Ice Fishing Lake Manitoba

[@TheWildYam]

Lots of fun Norm! No ice here yet although folks are chomping on the bit to get out. See you in the next one!

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

Just a bit of fun. I hope your ice fishing soon

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Looks like you had the cold but not the early snow like us this year. All the best bud and merry christmas

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

Chilly a few nights but no snow. I only needed my fish for bait, might get in mid October next year and let it spoil a bit.

[@alanbierhoff6831]

That Wolverine fur looks fantastic! I hope it’s nice and warm too. I don’t know who’s looking forward to the trap line more, you or your subscribers lol

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

I see that lol. Wolverine is such a nice fur for a jacket, it does not frost up.

[@timminstraprs2169]

Always a pleasure seeing what you are up to Norm. 👍✌️

[@OutdoorsygalO]

Good for you! Nice pickerel! 😃🎣🐟 Still waiting for Lake Simcoe to freeze. We really don’t want to get the boat out, lol. I got a new Otter fish hut for Christmas! Santa was so kind. 🎅🏻❤ So pumped to try it out! Looking forward to seeing you out again ice fishing!

[@nicholascurto2093]

Norm great to see you out and about. Very little ice here yet but building, so season has not started for us yet. Best of luck enroute and during trapping season. Thanks for taking me along for the ride. Look forward to each and every new video and your great camera work Adirondack Nick

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

Just a few quick trips on the ice. Getting use to my lake out front now. Can’t wait to leave on Wednesday.

[@brianmelton5723]

Thanks for the video. Dave must be done with KZbin. I subscribe to 20 channels. The best of the best and you and Dave was always at the top. I miss his videos. Hope he’s well. Good fishing. Cabin videos will be great as always

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

I’m thinking he is done. Says he might pop one on but I’m thinking no. He’s doing fine. Works a lot now.

[@OVtimmy]

Yahoo, the time has finally come. Loved the ice fishing. Some good eating. Thanks for taking us out on the lake. Hope the bears have left the camp alone this year. I can't wait for the trap line to begin!!!🙂👍👍👍🦊🐺🫎🦡☕️⌛️ Don't forget water scoop

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

I bought two new water jugs.

[@kevinvroman2012]

Thanks for taking us along!

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

You bet

[@pauljackson8282]

Great stuff!! I can't wait till you get up north. One thing very noticable to me in your videos is how flat the land is there. I'm a BC guy and am used to the mountains, valleys, and the ocean!

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

So flat you can watch your dog run away for three days 😂

[@dougsmith548]

Good day sir. I’m glad you’re back on the air. I’ve been waiting for you all year. It seems like. I have no questions for this video. Just the one maybe I do have a question HAHA. What do you do with the dog when you go trapping for the winter. what’s this mean. Have a good day. God bless you. Have a great traffic season. I’ll talk to you another time. God… Love and bless you.🇨🇦✌️

Nice fish Norm. Still waiting for lakes to freeze here in northern Ontario. Raining today. Anxious to see you back up in the trapping camp. Stay safe.

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

Very soon Robert. It’s been warm everywhere.

[@maplehick364]

Great video norm! Love the ice fishing. Cut a disk one inch biger than your auger with a hole in the center to slid over your ager shaft below your wing nut thst will save you from having to fish for your auger .

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

Great idea. Never even crossed my mind but then I never gave it much thought 😂. See you soon maple

[@chrisnorlock9648]

This idea is best. Use a 5 gallon bucket lid. Cheap

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

@@chrisnorlock9648 very good idea

Its go time Brother! Be safe in your travel going north and try not to spill the gas lol. Wishing you the best season ever and appreciate you carrying us along. Your videos are great and it gives me the opportunity to see something that I would never be able to see otherwise. Thanks Norm.

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

Hahaha…, gas can spill but not on my food or bait. What a silly thing to do last season. Oh well. Take care and thanks JD

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

I like the way you think

[@derekwpennington1796]

@@truenorthlivingmanitoba be safe,warm and cant wait for your videos. After losing my leg christmas of 2021 i only get to enjoy the things i loved thru you and other content creators. Someday ill be able to afford to go trap my own mink ,martin, or lynx and get it tanned to put on the wall. Been my life long wish to have a tanned lynx. Not sure if legal to buy them and have shipped to maine from canada so guess ill have to get my own lol. But watching your videos brings this 52 yr old man more joy than youll ever realize. You do alot more than just give someone 30 minutes of entertainment. You let me feel like im useful and alive and part of it so thsnk you from bottom of my heart. But be safe. You hurt means i get no videos lol

Your not the only who can't wait until you get to the trapline. Are you still going to build the log camp, I'm sure I'm not the only one waiting for that. Love your videos

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

Oh yes on the log cabin. Take a few seasons but we will get it done.

[@milesboone5105]

good luck this year looking forward to watching . trapping here in New Brunswick is not the same as what you do for me

[@laurienortherngirl7452]

Nice fish! We don’t ice fish much either, Arizona instead. 😂 Doesn’t that broken up frozen ice creep you out?

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

Arizona …. Nice! No it doesn’t creep me out. lol

[@davidingram353]

I was wondering if you had been working on the Polaris, It sounds great. I always used hot plugs in cold weather and cold plugs when it got warmer in my Polaris long track. Thanks for another adventure Norm, can't wait till we see you back at the cabin and on the trapline. Knee surgery has slowed me up again this winter and seeing you out there is motivating me to get up and get going. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

I didn’t work on the Polaris yet. It will get its tune up this summer. Just a bit of tweaking it needs. See you soon and rest that knee.

We had six inches Friday before Xmas. Then rain over Xmas. Went back out on Tuesday and only 3 left. Cold snap now . Should have at least a foot now.

[@goodncold]

If you throw your electric drill into reverse you can force all the slush back down the hole for when you forget a scooper and shovel.

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

I’m scared the drill will open up and I will lose the auger.

[@thebackwardstrapper]

You could fish for 3 days and never get 3 bites like that were i live. Our fishing has been so bad. Between GFP screwing up the laws and the stocking of fish and the drought we have been in for the last 5 years. Sucks but nothing ya can do about it but pray for flooding . Good to see ya got out and caught some fish!

[@truenorthlivingmanitoba]

Agreed 👍👍
