i don't think dew worms would be of much use on simcoe for perch, you'll be getting more sinks then jumbos and lots of herring, I've tried it before, i just keep them in a big bucket with soil and put some newspaper on bottom, they've been alive since october.

if you guys dont mind i would like to come as well as the gf as always...i'll have to see if work permits.. but if i can get it off i'll be there for sure. we have our own rods and tackle but no auger this will be our first time ice fishing

[Swing4Steel]

Im sure there will be a few augers out there

[Christopher K]

[Shawarma]

Will most of the people going be using huts?

[RUSTY420]

I only use a hut if it's nasty cold out. Or its to windy to light up lol.

[Diana Danger]

Ok, I am so excited for this!!!  After going out for my first tim yesterday i realize that i need to pick up a new reel or two.  The spin combos are really annoying, spinning constantly and sometimes getting tangled. 

 

Cant get new rods though, I have a whole collection of pinkies now....they were worth the price even without a reel...LOL

[Diana Danger]

This is my collection minus one that I picked up yesterday morning.

I get claustrophobic when using huts. hence i only go on a bright sunny day w/ minimal winds...and enjoy the view while fishing.

its not the small space that gets me, its the idiots that zip across at 100mph on snowmobiles and in cars and trucks

I went out yesterday too for the first time and it was awesome!

 

I bought a cheapie rod and reel setup for $22 from bass pro. I'm going to make a couple of extra ones using some old rod tips and see how that goes lol. Got the dowel and drill all ready. 

 

 

I don't have a hut - so i'll be one of the ones outside!

[Nick Mckenzie]

There is the convenience store at line two in Oro. I know I got some works there last winter in feb. worth a look

[Basschaser]

Never tried ice fishing but I am game. Picked up a 36" medium rod from Bass Pro which I plan to use with a light pflueger arbor reel.
Looking forward to finally meeting some of you.
