She thanks you for that, we just love getting out together, but yeah she said we need to concentrate on “better FISHING spots, not just pretty scenery…Dad”. She’s my med partner and the other member of Team Awesome and at 28 loves everything outdoors. Her brother got her a pure carbon rod with a shimano reel on it for Xmas, whipped that little trout outta the hole at light speed LOL. Waiting for my eldest daughter and the grandson to get over the sniffles (co-vid) so they can come out fishing again, maybe this weekend.

4 different lakes 4 different days SKUNKED…all we caught was a buzz… I’m getting too old for 4 km walks in 6" of snow, great exercise but I like it when the snow is thin on the ice and the sled glides easy. I drove into the ATV dealer on the way home lol. Sled, ATV or Snodog ? I guess being a better fisherman would be the first step…lol.

That’s why I frown upon ice fishing rather be out on the open water casting lines not dropping them lol …usually a whole lotta work for nothing if you’re going for the big dogs but when you do get one it’s usually a nice one
Jigging panfish is fun though

I have only fished three times but my best friend is a fish monger and talks about fish and seafood constantly. I learn all the time about Walleye and Wreckfish all these fish out there. She has a book about identifying shark species without their heads. Yikes.

Yeah its more of a getting outdoors adventure when fishing new lakes. Its better to ice fish than not fish. BUT the real LURE of ice fishing (to me) is getting my mobile man cave on the ice and smoking my brains out without nosey cottagers yelling at me to stop partying at the end of their dock. We know where to put the permanent hut so we are on fish all winter. Remember the custom vans from the 70’s? Some of the huts even have satellite tv and internet LOL. More like fishing with a bobber in your living room than run and gun tournament fishing for bass. And if you do have a girlfriend/wife who likes to icefish or camp well, when the fish aren’t biting, you don’t have to boat to some private cove just to see her titties, The majority of Canadian births happen in the fall, incidentally LOL

Was gonna put the hut out today, but my son-in-law smoked a deer last night in his pickup. My daughter told him “you drive a Dodge dummy, you’re supposed to Dodge the deer.” Ruthless is my daughter. She wants the hut out there LOL. Will post up when we get her out there.

20 years before my time brother !
My one buddies family had a Ford econoline best vehicle to go up-to the river and stay the weekend
Can’t beat it really no matter what the trouble I always have found a good walk through the woods eases my mind a bit
I would agree with you on this if it was summer and a rainy day lol .usually just go out and play Elmer fudd
Ain’t no private cove gonna stop the motion of the ocean 
Good luck with that shanty !!

Thanks man! Yeah after 40 yrs of soft water fishing, and being a boat mechanic, I took up ice fishing a couple years ago. We have a summer water access cottage on a great Bass lake, but also take advantage of winter as much as possible around our home in the Kawartha’s. Its truly a blessing to live here, hundreds of lakes within 30 miles.
