  1. I'm thankful for all the input guys, cheers. I'd like a stick between 7'6 and 7'11. I just want a little more versatility out there when I run into slop mats, I don't want to lose anything because I'm not geared up properly. I've been checking out some deals online and the one on here ^^ looks pretty good too. Thanks again, let y'all know when I grab something.

  2. I was looking into picking up a flipping stick this year, but was turned off when I saw that the prices of the specialized rod was going for about $260. I looked at Shimano, GLoomis, Okuma, Daiwa etc. Is there a cheaper alternative that can still have durability for those slop mats when trying to find bass? I was hoping to keep the price in or around $100-150. All help is appreciated. Thanks.

  3. I fish little Marten once in a blue moon and it's a fantastic lake, the river at the bridge can be a great spot to hit some pickies at opener. Hit up some of the islands and use shiners. The locals I know up there only use live bait and have owned those lakes. Another suggestion is Wicksteed Lake. Just a little further up on Marten Lake Rd there's a launch. Huge pickeral and pike up there. Nice size smallies too. You're hitting up a haven! Good luck!

  4. Man, what a good time. I actually only brought one through the ice, but learned a lot about Mill Lake. First day was terrible as we only brought in one little pike. Some guys up from us picked up a few pickeral. Sunday I found a nice spot and picked up a pike, but missed two at the hole!!! Drove me nuts! An old timer up there said if we wanted to fish for lakers there was a nice deep pocket further across the lake from where we were, plus the whities bite too. We stuck it out with the old boy for Sunday where the pike were biting. Wish mine was worth taking a pic of, only a couple pounds. I'll be back for the soft water, but definitely going back with more knowledge for the next winter fish.

     

    Thanks again for input from all of you. Cheers

  5. Always up in my cottage area of Harcourt Park. Can't wait for trout opener on my lake. Heading to the French River for the first time too, really looking forward to it!

     

     

    Early May trout trip to Algonquin or Addington Highlands-north of Bon Echo

     

    Summer Camping Trip Lower French/GB Islands.

     

    Early August back lakes Port Loring/Pickerel River area

    I was in Algonquin at the wrong season for trout last year, but after hitting up the lakes I did, I'd suggest Hogan, Catfish and Cedar. Really beautiful, but tough portages. Rivers are amazing with otters and moose on the scene. Lakers will be biting in Hogan and Catfish for sure, Cedar has pickerel, muskie, whitefish, perch, bass (in the season of course), and Radiant right beside Cedar has specks, pickeral and whities too. I hope you have a great time and dress for the cool conditions on the lakes.

  6. Well then, have at 'er and let us know how you make out...

    Indeed I will HH. I go in with a positive attitude everytime I hit up a new lake, though I don't always leave with a whole lot. I hope I'll have a few pics to post. Either way, being on the water is fun when with good people. I suppose a few wobbleypops on the ice doesn't hurt either ;)

  7. I looked for that lake in the Parry Sound area and nothing turned up. The following link will tell you what FMZ it is in if you can find it on there.

    Thanks Ron, I called MNR this morning and got the scoop. Zone 15 which is sweet because Pickies are open until the 15th and Pike until the end of March. I'm getting excited now.

  8. Thanks, for the input guys, much appreciated. The thing that is bothering me now is that the MNR has no clear designation of a zone for Mill Lake. I've looked up and down the regulations for zones 14 and 15 and can't find it anywhere. I know picks and pike season are done for zone 14 but are open in 15 until the 15th of March. The problem is Mill is on the border of the zones. I suppose I'll have to call MNR tomorrow for the answer. Even if it's closed for pickies and pike I'm sure the Lakers and whitefish are biting a plenty. Thanks again.

  9. First, hello to everyone. Looking for some help. If anyone has been on the ice on Mill Lake near Parry Sound this year, I'm looking for some advice. I'm heading up there for the second weekend of March and staying near the Seguin at a buddy's cottage. He's not much of a fisherman and doesn't know much about hotspots. I'm curious if there is anywhere near there for pickies, lakers, and pike? Are there any white fish biting as well? I'm going two feet and a heartbeat so I probably won't be looking to hike too far though a couple k's won't bother me too much. Any and all help is appreciated.
