Tee Hee you said breast Looks good Bruce. Hopefully Sunday is good and you will have lots more perch to barter with

Yes I have. A well thought out and designed hut. 2 thumbs up from this guy :thumbsup_anim:

Love to see this stuff I'm happy your son has rediscovered fishing. I know how good those days on the water are. I'm hoping to get my daughter out for some fall perching in the next month. We haven't done that together for awhile. Thx for sharing that :thumbsup_anim:

LOL Beansie....I do believe there are a few trees in that general area that have the same problem BTW did you and Dave make it up there this past week? Ted and I slayed perch in there yesterday

Head for Pefferlaw and follow the hordes...you will get bit.

I'm doing just fine Shayne. Come fall I'm in my happy place chasing perch. Much like your in your happy place blasting birds Pinch me....did somebody say free I got no problem hauling my trailer up your way to get it Shayne. And I certainly don't mind splitting it. My only concern with the have to get it part is there any off roading involved that my VW just will not be able to do? Once you find out for sure shoot me a PM. And thank you kindly for your help.

Like Lew I enjoy the exercise. And when they drop it off in the driveway it only takes about 30 minutes to get it stacked up. It wouldn't cut into any fishing time at all. You are right I don't have a truck but my VW tows my trailer just fine and I have hauled lots of wood and wooden skids home and too the cottage for burning. And in 22 years of living here I have never had an issue with firing up the chainsaw, but it doesn't happen alot. For the amount I have a fire...2-3 times a winter tops...it would be far more expensive for me to convert over to gas or propane as I already have everything I need for a wood fire. I could not justify that cost to myself for the amount that I would actually use it. Myself it is the whole experience of having a fire that I enjoy. Flipping a switch just wouldn't do it for me. I have always said there is 3 things I will never have in my home.An automatic garage door opener, a fake fireplace or an automatic dishwasher. So far I have broke down with the garage door opener because of Debbe's arthritis but I'm still holding firm on the other 2. When I threw this on the board I was just hoping someone local to me had a name/number to give me of someone they used to buy there wood from. Debbe is the one who really enjoys the fire so I want to get some wood in here so my favorite pyromaniac can play with it. She is suffering from withdrawal now since we have bid the cottage farewell until May.

Yes it was a perfect day despite the not so perfect weather. Tell your mom she is welcome in my boat anytime. The "shore lunch" was great and so are the goodies you sent home with me. And I'm hoping to get the garlic planted later this week when things warm up and dry up a little. Once again thx for a good day Bruce. Like I already told you, if you can sneak up again this fall, I will have a spot reserved in the boat for you.

Have a good woodstove. Got a source of wood almost free years ago but that source dried up so the woodstove is for enjoyment only now and doesn't get used too much. Ran out of wood last winter and was looking to get a bushcord this winter. Anyone out there have a source for good firewood in or around Oshawa. Aged stuff I can burn this winter. I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Best advice I can give.Take one weekend to give plastics an honest effort for Simcoe perch. 90% of the time they outfish minnows and then you will NEVER have to worry about hunting down bait. I'm on Simcoe for perch 8 months of the year and I haven't bought minnows in almost 20 years.

Hit my fall spot on Simcoe for the first time with my old man Monday. Fished from 9-1;30 and kept 27 in the 10-12 inch range. Could have limited out easily with 10-12 inchers. Let a few go that where pushing 14 inches. Man I love the fall perching on Simcoe. Bigugli it should be good for our trip in there on the 2nd. I'm looking forward to meeting your mom...and I'm fasting for the occasion 8feet of water fishing plastics under a float. Does it get any easier then that?

Where you at Glen? The cat just went crazy and ran under the bed here in Oshawa. Mind you that's not an uncommon occurrence

I have a buddy at work. 3 teenagers and one income. He barters for everything! He has got discounts from every box store you can imagine....so yes it happens.

For the people involved and for Muskie fishermen I hope it works out cause alot of hard work sweat and money has went into it. However I still feel that Muskie went the way of the dodo bird in Simcoe for a reason and I don't ever see all the hard work panning out. Now if as dedicated a group was to take on a similar project for a more sought after species on Simcoe...pick one...the efforts would have been appreciated by far more people. Again I hope it works out. I just wanted to add my full 3 Cents worth.

I agree 100% with iTunes. After I started to hear about cases going to court for pirating music I started to worry about it. So I wiped all of my Limewire off my computer and started using iTunes. It would be my luck that the week I retired I got nailed and they took my hard earned nest egg away from me because I was too cheap to pay a few bucks for music. In the last year and a half Debbe & I have purchased 96 songs. iTunes are .99 cents or $1.29 a song...you do the math. I won't even go there with regards to stealing music...others can be judge and jury on that one. Perhaps those pirating will never get caught. Maybe they will. Who knows? The route I have chosen allows me to sleep better at night. That's what's important to me.

My neighbor used to do that. Cept he was draggin the carcass home to bury under his rose bushes. Musta worked his roses where beautiful. He used to try and convince me I should do that for my Asparagus patch. I did it once and concluded that the effort required was not worth it.

I few years back I was on Simcoe Dec17 or 18 perch fishing. Had to ram over an inch of ice out of the marina with my boat to fish...but we sure hammered the perch that day I think that late a date on Simcoe will be hard for me to beat. Honestly once we are into December I'd rather be on the ice ice fishing then in the boat.

Nice perch porn Billy Bob :thumbsup_anim: I'm hoping to hit my honey hole for the first time next Sunday. Enjoy the fish fry.

Like others...I'd probably never leave Ontario to fish...just too much beautiful water to cover here at home. However my boat, tow vehicle and cottage would get some real serious upgrading

Thx for that. Put a big silly grin on my face.

Had a planned outage this spring at our place in Bobcaygeon. Gave us 3 weeks advance notice. Never gave any thought to asking for a rebate. It was supposed to be from 6AM to 9AM on a Sunday morning. It was only out for less then an hour. Maybe your outage will not be all day, just a portion of it.

Yep my wifes the expert. Lucky me I married someone with looks and brains We work as a team. Somethings in our marriage she is better at then me and visa versa so we trust each other in our respective areas of expertise. Pretty sure thats how a marriage is supposed to work. Call me the pot or the kettle or both if it makes you happy. But I can promise you that you will NEVER see a threat started on OFC by me complaining about how the big bad government or those terrible people at the bank are trying to make me poor.
