Rizzo

We've got some relatives on Balsam, I asked them about Mitchell because it does look good from the road! They said pretty much what you've been hearing here..."good from far, but far from good". Give it a shot and if it doesn't pan out there are many lakes a very short distance away, make your holiday a bit of an exploring adventure!

this is easy, one of the greatest bands of all time R A M O N E S !!! (may most of them rest in peace) following in their footsteps, I think second best would have to be the Offspring who have unbelievable talent, just don't have the mystique/presence the Ramones had. On the positive side, they are alive.

good chart, still not sure how much ice I need for my pogo stick though

-12 in barrie this morning, that'll make ice in a hurry! Glad to hear someone getting out in southern ontario!

awesome stuff. I hear there are a lot of hammerheads in the Singer Island area, go get a big one!

man oh man what a collection of misfit fish! Sounds like you caught every creepy crawly the depths had to offer up. Good stuff

happy B-day. Man that is some serious green grass for mid january

pike teeth will cut through 30lb braid like a hot knife through butter. When that happens you've lost a lure and possibly killed a real nice fish. I tie 50 lb fluoro leaders for pike and have not been bit off (yet) BUT I have had to discard some leaders because they are nicked. Once they have a weak spot those leaders break real easy so you have to keep an eye on them

yipes, those things look like bass almost! Big perch, lots not forget xrap is 6'8" 325lbs

I like your boots

BONZI!!!

can't believe I put my boat into storage in November

ya, what they said. Great place to keep the kids busy and catch a ton of 7 inch perch. Rain tomorrow I think, but not too cold. Don't stay longer than the young ones want and it should work out great

don't fish with Rizzo...he's a jerk and always catches the biggest fish

what's the world coming to, saw people boating around on Kempenfelt bay today as well!

just to get out on the water more often, try out at least 2 new lakes I've never fished before

I won't debate you for using the lip-gripper on that specimen, I wouldn't touch one of those either. Much like women, fish with whiskers creep me out.

I hear in the spring you can get some real nice ones at the narrows betweem simcoe and Cooch, not sure what the action would be like there now though.

spring fishing show is coming up, its where most of my baits get purchased for the year

Thanks for the report, sounds like a great experience

thanks for the update. 4 over 10 inches is better than what I saw people doing yesterday. Those pike in there must be on a feeding frenzy right now...just swim around with mouth open!

good luck to both of you, let us know how you do

we were out there as well from about 10:30 to 12:30. Same results, lots of action but most very small

good luck to you! Not sure if anyone ever gets jumbos in there, but I've seen some in the 10 inch range. We fished a bit today for 2 hours and caught a ton of dinks

very nice! A few of those would make some real nice pike bait
