Would have been good to see you again Bruce, it's been awhile. Surprised to hear the Green Acre tourney is still on as I thought they did away with it quite a few years back. My bud and I fished it 7 or 8 years ago and had a great day. Funny thing was though, we never got a decent fish all day in the tourney, but after it was over and we were running back to the boat ramp at the north end of the lake, we decided to stop in a bay and fish awhile longer and I boated 3 nice ones in less than an hour. I think the musky gods were messing around with me that day

I just put the TV on a few minutes ago and their reporting yet another mass murder in the States. It's evidently in some sort of naval installation in D.C. and they say there's 12 people confirmed dead plus a bunch of others injured. Unbelievable how this sort of thing keeps happening down there.

Yeah, a fight like that with a big bait in her mouth could sure do some damage to her teeth I'd imagine.

More great pictures Matt, looks like that big ole girl has lost a few teeth over the years.

You guys got some nice fish there and your right about the colours on the bass, unbelievably dark. I live just 3 miles down the road from where you stayed and even though that lodge is still for sale, the restaurant is open and the food is fantastic. If you stay in the cabins again you should head over for supper. We go there quite often, infact we were there last night, and have never been disappointed yet.

That's great Terry, been awhile since you posted one of those

Atta boy Luc, very nice fish indeed !!

41 and 46 for my kids, sure does make a fella feel old(er) some days

That's the part I find strange actually, the fact that I HAVEN'T seen a snake around here all summer when they could be having a feast with all these frogs. I've got some toads around here as well but their all in the vegetable garden...guess they must like tomatoes

The last couple weeks I've seen more frogs than I have in years. I just finished cutting all my grass and must have seen 40 of them jumping outta the way. I've talked to other guys on the road and everyone is seeing the same thing this year. I guess it's a good thing as I remember reading a couple years ago where frogs were on the decline all over the world and nobody seemed to know why. Anybody else seeing a HUGE increase in them ??

Nice little piece of Heaven you've got up there Simon and a great spot to raise the family...and the pooch !!

Beautiful piece of property !!

I've been using Shimano gear for many years and have always found it to be excellent. I've had to have a few items repaired at the P'Boro office and have always been very pleased with their service. Couple years back I had a Calcutta that stopped working and dropped it off to them and picked it up the next day. It was made like new again and there was no charge. It wasn't under warranty, but was still a freebee. Sad to hear these stories now of how the service is no longer what it used to be.

Sorry to hear things aren't going as hoped Wayne. Best of luck to Jen with her further treatments.

Ain't that the truth

If this was the 3 Mile Lake you were referring to, I could have told you about a rather large amount of fishing tackle laying on the bottom of the lake. Items include several fish'n poles complete with reels, 3 metal tackle boxes, a very large selection of lures, plus assorted other items related to fishing and boating. I know this because 40 years ago my brother stood up to pee over the side of the boat, and in the process he flipped the boat throwing me, our father and himself into the rather cold and deep water of 3 mile lake. It's actually a much funnier story when told around a campfire while consuming copious amounts of beer.

I was in a small Kawartha trailer park for many years and with only 20 trailers, we were all friends and never had a problem with stealing. There were some cabins too and we never had a problem with them either, until one year when 4 young guys rented a cabin for the entire summer. None of these guys worked but they always had money for smokes and booze and spent their days running around in a bass boat with a 200 HP motor. Not long after they moved in, guys started losing gas from their boats while tied at the docks, but the ones with no jobs always had plenty. My son decided to set a trap and put an old gas tank in his boat with only a gallon of gas, then topped it off with three 750 ML bottles of COKE then set the can in the boat in plane view. Jim checked the can the next day and most of it was gone. Couple days later I happened to be sitting down at the beach and saw these guys take off in the boat, but after only going about 1/4 mile the motor started to cough and sputter, then quit. Someone eventually towed them back in and they started working on the motor. They couldn't restart it so they cranked it up onto a trailer and hauled it outta the park. We never saw them again and they never returned to the park, so we all just assumed they learned a lesson and realised they had stolen from the wrong people. Wonder what it cost to repair that big ole 200 Merc

Don't recall seeing Phil around here in quite awhile.

That stinks Cliff, not many things I hate more than a thief.

And your certainly entitled to that Johnny

....according to Environment Canada Keep your heads up guys, it could get nasty down your way.

I PMed you my home # Bruce, my cell is only on when I'm in the truck.

I've got several of these electrical doo-dads in the garage to keep critters out and so far I've never had even so much as a mouse....touch wood.

Amazing how many world record muskies are lost boatside before any pictures are taken Sounds like you boys had another great trip as always Joe
