Will be doing the same thing... as i've done every opener... but will manage to get one or 2 small bass .... gonna try cranks, wakebaits and top waters as much as i can... gotta use something other than plastics that i always rely on

Dave... we were on little current once a few years ago, we went for ice cream and i can't remember if it was there where we walked down to the river or if it was elsewhere... think there was a little tackle shop and a long boardwalk kinda thing there, sorry can't remember... guessing thats where you mean? Thought about trying the Niagara River steelhead setup there (3way with streamer and 3/4oz sinker- have a 9' med action or 11' light) and seeing if it worked or not... will bring lots of spoons and have a ton of rebel fast-tracs (more confidence in them than rapalas) to try- thanks for the heads up! young- I will check with the marina/cottages up that way and see if they can get us in a boat and on some fish! Thanks for the recommendation... we definately wanted to try Lang and if it's got a few fish there, hopefully we can get some!! Thanks

thanks for the help everyone, will definately be doing as much research as i can on all the options.. nice to have some good folks to shine some light and guide the way a little bit!! muddler- my brother lives on albert st there in town and despite him working in hvac, playing baseball and now working/volunteering with the fire dept. he hasn't seem to have met many people who either fish or want to share much about the area... which is undertandable i guess... we have fished a small lake of panage rd after walking down atv trails and a little incline at the end, got a couple bass... but the eyes, all about the eyes this year (well really all about quiting the wives lol)... thanks again for the help up there, maybe hhe/we will bump into on one of our "adventures"

thanks for the info guys... Musky or Specks- Ramsey lake is about 45mins away in sudbury i believe? seems like theres some info on it and will dig around, thanks! Joeytier- looking for a place to access that "little river" from shore, so far no luck... and manitoulin, wouldn't know where to begin, but will definately look around the .net and see if we can find anything up that way, we did end up in little current last time we were there, people were fishin' but it was a family ice cream trip so no tackle was taken... My biggest fear is ending up on private property and causing an issue... no problem putting the leg work in tho

haha... Roy... i see you're on Boucherville, my wife is from Brossard/Greenfield Park i bet it's the french connection not the $100 and there's no way to break that bond, is there? How about I buy you the best sous-marin ever made from resto-delice when i'm there this summer (hey i wasn't cheap and said i'd buy you guy la potate- tho the are the best hotdogs i've had, who knew coleslaw would be so amazing on a hotdog?!)... guess it is kinda cheap compared to the $100 tho... lol

So it officially happened, my brother and I were made fun of by our wives for lack of fish... He lives in Espanola and we visit yearly for a weekend to do a bit of shore fishing (no boat) and have caught maybe 4-5 fish, no walleye and 1 snot rocket... so this year we are heading up Aug/Sept for a visit and am hoping someone can help us get into some fish, we are okay with renting a boat from somewhere/someone or fishing from shore- we just wanna quiet the girls and have some fun... we see eachother once or twice a year so it's always good for catching up... Can someone suggest a place to start... lake/river? boat rental? willing to drive an hour... walleye/brookies... again, seeking direction not honey holes... as we are apparently very clueless to the area... Think we've fished Tulloch and either St. Leonard or pleasant lake, Brazil lake aswell as the little arm/bay of the spanish that panache rd crosses... and some stream out toward black bear camp... any help on where we should get a boat in the area and get some reults? suggestions on shore fishing to get some results? best time (aug/sept/oct)? We have been using jigs and gold spoons for pike as well.... I can't hang my head walking in the door again... and facebook teasing is starting... so i've come to the most resourceful location I can think of... Thanks for any and all direction (even if you tell me to go to hell lol) edit: for the record we are normally C&R fisherman, but a small fish fry is nice once every 15-20yrs lol

kaspersky anti virus is on sale at futureshop for $10 this week.... or option 2, go to zonealarm's website and get the "trialpay" option thing... basically, you get zonealarm suite for free if you open an ebay account and place a bid on something (you don't even have to win) and they send you a free copy of it plus a 1yrs subscription....

ahhh, to be in a boat on the river and away from the crowd at queenston... only time i ever managed to catch a bow in the niagara was from a boat, 2yrs ago next january lol

