Started out March 15th Last day for Trout / Whitefish ! ! Jumped in the Wilcraft and Headed out ! Fished 71 ft of water till around 11:30 am then we headed for shore to gather the BBQ essentials .. Loaded everything into the Wilcraft , including a fullsized propane BBQ... Drove right thur town then out on the lake to THE Spot .
Love that Wilcraft .. No plates .. it's a lawntractor type machine / Small watercraft . Love it ... Outside the rules ...
The Mini M&G went over very well But I still NEVER caught a fish in the Wilcraft ... Outside YES but NOT in her .... Jeez They Look like productive holes!
Tried again Mar 16th Still can't catch a fish LMAO Went home had Venison instead ! !
Well Enough of Lake Simcoe ... Buddies came over ..next thing I know the Wilcraft is loaded on a Trailer AND I'm on a two day trip to Colpoys Bay for Salmon... Now that's a Trip ..Left Sunday Night .. YA ..... SALMON thru the floor ... OK Ok After a LONG drive to Wiarton thru Walkerton and two other small towns to "ROUND UP " some fishermen . Won't be able to sleep I'm Sure..
Finally We get to Shore ,Monday Morning !Looks Rough !
that's a good test ..
Had no problems out there... Never even needed to use 'posi-lok'... Ok So where's the fish?
Damn Electronics , Glad to see we had a warm place to figure that out ! !
ok Fish Finder says There's fish down there.......
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA .... This is the way we wash our lures ..... LA LA LA LA LA
Threw everything at them ... I guy caught four ... I didn't have "that lure" &^%$*!#! ! Wash a few more lures and ......
Walk around Talk to a few guys .... Yes As I see there are some fish under that ice ! ! No for ME But ... Tomorrow is another day ...
Wake up to Dead Batteries in the camera .. Left it on ... STUPID STUPID STUPID ! ! We go outside and IT'S RAINING ! ! ! Nice day ya picked to fish ... Let's go .. As I say no pics guys sorry bout that but as you can imagine ... Everyone standing outside in the Rain and wind while Myself and a buddy fish inside... I also brought up the ice cube as more equiptment is no problem in the WILCRAFT .. So I was out in the Comfort of Casa D' Wilcraft, dry feet ,dry head ..,Dry hands .. heater had to be turned off Jeez
Picture That with a steady rain coming down ! ! Poor Buggers out there.. Still never caught a fish ... But I was Dry ! !
Came home to Three Hours of Cleaning my baby up Fishermen can be messy . The Wilcraft did bring fishh ashore ...just not mine LOL...
Pretty cool to Selflevel or angle the machine to wash and clean
There's a drain in the Back ...(it's a boat) so washing it is easy ..
Went out on Simcoe and finally caught a Perch .... A PERCH ! Thru the floor ...
Went home and had a beer in celebration ! ! Ok No A PIKE MISSION IS IN ORDER ! ! Who's coming Last edited on Thu Mar 20th, 2008 03:18 pm by Slyatv

Lookin good Sly. Get them miles on that machine before they change the rules. I'm sure you'llbe hooking into a pike where you'll have to drop the tarp to stand up to bring it in. Great looing maching.

Good show Sly and it looks like safety was what you used to sell it to yourself right. Nothing safer than a boat on thin ice.

They already changed the rules on the Argos. Never used to have to insure them until they decided there were enough to put legislation on them. Hey remember snowmobiles? no license plate/registration. Then only one life time plate. Now every year. They already changed legislation to fit Atvs Off road Vehicle Act ammended. Yours is the first. Give it time.

The entire versitility of the machine & SAFETY ..
No more towing .. Everything will load inside.600 lb payload
Always have the Hut and the gear On board .....never have to unload it !
AND yer right ..nothing safer than a boat . It does travel at a breakneck speed of around 20 mph .. on a smooth surface . and around 10 mph in LOW gear . I love the machine Myself.. Had it swimming already ...TOO COOL !! ! ! ya ALL gotta get one ...

Hi Sly
Great new toy!
I can see that going over the cracks with no trouble (planks if needed) great fishing machine. I will have to wait till the price comes down on a used one!

| I want to hook a salmon through the ice. Awesome machine. I've fished in it for some perch yesterday. It's so great to travel on the ice with the cover. No more wind burn. IF your serious about running and gunning type of fishing and being comfortable at the same time I would look into getting one of these machines.
