Much more original now

Nice Michigan Mit. How do you like that thing ?...Beauty fish. Must be nice not to have to mess up your backgrounds

Great subject name ...Where did you get the idea ??? <_<

uhh ok , I didn't know either..Thanks for the tip I guess

Where he was fishing , you don't have a choice ... I couldn't do it again this morning...wind must have been howling out there ,Dude...Nice snow bow !!

Indeed they do... 5-10 guys out there today, compared to the usual 25-30 SHHHHHHHH, Do I have to start blacking out the backrounds , You wouldn't believe how many guessing game PM's I get lately ..... The leg work paid off today a bit. More so at keeping my toe's warm LOL. I have a date with my pillow tomorrow morning . You have no idea how jealous I was when I called you this morning and you were at home , and I was out freezing my nuts off ....Good call , hopefully tomorrow is more forgiving for you...

Well , I knew what I was getting into last night when I agreed to get out this morning with Sil and Berge.... I thought to myself " high of -3...hmmm that's not that bad. You've dealt with colder, in March so how bad could it be " ... I guess the first slush fest of the season is always the worst !!! We hit our first destination by about 7am. There was a good 2" layer of ice covering probably 80% of the pool with a solid slush run, flowing down the centre . Defenitely not fishable water.. Time to get to work. Spent a good hour breaking ice, and pushing the big ice sheets out of the pool.. Saw a few fish surface in the process, so it kept me going.. I guess this would be a good time to THANK everyone : Poly socks + marino wool is a life saving combo...the feet wouldn't have made it through the first hour without the new sock combo..Thanks guys !! Anyway , I did the best that I could clearing the pool of the ice but the slush still made it unfishable...We walked the stream for another hour or so waiting for the sun to peak over the hill. Finally by about 10AM we came back to some fishable water.... The cold temps has slowed down the fish quite a bit in the last few days , but there were still some fish to be plucked through the slush... Going on 2 hours sleep, I was still a little messed up from last nights , galavanting Buddy next to us was fishing with 2 beautifull LABS this morning....This little guy loved the taste off fish slime.. I couldn't get him to stop licking the chrome so I could take a pic....Sooo funny..... we all had a laugh I saw a possible drift, so I gave it a go without thinking about a landing spot... Thank God for Sil , who quickly smashed through a 6ft slab of shorline ice to make me a landing zone... I owe you one Sil !! This one was Sil's idea ...We dedicated it to Solo ....Sil your getting better with the camera every outing !! Hoping for some warmer temps next weekend.... Good buddy's make even some of the worst fishing conditions a good time, Thanks guys...

Wow Mike, Those hens on the Manistee are truly the cleanest steelhead I have yet to see.....The colors are amazing and so clean/crisp... Love the new movies additions lately.. LOL @ "lower the rod and just suck em right in "...must be quite an experience to fight steelhead with the pin from a boat deck..Got to book a trip one day.. AWESOME REPORT...I still had pics burned in to my head from the trip you made out there last year, and now this !!!

Goin to BPS on the way home .... Does anyone know of anywhere less expensive to pick up the Polypropylene socks....BPS like to bend you over for everthing Yes , Virm the GRAF does help, LOL !!! My girl is Masi so I have picked up a few new meals

"OLD SPICE" on the toes , I dunno ...

That's got GAY written all over it ...wonder if regular automotive silicone spray will work ?

Help me out guys.... My feet freeze when I am out fishing this time of year, to a point where it forces me to stop fishing and walk around for 5-10 mins to warm them up again... I have tried thick socks , two pairs of socks, and even plastic bagging my feet before I put on my waders and nothing seems to keep them warm .... I know the whole feet warmer thing, but I am trying to figure out the best possible solution with socks that will keep me warm without having to spend money on the feet warmers every trip... Thanks Dave

With a name like chromemachine your gonna need the pics to back it up

Did the cork thing last year...It keeps the fingers warm...but makes your pin look damn ugly !! I couldn't stand to look at it after half a day of fishing...I like my pretty gold reel

that's awesome...looks like you just punched a whole through the ice with your boot !!!

PM Sly...He has the only one I have ever seen on Simcoe... He will probably take you out fishin with it if you ask him. Hopefully he is recovering well and we will get to see him on the hardwater this year..... SLY Chime in bud !!!

Ok, Scott your the only guy on this board I will forgive for not serenating us with pics after an outing... Good to hear that you got the rust of the pin....Hope it keeps snowing for your sake !!....Even the guys at tighlines said they missed you, LOL...Just make sure your around for Feb-March with pics or I will never get my off the couch !!

I spoke with the Raven rep today and that he told me that he only runs Raven Main Line on his float reels (and never ever told anyone to purchase a different line). You caught me ....Cause there is only one raven Rep in all of Ontario, and he's your best fishing pal (insert huge sarcastic smiley face here) . The guy who said that to me is a raven field tech /rep who is also a member of this board....But you new that already I am sure ..thanks for calling your Raven Rep buddy and looking like a total idiot asking him such a question...LOL Not only that, but one of his customers landed a 54lbs Chinook in Alaska using Raven Main Line - and any line that can take that kind of abuse has to be awesome! ..... I can drag in a dead Chinny on Raven too I find it funny how things can get posted on the internet and be taken as the truth when it really boils down to a bunch of crap. I only speak the truth on this board, maybe with a little smack sometimes but , never do I lie..... Never did I say the Rep who told me is the know all of steelheading, but I took his word for it.... Take it as you will Nice CARP , thanks for coming out .....
