I'll tell you what you need, you need a guy with a tent and a heater and then it will be way warmer for you and the fish. Then you need a guy with a snowmobile to haul everything in there with. Did I mention I have all those things?

ianwuzhere · « **Reply #3 on:** Jan 16, 2012, 12:42 AM »

hehe, oh yes the luxury items. So i better delete my wanted add online for the dog/reindeer from the grinch that could just pull me and all my gear into remote lakes

He isnt gonna budge Bill, dont even try, he's locked up tighter than............ Ummm I wont say it, a secret is a secret, I guess we all have them, like a few of my Brookie lakes whick I wont reveal either. I just dont know wether I should break Dukes heart and bump his brookie, now? or wait a few weeks. I have a few Posts sitting on the back burner for events like this.

We were out yesterday and the times I went outside the tent to answer the call of nature I just about froze up

I think it all depends on the wind. I fished Pete's with no tent last year in -31, but it was dead calm and sunny. That didn't seem so bad. If the wind is blowing, I would say -20 is where I draw the line.

Drifter_016 · « **Reply #7 on:** Jan 16, 2012, 10:09 AM »

Saturday was -20C with a 40kmh wind here. No problem

Yesterday was -30C with a 25kmh wind. I stayed home.

I don't go out when it's like that. Windchill was -45 in the AM.

Too hard trying to keep things warm and too hard on the fish.

hillclimber · « **Reply #8 on:** Jan 16, 2012, 06:28 PM »

after 2-3 hours at at -15c with just a jacket and sweat pants i start to feel it. usually i drag a barrell out on the lake then the temp dont' matter

I knew you would be sand bagging, I just wanted to get in on the trophy draws whenever that may be. maybe I'll make a trip to the lakes where everyone catches these 20-21 inchers then we'll see whats up

Dukes---- lets go, we should go to some of those lakes, you can drive, that way I can save some money, all this driving is killing my wallet $:-\$ Dont worry, I'll thank you in my acceptance speech, at the closing ceremony

Bill--- I've learned from TGF that poker players hold their cards til the end of the game

Ian-- you think I'm bluffin? we've talked in PM's before and when have I steered you wrong in the past?

ianwuzhere · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 16, 2012, 10:30 PM »

hehe, well youve havent steered me in a wrong direction yet..
just think tho, you wont be able to get in on any of the trophy draws?

I think you guys need to read how the contest works, there is no weekly "trophy draws", at the end of the derby all fish that meet the "trophy" benchmark then get thrown into a hat and lonewolf draws 1 trophy prize from that category, if I post a trophy sized fish during the last week of the derby, how am I missing the trophy draw?

ianwuzhere · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 16, 2012, 10:37 PM »

oh, ok- was wondering how that worked.. they should implement something along the line to prevent sandbaggerz

Ise De By · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 16, 2012, 10:51 PM »

Sandbagging is just 1 way to "play the game", its strategy

IceDrillerFishKiller · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 10:14 AM »

Today is a good example!

ianwuzhere · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 10:07 PM »

ya no doubt- way too cold today- hands freeze as soon as remove from gloves.. fish be frozen like fish sticks before you even remove the hook

foxracing83 · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 07:53 PM »

too cold for me to work today and tomorrow so ill take what i can get. heading out at 7pm with two heaters a lantern a tent and 4 sets of warmers. i guess ill find out what its like to fish at -38. other than tonight i went out at - 35 2 times last year wasnt bad at all in the tent,
it was the walk out to the car that got to me

ianwuzhere · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 08:41 PM »

ha, your hardcore.. catch n release is very hard as well as picture taking when shes this cold out..
catch a lunker!

Aerator · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 08:46 PM »

20/20 is where I draw the line in the snow and stay home. -20C with a 20 Km wind.
I rarely keep any fish. its not good to take any fish out of the hole and expose them to flash-freezing temps unless you plan on keeping 'em.

foxracing83 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 19, 2012, 01:01 AM »

only lasted 3 hours!! brrrrrrrrrrrr propane froze cam froze and no burbot to show for it. wasnt planning on letting anything go as the only thing that i was going to catch was burbs or pike minow. oh well kept me busy anyhow!

blue igloo · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 19, 2012, 12:33 PM »

Minus 35 windchill is where I draw the line. Today it was minus 46........so I stayed home.........so much for my week of icefishin holidays

Got sandbagged a few years ago on my walleye entry.......thought I had second place all wrapped up....fished for another species for fun and whammo.......on te second last day......got bumped to 4th..........might as well been last

laclabiche walleye hunter · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 21, 2012, 11:53 AM »

I go out no matter what the temp is. But only in my hardside and with the wood stove cranked right up lol. I will fish outside to -35 if there is no wind.

Kozfish · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 21, 2012, 10:55 PM »

Have pictures of my 7 year old son doing snow angels at Tcheeda below -40. Granted the truck was running within 500m because we were concerned about it not starting again. Was 30 below at turn-off and just kept getting colder. All depends on the cloths you wear.
