Don't you

Would not recommend a 4 inch manual for slabs. I have a 5 inch lazer and I had several fish last winter I had to roll up the sleeves grab by the lip and force through that 5 inch hole. A 4 inch hole with a 14inch plus crappie would be something I would try to avoid.

Don't tell the crappie in Scugog that. I like catching them in 3 FOW through the ice I think they just move to where ever they are going to be able to feed the best. Now I'm talking an evening/nite bite here in water that shallow. During the day I'm sure they are deeper. I have not run across anyone getting them with any consistant success during the day in Scugog. In crappie magazines I have read that in alot of waters they feed mostly after dark. I hope this isn't true for the Kawartha's. I'm just not interested in being out on the ice too long after dark.

Loved the fish fry...but now I'm hungry Whenever I have a Simcoe perch fry with my brother and dad it always includes homefries and baked beans. Have you tried the maple flavored? I think they are the best with a fish fry.

My 2002 VW has Never been washed..ever. Buy a silver car...problem solved

No problems...I was only poking fun. Over full asking price ....perhaps I should rethink my previous statement. Who did you say your listing agent was

I'm confused If you sold you house and only have enough found money for a stove or a trolling motor. Would you be so kind as to tell me who your listing/selling agent is....just so I can stay FAR FAR away from them

Years ago I laid claim to the bottom right crisper. Since then it is referred to as "Dad's Crisper" It harbors my veggies seeds and all things fishing related. Worms, leeches, maggots & roe. No one opens that crisper except me, cause they all know there is nothing they want in there anyway This has worked well for years. But I'm sure if I ever get an "escapee". The committee will out vote me and things will change

Well I can vouch for your location Cliff. You and Sue have a nice home in a perfect location. We stay at a hotel every fall in Orillia for my perch weekend with my brother and dad. The Eagle Inn cost us $90 a night and has a kitchen so we can clean our catch and do a fish fry. And just down the road is a Hotel that is $75 a night for 2 beds and a pull out couch, but no kitchen. Neither place is near as nice as what you have. But both are adequate for a guys fishing weekend. I guess it just comes down to who you wanna attract. And how much time money and energy you wanna invest into it. This is a ground floor opportunity for sure with Ice Fishing opening up this winter. I can see a tidy little profit in there for anybody willing to give it an honest go. Good luck with it Cliff.

Sad...but absolutely true.

This is SWEEEEEEEEET news!!!! I had planned to retire to the Kawartha's anyway....but now I just HAVE to retire there! Bring on the ice!!!

MMMMMM...perch. Nothing better from fresh water IMO. Looks like you where fishing in over 30 FOW cause you got some bug eyed ones there. Enjoy the fish fry.

Great pics and report. Looks like a lot of honest hard work...and fun. Thx for sharin.

Thanks to all for responding. I truly didn't know and was just curious. The gang wasn't there this morning, but one little fellow was there by himself at 5PM on the way home.

Good to hear Robert. Put him to work making more salsa and pickles as soon as you can Seriously though....tell the old fart to take it easy so he can handle a day or 2 on the ice this winter.

Some big coyotes too. Saw a huge one last week. Might wanna do the early morning float fishing with a buddy. Or pack a ...cough...gun

I figured guns would be a no no for sure...I was more curious about crossbows or bows.

For 3 days in a row on my way to and from work in south Oshawa... in the harbor area...I have passed a group of deer feeding in the back of a cut down corn field. I figure the farmer must have had a spill of corn there because they are always in the exact same spot. Can you hunt in such an area? I'm just curious. I snicker when I see all the posts on here about some folks having trouble bagging one this year when I could have easily got one of these. They are about 80 yards from the road and don't even look up when I drive by. Not trying to rub salt in any hunter who is being skunked this fall...I really just am curious about the law.

This time of year all the perch move out of Cook's Bay and head for the narrow's in Orillia. The real big jumbo's hide under the bridge there. Any muskie size crankbait will do the trick. Good luck And BTW welcome aboard

Thoughts are with you today Bruce. A quick tune up and oil change and you will be good to go. Just make sure you take it easy when you are on the mend. All the best, Steve

I'm in awe when I see such things. I have my chest PUFFED way out when I assemble a new BBQ. And am darn surprised when it actually works after assembly...cause I usually have bags of spare parts and screws I didn't use Give yourself a pat on the back, relax and have yourself a beer. You earned it.

A fishing partner,a rock,a pair of pliers. An "it" and no mes. Great report

A buddy I fish with kills perch and crappie with those. And he fishes them as a cast and retrieve without a float. He has the touch for it. I do not. Or rather I just find it much easier under a float. When we fish together it is a friendly competition to see who puts more fish in the boat. When the water is warmer he tends to outfish me. But when the water is cold I tend to do better under the float. Both work. Just pick which you are most comfortable with and good luck.

Well done Emil. Looks like you had a busy day. I was out off Sibbald last weekend and had similar results. No size but lotsa fish to keep you busy. You and the kids had mint weather that's for sure. Enjoy the fish fry.

Thx Terry. That pretty much sums it up. God bless them all.
