Always intrigued by reading your hunting stories and knowing it would another successful story to ready.
All the best and good luck to you Joe wish you hammer your target bear in no time!
Species that looks like a pretty solid crib dock, if you ever re-build your crib dock you can try putting a piece of threaded rod through each corner that should help prevent the timbers from coming apart or getting pulled out in the future.
Awesome set up and look forward to your bear adventures this spring!
Jealous. I will be waiting for the fall hunt this year but was up to the cottage south of Sudbury on the weekend and while the weather was beautiful I was shocked how many blackflies were out already
Then again I was shocked that I had a few baths in the lake so I guess they don’t have a calendar just temps to go by
Good luck with the hunt
The 2 cribs closest to shore are done that way. They were built by me 7 years ago and are still mint. The two in the front are older and were done by previous owner. They do not have extra rodding. To be fair though the front take more of an ice beating.Quote:

Hopefully after the re-build the next time work is required it will be one of my son's while I direct from a lounger with a cooler of beer.
Great setup as always �� love the pictures
Thanks!Quote:

With shoreline work done i will be starting to hunt the bait very soon.
The 2 new cribs and new decking on permanent structure and hoisting the ramp:
