I'll even go as further and say; should you seek sponsors I'd be more than glad to help you find them. Wouldn't it be nice to see just an Alberta show with all fishing on ice or from shore, no boats, an everyman show.

Just got back from spray, thanks for all the tips and help! Everyone that came had a great time. Ended up bringing in a 20-21" laker, without a rod just on a spool of line.. one of the greatest ice fishing fights of my life! 10 min later it was in the tent, Ill put a couple pics up right away here. And thanks to Fishbrain for helping me find the great spot.

Just got back from the CT in the NE (near Deerfoot Mall) - they've got more than 10 glow-in-the-dark buzzbombs, in a variety of sizes.
Just a headsup in case you want some more!

managed to land 3 in total, a few nice hits as well. Probably woulda got more but had to try and help the others get into fish, rebating hooks etc... Snow was maybe a foot, there is water under it but i never managed to step through the crust into it.

I was out until about 1:30...it was horrible early in the morning (7-10) -- slow action (just a couple of fish); smelts were frozen solid within half an hour, hands were starting to hurt from cold...but then the sun came over the hills, and it got warm fast. Not to mention, the fish started hitting pretty well. Nothing over about 17-18", but caught quite a few. Hated to have to leave, but I had to get back to town...and I ran out of bait. Late bite, today, for Spray (most of my hits were between 11:30 and 1:30).

bubbles -- it must have been you guys that I pulled in behind, just as we were both arriving, at 7:00ish. I was out on the lake ahead of you, and you set up to the North of where I was.
