It doesn't taste like chicken Chris

Thanks Brian, she's coming along nicely. As for cooking, I'm actually pretty good in the kitchen myself it's just that we've been quite busy the last while but the Christmas feasts will begin again next year when everything is back to normal.

We always host a Christmas Party for friends, relatives & neighbors every year and my wife spends about 2 weeks prior baking every kind of goody imaginable. She makes up fancy gift boxes full of each & every cookie cake & tart and gives one everybody at the party. Of course I have to sample a few of each batch as they come out of the oven, just to be sure their good enough for our friends Tonight was to have been this years party but because of a recent surgery the party was cancelled and I hafta tell ya, I sure have missed the wonderful smells of baking goodies that normally fill our home this time of year. We'll still be having Dianes annual Trifal on Christmas Day and that darned near makes up for all the missed goodies.

I still tell her the same thing to this day Steve

I killed and ate the 1st musky I ever caught 40 odd years ago and had the skin mounted and still have the mount hanging in my garage after many many years. That's just the way things were done back in the day. I've never been one to kill things and I wish now I'd never killed that pretty 45 incher but what's done is done and there's nothing I can do about it now. I've caught & released about a bazillion muskies since then and have never intentionally killed another one, but if someone wants to keep them, it's perfectly legal as many have already said here.

Less than 2" over this way Joey and it looks like we may be done already.....works for me.

My Dad was home on leave from the Navy during the war in 1941 and him and some buds went to the Palais Royale and that's where him and my Mom met. Just a little bit of useless trivia for a Wednesday evening

I bought a new musky pole a couple years back and other than that I'll never use all the gear I've got now. No new purchases next year.

Too bad that headline wasn't from 1938

The muskies are there Shane and that's all I'm looking for.

I dropped off a TE awhile back as it just wasn't working properly. They made a couple adjustments and when I picked it up the next day there was no charge. Wonderful folks to deal with.

I've got WFN but never look at it.

I'm thinking 5:00 Pete

My wife had a bike she no longer wanted so I said I'll put it out on the front lawn with a FREE sign on it. The bike was in good shape but rather than haggling over a bit of money I thought maybe someone who couldn't afford a bike would appreciate it. After an hour or so a lady knocked on the door and asked if it was free and I said yes, that's why the sign says FREE She said she was interested but didn't like the fact that there was a bit of surface rust on one of the rims. I just closed the door in her face and went back in the house. A while later the bike was gone.

The smile does it every time

I've done well with Kijiji and no real problems. Best was listing an item at 8:00 AM on a Sunday morning for $800, getting a reply at 9:00 saying he was interested, then him arriving at 11:00 with cash for the full amount and he was gone. Fastest loot I ever made.

Very impressive year, but the best pic is the seal coming for a visit, that's hilarious !!

It was Pigeon Fisher that moved to PA Paul

I'd imagine with the tiger colors that would be one beautiful fish Tom.

The pike are moving into the region now and evidently are quite common in some of the lakes. Seems like from what I've read their moving from west to east. As I mentioned in another post yesterday I've been fishing these waters for 60 years and can say in all honesty that I have NEVER caught a pike in the Kawarthas. My fishing has always been the lakes east of Bobcaygeon so I have no experience at all west of there where the pike seem to be. Guess it's only a matter of time though till they move this way...sadly.

Don't know anything about Minnesota muskies Paul but I can say absolutely that muskies here in the Kawartha Lakes region of Ontario exceed 40 inches all the time and fish up to 50" are quite common. Pike have been moving into the region in recent years but I've been fishing muskies around here much longer than they've been here and can definitely guarantee the lack of pike has never held back the growth of muskies. Still an interesting article though, thanks for posting it.

Never tried a fly rod Steve but I can imagine it'd be fun.

I've been fishing the Kawarthas for 60 years Shane and I haven't missed anything. I just prefer Nipissing where I can fish all day and only see a handful of other boats and when I catch a musky I know it's gonna be a good one and I don't have to wade thru a bunch of 30 inchers to get her.

Other than 3 or 4 weeks chasing muskies up on Nipissing each summer, my fishing days are pretty well done Bill. I live right in the heart of the Kawarthas and never fished here once this year. Now if you want to head to Nip next year, we can do some serious fishing .
