Looks like a great trip to me. How much for the ice bungalows per person and how big did the ling get ??

Ha, Shank sitting there fishing with his slippers on.

hmmm. I wouldn't put 2 in that bed, unless you and the little lady want to get intimate.. LOL..

If you check the pic - "our accommodations" - you will see the sleeping quarters.. That is a 4 man ice bungalow - as they call it - two bottom beds and two top beds.. But it's already a bit claustrophobic with just 2 guys - can't image 4!!

We paid $80/night/person
Ling were all small, 0.5-1 lb.. I kept one of the larger ones for a taste test..

That was a fun trip and a learning curve once again for ice fishing. New spot and very finicky fish, most likely due to the wild weather we had......as admin mentioned we had it all, from snow to sun to rain to winds.

When we first got there 2 pm Tuesday, we sort of unpacked and set some lines down. took all of 5 seconds to bang first laker.which was a small guy..on the tip-up on spreader, then the UL rod grabbed 3 more that afternoon and missed constant hits on tip-up.

Day 2..began figuring out what the constant hits were as I finally caught the smallest WF of my life......all of 10 inches ....reset program and began getting better ones, but loss ratio was at least 50%

Got sunny for most of day and 2 feet of snow reduced by 50%, then at night pouring rain to wake up to very wet/slippery conditions on Thursday morning. day 3, we fished for maybe an hour and packed up to head home as we figured we neeeded 1 day off before the M&G.

Fish hit well in that first hour also.

so in actuality we fished somewhat less than 2 full days.

The tip-up had 90% of the bites except for lakers.

Jerry has a new handle now."ling king" as he must of popped 30 of those little buggers.

All in all a fun and enjoyable trip with a great guy....and would do it again.

As for the on ice bungalows, they are a tad on the smaller side.10x16 and by the time you get your gear in and we do not have any photos of the kitchen section, it is cosy Units were well stocked with all you need though and clean. It was too tough to fish outside with that wind.

So by definition, a 4 man is for 2 people max. a 6 man is for 3 people max. and so on.

Definately going back next year......

BTW..those photos make me look older and uglier than reality
Unfair to tke shots when a guy just woke up and is trying to enjoy a coffee ....

i thought molsons were going to sponsor you guys .when we go we take a great amount of their products. nice fishing guys

I was taught it's rude to go into someones house with boots on

Great post guys! Looks like it was a blast.

Which ice hut operator did you use if you don't mind me asking?

I have to agree about the mix bag of weather the conditions were terrible, as well with most fish being caught of bottom with minnows. Those are some nice pics, sounds like you guys did pretty well for a couple days.

That trip was with Blue Haven, formerly Beccas.

Location on ice is a little too close to main ice road and access road/point, but there are fish there.

Looks like you guys did better than me and my two boys nice report.