I love that part... i'm gonna start an anti group and my slogan will be...."parents, do not take your kids swimming as it is a a form of child abuse, humans need air to breathe, when they are submerged in water it cause temporary suffocation...".... classic know-it-all

the MNR wants info about cougars? dang, they got all the info they needed down here about them.... including admitting there is one... and then said "bah, screw yourselves, it's a health and safety issue... someone else can deal with it, we're outta here!!"... seems odd they'd be the least bit curious about them in another area of the province...

higher iso and longer shutter.... i assume it's a p&s camera? try atleast an 800 iso and adjust the shutter time from there.... and steady steady steady, looking at probably a minimum of a 10second shutter... or use the flash lol

no surprise here... there's a large "cat" in our area and the MNR knows it, as it's admitted so, yet they won't have anything to do with capturing it because it's too "dangerous" and they've left us up poops creek, without a paddle and even ticked in our boat before they left... if only some of the higher ups in the MNR had a clue as to what their job was (hint: it isn't working for P3TA)... http://www.niagarathisweek.com/news/commun.../article/134497

and cause i said i would lol

and here.... now i wasn't there so i don't know if it's accurate, looks about what i'd expect on my monitor, i think......

here it is

i just ran it through paint shop pro using their tungsten setting and came up with this... lightened it up a bit, removed most of the blue i think... as for the composition of the photo, tough one... for me i'd probably shoot it with the well on the far right and the steps leading up just to pull the view to the top of the hill... the path of the stairs make it weird tough tho... shoot it how yuo're happy

it's a canon so you probably can't go wrong.. i have no personal opinion of it.... lol but futureshop is having a sale tomorrow night starting at 5pm... think it's 10% off not much but a little, just a heads up

another bonus for me, just picked up a 35-70mm (52ish to 105mm w/crop factor) lense for $40 CDN shipped- psst hey brandon, it's got shake reduction too, oh wait every lense does LOL BTW- i see you're in the U.S., think the K100d super is going for $399 with the pentax rebate

i have a pentax K100d myself and love it, as brandon said it has SR (shake reduction) which gives you on average a 2 stop advantage for handheld and it's backwards compatible with lenses from a long time ago and not only that but my most recent lense, a SMC-A 50mm f1.7 lense (came standard on pentax 35mm cameras in the 80's i believe) costs around $50, it is manual focus but when set to autofocus it will not take a pic until it's IN focus, which is indicated by the flashing red light- so basically you just have to turn the focus ring manually... I originally bought a Nikon D40, but returned it shortly there after, great little camera but because the vibration reduction is in lense the lenses are expensive and they're not backwards compatible- only the D80 is ($1000 body only i believe) also only 3 areas of focus vs 11 on the pentax.... pentax lenses were cheaper and the camera was more expandable and i won't out grow it for a long while, just made sense for me... the downside to the pentax, they're not as popular as canon or nikon, so alot of stores won't carry alot of pentax gear but net shopping you should find whatever you want and ebay is a great place to start.... i bought mine new from blacks for on sale for $569.+ taxes and i see the regular price is now $569. so the sale price should be right around $500. with a kit lens... www.dpreview.com would be a great place to see some reviews and get more input aswell

Don't think they spawned in Jordan this year either... was down there mid Oct and water was very low, only a trick if that, no dead salmon on the shore and not enough rain since then.... wonder if, because they're not natural, they'd scoot over to Port D and do their thing?

here's a quickie.. just heading out the door, trying to get the "office" and "Rectory" sign to stay in colour....

i usually have one for trouting season, but my spots are still low thus i haven't renewed it yet, soon tho

nice shot... so interesting i ran it through my PP program, with the time machine setting it gives it a wild deep dark, stephen king horror movie type look.... black and white doesn't look so good, but greyscale does.... the mood is perfect for HDR imo!!

they should also accept the nexxus card, i'm positive they do, it's a $50 charge, finger printing, retina scan and a sit down interview with U.S. customs to get it tho... We usually have our birth certificates in hand as we give them our driver lic., very rarely do they wanna see the birth cert....

what i want to know is..... how early did you have to get there to have almost no fans there?! lol
