Best of luck to you PH. I've known quite a few folks who've had the same operation and every one came out with great results.

I haven't confirmed my campsite yet Roger, but I'll definetly be there as always.

Good to see you and your Pop enjoying this weather Corey, and getting a bunch of decent fish to boot.

jeez, if everybody keeps goin in my tackle box, I'LL soon be lookin for a spot to buy Suicks

Thanks Steelcat, sounds like a great way to spend a day !!

Wow, Uncle B, that's some place your Grandparents have !!!!!!! Good to have you home Uncle B.

Very very nice !!

I'm afraid that won't be on any order forms for awhile yet Brian

This is only my 2nd time dealing with Cabelas, but they certainly make it easy to deal with them.

Rick, is Nip gonna be a seperate card by itself, or will it be included on the Eastern Great Lakes chip and did you get a price on it ??

I phoned Cabelas this past Friday and ordered a GPS / Sonar combo and was told it would arrive in 7 business days, so figuring the weekend and then the New Years holidays, I wasn't expecting it till sometime early next week, but darned if it didn't arrive this morning. Kinda nice when you receive even better service than your expecting Only problem is my boat is hibernating in a barn 100 miles from here and I won't get a chance to install and use my new toy for another 4 months

Toronto set a new January 1st temperature record yesterday of 9.2 C Crazy stuff !!

The large mariboo's are incredible musky lures that catch alot of fish and if tied correctly, can also take alot of punishment before needing to be retired. I've been using them for a few years now and have always got at least one rod rigged up with a boo and ready to go at all times. I always buy mine rather than make them so I can't help you, but musky-man, brick n block & Robin from this board all make excellent musky boo baits and could probably tell you where to purchase the material......perhaps luremaking.com ?? The ones I find best are about the size of a cantalope when dry. Not sure how familiar you are with these baits, but they are incredibly bouyant so you'll need to experiment abit with the weights to get them to work properly. I've got a couple that are totally weightless, and once they get saturated, they run just under the surface and are excellent baits for bulging over top of the high cabbage, specially with twin blades. I find they work best when run a couple feet above the weed tops or rocks, so, depending on the height of the weeds, it's nice to have a variety of weights. I even clip bell weights onto some to get them down deeper when neccesary. I've also always found yellow with brass blades to be the best producer but that's just a personal opinion. I've probably got at least twice as many now since this picture was taken and will be requiring a much large box next season. Good luck with them and I'd luv to see the photos of your finished project.

Actually nelly, he only has to outrun the gazelle beside him

Good to see your able to get on the water and try out your new toys Terry. It feels more like April than January lately.

Great stuff MB, and thanks !!

Sounds to me like 2007 is gonna be a pretty nice year for you Rick. Happy New Year, all the best, and thanks for everything

HUH ??????

Good to see all the line bumps finally turned into the real thing Steve. Enjoy your dinner

Thanks Dax, it looks like you had a fun season. We never did hook up this year, but we'll see if we can get it together next year

Happy New Year to you and yours too TJ and thanks for another fun year around here

Thanks Jack and Happy New Years and all the best to you & Mrs. Nanook too !!

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who actually does get to fish as much as I want, and I spend an incredible amount of days on the water over the course of a musky season. I don't usually set goals, then I'm never disappointed if I don't reach them, but rather just hit the water every day and try to have a good time, and if the fish gods smile on me, well then, it was a good day. Two years ago I set a goal to help my daughter get her 1st musky, which she did, but setting that goal was an exception for me. I've been very fortunate in the fact that I've shared my boat with more than 50 different OFNers over the last few years on musky trips and have made alot of good friends around here, and every year I hope to add a few more to the list. Jamie, I guess the only real goal I've set for next year is to spend a couple days chasing those Ottawa River muskies with you like we've talked about so many times. I'll bring the Suicks and you supply the Dawgs and we'll see about getting that new boat of yours all slimed up

Thanks Tom, that was a great read and congrats on a couple nice eyes !! I must be the only OFNer that's happy the winter hasn't found us down here yet

From my family to your's, Happy New Year and all the best in 2007 !!
