Super stuff Maureen. Glad you and Beans were our neighbours.. till the next event

Looks like our Cabin was the place to say, RICK 1st place, DougG TV.. Time to get a lotto ticket. Congrats Doug

Well, it all started after last years Lakair trip. I showed my brother some of the pictures of the area and he was so taken back with the area he worked on my Dad for almost 6 months to head up there for a fishing weekend. Finally at Christmas it was set that this year we would have a min Son's and Dad weekend. We had not gone out just the boys for a weekend for well over 20 years. Everyone arrived at my place at 9am Thursday for the trip up.. With all the stuff loaded we were off. The first thing my dad, figured out was my board name is LeXXington. Funny thing about the internet is you may know everyone by the board names and forget there real names. We were out each day at 6am only beating Lew to the dock once over the 3 days. Later I found out he was stopped on the way down there to chat What a weekend we must have caught well over 20 pike fishing almost 8 hours a day, eating and drinking like kings. Over the weekend we met so many super people even a few new ones that I have not met at other OFC events. I know we did not get too hang too often with the group at the fire pit, but just hanging with Dad and Bro playing darts and chatting made up for it. I could go on, but I see most people have posted lots and lots about how great a weekend it was, for me and my family it was one of those events that I will always remember and if possible and all willing it might become a tradition for as long as it lasts until my Son is old enough Thanks again all for a super weekend + Rick and DougG with putting up with us in the cabin Here are a few of my pics King of ALL SPORT FISH

Great too see you again Graham. next time hopefully we will get more time to head out fishing together LeXX

looking dark over young street ...

Fact: When asking others about how good the fishing was .... It was always much better last week

Cool, last year I only saw the one mounted on the Wall, this year, I plan to explore more

Hi All: yeap, I know its last minute, but does anyone have a depth chart of the West Arm of Lake Nipissing. Looking to do some preplanning for the trip. Thanks LeXX

WOW, love it. I think thats my retirement boat. Where do you mount the kicker?

WOW, Always great to hear from you SuperDad.. Looks like you hit the gold mine. What a sheepshead !!!!!! Almost as big as a Salmon.

What was the web sight again, I can't seem to see it at the top advertisement bar. Unfortuantly, I only measure to check for slot or size limit, use to be weight only. Guess that means I have not caught anything like MrEH, WOW nice fish BTW. Oh well,

Sorry to hear about this, your post was very touching with your passion for life, All our thoughts are with you.

I tried the Vanish as a main line was not impressed. I now use it as leader line and it works great. No need to toss it if your not happy.

Nice, LB's is really putting up the presure with BPS in town. Nice to have some competition left in the industry See you at Lake Air

Tin foil, DOLT> why did I not think of that.. stops thoese darn burning the butt flairups Looks good..

Board Name: LeXXington Real Name:Paul Number of people you are reporting for(...including you): 3 Accomodations (Camping or Cabin or off site): Cabin 5a Bringing boat? yes Renting Boat? no Using restaurant facilities? breakfast's and maybe's

LOL, I had fishing put into the marrige contract. I had been fishing since I was 5, my wife gets sea sick at red lobester so she hates it. Compromise one day family one day fishing After our first kid, I went every 2 weeks one day and have stuck roughly to that schedule roughly ever since. When our second was under negotiation I said, I still need to have my decompress time.. took a couple months of thinking but she agreed. So far so good,. now the next issue will be when all the kids come fishing with me that could be considered a family day

A licence for her is much cheaper I always go through this question each year, my wife tells me she wont be fishing etc, catching rays etc. not too waste my money.. I get her one anyway. With kids on board there is always the time you are busy and she is helping a kid fish. Yea I know but explaining that to the co is not worth the hassel

Mine may be a little too light but for walleye I use 14lb fluro leader on my braid line. works well for anything else 55lb fluro. Make your own, cheaper in the long run

We were only in the Ontario waters, no too far out of the main drag. Each day we just followed the pack of boats., 13' of water was the key in the heat. We just putted along with worms and bang, There were a couple times you could not cast without the perchie stripping you clean then it would suddenly stop as something bigger moved it thats one of the times I hooked into my pike. No muskie caught that I could see boy there were there if you want more specifics pm me can't give all the lurkers the goods

Well it was the annual Work Boys weekend trip for some great fishing and jokes... Every year we venture out on Lake St Clair for some fishing the main reason is when you get a fish you really never know what it is until it hits the surface. Talk about hot! And no it was not the fishing, We arrived the first day to "ZERO" wind and super heat. Not the best conditions but we managed a few perch, a walleye and a Sheepshead. From Friday to Sunday we would get on the water by 7am to a little breeze and good fishing. By 10am the wind died as did the fishing. We always stayed out for a couple of hours but the bites were far and few between. Then we jumped in the 80F water to cool off. Lots of perch, bass, pike and rock bass. At 5pm each day the wind kicked up as the storms blew around but never provided rain, Only got out one night for 2 hours before we got blown off the water One kicker of the trip is some "JERK"!!!!!! Backed into my trailer while we were fishing and smashed my rear light, hit it hard enough to bend the steel completely around we tried to bend it back by hand but looks like it needs heat and a sledge hammer. No note, no sorry! No message at the office check in. Ahhh next trip is LakeAir !!! So lots of time to fix it.

Wow, love the pics. Love the river pics, bet it was hard not too see about wetting a line ..

My deepest condolences Lew

Hey TbayBoy Great having you in my boat again, Glad you had a good time and we did not get skunked. Learning is all part of the game. besides that just means next time I don't have to hold your hand . Here is the pic of one of the fish So we ended up 1 pound shaker ummmm on the BBQ 10 pound 13 pound 8 pound and the biggeest of the year so far 17lb plus my 35lb that got away Not bad for the first time on lake 'O' thanks to all who gave me a little heads up at depth and colour... Gave us the opening we needed LEXX

Cool thanks, If all else fails a bad day on the water is better than working at home
