nice pictures! Water looks kinda nasty though

Uggg....it didn't work out as I hoped. I winterized the boat a couple days ago when I saw this weather coming. At least I did get out 2 more times after my original message, and we caught fish each time. Good to close the season without getting skunked the last time out. Having said that....I do have friends who keep their boat in a heated shop so who knows, might get out with them (and maybe get skunked anyways)

None of this talk for me until Dec 16 I hope...the day after musky season closes

Huge fish

Great report! Unfortunately I didn't get up there to say hello. Tough conditions with those weather changes but at least you got into some!

Sounds like a great time. Also sounds like you had a musky on....briefly

Sorry, just seeing this post now. How did you do?

All of that looks amazing

nice job! I agree about a bit of a drive being worth it. You are probably less than 2.5 hours to some great salmon fishing on Lake O. Shoot I drive 3 hours just to get skunked by musky!

wont be turnover in mid september. Should be a great time!

boats...good times

wow. Fishing and boating for the rich only. Wish I had a house nearby...parking $35 on the front lawn

Great pictures. Whatever you are doing, it's working.

I have found the musky fishing a bit tougher at St C the last couple of years. Even last fall we didn't do great when fall was usually a fish bonanza. Kind of hard to justify the drive and I am only 2.75 hours away

yup. me too

Maybe it was just a really big black squirrel...either way, a neat find!

The fish on-line site is great for seeing what fish are in a lake. Up that way, the only inland lakes I can think of with musky, bass and walleye would be Blackstone or Crane. Rosseau has those 3 species too if you have a bazillion dollars

hopefully pigeon in june for a couple of days for musky, then hopefully pigeon again in the fall for a couple of days

last picture is shocking! Nice pictures though

This is how I fish. Lake O for salmon? 3 guys trolling. Lake St C for musky? 3 guys trolling (maybe an hour or 2 of high-risk crowded casting). Kawarthas for musky? 2 guys casting

I have a 16'8" boat full console with 90hp Yamaha 4 stroke. When I troll for salmon sometimes I go as low as 2.5...and occasionally catch the boat only going 2.2 or 2.3 then I speed up. Never actually tried to go as low as 1.8. Maybe it would do it?

Yipes! Thank goodness they checked the messages. Glad to hear you made it safely back to shore. Unfortunately it doesn't sound like a very good experience.

I did eventually do one of these online quote things (not belair...different site). Rates appeared about the same as what I am paying. There was one company "Travelers" that was a few thousand less....but I read some reviews about them and they aren't positive!

We have a 2021 Subaru Ascent, 2019 Jetta and 2016 Elantra and 5 drivers. Myself, my wife and 3 children (17, 18, 20). Have done the usual tricks like high deductibles etc. Just adding my 17 year old brought our rates from around $6300/year to around $9300 year. No claims, no points, everyone is a safe reliable driver (thankfully). Each car will be driven approx 18-20k in a year. Should I be looking around for other quotes or does this seem reasonable? I started to do an on-line quote (belair direct) but based on the questions I think it would take a guy of my typing speed an hour to complete it so I stopped. Any suggestions? Is it worth my effort to fill out the Belair forms or have others done this and found it to be a waste of time? Do you have a company I should reach out to? Or someone to definitely avoid? I have been with the same company for over 30 years but willing to switch if needed.
