  1. NICE!! I've wanted to fish the Larry for a while. It's on my bucket list.
  2. We had a '57 Giesler French River with a 35hp Johnson at our campground this weekend in Honey Harbour. It was in mint condition and had been restored by the owner 2 years ago. Nice lines and according to the owner, it is a dream to cruise in. The fellow's from New York State and was surprised to learn that your family is still building boats. I wasn't able to get a pic before he left. There is a group of 10 fathers and sons that have been coming up to Honey Harbour for over 50 years. Anyways, neat boat and I thought I'd share it with you all.
  3. Nice! You're back on the water and you slimed her first time out! There is definitely a good bunch of folks here. Great little rig for the Kawarthas! Enjoy it!
  4. NICE!!!! And a scar to prove it to boot!!
  5. Oh yeah, the fishing, forgot about that. On Sunday, we had an East wind come in and it quieted things down quite a bit. I got a little dink that was about 20 inches. Yesterday, I was fishing in another tourney out of Green Acres Campground with a bunch of Americans and I had a nice 40 inch class fish hit at boatside, did a jump right out of the water and off he went and that was it for me. 1 for 2. We had a great time, lots of food, drink and merriment. Good to get together with friends.
  6. We went bait fishing today and just jigged on the top end of Big Island. Tomorrow is musky day. As much as I wanted to wash a few lures, I succumbed to peer pressure and jigged for walleye, caught a few but jeez are they ever small.one of our guys tied into a high 40's class fish while pulling a worm harness, the fish broke off boatside. He was devastated, he's a big musky guy from Pittsburgh and didn't want the fish to get away with a mouth full of hooks. Lew, I think I saw you cruising the back end of Big Island in the early afternoon. You were going pretty good. Trolling motor is mounted and works like a charm. Thanks Dax! Defnitely prefer the powerdrive over the all terrain.
  7. Nice! Good hunting! I'm hoping to go in 2 years out to western Manitoba with the f in law and his buddies.
  8. The lamb was awesome and the beer ice cold but this kid is turning in soon. Gotta mount the trolling motor and get the batteries in place early in the morning.
  9. Rizzo, I'd be happy to catch something for the dinner table or to USE AS BAIT for the big fish with teeth. I like the Hellhound cuz I've learned how to work it, I'm waiting to get out with Lew so I can learn the art of the Suick.

  11. Lew, I'm staying at my buddy's trailer at Pigeon Hollow. We will be around the top of the lake. You still have the same cell #?? Prolly not though. Anyways, I will keep an eye out for ya. I'm in my beige Larson fishn ski.
  12. Tomorrow morning I'm off to HH to pull my boat out and head over to Bobcaygeon for our annual Muskie tourney/pig roast/lamb roast. I haven't had a chance to wash lures much this summer so I'm looking forward to a hardcore muskie weekend. Lures for the weekend include a couple bucktails, cowgirl or 2, hellhound and pulling a believer. Let's see if I can tie into 1 or 2. Last year while fun was a skunkfest along with boat damage so this year can only be better.
  13. Ron, keep on trucking bud!! This is total utter Bull!!!! You know you are in the right with regards to this and if another bylaw officer busts your chops, just let him know that you will be seeing him too in court and that you will be filing a complaint with the Cobourg Police Department for harassment. This is nonsense and has me PO'd now to no end.
  14. Good on you Nick for taking out some rookies. I think you've got them hooked now on fishing. It's a wonderful thing to do for a couple. My wife loves to get out and hunt lunkers with me but it doesn't happen too often so every time we do get to go out, we make the most of it.
  15. Deeeelish!!! Looks like a good feed of perch!! You spent a wonderful weekend with your little guy and those moments are priceless. Good for you!!!
  16. For the love of God, wear a PFD!!! Give yourself a fighting chance!! I feel for his family and friends.
  17. Now, was it another financial institution that you opened the second account with?? Why?? Also, a call to CRA is in order, you will find the tax man to be understanding sometimes. Your penalty would be 1% of $2000 for 9 months or $180. Do the math, it works out whether you multiply 1% x $2000 x 9 months = $180. Conversely, 18 000 x 1% = $180. You may be able to get yourself out of this. This is a lesson to all, know what you are doing with your personal finances, don't expect 5 different people whether it's your personal banker or financial advisor to know what you are doing when they don't have all the info at hand. Also, the bank teller is there to do basic stuff, have an advisor for your investments who pays attention to both the big and the small stuff. I have many clients who have told me horror stories about what their bank teller had them invest in during the Tech Bubble. They were lucky to escape with 10-15 cents on the dollar.
  18. LOTW fishing for whatever happens to strike my fancy on any given day. Whether it be musky, pike, walleye, lakers, smallies or bucketmouths and finally crappie. I'll second Lew on his comment that you don't have to leave our Province.
  19. Good to hear that Jen is doing great!!! As for the young lad you mentioned, I hope he keeps on fighting.
  20. Great report. Give up your day job to be a photographer. You have a good eye for framing your shots.
  21. I love taking kids fishing!!! The giggles and squeals of delight when they land a fish are worth the baiting of hooks and performing surgery on sunfish that deep hook themselves.
  22. Put a smile on my face this morning!!
  23. I'm off to Pigeon next week for our annual muskie tourney. Hopefully it will be fun with no mishaps. Cowgirls in 10-20ft was my thinking with a bit of trolling in deeper spots.
  24. Go in and make a report if the damage is more than a grand between all vehicles involved which doesn't take too much. Your insurance co is going to want the report so ave her go into the local collision reporting center to gitter done.
  25. Just another 'tax' grab!! What exactly is the town doing to promote conservation of the resource??? Is the money going into a specific fund or into the general revenue account (where it will definitely get wasted). I'd take my chances and if I were to be cited by a bylaw officer, I would let him know politely that if even convicted by a court of law, I would appeal to the Provincial Supreme Court. As for the mayor (Boss Hogg) mentioned above about having things changed for his benefit, I'd see to it that he was crucified in the court of public opinion.
