke filling the air at our local lakes. Yes!

Still a small area of open water on the Rideau when I came across the 416 Bridge around 3:30 today. :( Temperature outside right now is +2. Lets hope that cold weather comes back in fast and hard :!:

Hey Braeside... that snorkel and flippers comment although I believe was made in jest.. has a kind of "Head Butt" ring to it so be careful you don't cross the line here and get negative waves going again...oops!! can I say waves...that would insinuate open water.. :oops:

Speakng of big sticks....I still like Joe Don Baker in the first Walking Tall better then the ROCK...but I still like the Rock.

BIG STICK...I like that has a nice ring...just like a Head Butt...
