The link below is on the Algonquin Park facebook page, and has me seriously rethinking my use of plastic baits. Worms are the only live bait allowed in provincial parks, and I may switch to them. I think it may be time for artificial baits that are biodegradable, perhaps a gelatin based material. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2222572231/permalink/10159697105577232/

These are the ones I have had for a couple years, but they do tend to fall off. And if you don't notice them go, they can be difficult to find again! TEN BUCKS is a heck of a deal on them! PS) I did not originally write "difficult" to find, but the auto-correct did not like my choice of words and substituted a stupid word ("jerk") for what I wrote. Don't we love technology...🙄

My wife, daughter and I all have the Canadian tire ones. Work fine for me and the price is right

Doug, I posted that and then remembered I know a gal that was in my high school homeroom in the '70's that lives in Rideau Ferry so I looked her up and gave her a ring and she says yes at the Yacht Club boat launch.....not sure when he's coming or if he really wants to drive on the lake to go fishing on the deeper side but guys are fishing right out in front of the yacht Club beach all the time. If they run into problems call us at.....we are at the end of that road inside the park. Give us a name just in case. She wants to know when you plan this and your name in case you call... I've sent you a PM with her phone # and you can give me your full name there so I can pass it on. Wayne

So I'm trying to spend a bit of time with this little lady. And I am not asking for your secret spots, just whether access is still permitted there. Thanks, folks. Doug

So cold that I went outside to take a leak and had to back away from the icicle. Heard that on the CBC about 50 years ago, I think they were interviewing an old logger. Almost crapped my self laughing.

EXCEPT!!! if i am there first

I saw a bunch of lawyers with their hands in their own pockets.

Lew is right I would be careful with a Tracker. Crestliner makes a nice boat.

So I was supposed to go ice fishing Thursday morning. Went outside, my steps and driveway were glare ice from freezing drizzle. But it looked like that was over, so off I went. About ten minutes away on the 401, and no the freezing drizzle had not stopped at all, I decided this was fairly retarded and turned around. BUT!!! I was counting on a feed of fresh perch for supper. I do have a couple bags of fillets in the freezer, but I freeze them in water, and no way they would be thawed by supper. So>>>>>>I picked out a small package, about a pound, of halibut from my BC trip. My favourite way to eat hali is to wrap chunks in bacon and cook it in the oven, but I thought I would try something different. So I sliced it into skinless trips, coated it with Fish Crisp, and pan-fried the strips. AWESOME. Very "meaty", two strips was enough for me for a meal. And yesterday for lunch they made a delicious sandwich, cold, with mayo and lettuce. My new go-go halibut recipe. And this time I did take pics! 😁
