Awesome story Lew, thanks for sharing that. There's hope for mankind yet with people like that in the world.

Seems worldwide, depths seem to be in fathoms on all the charts.

Can't speak for those HT ones but my Icers needed to have the straps extended when I went to a heavier boot. Were fine with my hiking style boots and the -40 rubber ones but when I went to a -100 they didn't fit. Had the misses sew on an extension for the velcro and all is good. Not sure it you would need to do that with the new ones or not.

I'm thinking that I saved a nice pile of cash by not buying them. Not to say that I won't down the road but when something is working, way change it.

A great way to spend the day Lew but I think it's time to start targeting the muskies again. Those silver things have kept me away from all of my usually haunts this summer, might be time to sell the bass gear. I'm sure they would dare Phil, it's just getting that much colder out now. Flurries for cottage country this weekend, as per the radio this morning.

X 2 on the icers. I have what is most likely their original model and still using them for about well over 12 years now, could be 15+ years. I know 12 as I've been divorced for that long and they were a gift from the ex. Personally I wouldn't use anything else. I've had a couple of the pull on ones and the just kept coming off. The Velcro straps work really well and easy to take on and off. You can get them at Lee Valley Tools. Icers HT Enterprises has something very similar at Canadian Tire. Super Stud Sandals Edit - Not familiar with the ones in the picture Lew.

It is that time of year Mike. I guessing his colours of choice are Dr. Death Pink and Blueberry Muffin. Gotta look good for those walleye.

Same here Lew. I've got a buddy that has caught 6 or 7 of them from different lakes that I fish as well but haven't had the pleasure of seeing one up close. Nice fish Stoty, love the markings on them.

Awesome shots Dan! Still lots of green in my neck of the woods but am amazing how much things changed over the weekend.

Good fishing Luke! The original pic you posted looks better imo. HDR (High Dynamic Range) HDR

That's great Joe when you have a gang like that over for dinner and BBQing. It was certainly all around you from what we could tell out on the lake. Any leftovers???

It was a troll south with a dog leg to the west, and a 180 to the east, and back north. Caught fish going in all directions. Just say when Frank and we'll set it up. Did you get rained on Joe? Knowing your cooking I should have crashed the party. Thanks for the replies everyone.

Surf and turf! Very nice day for you and your bud. Thanks for the report.

Good fishing Emil!

Incredible shots Mike!! Thanks for the report!

Nice to see you have the conservation of the lake in mind and the future of the fishery by releasing those "dinks" Incredible report and pics!! That thumb may heal over the winter. Thanks for posting!

Great report Lew! Nice to have traveled the distance, boated a few fish and meet a few folks from the board, good stuff!!

Fantastic Dave!! Congrats on the win!

Good luck Jacques! Hopefully it's a good season for you.

The day started off at the break of dawn in hopes of getting a fish or two. Never having fished Lake O this late in the year I had no idea what to expect other then lots of laughs with a couple of good buds. We were on the water with the lines down to watch a beautiful sunrise. We started in tight and marked some scattered bait and a couple of fish but no takers. We trolled our way out to some deeper water and every time I was thinking of pulling the lines to head deeper we'd start marking a few fish, but still no takers. Finally at 10am the fish alarm must have went off and woke them up. First fish was a small rainbow but at least we were not skunked. Shortly after that another fish on and Rubin is up. Great fight and an amazing jump about 15' behind the boat, cleared at least 3ft of water but shortly afterwards the hook popped out and Rubin had set his trend for the day. (losing fish that is) Tom was up next with another small bow boated followed by a nice one for me of about 8 pounds. Rubin is back up and loses another, followed by Tom with another nice catch. For some reason we never took any pics of those fish. Feeling bad for Rubin we decided to just let him take the next fish, which of course he lost. We trolled for a while and a rod fires, wasn't going to allow Rubin to lose it, so I grabbed it and brought this beauty to the boat. After the picture was taken another rod goes off and Tom brings in this nice one. After the picture is taken a 3 rod goes off and Rubin is up.....and yes....he lost another fish. While I set up the 3 rods back up, all Tom and I can do is laugh at Rubin's fish catching abilities or lack of. After getting all set up again another rod goes and the fish is off before you could blink an eye, must of thought Rubin was up and didn't want to waste any time getting off. It certainly was a beauty day on the water, barely a breeze and what rain we saw was all on shore while we stayed dry on the lake Set up looks pretty good to me as the old kicker keeps pushing us along. We trolled for quite some time, working the area but could not seem to get another bite once the clouds moved in. Changed baits, depths, speed, to no avail. Tom and I were quite happy with the results of our day but mister sourpuss Rubin was well....not so much pleased with his efforts after losing 5 fish. We decide it was time to call it a day and I start to pull the lines in. Rubin can't wait it seems to get off the water and wants to helping with reeling in the lines. I tell him to leave the rods alone and drive the boat, Joe knows how well he can do that. I grab the last rod and hold onto it saying "I want to feel the hit!" and about 2 seconds later BAM! FISH ON!! Hit like a freight train and peeling out line. Rubin thinks I'm kidding him at first but is willing to take the rod as I reluctantly pass the rod over to him knowing full well he would somehow find a way to lose it. After a a great battle, Rubin redeems himself with this beauty and I'm going to say our only coho of the day.(Did I pass Joey? ) A fantastic end to a great day on the water. It's been a fantastic time on Lake O this year! Learned lots and had a terrific time with some great people over the summer. Thanks Rubin and Tom for the laughs and a great time on the water. Now I wonder if I can pull myself away from Lady O to zing the bling I bought from Handlebarz this week anytime soon.....beauty baits Mike!!

Maybe one of these instead at $108, 000 http://toronto.ctvne...&binId=1.813087

The way my day (and yesterday) have been going, this report is just what I needed. Thanks Simon! Great pics and videos as per usual. Being a non hunter and having no idea how to clean a bird, it was cool to see the cleaning up of that one.

What's that brown square thing doing in the middle of all the greenery?? Should be quite comfortable Jacques.

Nice report and fish Mike, love the look of that water you are fishing! SWEET!

Congrats on the PB!! Beauty fish!!
