Nice job Slayingm,

Have you heard of any Whitefish being caught out there so far this year? I tried that area a few weeks back and was inundated with smaller Perch.

I did take some huge rips off a windlass set 4 feet off bottom though...

You were lucky my friend.

Great Lakes water and/or ice is dangerous if you are venturing into the unknown, especially with this insane weather. Before you head out get informed from multiple sources and trust your instincts.

Glad to hear you weren't a statistic.

This looks like it would be a lot of fun.

Where exactly is Sainte-Anne de la Pérade?

:) Scuro, if you have the time next summer, we should get out off Port Burwell. Burwell is one of those places where featureless flats rule and the Walleye are both suspended and hugging bottom. The fish are generally long and not too heavy (5-7lbs), but it's the only place I know where you can catc...

:) You're right Justin. Big Bait = Big Pike Those little shiners might only ever entice a snot rocket, but put a decent sucker minnow on and "pa-zing" start considering the need for a 10" auger. :wink: A classic case of go big or go home. ps. I also lift the bait 4-6 feet off bottom. ...

:) The beautiful thing about Ottawa CharlieD is that you can get everywhere very quickly. From where you're staying, you can get to Petrie in 20-30 mins. tops. Like the guys say, there's always someone out on the ice. I'd start at Crappie bay and then mosey over to Walleye Bay if the bite gets slow....

I hope Crash bought the lunch and Coffee!!! :) one thing about having a third on the boat....your share of the fuel costs go down, with three pitching in./...great Job guys, :) I'm sure he would have kicked in Big-O... We all agree it's the right thing to do. :wink: Let me know when you're down nex...

Glad to see you lads did well.

Polish Sausage?! Now I know why they call em' "greasers".

The action at the dock was Ok. I've got to get my head around this bottom bouncing thing.

Great seeing you guys again and Happy New Year!

FFF, if you want to hook up, I'm all for it. I'll be shore fishing.

The weather looks like it might be alright... The S/W blow ends tomorrow.

I've got a spot in mind for the 28th for some fellowship. I'll poll the electorate on the 28th. to find out a preference.

If we're lucky the trip won't get cancelled because of a muddy river.

:) For what it's worth, the truck was indeed on the ice... On Jan 22, 2005 when I took the photo off Gilford Ont. I doubt anyone is brave enough to put a vehicle on the ice yet this season. Pickerel Boy Senior... I sent you a message. :wink: Good luck. I don't know what's going on with the Pike but ...

:) Methinks Sir Skooter will be better prepared for the ice fishing this year. :wink: I haven't seen anyone that frozen before in my life. Jan 22, 2005 a day that will live in infamy. :lol: Btw. Wolfe, WTG on the extra verses. :wink: Merry Christmas all and to all, I hope you get a bite. :) Legend

Merry Christmas to everyone at FH.Net.

How are we going to top 2005? It's been a great year and I can only wish you all a healthy and prosperous and fishful 2006.

All the best from the Legend family.

I don't know if this guy is from Ottawa but he should be.

Forget MT's toy... Check this out. A V8 Snowblower

:) Well I was indeed fortunate enough to have some time off before the big Christmas rush and what better way to spend it, than to get out on the ice. In these parts it's not often that the ice is safe prior to Christmas so we decided to make the most of it. :wink: On Saturday I hooked up with Salmo...
