Really nice, Sam! I don't know about our furry friends but you certainly have the bass and walleye dialed in. Congrats to you.

The dates were posted at the beginning of the thread. We'll never all be in agreement. That's the way it works and some peoples' feelings will be hurt because you're not using THEIR dates. Have you ever registered for a fishing tourney where they've asked you which dates would be the most convenient for you? Lakair G2G dates are set and people either can make it or they can't. Most people get there somehow. We've been doing this long enough to know. On the other hand.....you can try to please everyone and this thread will last and last and last. Walleye season closes sometimes though so.... From personal experience, the people who will have crusaded for a specific date will in all likelihood have something important come up that weekend and will not show up.

How about the 25th, 26th and 27th?

How can you do that with your camera? Are you a contortionist?

OK, Phil has the dates. Lock'em in.

So? Establish a date already Joe. If you ask people what they'd like you'll never get a consensus. Just grab the bull by the b.. uhh horns.

I always enjoy and look forward to your reports, Dan. This one is no exception. Such brilliant colours in your pics too. I'm sure lots of guys would trade any of their multi fish weekends for just one of those beauty specs. Thanks.

Beauty report, Rob! That star shot is great. Glad you all had a good time. It'd be interesting to see what an underwater cam could pick up down there. Maybe the water is a little too stained for that?

Glad you guys had a good time. That bug looks like a cross 'tween a mosquito and a TTC streetcar eh? Fantastic pictures and some dang good company too! And dat right der is the proper use for a white bucket. I think Kevin was sitting in the same spot, wearing the same clothes the last time I saw him. Thanks for the great report, Joey. A really nice start to my day.

They'll be ok, they have their boater's competency card. They must know the rules.

A really good read, TJ. I gotta start pickling my pickerel.

Congrats to you both. A great day of fishing there for sure.

I was on another site earlier and this dude posted a pic of Chessy. The caption read "I was out on the river today and this dude filmed me for about 4 hours. Must be some kind of nut. Does anyone here know him?"

Great, so you're back on track. Now get out fishing. Don't worry though, the grass and weeds will keep growing and in a week or two you can cut it again. All's well that ends well.

It's going to be a long winter.

Congrats to you both! Now I know where your daughter got that wonderful smile. The next 40-50 will just fly by, Jacques. Enjoy every day.

That moose is just gunna hit the next apple orchard and go on another binge. I wonder how many people would have saved the tree and cut the mooses legs off? I know that up north here someone would have had meat in the freezer and apples in the tree again next year. *insert icon of choice here*

Say what? Please say that you're not saying that GB is a river.

Really looking forward to this report now! No stress eh?

There are no hooks! Did the fish choke on it?

Yeah, good stuff, it was posted a few weeks ago but I can watch it over and over again.

Hey Lew, that white spinnerbait looks like one of Mr. Cameron's creations.

Dana, you really need a confidence booster. Here's what you're gunna do. Don't go spending money on more gear that you're not sure about. Keep what you have now, the braid will be fine. You'll need to find yourself a small quiet lake where you KNOW there are specks. Get yourself some worms, they don't have to be big. If you don't already have spoons, find yourself a few cheap spoons in various colours in the 2.5" to 4" range. You'll need a few snap swivels and some hooks in the 2-8 size range. Remove the treble from your spoons and attach a spoon using a snap swivel directly to your braid. Attach an 18" length of mono to the spoon and then a single hook at the end. Bait that with a piece of worm. I find it better to attach the spoon to the mainline backwards, fat end closest to the reel. Get out there and troll slowly. You can use a motor or paddle but the motor will give you more time to concentrate on your presentation. Keep a fair amount of line out...100' plus. You'll catch them that way and once you do, then you can start experimenting. Good luck and let's hear how you do.

I didn't think they'd be that far south.

The problem is that a lure I have no confidence in will rarely be at the end of my line.
