I have seen similar threads on other state or province boards, but what are your goals for the 2008 season

1) 2 Day Walleye Trip in Haliburton (lake not know yet)
2) Try atleast 2 new lakes this year
3) Take my buddy who is afraid of ice on one trip
4) Load up on new gear

I will think of more

bucketmouth · « **Reply #1 on:** Nov 14, 2007, 06:26 PM »

1. Better my PB Walleye (so 10lb+ would do nicely)
2. Go for splake or whities as I've caught neither but they are within an easy drive for me.
3. Get out with Team Ontario guys I've never had a chance to meet on the ice.
4. Get runners installed on my 8x12 hardside before the snow flies.
5. Fix up my craptee Clam 2000 (less duct tape = less ghetto)
6. Get my wife out on the ice more.
7. Procure new flasher
8. Catch a fake cold and call in sick for a week or two at a time.
9. Better my PB Walleye
10. Better my PB Walleye

#1 - Beat you on the ice Don

JK...

Not in a million years...

bucketmouth · « **Reply #4 on:** Nov 16, 2007, 05:41 PM »

You likely will Andrew, I'm in the Dominican Republic the first week of December so if it falls during that time LOTS of folks will be beating me out, lol. First ice really sucked last year at the usual Ott Riv haunts anyway. And stayed sucky most of the season for some reason.

you guys in Ottawa get safe ice befor me, Im going to have to head up your way and gets some early ice

bucketmouth · « **Reply #6 on:** Nov 16, 2007, 07:37 PM »

Would love to have ya up Rob. Just gimme a heads up when you're on your way dood. If ya wait til later in the season, we can do a morning/aft panfish search with the portables and then late afternoon head'er to the hardside shack for some walleye action and cook up some fresh crappie... oh and can't forget the ling you'll most likely be scratching off your "most wanted" list...

The invite was there last year as well IceJunky

Some of the backbays here freeze up really quick givin the temps are right. Would love to have you join the group for some early ice pannies and pike.

icejunky · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 17, 2007, 07:04 AM »

yeah, I just never got the chance to head down that way, with my job I have weird hours and Im always on call, so allot of my planed trips get nixed at the last minute due emergency issues....Im hoping I can take you guys up on your offer this year

Bear you don't actually have to sign up for Team Ontario... that fact that you're posting here makes it so

If you're looking for the Team Ontario logo in your signature, right click mine and copy and paste the url into your signature box in your profile...

You can scratch number 1 off my list as I made it official today and book a weekend trip to Haliburton this Jan. I rented a cottage for the weekend and the owner throws in an extra night free, it even comes with a BBQ at the huts, should be a good time, really looking forward to it

Where did you book and what kind of cost if you don't mind my asking? I booked a cottage at Buttermilk Falls in Carnarvon last year, it was about $350.00 for 2 nights.

icejunky · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 24, 2007, 08:04 PM »

I booked at Kashaga lodge, we get a 2 room, 6 bed cottage for three nights, with heated huts for $425.00. They also have a lodge for $350 for 3 nights

Goals for 08
Wow were to start...
1st simply spending more time on the ice which will be much easier since I'm single now again

2nd upgrading the yukon to a new X2

3rd upgrading the fl8 to an fl20

4th brookie opener on one of my favorite remote lakes

5th simcoe whitefish & perch

6th installing sleeping quarters in the new fish trap

7th remembering goal #1 and not getting reamed out every time I go out fishing... priceless

Sike-1 · « **Reply #19 on:** Nov 26, 2007, 11:56 AM »

My First Post since joining yesterday.

Goals for 2008 season:

Finally get out on nipp, hopefully for some decent sized eyes and pike, but will be happy with whatever bites.

Lake bernard for lakers / whities, only a 15 min drive.

Big Doe lake for the MONSTER pike that reside there.

And finally, buy a Showdown VPG.

Nice, let me know how the bite is, the walleye fishing is supposed to be awesome!

icejunky · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 04, 2007, 06:35 PM »

I'll keep you posted, I was alittle worried as it is booked for Jan 12th, and last year I had to keep rebooking my simcoe trip due to no ice,,,should not be a problem this year

Seaweed · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 06, 2007, 08:29 AM »

Get back to Simcoe for an overnighter

Make it to Quinte for some good walleye action

Find a new spot near Ottawa to get away from Petrie during the hectic period of too many anglers and non-existant bite.

Work on becoming a better panfish through the ice guy... I could use some tutoring here so any volonteers?
