Sorry JJ wish I could help. I hope you find what you need. It sound like a trip of a lifetime.

That was great. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.

Who beats Cabela's for customer service......nobody. Or is that Badboy's Furniture....can't remember.

Went back to bed cause the weather was poopy? Can't possibly be a REAL FISHERMAN.So the poor lad isn't getting any....AND he has stopped fishing. What the hell would be the sense in crawling outta bed everyday?

Jackie must be a good woman to tolerate you for that long Debbe and I hit 24 years a month ago....gotta long way to go to the 50 CLUB. Congrats to you both !!!

Everytime my folks get a new dog they say this will be the last one. Can't tell you how many times that cycle has repeated itself. I think pets...dog's especially...keep you young. You don't get the "Mans best friend" tag for nothing. September 12 is shaping up to be a fine day!!! I wish you many happy memories with the newest family member.

Congrats on getting a home. Now the fun begins!!!!! As far as getting stuff for your house...do a google search for " freecycle". It is a site dedicated for people to get rid of..or get... stuff for free. There are sites all over. In the last 3 years I have got a number of things for my home and cottage and quite a bit of stuff for my daughters first apartment. And it's all free. Check it out and good luck with your new home.

Tried both. Don't like the braid for a mainline because you seem to tear alot of hooks out of fish and tear up the mouths more of the ones you do land. However you loose alot of feeders to Zebras and rocks. I have settled on 17LB mainline with a 5 foot section of braid that my feeder rides on...and then back to a one foot section of mono that my hook goes on. Seems to save me alot of tackle with more landed fish and damages the fish less as well. Seems to be workin for me.

Another nice report Meely, thanx for sharing. Youz guyz gotts it figured out.

I was gonna sneak over on the weekend for a visit and to check up on your completed Stone wall. Erika showed up with the little one so I never made it over. Once again good job on the Ski hunting. You guys are making it look easy. I will make it over another time to check your wall out.

Looks like a good little vacation to me. Did the Warsaw Caves with my kids when they where small. I remember it was a very hot humid day. One little cave in particular was very cool...felt like an air conditioner was on. Could have stayed in there all day. Thx for sharin. It brought back good memories of my own.

Tony....take your shirt off !!! Good job guys.

Nice Shayne!!! Tell your young lad congratulations for me. I got lots of fishing pictures...but my all time favourite is of my son holding a 7-8 LB Muskie he caught on Pidgeon when he was a little guy probably around the same age as your son. It was a really colourful fish and he had a smile from ear to ear!!! Time with your kids on the water....priceless. Thx for sharin.

lol...thx Tony...that was a good one. Glad you still have a sense of humor. Getting your butt kicked by your little sister and all ...must be a tough pill to swallow...lol Meely/Tony keep the pictures and reports coming. Nice to see you get into them.

NICE !!!!! Congrats to Lisa and good on you 2 for putting her on her first Musky. Nothing better then taking someone out and them having a good day. P.S. Tony, put your shirt on!!!

A modern convenience we all must have it seems. Watched the "sickness" first take my daughter, followed by my wife and most recently my son. So far I have resisted getting a cell phone. No real use for me, so why bother? If I needed one for my profession then I would have it. I figure I have about 4-5 circumstances a year where I really wished I had one. But I can't justify the cost to myself for those 4-5 times. Look up the word cheap in the dictionary...there is a smiling picture of ME. As soon as my wife/daughter told me receiving text messages was "free"...I said that will not be around for long. First they get you hooked and then they reel you in!!! Your best hope is that competition will keep prices reasonable, but it appears telus and Bell are already "in bed" together to ensure they continue to take as much out of our pockets as they can. The others will follow....it is just a matter of time.

WOW!!! One huge fish you got there!!! I fish crappies quite a bit but still have never managed one over 16 inches. Record or no record, it is the catch of a lifetime for sure. A mount or replica would be beautiful. Well done!

Meely that brute you are holding sure is a beauty. Looks like a good time was had by all....BUT...PLEASE...no more pics of Chewbacca..er..I mean Tony, shirtless!!! Well done Guys.

Did someone say "Roadtrip?"

Not in the market for one Cliff but thanx for passing on the info. I'm sure some one here will be glad to check it out.

These type of reports are what keeps me on this site. Thanx for sharing.

Like Ron at Little Lake I have noticed a decline in the numbers at my "Swim" in Caygeon. Best morning this spring was 7 landed, but last week on vacation I got skunked 3 times and that has never happened in June over at Carp Point. Average size is way down as well. Typically we get a majority of the fish 18-23 LBS..this is a guess...this year 8-12 LBS. It's to bad if a die off is happening over on Simcoe. Never like to hear of a die off of any kind. Might have to get the boat out and chase walleye and bass again. Haven't done that during the summer months since I started Carpin.

A co-worker says this all the time...Everyday is a school day. Also an old neighbor always said "Knowledge is a good thing, and it's not heavy to carry around with you either.

Not sure where you fish Clamp-It...but we catch eyes from shore ALL season long up in the Kawartha's.

Great pics.... great report Shayne. Just hafta get out there someday. IF your pops sends anymore pics PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE share them with us. I swear I could smell the salty sea air while takin in your thread. Thxs again.
