LOL, amazing.

little ball of fluff eh ?

was that steelie from today ?

I love that silver shine! Maybe I'll have to hit up Wilmot this week.

I've been doing a lot of internet shopping lately, and I've saved a whole bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico. Well, maybe not, but I have been getting cheap fishing stuff.

Just insane, although i'd love to give it a shot.

oh, i can almost feel the tap tap.

I've only ever fished the BOQ for bass, but I'd love to get down and try for some eyes.

I forget the names of the parks, you might have to do a quick google search, but I have two in mind. First is on Mill Lake (10 mins North of Parry Sound). Tons of pike, bass, walleye in this lake. Scenery is great, even a beach and rentals, and cheap too! If you like cliff jumping, there's some good spots aswell. Second is on Ahmic Lake (20 mins West of Magnetawan). I'm pretty sure it's called Ahmic Lake Resort. Scenery not quite as nice, but still a northern Muskoka scenic lake. There is a beach, rentals, and the best bass fishing I have ever encountered! Topwater all day long! PM me if you want to see pictures from either lake.

Awesome! I've never caught one over 7. Good job!

I'll PM you when the ice is thick enough. It's funny, I fish a minimum of 100 days a year. 90% of those days, I'm bass fishing. But, I still have never caught a whitefish! I've gone out to Simcoe, dropped spreaders, Badd Boyz, Half and Halfs, all I ever catch are lakers !!

diiiirrrty. i would puke, then get back on !!

I just got a report that there is about 2 inches of blue ice and about an inch of white ice, so pretty much... they are dumb haha. But, it will be super cold tonight so who knows for tomorrow. At least there are always docks there, and perch all around you.

Kempenfelt Bay is frozen, but not safe. The marina in Barrie is frozen and there were people on the ice today, but I don't know the conditions, they might be dumb, or the ice might be ready. If not, sit on a dock and punch a hole right beside you.

I'm heading up there on the 26th for 3 days. Any tips ?? Also, did you eat that ling ? We ate a few of them up there last year and man were they ever delicious !!

Billy Bob's Bait and Tackle.

That is a mean looking lake. I have fished on Erie and Simcoe in 7 footers, but that is zero compared to that! WOW!

Majority, not all, but majority of these salmon are from hatcheries, its kinda sad actually that we can only sustain the population through hatcheries. However, that being said, most of these fish are unsuccessful in their spawn, and they die right after spawning, so it's a put and take fishery. Your license dollars go towards putting more of them back into the lake! EDIT- and also, as Terry said, most rivers or creeks have an area well known for spawning which is closed off, most areas being dams where the fish gather in large numbers. I go to school at Fleming College and we are very actively involved in salmon rehabilitation, especially of Atlantic Salmon. We obtain eggs from salmon directly in the rivers and hatch them at our school, we stock different levels of fingerlings and yearlings back into the creeks and rivers of Lake Ontario. We are hoping for a self sustaining population by 2020.

incredible! i love it.

Last year we brought up a few dozen maggots, we slaughtered the herring and perch on them, even got a few nice whities !! Their not expensive either.

Nice report! I wouldnt have even considered throwing a rattle trap in 30 something degree water, probably not even below 50. But thats why I like this board, ya learn something new every day.

I'll help! I'll help! haha

Brian, where did u shoot the snowshoes ?? I know there's some in the Minesing area, but generally they are a northern species. I'm thinking not too many around Mississauga where Clampet is from.

yeah thats an eastern cottontail, they don't change colour. It's the snowshoe hare that changes colour, but you'll need to travel a little further north to see one of them.

I've heard 5.00 a dozen as well. Only really a 1.00 jump, not huge, but not convenient.
