Rizzo

my condolences to you

There's an offer I wish I could accept. Come up this way instead and I'll join you for sure Pete. Good luck (and I see I'm not the only one who sits in his boat in the garage)

despite what Tomkat has said, I actually do really well with a perch flavoured super shadrap in Kawarthas. Other than a big spinnerbait, I'd be using the shadrap or jailbird suick

if that's true, come by my place and take my entire staff, we got all kinds of goof offs :D

loved that "Some Kinda Fun" Still listen to it once in a while. I saw the same article in the Toronto Sun yesterday, very high praise to be called Canada's version of the RAMONES (only the greatest band of all time)

bugle nosed bass

that should help through those winter blues!

man those are some serious bass. Looks like a great time

good for you, great shot of the fish swimming away

its damn ugly, that's what it is

nice looking musky! Very silver without too much markings (at least in the photo)

thanks for the report. Wow, that water is just like glass too. good to see short sleeve fishing in mid october!

hahaha magnificent specimens those creek chubs.

pm sent

very nice bass. So many spots to try up there it would take a lifetime

this is sounding good! I will likely have some room in my boat for 1 fellow OFC'er, plus i will probably fish the upper 2 or 3 times in November so by december I'll know all the spots where there are no fish

brrrrrr I'm cold just thinking about it. I should be there and I bet someone will catch a fish this year too!

looks like another victim of the musky bug. Now go take out a loan and head to the tackle store1

I'm surprised to hear how many say "just above idle". Although I don't have a spedometer, I like to really give 'er! I guess that puts me in the 5 -7 mph range? As the water cools I slow down, last week-end I was probably at around 4 mph I'm guessing. Not sure I ever get to "just above idle" other than december 14 on the niagara river

I also remember as a youngster reading his articles, always excited to read the ones about fishing

sounds like tough water. I haven't fished there in about 20 years, and even then we didn't stray more than a km or 2 from the resort. All I recall is some smallies and pike up to 6 pounds or so

with the cold weather at least you won't catch any of those nude sunbathers on that boys only beach out there

Here is another picture of the same fish...didn't have time to include it in initial report. Whoever was thinking this fish may have tangled with a prop may be on to something. It was pretty banged up but seems to have healed up alright, swam away strong from its latest misfortune as well!

Got out in the Port Severn area on Saturday. No luck for a long time and then the fish turned on. My partner caught a nice fat 42 inch fish trolling a black bucktail with orange blade as we trolled back and forth over a deep weed edge. We were in 20 feet of water when it hit as we were heading back towards the shallower weeds. A few hundred meters later, I caught my ugliest musky to date. Here it is, a face only a mother could love. Half his face was missing, and the body was real banged up too. We caught the ugly one trolling across a rocky point, again in approx 20 feet of water. It was caught on a footlong Storm crankbait and measured in at 44 inches. Hit so hard I actually thought I had snagged bottom. Didn't even give me the telltale head shakes. We even backed up the boat to the spot only to have the fish surface beside the boat! Rather embarrassing to me as I was complaining about being snagged. I've heard of others think the same thing, but I always figured I would be able to tell the difference!

same question, any size?
