The Urban Fisherman

My only two Eyes of 2006 and I caught them on a sunday afternoon fishing with my then pregnant Girlfriend and two dogs down @ the CREDIT RIVER, in Port Credit......I was just as shocked as the rest of you! Sorry the pix aren't better - at the time I only had the camera on my cell phone because I wiped out a week or so earlier and ended up swimming in lake O, with the digi cam in my pocket. This was the first one, a beauty @ 4lbs. The pair, I caught them back to back - the smaller one was 3lbs The fillets! Dinner - in case you're wondering they were MMM MMMM gooood - and that glass on the upper left hand side isn't just ginger ale! mmmmm

wow the fin/tail paterns on that pike are just awesone! Cheers, UF

Yeah I like the show as well - it's plain and simple - a good ole fishing show. The part I like the best though is that I get to watch it online, AT WORK whenever I want..muhaha (hopefully my boss doesn't see this) haha UF

Here's a link to the minn kita specials on lebaron's website: http://www.lebaron.ca/english/specials.htm BOATMAN: I was going to get an inflatable but talked my GF into letting me get a Bass Tender style boat.... Cheers, UF

Hey Kevin, Yepp, the Re-fub's have a one year warrantee on them, a little less than the usual two year, but I had the same motor in the past and it treated me well so I went with it.....I can't wait for the spring classic either...my old man's comin down from sudbury for the weekend! should be fun! UF

Although I suppose that could apply for anybody whose doing catch and release through the ice.....I'm sure you've seen those giant pike and muskie video's on YOUTUBE....... and it's alot warmer down south compared to where I grew up (sudbury) but I bet the fishe's gills freeze over quite easily as well.... UF

Good call DSN! I never thought of that....not that the lake even freezes over here in Port Credit, but I was just thinkin' there's so many carp around it's crazy.....I wonder if any of them even stay shallow enough....hmmmm ah well something i'll probably never know....bring on spring carp fishing!!!! UF

Hey all, Well, I've got hte winter blues and figured I better go spend a few dollars on fishing gear. I was in need for a new ultra-light so that was my starting point. When we got to Lebaron's I realised they had re-furb minnkota's on sale and boy what a steal - the exact motor I was going to buy this summer ( 30 lb thrust endura w/ forward & reverse speeds) was just over 80 bucks!!!!!! they're 159.00 @ canadian tire! Also got myself a new Ultralight Berkley Lightnight rod - seems like a nice rod for 37 bucks..so all in all a great day shopping and if you're in the market for a new electric motor you should check out the sale they have going on...they've got bow mounts also! Cheers, UF

I vote for boundaries in tournaments - but I think it should go both ways, if you fish a Canadian Tourney you shouldn't be taking fish from american waters.... UF

hahaha MAN I WANNA TRY THIS! This is where I found the pics and article: http://www.carpanglersgroup.com/icefishingcarp05.html UF

That fight made my day! I miss those days of hockey! UF

well looks like i'm going to have to step up and start voting... UF

VERNO: I know of those regs, but we're hoping to rent part of a house and it's going to be for at least three years so I don't want to deal with pieved off landlords.....just wanna be stress free (as possible) Fishergirl: www.freewebs.com/averiebonin (try again if ya want! heh) Cheers, UF

Hey all, Sorry to start another non-fishing thread but I'm really starting to get frustrated. My GF and I have been searching for an apartment for nearly FIVE MONTHS now without any success. The problem is that we have two dogs (a yorkie and a beagle) and NOBODY wants pets. We also have a 4-month-old daughter (Averie). I'm working full time as an assistant film editor and doing some side work to help save some extra cash. Ginny's studying psychology through correspondence to finish her undergrad, then starting her post grad @ U of T next year. We have a limited budget of around $900.00 a month just because we'd like to put some money away. Our dogs are currently living with our parents until we find somewhere new to live. We even had one place say the dogs were ok but they didn't want a baby living in the basement!!! We'd like to rent part of a house, either the main floor of a tiny house or a basement apartment that allows access to the yard. If anyone knows of any available apartments please let me know! We'd prefer the west side of the GTA because of family being near by, but are open to anything that would suit our needs. Thanks for your time! Cheers, Ryan

great intro...i'm sure you'll be a solid addition to the OFC group! UF

good luck dude! wish I could help! UF

yepp - the old man hated cleaning them but I made him keep me hammer handles all my life...now that I live down south I've gotta figure out how to clean them myself! UF

I just click "UPDATE" whenever OSX prompts me! hehehe Ever since I switched from PC to MAC I've been doing less of this and more of this But hey, some people use braid and some use floro....to each his own.... UF

hey dude, I'm going to try the mouth of the credit later this week - i'll let you know how it goes! UF

hahaha no doubt

Wish I could make it dude! Keep up the good work and I'll see you @ the Spring and Bass Pro Shows! Ryan
