One of these more specifically works well as long as your transom is currntly rock solid. It will place extra stress on your transom.

Isn't that what live mouse traps are for? No different than a minnow trap...

This is the safest way....

20inches, if the transom has a dip like a U shape to it then just build it straight across. If not I can't see a super good way to rais it without having your motor end up in the lake without using a jack plate.

From the map on the MnR wesbite it shows north of algonquin park, not barrie....

Must have missed your post as I was looking through the thread. Gotta get my eye checked

Is it the eyes first to go or the hearing?

Well 3 nights with clear skies and the buildings didn't reflect. maybe it was a freak allignment.

I'm surprised no one has suggested this.

 

Bucket Mouse Trap

 

I did already..... They work great. Just get a bucket, pout a dowel through it with a water bottle on the dowel. and smear peanut butter all the way around in ring in the middle of the bottle. then put a 2x4 ramp up to the rim of the bucket. If you want them dead, put about 6 inches of water in the bottom of the bucket. Or a bunch of your mouse traps... possibly some 4 inch nails, or even funnel into a garbage disposal....

Thats too bad, I am really starting to get into the show.

What do you want to do to the video's after? I am a big fan of adobe after effects. You can make up a nice video of two brookie's having a force lightning battle.

Before anyone starts pointing their fingers at asians because it's an "asian" supermarket... That sign is from T&T.... Owned and operated by loblaws... Ie: Galen Weston

Is the owner of Loblaws first name actually Bob? as in Bob Loblaw? I have heard that joke so many times, never bothered to see if its real.

Yup x35 on the peanut butter, works hands down better than cheese. We use peanut butter in the bucket trick at the hunt camp and it clears em out real quick.

If you don't know the bucket trap ours works just like this...

Fille the bucket half full of water if yo uwant em dead. or just catch them and let them go if you want them alive....

Well here are some of my albums from various places this spring... Enjoy Still working on the fast action settings and the night pictures

It was alot darker that what the image appears. The higher iso will lean to that, but it'll still be a bit before the sun starts to disapear. The buildings only show up like that for about 5 or 10 mnutes right before it goes dark.... Yes I have a tripod and will set it up and see what I can do. I didn' play around too much with the settings I just left it on landscape and had time for only a few snaps. Hopefully I'll be able to get some testing done tonight.

I do a 10km portage every year for brookies in the spring. That's 10km round trip on land, fish for about 6 hours and hike out. This is with a canoe and a dayback. Pack as light as you can. Plan your meals and drinks. This will be the heaviest poriton to pack. Once you add a tent, sleeping bag, your looking at a significant amount of weight over the distance you have mentioned. Its doable though we used to do a 20km ruck march with a gun and 50 pound pack.

I have seen largies for sale as well and always wondered if that's allowed. I would guess its likely farmed or something. I don't think these stores would be in business for long selling fish caught by rod and reel. Not enough to keep the shelves full. Not cost effective enough.

I wonder if its the same grocery store I saw these for sale last year?

I guess if you run out of wood on the lake you could always cut a piece off the deck...Pretty cool

Is this about Nascar, Sturgeon or Rockbass?

I was trying to keep the sun bouncing off the buildings as it was kind of a cool scene with the deep red sunset reflecting.

F5.6

Exposure 1/8

ISO 3200

Bias 0

Max Ap 5

Focal length 250mm

Was shot from about 14 km's away from the CN Tower

I used braided fishing line to give myself a stitch while fishig before. It got removed once I got to the hospital and a real stich got put in. Crazy glue does work well as well.

For a weekend you realy don't need alot. I mean think about it. Could you survive in your backyard for a weekend with nothing? yah probably. the length of your portages and the amount of weight your willing to carry is critical. I have spent alot of time in the backcountry in algonquin. I would bring the following

Basic first aid kit

Good hunting knife

Something to star a fire with(water proof matches put a pack in your jacket, some in your fishing bag, some in your sleeping bag, some in your backpack) if you take a dunk its not likely that everything will be soaked) The water is going to be cold still and fire is you buddy.

Cooking stuff(light as possible I have an ancient tin set)

Forget the grill most backcountry camping spots have grills already, and worse comes to worse use two thick green branches or some rocks.

Water tablets or water pump(depending on what lakes your on)

Drink crystals (I like gatorade to make lakerade)

coffee or tea whatever does your fancy

Some freeze dried soup mixes (enough for every meal) They are light and can be used to season fish, get some with noodles, some with rice, all with veggies...

Some bread and peanut butter

Toilet paper

A towel

Soap

Folding buck saw(lighter than a hatchet) or a rope saw they are good as well

I never bring bear spray but lots of people do. Don't spray it inside a tent unless you are ready to cry like a baby... saw that once.

I bring a spool of twine and duct tape... Twine is fairly strong and lighter than rope.

Tent and a sleeping bag.

Bring a compass and a map if you plan on going deep or getting off the beaten trail

(I just bring my gpd instead of that stuff now as I know where I am going and I just want to know how much

longer)

As for clothes pack the clothes you need then put half of it away and don't bring it. Your fishing and camping not in a modelling contest.

The blackflies will be on full force they were already out last weekend, so bring deet and a bug net for the trails.

Ok so here is a shot I took last night. I really liked how the sunset light the building up like they were on fire, and I was able to catch the CN tower right when the red strobe lights were on... Now my problem is I don't like the picture. Too grainy and the building lights are over exposed...

Can anyone suggest to me some tips on how I can sharpen up this type of picture? I am using a Canon T2i with a 55x250mmIS lense. No filters. I do have a shade on.

Now my first thought was to lengthen the shutter time and decrease the ISO. But when I did that I lost some of the color. The image was sharper though and less grainy.

Where should I start with ISO, Shutter speed and anythign else and what should I adjust from there? Any tips are welcome. The idea of this shot is to be able to capture the color. I have about 5 minutes to take this picture as the sun sets, before the buildings lose the color.

Its taken from my balcony.

Nope, I'll just tell you.. chemong south of the causeway. Was visiting relatives...

Anyone catch the article?

What killed hundreds of Lake Simcoe fish?

Something’s fishy in Cook’s Bay and residents along Lake Simcoe want answers.

The stench and the flies are your first signs something’s amiss in the southern end of Keswick.

Residents, like Bill and Billie Dryden, who live on the bay side of Shirlea Boulevard, want to know why there are hundreds of dead fish floating in the water and bobbing lifeless in their boat slip.

They first noticed a few dead fish about two weeks ago, but realized this past weekend there was a bigger fish tale afoot.

“We could see about 50 dead ones last Friday and by Sunday there were hundreds of them floating dead in the water,” said Mrs. Dryden.
