33canuck

Thanks Tom for the recon!

Hmm, you sure? I swear my folks get dinged every year camping onteh Larry when it bounces to canada

Our group will be hitting the road 6:30-7 as well to get up there and get the midday bite! Can't wait, although I blew out my knee yesterday which sucks but uncle jack should help me fight through the pain If not I will be hte guy on the bucket with 2 rods

, hey I watched a 10lb pike caught on 2lb test so it's all about how you fight the beast, and you know you are going to make at least one more trip to Gander, tackle is like crack to us knuckleheads.

I spooled my meduim to heavy rod combos with 10lb seaguar floro, I have used braided for lakers and it will tend to freeze up a bit morethan straight floro but you obviously getthe stretch. Since we shouldn't be fishing to deep I would think all floro should work.

I shot 3 yotes during archery with a 22 one got away in the corn the others went 40-50 yards and piles up, not the biggest caliber but well placed shot it def takes them out. The reason I used it was for the low impact, the 7mm-08 isn't as stealthy Most likely they will run a distance unless you head shoot them.

I think in general the temps stay colder during the day and alot colder at night so we should be good to go with the pattern we are on it would really suck arse if we didn't have safe ice at this point.

What happens in Quinte stays in Quinte, I hope anyway

I just booked a room in the crazy ice deprived NY wing Sounds like they still have some availible, I gotta brush up on my Canuck that was one painfull reservation booking

Sucks is not the word

Ready to wear out my jigging arm and have some good times got my license Friday 3 in our group! [ Post made via Android ]

Looks like there was yesterday and it is suppose to get and stay colder JAN 7TH "Joe and I were out on 5″ of hard black ice yesterday morning and had a decent morning with 9 walleye and a gigantic perch iced between the two of us. Unfortunately the warm temperatures of the day quickly softened the ice. We were off the ice mid day taking care of a few things [...]" JAN 10TH "With the drop of temperatures again on Saturday evening and Sunday we were able to make it out for a quick scouting trip on Sunday night. The ice was hard and clear again. Monday was mild, but we managed another quick trip out for the last hour before dark resulted with a good number of smaller class [...]" Reports forn Steves contact the WQuinte Ice team

Yo B, I presume you will be designated hole puncher up north in a few weeks eh?

It will be a long time if ever this season when the woodville area locks up

Now that would be a funny sight! I feel for you B I purchased a new Clam Kenai this year adn I cna't tell you how many times I have fished my basement floor but all I catch is rock bass Hopefully we will get some epic action on the Quinte!

We all wish, there won't be good ice anywhere for at least a couple weeks with the temps coming back up Wed.

I know we all have screws loose but you gotta have a few extras loose if you are dumb enough to venture out on 1-3" of ice that just got made during weather conditions like this for a stinking fishy. Not worth the risk gents, just not worth it, no matter how much you just spent on a brand new propane auger

Def give the Lowrance x67 a look you will really be impressed it not only gives realtime like you have on a baot but if you prefer you can turn it to the sonar which is jsut like a Vex, plus you have the bonus of hooking it up to a boat in the summer they run 220-300.

I agree Brian however there was a day when it was a reality, Elec's just make it that much better

There is no fishable ice on Honeoye yet I have daily updates from a buddy And the forcast really really sucks

Not sure Tom, they were grinding ducks down there the October opener maybe it has changed since then. Jimmy, Todd,and I hunted yesterday from around 1:30 till sunset and man what a epic day. We got on a big pond that usually is froze in the late season and the birds just kept coming in droves and worked the calls and dekes perfect we had the best day I ever had duck hunting. Limited out on ducks and pretty close to the same on geese we had to stop shooting we did so well. Days like that are never to be forgot thats for sure.

We hunted Conesus and it was pretty much the same story, saw some big flocks in the air but they were in the stratosphere, not that I want to admit this but we did dust a big group of coots that came into our spread not much shooting around the lake nad hardly any in the south end swamp. Hopefully some areas lock up and birds start to concentrate otherwise this season will suck like the rest of the seasons.

Doh! that looks lieka livewell full of tastyness! I recommend you go get some free ones in a local creek, I looked in a few creeks a couple weeks ago and had no problemo finding them in abundance. Steve we need to get out sometime seeing how we live around the corner form each other.

No doubt this will be a ton of fun lets just hope the water tightens up in time!

Sweet yote smack down bud!
