My first time out on erie for eyes ever. Had my dad ( bit of a meat hunter lol) and my brother with me . we got em patterned pretty quick, a few went back , most went in the cooler. Bigest of the day was 27.5 and 8 lb not bad for 4 hours in the afternoon on a bluebird day

Maybe it's time to stop playing C&R with this resource. Nature paying the price for the amusement of humans.

Got a late start yesterday and the bite lasted maybe an hour but the lady friend got herself into a big GBay laker Long weekend traffic out there was crazy. Also got stopped by a CO checking licenses, had a quick chat, talked some fishing and he was on his way. 34inches on the tape.

So I got out fishing with my lady and my boy on the weekend. We all got fish too! The MRS win's with a keeper walleye and the biggest at 23" that had to be let go. The one of my son sort of blurry was him on the hookset, lol

I haven't been to Barry's Bay in over 50 years but what I do remember is that every business seemed to be owned by some one with the name Yakabuski ?

Thanks. Always nice to see someone catching there. I am usually in the area, October Long Weekend - and don't have much success.

Love the DIY slot bump board. Nice pics.

Ohio was smart enough to realize the value of the sport fishery and banish the commercial industry. Guess where Ontario sends a majority of the commercial catch now!?.....yup, right across the border to our neighboring great lakes states. Stupid. Theres plenty of fish out there for everyone right now but if history holds true they'll continue to raise commercial quotas until its too late, the fishery will crash and we'll be waiting for a miracle spawn for the fishery to recover like it thankfully has the past couple seasons. The outlook right now is very, very promising but I have little faith in the management of the resource. Josh

Angler with sport license 6 walleye in your possession. Commercial fisher with nets full on a daily routine, until quota is met and that's only if they're not doctoring their books. Sorry man; but who's doing the damage to the fishery? Dan.

Nice stringer! Looks like a Nipissing photo from the 70s.

looks like an amazing trip you both will remember for ever.

Please don't start taking about religion ?

Admit it, if it wasn't for the money and bragging rights, I'm sure there wouldn't be as much interest. As much as fish in general may be on the low end of the proverbial totem pole, they are a food source for other species. I find it sad that man has to go around "just because" he can, wasting a resource. If they were required to keep what they catch with no culling and injuring fish, there's still 4,5 or 6 fish to tally up and enter. Then go eat them. Oh, for those who wonder, I'm not a P3TA freak, if I catch some, I eat them, unless they're out of the legal size.

Looks like paradise!

great pics, lovely scenery, great memories, thanks for the share !

I have never fished the moon river my whole life. Have always heard great report from those that fish it. Nice going It,s funny all the reports of high water every where, yet Simcoe is dropping every day. The tell tale rock at my launch shows a foot.

I hope you gave him double video game time to make up for this trip Good stuff Gino.

Now thats a trip to remember!

Yes and tell that to a mechanic buddy who had tried all kinds of pain pills for his arthritis but now does a bit of pot instead to get needed pain relief.

im glad your gone, you are misinformed well tell that to the people with epilepsy, who havent had a grand mal seizure in over 6 months , tell that to the people with parkinson's disease that can now feed themselves

I dont think you have a clue what you are talking about it has great medical uses, is not addictive (for some it can be habit forming) and most heavy users that i know quit hard drugs and or booze and settled with pot as a milder alternative to heavy drugs not the other way around

100% FACT! S.

I know people in thier 60's, 70's and 80's who have been smoking weed their whole lives. All good, hard-working, productive members of society. Its the most harmless drug there is. More beneficial than harmful. And no, I'm not a pot head, chronic stoner at all. I have tried it many times, and enjoyed it socially, but I am by no means a regular user. I have, however, seen it do many good things for other people,and support its use. S.

More hard drug addicts are a result of MD's scripts than any Marijuana use.

Stay away from PA bearings. Crap. Buy from a bearing store. Another is Canadian Bearing.

Who wants to keep and eat a wormy Smallmouth? I will eat smaller bass from Erie but not a 5 pound er here or from a small hot lake up north or a lake or river around here, especially during summer. Regs say if you kill a fish you can't waste it which means eat it to me.

Nice slot size walleyes!
