Great fishing trip guys....way to go,and like you said cliff man do they ever fight...and hey as usual carol is still catching bigger fish than you...lol..lol cheers well done

Great catch. ..and it sounds like everyone had a great time and you guys all caught a ton of perch,looks like you will be eating good for a while yummy perch filletts...cool...cheers

Well that was a very interesting fishing trip....how would you ever think you would be helping out a stranded pilot,whose battery went dead,WOW....too bad you never even got a fish to show for it,well maybe next time,thanks for sharing your exciting trip cheers

Nice spawned out female steelhead you caught there,its great to see so many pics of all these steelhead that have layed their precious cargo of eggs....well done thanks for sharing cheers

Well we started out about 5:30am saturday morning i decided not to do the trout opener as i wanted to be in my new boat...so off we went to the kawarthas,tri-lakes area and met up with a few people one of whom lives on the lake ,so between about 6 of us and including jhon kerr,from ontario out of doors,as well as the toronto starr outdoor writer,well we went crappie fishing using floats and small tubes ,and managed about 100 crappies ,some real nice ones,around the 13-15 inch mark ,but we also threw back at least the same amount,of small ones but we did have to keep changing areas as they did move around,most were caught in the late afternoon,as it was very cold sat morning and we also got rain as well,and sunday morn it was not as good,again it was cold so as the day went on the fishing was better,so i guess we did ok considering the water temp was around 52 degrees but warmed to 53 by mid-day,so sorry there is no pics,as i didnt have my camera,because im stupid and forgot it at home,my bud did take a few pics so i have to see if he can send me a few,so all in all it was a pretty good opener,and now with the warm temps we are supposed to get it will get even better,with the big females yet to move in, so get out there as the water warms up and hit those crappies,....cheers

I have lots of freinds that live on waterfront property all over southern ontario,and in the bancroft area ,and everyone of them would never treade it for the world,and some of their places have doubled and tripled in price its amazing,and there is getting less of it all the time,if you can afford it well you know what to do....good-luck cheers

Thats to bad jigger...everything looked great ,and she looks ready to fish,well untill that log got in the way....sorry to hear that,if you dont repair the prop i have a brand new 15hp prop from a merc that will fit that mariner,take care hope you get her all fixed up...cheers

Awesome reel & rod,ive been using the accurist like wayne said for about 5 years now,for bottom bouncing for walleyes and i love it,i went back last year and bought another one as my main baitcaster reel,you will get years out of it,great choice....cheers

Nice looking new/used boat....and ya gotta love that new minn kota on the front,they work really well,and last forever,cheers

Right on great catch...and man are they ever tasty...thanks for the report cheers

Well done mike...you are the man....and hey thats a great father-son team you guys got going on there...glad you guys got into some decent lakers.. .and too bad about your board and your very expensive lucky-craft...he must have been a blind idiot,not to see a bright orange board...well what can you do,...thanks for sharing.......cheers

ther is tons or camps,and lodges all around lake nipissing,french river area,also around georgian bay,and they are all within a few hours drive,and they all have great fishing and really nice sceneryand clean water to swim and to generally relax and take it all in...good-luck cheers oh and there are all kinds of OFC members that live in those areas and would be glad to help you out,just pick an area

Hi david,thats great news and yes i think there would be alot of intrest for a walleye talk or multi-species talk for sure,maybe even one on panfish and start to get everyone interested in crappie fishing as there is now millions of them in all the kawarthaws,its like a whole new fishery opening up out there and not to many people take advantage of it..great ideas thanks for posting that...maybe you should start a new thread about that so people can let you know...cheers

......SPARE BOAT PLUG,.. ....GPS,........walkie talkie if you are fishing with freinds in another boat or a VHF MARINE RADIO oh ya they rock because you get constant weather reports.....

Holy crap...thats one huge gar. .. ..what does that thing eat???? and man is that one ugly fish for sure,how did they catch that thing. ..man oh man....cheers

Great fishing as usual scott..thanks for sharing,and yes its good to see those spawned out hens,and they did get to do their business. ..lets hope the tribs dont get washed out this weekend...fingers crossed...cheers

Great catch ben.. ...beauty brown trout, and on a bucktail spinner,thats the first time i have heard of a brown hitting a bucktail,i take it you were after pike ...well that brown will top a pike anyday....cheers

Nice new ride.... now you have to get her all decked out with all the bells and whistles...im sure she will give you many years of fishing pleasure..lol..lol cheers

Great catch,and gotta love those big slabs,...and man are they tasty,thanks for the report and pics...cheers

Well you might be right cliff,from the weather we are going to get it doesnt sound very good they said we got alot of rain comming so ,lets hope it stays fishable, and lets hope the trout dont use the high water to drop back down to the lake...its gonna be a nail bitter for sure,well your post says you and carol have some places picked out so remember cliff,if you are fishing different creeks not all of them will be the same ...as in muddiness some clear quick and some will be clay coloured,and if you are way up in the headwaters it might not even get muddy or washed-out,....good-luck cheers

Well about 15 yrs ago,i remeber asking a charter boat captain about those big black birds i saw all around the port darlington harbor just out in the lake,and he told me he thought it was some speices of loons,and every year since,there have been more and more and now as we all know there are thousands of them,so its proof that they are increasing in numbers ten fold,and about 4 yrs ago,i spotted one on the ottawa river near petawawa,and they have never been there before either so lets attack the govt for not letting the MNR do the job that they know has to be done,to kill them in huge numbers,they can hire hunters and at least make a season on them so they can be hunted big time...or put a bounty on them...that would work for sure....i hope they do something as its gonna get even worse,or before its to late, god dam polititions idiots
