You'll enjoy your stay at Mashkinonje, it's a nice place and Regan & Goldie are great folks and alot of fun to hang out with. We were there in June and are heading back up again next year. Hiring a guide sounds expensive but 1/2 a day may at least get you pointed in the right direction and give you an idea of what you need to do and where to go. Muskies aren't nearly as plentiful in that area as many places around Ontario but when you get one you can almost always be sure it'll be a goodun. Submerged rocks can also be an issue so just be careful where your going and you'll have a great trip. That area is a gorgeous part of Ontario and definitely my favorite place. Here's a picture I took of Regan fishing in front of the lodge one evening And one of the local residents

I didn't make the rules, I just questioned why you said you'd feel uncomfortable judging him.

The man INTENTIONALLY killed an UNDERSIZED fish and that's against the law, why would you feel uncomfortable judging him ??

Came across this on another website, not my cup of tea but some may like the idea. http://www.bassfan.com/reviews_article.asp?id=210

I caught my 1st one in the early 70's and ate it also. Most folks did back then but I also had it mounted and still have it hanging in the garage so I still have the memory of the 1st one.

I joined up 12 years ago and it's been a fun ride ever since. TJ's the Captain and Roy steers the ship.

You can shoot someone in this country Dave and don't get severely punished, sure not much chance of it happening for littering.

If Lums Restaurant is still in Lake Placid it'd be worth your time to give it a try, we've eaten there before and the food is outstanding....although we haven't been there in awhile.

Detroit River at Windsor

I agree with you 100%

I don't really think the issue is with him killing a musky as much as it's him intentionally killing an under sized musky.

That's a popular spot for jigging.

Ya, he's the bad twin I know a guy here in the Kawarthas that thinks exactly like the doofis in the video. He told me one day that I should kill all the muskies I catch rather than release them because their eating all the pickerel. I asked him how he knew this and he said it's obvious because 30 years ago their were plenty of pickerel and now there's hardly any left. I said the 2 species have lived together for eon's so howcum the muskies all of a sudden just ate them all in the last 30 years and of course he had no answer. When I said perhaps the pickerel are maybe being over fished by humans he said that was just stupid. Tough to deal with some folks.

Shop vac to get most of the water out then let it air dry with a fan running ??

And sadly Brian, we're gonna be paying in alot more places if the garbage continues.

I'm not an ice fisherman, infact I don't like it at all, but a group of us went to Simcoe one time although I don't even remember where we were but we parked beside a large orange building along with all the other fishermen and it was one of the most disgusting sites I've ever seen. There was garbage thrown everywhere, coffee cups, donut bags, pop cans, beer bottles and just about any other crap you can think of. It didn't stop in the parking lot either cause the same garbage was scattered all around the ice huts. Why the owners of the orange building allowed the pigs to park there is beyond me, but if I had any control of things up that way I'd be blocking everyone I could.

I'm not a hunter Brian, so I have no idea what those areas are like, I'm talking about the boat ramps, causeways and parking areas used by fishermen.

Whether what cram says is the reason or not, I've been saying the same thing for years, if the filthy pigs that fish among us continue to throw their garbage everywhere but in the garbage can, we'll be seeing a whole lot more places charging us to use the areas. And I've said it on this board many times over the years.

Thunder, lightning, big wind and heavy rain at 8:00 but now it seems like it may be winding down. Best part is feeling the temps drop.

I'd rather see a bounty on all the drunks, dopers, texters and everyone else that's killing people with their cars. Not an hour ago I was driving across #36 approaching Buckhorn when some moron stopped her car right on the hiway to have a look at what was happening at the side of the road.

Free ??

Really sad to hear that sorta thing. I've often driven north to the Nippissing area and would leave here around 4:00 AM and it's just plain scary how many moose, deer & bear you see in the dark.

And THAT'S the exact reason I no longer fish muskies in the Kawarthas

I got cut by a musky tooth one morning that ripped a pretty decent hole in my thumb but my partner had driven 100 miles to fish that day so I decided to continue rather than seeing a doctor. I kept it taped up for the day and finally went to the hospital 8 hours later where they used 8 stitches to close the hole. Doctor told me I was crazy for leaving it that long as lake water is very dangerous in a cut and could have caused a LOT of problems. Other than that, good to hear you had such a great day Cliff.

Nope, we carved the images outta stone
