Monster laker! Great report. THX.

Great idea! I use my moms iphone all of the time for maps, I like the solar powered idea too though.

Nice carp there, good to see you active on the board!

Little scared of looking up the tilapia thing now, haven't gotten to try one yet. I do know that your not supposed to buy wild tilapia though because they are un-sustainable.

Will be out this Saturday for suckers with locnar, after that I know of a good place to pound the bullheads all day!

The one on the right on the last picture is an absolute hog! How much did that brute weigh?

Tigers are probably less abundant than auroras.

Ya, more reason to chase them though. Although I'd rather catch an aurora. Wouldn't just be fishing for the inches, just heard that they aren't too hard to catch and put up one heluva fight!

tiger trout = rare

spake =target

Just ran a quick search and realized how rare they are to catch, maybe I'll just stick to splake.

I've been thinking of spending a little time this summer targeting splake up in algonquin because I know that there are a few lakes just off of 60 that have in the past been stocked. I could use a few pointers on tactics, depth, etc. Also, does anyone know if we're counting splake in the tournament this year? I am not sure if they are present in algonquin or anyplace nearby but info on tigertrout would also be appreciated.

That is one of coolest gestures I have heard in a long time. Sorry if I affended anyone with the photo of the OOS fish that was not my intention. Anyway no harsh feelings toward anyone.

 

Tight Lines and Happy Fishing to All

Good link, it even covers fishing!

Man, that's tough, good luck getting through it.

Nice job OBG!

Huge market. Turtles (Snappers and painted) and bull frogs.

 

If you run into a rope tied off to wood or brush with a big siwash hook on the end of it. Chances are it is a turtle poacher rig. Report the area right away.

 

Only reason I know this is I found some in the back of a Kawartha bay once in the spring. Yellow nylon rope painted black.

 

Bring in big money in certain markets.

Say, what do you use to unhook a turtle?

nope ...not so bad at all BB

I can't remember which way it is but one of them has it's "brain" sucked in and the other is puffed out, but be careful morels are one of the more dangerous species to try.

There is an extensive and lucrative market for both Painted and Map turtles. I've seen some of these people at work at some of the ponds, armed with dipnets and coolers, combing the shoreline for small turtles. Have called the MNR a few times. Sadly, no one available, as the Niagara region cannot have 24/7 coverage with a 3 man team.

That's really a shame.. there should be a volunteer org. kind of like neighbourhood watch.

 

you are 1% wiser now.

So now I'm 101% smarter than you!

We had those in out hedge all of the time, they would keep us up at night, die in out swimming pool, and divebomb us! Annoying little things but nice shot there!

What was the payout? looked like you should of entered it!

Are you sure that's ontario? I never seen mountains like that around here. Looks great!
