I am trying to juggle around work/hockey games Sat. to see if I can go, If every thing works out I'll have my 3 boys with me (5, 8 and 12) But I won't know until the end of the day Friday.

I have an ice report from about 5 miles from hamilton rez. ITs 5.5 inches, top inch is white the rest is nice and black. That was about 20' from shore in 8' of water. Its a bit on the slippery side too. Added another crack to my ass on the second step.

Good my son is almost 6.

TDF what about you?

No Kids for me......I don't need to battle my daughter to get her out of bed at 4 AM....:af:

Well it starts at 7a now.

hour and a 1/2 ride for me....need to be on the road by 5........trust me, she is NOT a morning person.

besides they are also older and aren't in the "Hanging with Dad is the Best" mode anymore.....only one that greets me at the door when I come home now is the Cat :hihi:

She's 12 and he'll be 15 in 2 weeks....goes by fast....enjoy it while you can.

Just a reminder....don't forget to get your licenses....Just got mine online.....takes all of 2 minutes.

This is my little guy from last year, he's ready for anything from a hockey game to an attack from his older brothers and if a muskie jumps out of that hole he's prepared

That is a Great Pic....

Anybody have any input into kids entering th econtest? I never gave any thought into kids entry fee or kids prizes?

Raven: that's a riot... he'll get a kick out of that thanks

As far as kids entering, Rick I sent you a pm. But if it is within the rules I figured a plug from each kid as an entry fee, no special consideration / category / prize needed.

Kids are free.....

Sausage has been confirmed......my wife is picking it up today for us. :kewl:

I was thinking more in the lines of the JR. division. ITH's kids are gonna fish like the big kids, though.:btu:

Rules, rules, rules...maybe next year I should make it "Chinese Downhill" style, be a lot more fun.

Can't wait to see everybody, getting antsy!

Later,
Rick

me too.... :rolleyes:

I got the fever, and the only cure is more cowbell!!
I mean ice fishing.

Rick, is anyone going to have a grill there saturday? If not I can plan accordingly for grub

You can never have too much cowbell.

Brokeback Fishing Tournament; 1st Edition

Wait - a - minute, nobody told me this was one of those tournaments!!
Please tell me we won't be gathering around the Rainbow Flag
(not that there's anything wrong with that)....
:scream:

any word on the condition of the ice?

OOH, now there's a thought. Chris, you must definately be planning to attend now.:devil2:

Hemdukas, I hear there was 5.5 inches on Tuesday, guessing that with the next cold snap we should be around 7".

Anyone think it's worth throwing in the skates and sticks ?
