good luck! I helped a friend push one through before. Found it tough to push it through the skin on the other side so I took a knife and made an opening on the far side. I thought it worked great! He didn't seem to enjoy it though. We would have gone to hospital but that would have cut into fishing time. Couple of ice cubes, couple of shots of JD (for both of us) and it was all over.

I got a Halle Hansen (or whatever its called) at Grimsby Bait and Tackle a couple of years ago for not much over 200.00

save your energy for bigger battles. Not sure any breakage on 4 lb test could be considered "inappropriate". I figure stuff like that breaks if you look at it funny.

Shetland pony...get yerself a mini saddle and you're in for the ride of your life

really, doesn't Dunnville have a whole festival named after these creepy little buggers

nice fish, but where's the mudskippers or mudpuppies or whatever the frick they call them down there

People are talking about hammering some re-bar down etc - what are these covers usually made of? I know at our cottage the cover (which we leave exposed) is plastic. I'd think a piece of re-bar would go right through it..keep hammering till you hear a splash!

yes, quite an animal...that's why I suffered through the pain of the "wuss" rock

Very nice! You are in the same "boat" as me. #3 expected this May sure puts a damper on new boat plans but well worth it!

whatever it is, I'm just glad that music ended...pretty sure my ears are bleeding

congrats on the new vessel

too funny. I actually had a worse experience than "pill-giving" with my cat. Had to give it the tomato juice bath after a skunk encounter. Crazy little jerk got loose while covered in red sauce. There was a huge red smear when I was finally able to tackle him!

Glad I read this. We just bought a place with a septic and I was wondering the exact same thing about finding the lid. I'll see what the current owners can tell me about its location. Hope you are able to find yours!

hahaha I have seen some people over there before...wasn't too pretty. does that mean they are quite deep? They actually look pretty shallow and flat. Would be a shame if a bass or two found their way in there :rolleyes:

Jamie where you been? You're welcome to borrow mine if you're coming through Barrie any time.

I see some big ponds on either side of the road out highway 90 between Barrie and Angus. Anyone know if there is any fish in them?

my sentiments exactly. Freshwater fish taste pretty much like dirt to me. Even walleyes get a "get out of jail free" card in my boat! Nice walleye's by the way out of St. John. I was also unaware there was a slot there...but when you don't keep any fish its not really on your mind!

now THAT'S a boat!!!!

thanks Wayne

that is just nasty. Don't let your kids play down there! My biggest fear playing near streams when I was a kid was a crayfish pinching my toe or a leech getting a meal out of me...not stepping on a used needle

Whatever you do, don't call Sunset Cove to find out! Doesn't it seem that when the fishing is lousy, Lodge owners will always tell you how well the guys did the week before. Just once I want to be that guy the week before!

can't believe nobody has jumped on this one yet, unless of course they have an earlier opener there than most of the province

that wasn't rambling, because if it was I wouldn't have read the whole thing line by line. A good read and a nice tribute

holy smokes guys, those are peacock bass, not perch! (except Paul's...definitely a perch)
