    This sounds like a dumb question. Does the ferry service run to Georgiana Island in the winter?

    Early ice it will and in the spring melt. There is a maintained ice road when it's safe. I'm sure it has 15-20" now. I'm on 14" in the middle of the big lake.

    Ya, I get that - it can be a challenging sport to stay active in.

    As for the Poo.....you brought that on your self......

    I probably got 60k miles on sleds in my young life. I'm a passionate guy and trive on adrenaline, I was losing the adrenaline always wanting to go fast and do the most miles. I'm sure I'll get back into it one day if my kid takes an interest.

    I looked at boats and prices and yeni told me, it is cheaper to go to seafood store to buy fish. That’s a hard no 😂

    Yeah you don't strike me as much of a fisherman, especially if your wife's making decisions for you.

    I have ran Simcoe a fair amount in the past being 5 minutes down the road from it (Soldiers Bay), used to be at least a weekly destination spot, and you are correct, pressure cracks are a big safety factor that change at the flip of a switch, thankfully they are typically consistently in the same location year after year.

    I have not ran Simcoe as often I used too and tend to stay in the Cooks bay area as I usually just take my kids out there now......and Simcoe has not been no where near as consistent as it used to be for freezing with our crappy winters, so now have some doubts about heading North of Cooks bay, so figured I would ask those that have ventured across it for some feedback.

     

    You'll be fine. Just don't stop in the slush on that big heavy 4s. The slush is only a few inches deep now its been draining pretty good.

    Anyone been across the lake from the south end of Simcoe along the west side to hop on B112B…any issues or concerns to make note of?

     

    Lots of slush all over the lake.

    Thanks.. I know I kinda went off topic with this.. I do love snowmobiling and everyone who is involved in bringing this great sport together but my true passion is chasing fish.

     

    Cant wait to hear the feedback on the new 900 T r’s that some of you are ordering.

    Mine too. Living pretty well on simcoe it's all I do if I'm not up north chasing walleye. 

     

    Beautiful boat.

    Best wishes to you guys:right_on:.. Here i had hopes of bringing you over to the Dark boosted power side of the sport,  like you had talked about...

    Even with the amount of fishing we plan on doing I'll eventually have a another sled and it will be a 4s, probably stay na thought. I was honestly getting board and was starting to lose that adrenaline I always had sledding. Sounds weird but being a fishing nut brings me that now.

    :cheers: - as long as the kid is happy, all that matters.

     

    We ordered a "low" windshield for my son's Indy Lite - he doesn't like the "grandpa" shield on it.

     

    He is more and more like me all the time - which is SCARY ! 

     

    Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, stay safe.

     

    Merry Christmas to you guys too. Hopefully they get some snow and cold soon up north. Waiting to head in behind Kearney fishing in the new year.

    Oh come on, he is coming back....just give it some time :)

    Cannot just turn the handle off that easy.....

    I haven't left totally Im just going to be poking around on a 570. Maybe I'll look to get back in when the kid is older but for know my money is wasted on boats and electronics. :cheers:

    Bet you might have made a few bucks on the kids sled :)

     

    Cheers man, all the best, come back though - I will be back full-time in 5 years once his hockey career is over lol

    Yeah little bit. :)

     

     

    Probably only put 2 tanks of has through it. Still have an et340 at my dads if he decides to take an interest in a few years. He wants an atv so that'll come next spring or summer. 

  10. Yep sold my sled and the kids sled. Kept the 570 fanner for ice fishing. Sold the cabin too. Bought a 28ft bunkhouse to have near water this coming camping season and bought a new fish trap and the a new fishing graph. Got tired of spending a fortune to chase snow and got addicted to fishing.

    I assume Muskoka cat guy meant "80's" trails rather than "88 trails" as the 88 itself uses Etwell Road to a large extent. The problem with going up D from 37 is the Yearley Road section going north from Aspdin. Might want to trailer to a quiet side road to unload.

     

    I packed down the top of the snowpack yesterday and alot of it was already.

    The road is very poor for the overheating kitty cat on a good snow covered day. Need one of those new fancy Polaris 2021 snowmobiles lol

    Thinking of unloading at Ultramar going up 50 to 88 cross Hwy 11 up 87 Lake Vernon then do the loop

    82/83/84

    No lol. 50 has lots of rds and 88 is worse. Unload at the tourist centre and go over to parry sound and back and down the D to aspdin and do the 84 loop.

    Has anybody rode Du Ya Wanna 88 trails 

    Thinking of going tomorrow

     

     

    I wouldn't be taking 88. 

     

    Do 37, D up to Seguin and over to 83 then down to 82 then do the 84 loop. That's a good afternoon ride for you old boy.

    Who ya calling old?

     

    I resemble that comment.

     

    Sorry I missed you, reevester. I was heading there,  until I got a close look at Lone Pine Drive.

    I went down 37 then went to take a peak at lone pine dr. Ugly for sure, turned around and back up a perfect 37 then into muskoka fries.

    Among other trails, I was on 55 and D103B this afternoon. Well groomed and smooth, but very soft. No throttle jockeys need apply. LOL

    I waited for you at Muskoka fries this morning. I asked the little sweetie if Blake was in yet? The chubby old guy she said? :lol:
