It's about time they changed the rules in Nova Scotia for ice fishing! Welcome to the Ice Shanty board.
I'm from Nova Scotia and lived there for about 26 years and there wasn't any ice fishing there then. :'(
So I had to pack up and go to British Columbia where the fish are huge and plentiful. I'll be coming back again to see how your guy's season is coming along. Welcome again!  :clap: :clap: :clap: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hey Bill how big an auger did you have to use to get the monster in your avatar through the ice.  Looks like it would be a tight fit through a 10" hole.

Believe it or not a 8" auger. The fish touched it's back and belly coming out. It's my biggest fish through a hole. What a fight on 10 lb test!

Nice one! Any signs of ice for you guys? Talked to my father, he was up to the camp (eastern shore)to get the docks out and said water level is really high. That was last week and he said no sign of ice, how's the lakes that you guys fish?

couple of the smaller lakes in around the halifax area have been skimmed over
the last  2 days but the rain and warm temps that showed up today
have taken care of that
hopefully temps will get back down soon
i got my fingers crossed for jan1

I moved here from Sask.. not use to only being allowed to fish on certain lakes.. in Sask. ever lake is open to fishing.. and every lake has pubic access..
there should be no stocking of fish in lakes that dont have public access..

I threw away my 11" filleting knife and now use a 4" pearing knife to clean my big fish...lol..

Hi all just signed up after being told of the site a couple of years ago.
You were right Shienar there is loads of info just cannot wait for the ice.
There was a little skim of the stuff in a ditch this morning when I took the dog for a walk, still a long time to wait though.

Hey everyone, just found the site today. I've been an avid fisherman for many years (fresh and tidal waters) but have NEVER fished through the ice! Recently after getting seriously depressed about not being able to wet a line and having a very successful 2011 fishing season, I began thinking about ice fishing. Got on Google found a couple of very interesting and informative sites so here I am. I'll probably be askin' a few questions of the veteran hard water guys, so please bear with me until I get my feet wet (or should I say frozen,haha!) Im mostly a catch and release guy and love pickerel fishin'! (mainly 'cause they're 10 minutes away) Looking forward to sharing stories and possibly meeting a few fellow fishermen! All the best in 2012!

Oh! And I see I have absolutely NO hard water fishing gear... :( Time to start spendin'...
