Awesome Markings ! Beau Poisson ,

You Gotta Eat Here !!! (TV show on FOOD) WE ate there 2 years ago and HOOOOLLLLAYYYY WOW! http://www.tbnewswatch.com/entertainment/179812/The-taste-of-Hoito

Terrible ,for me, 2012 will go down as the worse season ever........... First & Last time my boat was on the water is May 19th. (21 Walleye and countless Rock Bass, Tomiko) ..... last time I was fishing(*not work related)... Father's Day. (did awesome 44 Walleye and 3x 30"+ Pike, Nipissing) *not work related I work for Community Living, I bring my members fishing twice a week for 3 hours, it's not like I don't spend time fishing,I don't wet my own line, but... I help my members catch fish , mostly Panfish and the odd Smallie or Pike with the occasional Walleye... ( can't post pics , privacy policy).. For my family and myself ...Hmmmm .. looks like I might get out on Sunday .... but definitely hauling the Camper and the Boat to Nepewassi for Thanksgiving.. I'm after that 50'+ we missed last year. Randy

fishing belongs in the Olympics as much as wood splitting or underwater basket weaving.... If it would be an Olympic sport , it would probably end up like a Fish-O-Mania thing...I don't think that the IOC would let 300HP outboards compete. M/O Randy

here's something , include " angling " open species , mix it with Shot Put and see who can chuck'em the farthest ?

Yep ! never been into Bass...I never really target them, 90% of my catches are accidental..they're fun to catch. sorry.

Why is everyone sold on Shimano and Loomis ?

ABU Ambassador/50lb Power Pro & Gorilla Stick 7' MH . cant go wrong. Randy

Great Report ! Looked like a Blast ! Family time at it's best In the picture where the 'lil guy is kneeling on the dock with the walleye splayed out ... to me , the far right fish looks like a Sauger , no white spots and a darker pattern... Just me ? Randy

TJ can sell you better ones .... Eh TJ ?

Hook it up to the vehicle , works like a charm, many tourney anglers I know do it at the motels the night before , I do it myself ..don't worry the alternator can handle it .

I cant stand the music !(I muted and added my own) this video shows the trials and tribulations that Muskie anglers face on any given outing... short strikes , near misses,angler angst and depression and finally some success.. IMO it's a good compilation , thanks for posting. Randy ** edit= 12pk typo

For many anglers I know ( not me I've had no time this year ) this will be a BANNER YEAR on Nipissing for Walleye , no kidding, 30"+ are caught almost daily , and it's just starting , October will be friggin' amazing .. Reconsider Nipissing for next year ( if it's not closed ) ...

OOPS, correcting it now.. http://www.biographi.ca/009004-119.01-e.php?BioId=40949

the park wouldn't exist had it not been for my 2x great uncle Alexander. http://www.biographi.ca/009004-119.01-e.php?BioId=40949

Hope #152 doesn't get cancelled , my neighbor kid is on the card ..

I've also heard something similar , a surprise 2 Walleye limit , or a total winter ban for 5 years , ( I know some business owners who filled out a survey) something to figure out their annual fishing related income ..( probably for math on their payouts ) And also heard that if after these trials , a TOTAL 5 year closure to all forms of fishing ... ( this is from a few FN buddies of mine ) Whatever it is that they choose to do , something has to be done .

That's just insane .... It looks " Tarponish" ... or " Inconnuish" 1/2 M .... Wow!

Congrats !!

I got into a conversation last fall with one of our COs , he told me that if they are part of your business ( like an outpost rental )and registered with the MNR you're good to keep it there , anyone else can keep it on the spot for up to 21 days and must be moved 100M after 21 days , just like a camper trailer , tent or hunt camp ... apparently same applies for an ice hut left on shore during soft water. He knows of tons of tinnies hidden in the bush , unless he gets a complaint he doesn't bother the owner .

As if ... They'd be blasting I'd be casting... They aren't allowed to shoot you , but you are allowed to accidentally whack 'em in the face with a spinnerbait.

I'm not FN , I have many FNs buddies I totally understand and and relate .. Yep on that ! I don't think that his topic has anything to do with FNs .... Not a place to be jealous of othes or point fingers ... Except to those who do what they like , twist and disobey the written laws and worsten the fishery for others who care ...

I'm surprised at all the differing opinions . Some don't seem to give a flying bull , total disregard ... and others take it to the letter .... some play it safe ...

Bruce , the owner is a very good friend of mine , Kalonka has filmed a few shows there and Canada in the Rough just filmed there too , fishing is very good , it's a private lake . Send him a message his handle is , get this .... " olivethelake"
