Not many days like this left this year so I decided to get the oldman out for a little troll. Timing the cisco spawn is real tough lol! Was out a few weeks ago and water was 50, today you can see it's 44 (a bit cooler out in the big water) No muskie today but the oldman got into a real nice gator. Fantastic few hours out on the water.

First and foremost please understand I'm not posting this for anyone to feel sorry for me, maybe I shouldn't be posting it at all but several of my friends here on the Fishing Forum became very fond of my boy and best friend on the planet, Trooper. I posted a couple pics of him when H H came up with the idea and a great one of sharing pics of our four legged buddy's. I liked each and every one of them. Sadly Trooper passed away Saturday morning. I know I'm not the only one to have gone through this, it's the hardest thing, I've been through it a few times and if anything it just gets harder. Man, life is sure empty without him. I seldom went any where without him, we loved each other to death. His biggest thing was meeting people, he liked every one. He was always so happy as all dogs should be. Thank you.

Hi all, Our bay finally iced over yesterday, it’s raining today but night temps by the end of the week will be -17C, fingers crossed we don’t get too much snow. Hoping to be on the ice 1st week of December.

Just went through this in the spring. It's the worst . Get another one soon it will help.

I lost a companion lately as well. Always a tough go.

My wife has been away for a bit, and I was at deer camp for a week, so I have been enjoying LOTS of wild game. But I rarely take pictures of my meals, even when my wife isn't around. (If she is, she wonders what the heck I am doing taking pictures of the food...) One dish I dreamed up and would make again was ground venison, cooked with diced vidalia onions, with green peppercorn sauce and acini de pepe pasta. First meal was all that mixed together. On the rebound, I took half of the leftovers, put it in a loaf pan, added a layer of shredded mozarella, a second layer of the meat and pasta mixture, topped it with a generous layer of mozarella, and into the oven at 325 for three quarters of an hour. Very toothsome. A hunting buddy shot a nice bull elk in BC this fall, and gave me some elk steak. I pan-fried it to just barely rare, then cooked a couple free range eggs in the pan juices. Those eggs had been collected less than a couple hours before they went into the pan. That one I did photograph. And for the record, I actually had a SALAD with it! Doug

Sorry for your loss, its so sad losing a best friend.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Sounds like he had a happy life and you were his best friend. It will be tough for awhile but you will have your memories to cherish forever.

Sorry to hear man!

I saw this the other day and remembered all the rocks at my local boat ramp
