Well for those of you who may not know over the last two years I have not been contributing to the site as much, I still have gotten out for a few fishing trips here and there but nowhere near the volume as I did in summer of 2015 and before. I had been busy with my other passion which is running. Since my last actual fishing trip post. I have ran 3 full marathons which is 42.2 km each and 18 other road races.

However since my last race I decided to finally get back out fishing while I rest up and get ready for the next round. So with that I'm hoping to be more active on the site again and on the waters this year. I just hope I have better luck then how musky opener went where I got skunked. I was so out of practice I couldn't even catch the panfish at shore . I can say one thing about my fishing in the last two years. 1) I can count on one hand how many times I actually got out fishing and 2) I can count on one finger how many fish I've caught in that time

With that I'm looking forward to getting back to it and hoping there will be some of the " colorful" stories that I remember having a chuckle over here and there in the past.

well let me be the first to welcome you aboard, great looking fish. I wish I was as successful for my opener trip but kudos to you. looking forward to seeing more posts from future outings

you can't remember a week-end without fishing...I can't remember the last time I did fish. Probably ice fishing sometime in February

That isn't too bad, I cant remember the last time I got out. I think it was sometime last May or June, and the last time I caught a fish was Family Day weekend 2016

Nice. Much as this weather sucks it makes me feel better being stuck on the couch with an Ice pack strapped to my knee. Still hoping the long weekend gets us some sunshine.

My one knee got this treatment yesterday also but that was after running the Mississauga Marathon...which is another reason I can't remember when I fished last.

Yesterday was a great day for a run however running by Lake Ontario I couldn't believe how high it actually was, I'm just glad the paths beside the lake weren't washed out.

Great pictures

I went to the game against Montreal last sunday, got to see Mathews first preseason game. Looking forward to seeing what the kids can do this year.

With no baseball til Friday, hockey will do for tomorrow night.

No sure if anyone has said this, but I drove by Glen Edin/ Kelso C.A yesterday and there was no ice left on the ice there

I'd suggest Oakley, Pete suggested them to me, even let me try one of his pairs on a trip. I got myself a pair back in November at the outlet and use them for both fishing and while out on runs. They are by far the best ones I've owned and they come with a warranty

Welcome aboard you wont be disappointed here. You just have to watch out for certain members like the one above my post .

but honestly he (Brian has some of my favorite posts on the site

Yup I always keep my on til April, just in case we have what happened over the last 24 hours happen.

Hey Brian B, I would love to see your take on something like this

yup I got it watching the walking dead last night, I'm with bell fibe, a window popped up with the alert but i had the option to escape out of it once all the information scrolled across the screen

cool thanks for sharing, ill have to PVR it because won't be in the house at that time

:clapping:

I just remembered about the auction, and was looking in to see if my bid held up,

It did not but I'm happier about the money raised

Well done Shloim and bc23, I've been out for both species before with Pete you guys will have a blast

What ever the final bid is thank you all for the donation to Tyler I am sure just as in the past it will all go to helping him develop both mentally and physically.

 

 

Art

Well said Art, and I agree all the money raised is for a great cause

Does anyone remember what the winning bid was last year?

I believe the winning bid for Musky was $225, So that is why I'm shocked my $200 bid is still leading. If i remember right the winning bids both came in the final minutes of the auction

I'm shocked that my bid for musky is still in the lead only a few hours left, but as Pete said I wonder if there will be any last minute snipes like last year

I cant believe Im still in the lead! Awesome! I love going fishing on someone else's boat especially with their gear. Im more used to my friends messing up my boat and stuff...

I'm shocked I'm still in the lead for Musky

ok $200 for Musky

$100 for cats. (since we are clearly starting from 0 again) Hahahahahha.

Didn't stop me from keeping my bid the same

ok $200 for Musky

i thought everyone knew that trick, had to do it myself this morning to get the heater going

 

 

Really, then why didnt you tell me when you heard me cursing out loud,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,LOL

I was laughing too hard to get up

and was too warm to get out of the hut to tell you

 

lol

I can see this exact same thing happening with Jeremy84 and I

Haha! He got you there Brian. :P

:blahblah1: :blahblah1:

To be fair his is bigger, and you are all sick I'm referring to his beard being longer.

$200

$150.00

Not fishing today but the weather didn't stop me from my 10.8 km run this morning

I just sent you a PM with a picture and a map.

 

And for the record, I would have passed by this post, had you not been my life insurance agent!

 

There are NO fish in 6-mile

I have camped at the park and fished the lake while camping there, I've only ever fished soft water there but my advise for six mile is :wallbash:
