Yeah, it's nice to have these old pictures to look back on years later.

Back in the day my Dad used to tow my brother and I across Simcoe on a toboggan behind his truck on the way to the fishing grounds. Don't know for sure when this picture of my bro & me was taken but sometime in the 50's.

For sure Roger, lots of both.

I might have been smiling but it probably wasn't because I was enjoying the ice fishing hahaha

I remember that day Roger, I think it was the 1st OFC G2G I ever attended. Been a lot of water under the proverbial bridge since then.

Yet under your avatar picture it says Administrator twice and if you click on the button right at your picture it says your a Moderator, so I'm sure that's where the confusion came from.

Some nice fish there Clive and good to have you back, it's been a while.

My Mom was born in Killaloe nearly 100 years ago and all her family stayed there until the last one passed away a few years back. Beautiful area where I've spent a lot of time over the years. nlpaintballer above mentioned Wilno which is right between Barry's Bay and Killaloe and if you like Polish food some of the best you'll find anywhere is the Wilno Tavern. Couple times a year my wife and I drive 100 miles to to eat there and have never been disappointed.

All the best from myself & Diane and let's hope things start to turn around in the New Year

I've never been afraid of heights but that's a whole nuther ball game right there LOL Good on you guys for having the guts to pull that off.

Only a fool thinks it takes a big fancy boat to land big fancy fish LOL

Beauty Roger, really nice. I'm the same as you though, I never measured the girth of a fish.

And sadly we hear about it every year.

Be careful on that new ice guys, a young boy died after falling through thin ice in MIlton yesterday.

My wife's sister is in a long term care home in Whitby where only one resident is negative for the virus. My SIL isn't too bad yet but sadly many of the folks have died.

For 4 or 5 years a group of us from this board used to close out the musky season on the Upper Niagara at Fort Erie, mainly because that was the only place that wasn't frozen over. It was usually the weekend before the 15th and we'd all meet at the launch at sunrise, then fish till sunset and then head for dinner at a local restaurant. It was always a fun trip with a bunch of great guys and a perfect way to end the season.

Personally, I'll base my decision on the vaccines on the recommendations of scientists and medical experts rather than a few people on a fishing website that THINK their experts on everything.

I've had many many great days of musky fishing without catching a single fish. As "they" always say, catching a fish is just a bonus.

Off topic, sorry Dave, but a neighbors brother picked up his lawnmower with his fingers under each side of the housing last year while it was still running and removed the tips of all 8 fingers. Sometimes you just need to scratch your head.

Once you figure out the pattern and the proper baits for the time those 50 inchers will be jumping in your boat LOL

I'm always very respectful of power tools but one day I was running a board thru a table saw and I spose I got it twisted and the darned thing shot back and hit my hand, then bounce up and knocked a tool off the wall and then dented my furnace. The pain in my hand was excruciating and I was afraid to look down as I was sure I'd taken my hand off. I lucked out though and it was just a hard knock but I still think of that day every time I fire up the saw.

Beautiful birds and we're fortunate to have a few around here too, this fella is helping to remove a dead tree from my backyard.

Not a problem at all Dan, I just came across that video on Youtube and actually thought of your rig right away and hoped it may be interesting or useful to some on here.

We buy our groceries at Foodland in Lakefield and a couple years back while I was loading the bags into my truck my wife stopped at the cash machine in the store and withdrew $200. After we got home she realized she didn't have the cash with her. She called the store right away and told them how much money was missing and sure enough someone had found the money still in the slot on the machine and turned it in. My wife thought back and remembered while she was at the machine someone came by that she knew and they got yakkin and my wife forgot to pick up the loot. Person that found the money never even left their name so we had no idea who it was but my wife contacted the local small town newspaper and told them what happened and they wrote the story in the paper so hopefully the good samaritan read it and knows how much their honesty meant.

I was happy to see Roy posting again till I realized the post was 13 years old LOL
