I find they do not make very good toilet paper

It will definitely be offered here first before going the kijiji route, once I 1) find out what is required and 2) get wife's permission to buy bigger boat. Some have seen the boat at past Lakair's and I'm pretty sure Lew's brother had the same boat. Just finished uploading a few pictures to the site (even that is a challenge for me...now to remember how to include them in a post!)

So I'm seriously considering selling my boat/motor/trailer, just wondering what is required to file all the paperwork. I know for used car sales there is a package you purchase from the ministry of transportation. Is there such a package for boats? Is that a necessary step or is this not required for boats? Please excuse my ignorance on the subject but this is a first for me

So how did it taste?

Some big muskies in the Magnetewan around Britt

geez I'd be happy with $12. I've been to lots that are 15 or 20. Good luck with the camping/fishing jb. Let me know if you can get out this thursday

I second 6 mile provincial park. I've caught bass casting right from the launch before putting the boat in!

i'd like to hear how you did. I've never fished that lake but I do fish Head Lake once or twice a season and Balsam 4 or 5 times which aren't too far away

waders are too hard to cast, I would suggest you try fishing with lures

nice looking fish, that eye sure has a nice set of choppers!

for topwater I like a pop-r. Hard to beat a lively leech though. I just toss em out there, no weight no nothing, just let em swim around until your line suddenly tightens...let the fun begin

wow, fish proctologist...mow there's an occupation I never thought about, but sounds like there might be a demand

fished manitouwabing a coupleof times...some big pike and smallies in there. Other than "Windfall Lake" where our cottage is (also near Parry Sound) I mainly fish Balsam and then the upper niagara in the fall

outstanding! great report Lew

thanks guys. I believe I was the first to reply and I remember saying that it didn't look like any shoreline on the upper niagara that I could think of. Wasn't aware of the season issue because my boat is still in storage, haven't even thought about fishing yet

just grey here, so unusual for Barrie where the sky is always blue (especially in winter...its hard to be sarcastic on the computer isn't it)

Somebody posted about a day on the upper niagara about 4 or 5 days ago and had a picture of a musky along a shoreline. I haven't been around much and wanted to read the rest of it but can't seem to find it. Was it pulled for some reason or am I just blind

man I wish this was the kind of snooping my wife would do!

haha...sounds like they've got a few tricks up their sleeve. I just happened to drive by and saw a few respectable-looking boats there (smokercraft, lowe). Like anything in life, I guess if it looks too good to be true it probably is. Selling the trailer separate is BIG JOKE. I guess they watch you buy the boat, then some guy "planted" in the group drives up the price on the matching trailer...who's responsibility is it then to get your boat off his trailer if you eventually give in!

Anyone have experience buying a boat from the auction place on the 400 just south of Barrie? Is it pretty much reliable boats with a lemon or two mixed in, or more lemons with the odd "diamond in the rough" mixed in?

outstanding! Gotta love those wahoo...and the speed of a fish like that is just ridiculous. Great report, hard to beat the fight of a saltwater fish (the "wimps" of the ocean even make smallmouth look weak)

nice looking fish (although personally I would have endured the beating and slimed the leather seats!)

Head Lake is pretty good, lots of different types of structure but the fish are a little small but in good numbers. Launch is lousy which means usually not much boating traffic. Also its not part of the trent severn route so again far less boat traffic. Balsam you'll find bigger water (rough conditions) bigger boats (more traffic) but also bigger fish. I actually fish both throughout the season depending on my mood.

Right on! And only 100 casts? You're way ahead of the game. Best news is for most people it actually gets easier from here on in (notice I said easier...not easy)

No women ever fish with me. Did I mention I fart a lot?
