Rizzo

You've written a very nice tribute, I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

you just ruined tonight's dreams

think he called it "rabbit starvation" because of the lack of fat in the meat (unless you eat the organs etc). Personally, I'd rather die of "beaver feaver"...don't know what it might be, but sounds like it might be a fun ride

loblaws...aisle 4. Creative photography and you can make it look like you caught it out front of the church with the big steeple. 22 inches? Heck, get one as big as you're willing to pay for

nice report jb. Its been a while since I fished 6 Mile, used to get some pretty big crappies in there when bass fishing

Congrats Ron on an unbelievable fish. I'm just glad I don't catch any like that, my tapemeasure only goes to 36

now that's a morning! Great photos Lew, and nice persistence. Who needs GPS? Sounds like ypu knew exactly where these fish would be

no clip of the tooth fairy, but Elvis stole a cheeseburger I had cooling on my window sill

unless you've got some grey matter with a treble, not sure that fits the description of a "lure"

hmmm, I believe this was discussed at length the other day and eventually the thread was deleted

I never actually used the launch, but I did catch a nice smallie over near the rock face by the marina. I believe the store there only had worms I had a girlfriend with a place up there and they would leave their boat in the water so I never brought mine up (hence no use of the launch). Which area is north and which is south I couldn't tell you, but they were on Rabbit Island and there were all kinds of bass in the bay their cottage was in. i didn't fish much (wasn't allowed :D ) but when I did manage to sneak out it was either in the bay infront of their cottage for smallies, or over by the falls for pickerel. There are actually 2 sets of falls, a smaller set a couple of hundred meters (I believe) to the right of the obvious falls. Fishing the shopreline between the 2 falls worked for me. We caught very few pike in that area, I was told that pike fishing was better at "the other end of the lake"...whichever end that was, I never looked at a map, usually had someone who knew the lake with me if I was venturing any distance.

yes there are 2 marinas on go home lake rd I believe. I always went to the furthest one, but its been a few years. I did catch walleye over by the falls. Lake is also jammed with smallies, shouldn't be a problem to have a decent day now that boat traffic is dying down.

I'm a believer in the "lyman" saw a guy use one today and what an awesome action it had I'll definitely pick one up...oh yes I'm also a believer in the believer, although a swimm whizz will do in a pinch

hahaha that narrator is a total buttnut. I especially liked the part where he claims that they were "dominated" by this animal. Luckily he edited out the footage when the sasquatch plays the banjo and forces them to squeal like a pig.

no way jose. I see how much time my wife wastes there, not getting involved. My e-mail inbox is filled everyday with facebook e-mails saying some fruitcup commented on some photos

thanks for the report. It would appear the herring are making a comeback. There were quite a few caught in last years charity tournament held out front of the southshore centre

methinks I missed something...again

whatever they are, they're all too small. When the lip is bigger than the bait you're undersized

yipes if I know what you're referring to. My suggestion is stay the heck away from that beach, I stumbled upon it as a teen in the 1980's, my eyesight still hasn't fully come back. Tried to see if there were any girls around, but nope, not a one.

ya, I've already heard the rainy lake one. Wonder where the fish will be from next? Might as well make it a longshot, my money is on Island Lake -Orangeville

thanks for the update. I seem to recall some negative reports about this place, glad it worked out for you. Sounds like the fishing was awesome with both size and numbers.

like I said, 3 simple words if you're after pickerel: 9 inch suick ;)

wow, heck of a bass, congrats on the personal best. Couple of weeks and that brute will be a 5 lb'er. As far as the bullhead, man what an ugly beast. Toss that sucker into the log ride and get the heck outta there.

Nice report, glad to see the fish cooperate for you again. Thats a beauty carp, and I see you also were able to land the elusive "dirt bass"

caught a few pelican in my day, and last year a loon...the time I hooked into an ostrich though, now that's a episode I don't need to re-live.
