Just thinking about the boater that fell out of his boat on Lake O the other day and drowned. I've got a drop down ladder on the back of my boat that I could use to climb back in...hopefully...in the event I fall overboard. What's everybody else using ?? Just curious if everyone has thought about it because it could happen to any one of us on the next trip. Here's my ladder on the right side of the motor.

Yeah, that could make sense.

So someone actually witnessed him go overboard Steve ??

I'm not an icefisherman but a group of us from this board went to Simcoe about 10 years ago and I absolutely couldn't believe the filth I saw. We parked at a marina...KonTiki maybe ??...and it was worse than any town dump. I think every person that parked there threw their garbage out the car window and the crap that was left on the ice was an absolute disgrace. I can honestly say that was the worst mess left by so-called outdoorsmen that I have ever had the displeasure of seeing.

Go get'em Roger

One of the best jerkbaits you'll find for a musky Roger and one of my favorites. I just sold a couple of them but still have a couple in reserve. Best of luck this weekend and hopefully you get one of those big St. Clair slimy critters.

I took the boat over to Chemong earlier today just to go for a cruise and as usual, the garbage thrown around the Causeway by the shore fishermen is absolutely disgusting. Pretty pathetic the pigs we have to share this world with. So sad.

Was pretty dark in my end of the Kawarthas awhile ago with some thunderboomers and a bit of rain but it's a lot brighter now. Still calling for severe storms today though with the potential of tornados.

Sad ending to the story.

Your 100% correct Dave. I bought a new Crestliner in '99 and as soon as the boat would hit about 30 MPH it would lean sharply to the left. I tried a few different things and nothing would help so I took it back to the dealer where they realized the hull was hooked and causing the problem. Almost looked as if the boat had been dropped and landed on something. Not a problem for me as they just gave me a new boat and re-rigged it but could be a real issue for someone else if they damaged it themselves.

Those muskies have extremely sharp teeth and I wouldn't doubt for a minute that's what got him. My worst cut from a musky tooth was 8 stitches to my thumb.

I don't wave to the critters but I sure do spend alot of time smiling these days LOL Your 160 acres sounds fantastic.

First summer we were here the wife & I were sitting on the front porch one evening just enjoying life when these folks came down the road past the house. I knew then I'd made the right decision to get out of the city LOL

The more, the merrier

Cool picture for sure Rick and hopefully the wind is in the right direction to keep those fires away from you.

No, but I'll rent you the loft above the garage if you'd like

What you've got now sounds pretty nice Roger.

Cougars are everywhere Brian LOL

Just sitting here wandering around the internet and glanced out the window and there's a pretty little deer walking down the road. Last week it was a bear in the back yard. Don't know why I ever lived in the city

Wives just don't understand the real important things in life Paul

Any chance you can bumped the back wall of the garage out a few feet Paul ?

Thanks for the info Dan & Nipfisher, only about 12 days to go now....and I can't wait to get back up there.

You should try and cast more often Mike, specially in shallower weedy or rocky waters, and you'll be amazed at how many big fish you'll get on a figure 8

Atta boy Mike, good start to the season.

Yup, it's already set up John, Regan & I are heading up. Just have to watch for that crazy detour we almost missed in the channel when the 4 of us took made the trip.
