A group of us were at a cottage on the West Arm of Nippissing last August during the meteor shower and it was great sitting outside in near total darkness watching it. Fantastic show of Mother Nature at her finest. We're heading back up there again this Saturday but may not see it this year because of the date and also the clouds and rain their predicting. Definetely worth watching if anyone has the chance !!

Theres another vote. Rumour has it that if Mackenzie wins, everyone who votes get a custom made fish'n pole from dear old dad Well, maybe I made that part up

Great account of your fishing adventure and excellent pictures too. Scary stuff with your finger and good to hear it's healing up OK. I got cut by a musky tooth one time but waited about 9 hours before going to the hospital. It required 8 stitches to close and the doctor told me that lake water is one of the worst things for a cut and NEVER wait that long to get it treated.

Always nice when things work out the way their sposed to !!

OK, thanks Matt

What's the game plan Matt ?? Are you planning on us all meeting at the hotel in Montreal Friday night, then fishing Saturday & Sunday and heading for home on the Monday ?? My concern is it being a long weekend with heavy holiday traffic on Friday evening and the distances we'll have to travel from Burlington and Peterboro area.

Excellent job, nice to see someone take pride in their work !!

Just sitting here looking out the window when a bolt of lightening flashed across Clear Lake followed by what may have been the loudest BANG I've ever heard. The pooch took off and may still running

There's another one, Mackenzie's still leading the pack.

Sounds good Matt, put me down too. Squid will be fishing with me in my boat. Lemme know the where & the when once you put it all together please.

My fishing days all seem soooo boring compared to some of the days you guys seem to have. Nobody ever yells at me, I never have to yell back at THEM, nobody throws stones at me or threatens to call the cops, no one drives their boat at me to scare me away, or even dives in the water and swims around me to scare the fish away I just go out on the lake, maybe catch a fish or 2 if I'm lucky, and then go home again Maybe I need to take up dock fishing to add some excitement to my days on the water

That's too bad Jer, but as you said above, perhaps they don't carry as big an inventory now as they did in the old place.

Thanks for putting that all together Terry, sounds like a fun trip.

That's definetely surprising if it's true.

Sharp looking car and it sounds like you really deserve it too.

I drove down to Toronto and back today Joey and went thru alot of very heavy rain, specially up this way. Infact going across the Chemong Causeway about 11:00 I could hardly see across the lake. Saw a couple guys motoring in to the boat ramp and they looked like a pair of drowned ducks, but then again, they probably caught more fish today than I did

Good to hear your trip went so well Dan and best of luck to your brother. Memquisit is a nice place, we spent a week there last summer and are heading back up next Saturday again. Don't feel too bad about the poorer than normal fishing up there this year, it's happening to most foklks because of the lower water levels and late start to the weeds. Hopefully things will be better next year. Surprised to see you were able to get thru the cut as that's a tight squeeze even when the water is at normal levels Thanks for the great report !!

But how do you train the fox to pee on the cotton ball ??

I stored my last boat inside a barn for 9 winters and a bowl of mothballs on the floor kept it completely critter free. I know another fella that stored his covered boat outside a couple years back and the interior was completely destroyed by racoons.....carpets, seats, upholstery and wooden floor.

Their great guys to deal with Jer and if they've got one in stock you'll be on your way in a couple minutes.

Yeah, ain't that the truth. He always makes me think of someone who knows absolutely nuthin about bush survival and just barely lives long enough to be rescued. I think any kid off the street could do as well

Very nice essay, and I'm in too.

You'll also miss the downtown core of the city taking the route you gave. It's never fun driving thru Toronto but as the others have said, you'll be OK on a Saturday morning.

If I speak to someone and they don't reply I just go on about my business and don't give it a 2nd thought. Life's too much fun to worry about trivial matters. If they ignored you Cliff, just chalk it up to their loss.

I use a Tekota 600LC Pete and it's a great reel for trolling big baits. The line counter is also good to have so you know exactly where your bait is. Here's a review of it. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewshimanotekota600lc.html
