We did go up on shoreline avenue. Didnt see any smoke but lots of helicopters. Best cottage vacation we ever had and returning next year. Temagami is a great lake. Are u the guy with the big slide? I remember a long time ago it was on a members property. Stay safe

This is truly frightening for those who live up there. I just keep thinking about those pictures from Fort McMurray. Is there any chance the fires are under control and I can take my planned family vacation there next week? I've got my buddy's place booked right across the water from Findlayson Provincial park. Was supposed to leave this Saturday.

Great memories posted here and thats what its all about. Hopefully my biggest Rudd turns into my biggest cat.

Nope. Channel Cat cut bait ?. Hope they like it

Looked like orange fins to me but the pic looks red. I have no idea now

I did a bit more digging and the Rudd is already here and worry is they could mate with Golden shiners. These fish i caught had orange fins. A rudd has red fins and golden shiner has yellow/golden fins. Maybe its a hybrid? Ill show a co the pic. Thanks

oh man not another one of those..

Ohiofisherman thanks for the link and you nailed it. I caught a Roach. New species today!!

Beauty!

I caught this one tonight from Spencer Creek and 3 others about half its size. I looked all over to ID it and think its a Golden Shiner but not 100% sure. Im reading they grow to max 12" but this one was 13.5". What did I catch tonight?

We had some success Friday-Sunday catching 14 Lakers averaging 1-3 lbs (well 15 if you count the little guy I lost at the hole). Medium minnows with a small jig or treble off the bottom worked better than anything else. No ling pike or eyes. Was a fun weekend. Thanks for the tips guys.

Thanks again guys. Great tips! I'll let you know how we do. If there are any other tips i'd like to know. Cheers

Thanks for the tip. We'll have minnows. I saw a you tube video of guys jigging spoons and catching small lakers so have to try it if that fails. Anyone else been there on ice?

We meet up in Minett if that narrows it down a bit

Hi OFC, Looking for your insight and wisdom here. 4 of us have booked an ice bungalow for mid Jan weekend with Primetime Fishing Huts. We are all new to fishing the area but not new to ice fishing. Not sure if we are going to be in 20-40-100 ft. Any tips or experiences there would help us for sure. Thank you in advance

Yup that's my boy!!! Thanks for posting.

laszlo - Small world you're sister covered it lol. She did a great job!

Still going and should wrap up around 10 tonight. I'll be down tonight for my final witness time 4-8 then sticking around till the end.

Thanks! His daughter even has a small drum set beside him and she comes and goes when she feels like it. She's a trooper

Wow....My friend Steve Gaul has been drumming over 100 hours straight to raise money for Cardiac Kids and goes till Wednesday night around 10. He might even break the Guinness Record for Marathon Drumming at the end. His daughter Jersey, now 2, was born with a Congenial Heart Defect. You may have seen Steve and his daughter on CP24 last week and Y108 is covering the event throughout the day as well. Stop by the Burlington Music Centre at 2311 New Street if you live nearby. Good tunes there! http://www.cardiackids.ca/drumathon.shtml

Persistence paid off with my second trip on the grand saturday. Had my son with me and after he kept saying to move spots I finally did and was rewarded with my first big cat and off our last bait, his first as well. He also got his first sucker at a respectable 18", 2 garbage gobies, and 8 small cats off worms. Final score 12-1.

Thankfully the AS break gives us a break from all this. Time away is good LOL. Is it possible to get the Leafs game via radio from Lake Nippissing area? I'll be in an on-ice cabin for 3 days Jan 27-29.

Still my favorite and my kids love it now too. Watching it tomorrow night as we always do. Oh fudge

I know.....1st trip for him there he gets 2 ha! Like to see him repeat it. We'll find out soon enough.
