Fish Farmer

Can't say what my wife said. This is a family site.

TJ your getting old, that's what my wife says to me, I'm getting grumpy,there only kids, they'll learn. We just got a dusting in Hamilton and their in a big panic. I hate to see what would happen if we get what you guys get up north .

Thanks guys, I cleaned my cache and forgot to log on . I'm having email problems, I can't seem to delete my emails. I've been trying everything. Darn PC's.

Rain "Shadow", Just something I see around Spiel's house that he works on for you.

Is it just me, but I see on every thread, "Information Agent". Is this some kind of spammer.

Sure thing Lloyd, we always stay at Picton Harbor Inn. I know a few old boys would like to pick your brain over a few refreshments Thanks Lloyd

"Loomis" sounds good to me, doesn't it you

I swear that fish was following my lure the other day but he missed it Way to go guys.

Thanks Lloyd, I tried some of your tips and it payed off. Went with the braid and fluorocarbon. Glad to help out Alex, I know I would like some info on yes or no. I didn't think we were going to get out the last day, it was a struggle You can call me anything but old I had something in the fridge for you but someone didn't show.

Thanks guys. Just thought I'd post this in case someone was thinking of going down. Shame to waste your gas and time.

First day got to ramp at the ferry and lots of shove ice, someone was there and gave up but we give it a shot and got out but things didn't go smooth. First we broke the ice, backed in then couldn't get the boat off the trailer , kept backing up and nothing,still stuck , rocking back and forth and looked down the boat was frozen to the trailer,trailer and boat floating . Started motor to try and brake boat from trailer, the steering was froze , OH OH. Back up the ramp. went inside the washroom at the ferry to get hot water to pour on steering cable . Finely freed up then we tried rocking the boat on the trailer to brake free and crack, were going fishin after 1 hour . We fished the cement plant to Thompson's Pt. dodging floating ice with the boards , got to Thompson's and it was froze over . We caught 2 fish for the day so we packed it in at dark . Back to the motel for some cold beer, makes me shiver to think . Next day the whole bay was froze over right to the Ferry launch. Ferry launch was froze solid . So we went to McFarland's ramp and it was froze in . Now what , off to Prinyers, looked like it was a go but lots of shove ice, thick 6" chunks, but we got in. We fished the Reach to the Bat Cave. I caught one just after we set up. then nothing for awhile then we got into a few out deep. Then my buddy's board pull back big time he had a big fish 32" man was he happy, we did the Walleye dance in the boat with the high fives, his PB. My other buddy caught a few and lost a couple. Fished till dark then back to the launch, Launch was froze We had to brake up the chunks to get back in, Finely after rocking and pushing we got to the ramp. My buddy backed the truck down and the trailer tires stayed on top of the ice then broke through, Smash, one taillight gone. We'll be talking about this trip for awhile. With all our problems we still had a great time I'm posting pictures form start to finish Ferry Launch We broke this out backing in slowly. Ice patches we fished around with the boards. Thompson's Pt. froze in. Next Day at McFarland's launch, froze across to the cement plant. We were trolling here the day before. Ferry braking ice Looking down the reach. Prinyers launch The planner boards were freezing up. When you brought your lure in the hooks froze to the lure body. And what we were there for. This is what the Walleye dance was for

Thanks Corvette. Spiel see you when I get back.

Few guys and myself are heading there fishing Wednesday & Thurs. Any OFC'ers fishing Quinte this week? Were just hoping the Glenora launch will be usable. I think the Picton Harbor is froze from reading Quinte site.

When I took my Turkey hunting course, the guy told us that Turkeys can hear you thinking.

Now thats good listening Brian

Gezzz what you guys smokin. Lock this thread. Give me some good old Canadian talent Stompin Tom

I had good luck with the small one at St. Williams for Perch. It's very light, OK for shallow water.

Maybe a rototiller hooked to your sled I can see one day some guy will invent something. I fish Long PT.Bay also and it's got to be the windiest place at times. I saw 2 guys pulling a hut with a 4 wheeler one day and the wind was plowing them back-wards across the bay to open water. The bay can be dangerous with thin soft spots because of it being so shallow with weeds in the ice. Plus watch for snow covered cracks. Ive been in a few times, you just don't see them. Good thread, I'll be watching for some ideas.

If all of the above doesn't work, just go fishin, catching something takes your mind off your cold. What's in that Cold FX, my kids tell me I should take it because I'm always getting colds this time of year. Could be the cold beer

I can see were this is going, lots of trucks, boats and resorts for sale. Economy going down the pipe. and they want us to take concessions and tax us to death, HMMMM smart people we have running the country. Lets give more money away Blood pressure going up again , got to go down and polish some lures for Quinte next week.

Congrats Dave. Your on my PVR. Hope to get you back For our Stelco awards night, all our members tell us we got to get that Dave guy back, he was fantastic.

Just killing the country. Soon we'll be sitting at home playing fishing games. Maybe that's their game plan for thinking GREEN.

I'm with Slowpoke. The man did a lot for our sport, I hope he enjoys his retirement. He wasn't scared to speak his mind. I did watch the show this morning and was shocked to hear him say this will be the last you see me on TV.

Bet you can't catch Muskies on it like my Spiel Ultra Light I'm waiting for my custom Drum Rod with rings

Great report Thanks for sharing. Why wait for next year, could be some good days left this year. I think my buds are chewing to go again next week, just have to add the longjons
