are we talking about some kind of metal bong?

..or you could have typed "sign me up" I've signed up now but don't expect to catch a dang thing until June

welcome aboard. Do you sell any live bait or just tackle?

I hear what you're saying Cliff. I met a guy Wayne (aka Lurch) on a different board years ago and he was always so willing to be helpful and share information. Well unfortunately a lot of people didn't appreciate his helpfulness because he was giving away "their" spot. I had the privilege to fish with Wayne a few times before he died a few years back, and I tell you he was as friendly a guy in person as he was behind his keyboard. Unfortunately, there aren't too many like him around anymore - the world (due to internet, more pressure, and white buckets) is a different place now! Can't really fault people for keeping things quiet. If I actually knew any good spots I'd probably keep them close to my vest as well.

wow, I've never actually seen people drive their cars on to little lake.

wow tragic news about Brian's son. Puts into perspective how insignificant the leafs/sports really are when something like this happens. Very sad for Brian and his family, my condolences to them.

How do the Leafs manage to blow leads every game I watch? I watched the Vancouver game, and then tonight's game. They have made me physically ill with their late game collapses. Big rebounds by the goalie, ride Giguere the rest of the way so the pick isn't #1 over-all. Can't believ what I just witnessed.

nice report with tons of variety (isn't ocean fishing great?) I know what you mean about those little rays/skates as well. I hooked into one when I was a kid and thought I had a giant tuna they put up such a tussle

just fishing. Don't think i could bring myself to shoot an animal (I release 99% of my fish as well). Having said that, doesn't bother me if someone else hunts as long as its put to good use (same applies for keeping fish).

man what a bunch of suckers you are. I have someone cast for me, start the retrieve and then pass it off when a fish hits...the whole cast/retrieve is waaay to much work

I have a friend who wants to get out for his first musky next summer, but doesn't necessarily have 12 hours to spend on the water. Certainly doesn't need to be a big fish. I would imagine anything in the 30-40 inch range would suit him just fine. I need to take him out close to Barrie as we only have 1 day to get out there, and he'll already be traveling a distance just to get to Barrie. I've had decent luck at both Head Lake and Balsam, but have seen a Lake/camp on the way called Young's Lake. Its about 20 minutes closer, so save me 40 minutes round trip. I haven't heard much about Young's lake, but understand there may be both pike and musky? In some ways a lake like that might not be bad as he may see some pike action (I just won't let him use my expensive baits!). The other thought was possibly Morrison Lake. Feel free to pm me if you'd prefer. Trying to get a guy his first fish, where would you go out of these 4 spots...or suggest another if you can think of something within an hour (or so) of Barrie. Thanks

skeeter have you been waiting 2 years for closure on this? I can't believe you remembered this post....or perhaps you just did a search on jb's and this came up...ya let's go with that

how many goals does giguere have this year? Leafs have to find scoring somewhere, and giguere is just as likely to score as the rest of the filler making up the line-up (except Kessel...but he only cost 2 TOP draft picks and a 2nd rounder)

all kinds in the humber. They'll hang out in the deeper pools before making a run through shallower water

smaller lighter boat will save you lots in gas $$$ (both towing and on the water). If you're not fishing the big bodies of water, and you only fish 2 guys in the boat i say go for it and get a side console. If you're gonna have three in there better go tiller

When has a ttc employee ever shown "concern for someone's well-being" when they find someone asleep? (especially when the person is in a peaceful reclined position?) I'm sure if buddy was on the floor someone would have done something.

I love the defense from the ttc guy...blaming others for not being worried for his well-being...guy was clearly asleep.

for me its a very social thing. Also a very lazy thing(once the holes are drilled). I go with a group of people, only use tip-ups (the flag kind) so there is no effort involved, bring a little hibachi on the ice with steaks and burgers and a few brown pops...and I wait until its about plus 10 in March. Guess I'm kind of a fair weather ice fisherman. Funny because on "softwater" I am relentless, going hardcore as long as I'm allowed to be out, and the worse the weather the happier I am!

haha...ya my buddy was dumb enough to book with them last year. Told me he's pretty sure half the hut was still on parking lot they were so close to shore. They caught a mudpuppy...that's what people go to Nipissing for isn't it?

can you walk 100 feet? I fished Miner's Bay a few years back and its no walk at all from your car

awesome report. I was fortunate to catch a similar sized sailfish a few years back, and reading your report brought back some great memories. I hate to say it but even better than a muskie

All I know id if you go there next summer watch out for rocks! A dangerous little lake

thats a different kind of "trip" Chris

RAMONES or Offspring or 60's music

got bored at the 2 minute mark, hopefully I didn't miss anything
