There was a slight freezing rain this afternoon, Little bit of water on top of the ice, below zero for the night.


  3 guys out fishing today, one with a few dozen jumbo perch, and the other group, pulled in a pike and some perch while i was out there marking the area, with marking paint.


  I will be on the bay at 7:30 in the morning setting up.

Todays event went well,

A few less participants than originally thought, And a few participants forgot to read the rules thoroughly and came out At the end of the event.

We were able to raise a little bit of coin for the ringwood hatchery facility.

We were also able to gather ice anglers from across southern ontario, our furthest traveler today came from London ontario.

The fishing was not easy today, A person really had to work for their fish as one NON participant showed everyone on the ice.
But I made a new friend with him, and he is more than interested in our next event....

First place winner:
for 110 dollars, a charter on lake ontario, a Rocket prize pack, and a gift certificate to SAIL.

Second place winner:
For 80 dollars, a Rocket prize pack and a gift certificate to SAIL.

Third Place winner:

Read this thread twice - Congartulations to everyone that participated to date.
 
Jeremy - great job in tough conditions. With 2 tournaments to work out logistics and ice conditions it makes it difficult for me to attend. Trust me I wish I were there .
 
Beavis (Dan) your a trooper for making the drive!!
 
Thanks to all for supporting such a worthy cause,
