  1. TED!!! My Brother from another Mother!!!!!

    Last year, before the the GTG, Ted connected with me regarding the trip. We had room for one in our cottage, and invited Ted... none of us in our cottage had ever met Ted before!

    He showed up mid after on the Friday, quick introductions and immediately put a lovely pork roast in the oven, just so we could have something "to nibble on" during our stay!

    Needless to say we hit it off immediately and after sharing a few pops, we found out that we have many similar life experiences!

    He's like the brother I didn't know I had!

    Lookin forward to seeing yah again Ted! Hopefully this year we'll spank those Pickereyes!

    ted's a great guy... took me and my banana filled tackle bag both days last year.. i'm in his debt..

     

    any way to catch the lesner / couture fight up there?

  2. A pardon is only good in Canada.

    US Customs still keeps records of any convictions regardless of a Canadian Pardon.

     

    As previously mentioned, check with US Customs prior to your trip. If the crime was minor they will probably make you sign some paperwork before you enter the US.

     

    Good luck.

     

     

    you can travel to the states if you've been pardoned..

  3. dont take your best fishing gear unless you can keep it with you at all times..

    svukavics ,rowingsunny and i went down last year and they both had their rods go missing..

     

    definately get in touch with Crazyhook, he gave me a plethora of info..

     

    definately take extra cheap tackle with you.. they have very little down there and are eager to bargain with you.. if you can, take a bunch of rod guides.. they are like gold to the fishermen down there..

    have a look at the entire site for some excellent information

    your basketball coach should know how to properly do them as well. your school has a football program does it not?

     

    cleans & deadlifts are prolly the 2 best lifts goin.. just make sure you get someone to show you and watch you in person.. two very easy lifts to seriously hurt yourself on..

  5. LET'S GO BILLS! BUH BUH BUH BUH BUH BUH BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    WGR listeners will get this...lol

     

    thanks, that song will be going through my head for the rest of the day..

     

    i'm not saying nothing yet to 'jinx' them.. for now i'll just sit back and enjoy finally seeing them win on a regular basis again..

  6. Hey all

     

    Hit Chemong yesterday (Sunday) after stopping at Scugog and seeing the water was nothing but mud. Spent 9 1/2 hours on the water looking for skis but didn't even get a hit. Tried everywhere from 4 to 16 fow, mostly trolling from 4 to 2 mph. The water temp. was about 64 and the visibility was decent, a little stirred up but not horrible. Does anyone know where the fish went? We have had success in the summer but whenit comes to fall I usually end up with very little action. Don't know if the fish are just moody or if we are targetting the wrong areas.

    we had a good morning for bass on sunday at Scugog.. the water at the launch looked pretty muddy, but once we got out on the lake it was fine.. prolly my best day out there this fall..

  7. thanks guys

     

    To bad about the motor though... at least you got another one.

     

    ya, now i gotta find time to put it to use..

     

    Just how is it my fault you play rugby and don't have the common sense to skip a scrum the first nice fishing day of the year? :).

     

    lol.. no doubt, if i had nothing planned, i wouldn't have got hurt :)

  8. Well after a brutal start to the fishing season, ruptured distal bicep tendon at the end of April (i still somehow blame you TBayBoy).. aside from a charter, once out with svukavics and a weekend up at rowing sunny’s cottage, fishing has been non-existent..

     

    i've finally been able to get the boat in the water for some fishing, sorta.. spent a week up at Elephant Lake.. first day my motor was back to working flawlessly, after cleaning the carb... second day it left the wife and i stranded.. it wouldn’t turn over for the life of me, blistered my hands pull starting the damn thing. finally flagged down a guy fishing who generously towed us back to our docks.. had a mechanic up there take a look at it, told me it didn’t look good and to have someone local (Toronto) take a look after our vacation.. Sal at Discount Marine confirmed the other mechanics suspicion, and what i was burying in the back of my mind: motor is dead / not worth fixing.. the good news is that my wife didn't like the thought of being stranded ever again and she pretty much 'forced' me into buying a new motor...

     

    so this past Monday i got to start the break-in on my new motor. i headed up to the bog with a buddy from work, member/lurker: wuman..

     

    i'm sceptical of the bog as i've never actually caught anything there aside from a couple isolated rock bass..

     

    we get to the launch and i don’t have my long bow line with me, just a 10' length of rope.. before backing up i yell out to wuman "hey!, when i start backing down, make sure you grab that line!".. i start backing down the launch and i notice the rope floating in the water, i turn around and wuman's standing there with his hands in his pockets waiting for an invitation to grab it.. hit the breaks. "you gonna grab that rope or what??". he kicks off his shoes and slides down the ramp, luckily he grabs the rope, which prevented him from falling completely in.. i laughed, onlookers laughed, wuman didn’t think it was that funny.. he had his phone and wallet in his pockets which got completely submerged.. sorry buddy, i'm still laughing about it..

     

     

    when we get to our first spot, he decides that fishing in his undies would be best/quickest way to get his shorts dried out.. after about an hour he gets into a fish.. note he wouldn’t sign the release forms for the unaltered shot of his designer underwear image to appear here..

    about an hour and a half goes by and i'm getting the feeling that i'll be wrestling with a skunk for the day as i'm having a hard time hooking up with even the small rockies that were pestering my lizard.. finally get a decent little tap, set the hook, and i'm on the board:

    nailed a couple wgsf that didn’t get a picture and a couple more small bass over the coarse of the next hour:

    it was a slow day, but good to be out on the water, and it gives me a tiny bit more confidence on scugog..

     

    bait of choice for the day was white lizards.. i tried a bunch of colors of lizards and senkos with no luck..
