Ricoh, your absence is extremely distressing LOL How are those stripers treating you?!? Miss ya buddy!

ok.... lol hi

Just dropping by to browse the action on OFC. Thought i would say a howdilly hodilly to my fishing neighboroonies. I'll put together a season report at some point. Snag's sister keeps me on a tight leash so I have a word-limit. Hope everyone is

So how goes the fishing season for everyone? I haven't been able to get out on the water quite as much this year, but the trips we did make were great. Got another musky while bass fishing. This time it hit a small bass tube. It was hooked just right in the corner of the mouth. Quite a surprise! I'll post a pic or two soon. I'm marrying Snag's sister. Cheers

Agreed Grant. I've been doing what Aron said these days. I try to take photos of fish on an angle that doesn't give away the spot. Infact, I was just cropping a few pics right now. One of them I can't even post because it's just too obvious and it's one of my favourite spots. I've said too much in the past and it's part of the reason I don't post reports so much any more. I also think what Erik said about the fishery is true. I still see and catch plenty of fish. I haven't been skunked yet this year. Although, I never specifically divulge a select few spots. Maybe that has something to do with it. The litter thing is extremely disturbing. It's a crying shame if a good spot gets shut down for that reason. I just don't understand how people can leave garbage lying around like that. I think disrespectful fishermen is the biggest problem here. I'll probably post reports this season. But it's unlikely anyone who doesn't already know the spot by heart will recognize where it is. It's just safer that way. Cheers EDIT: And greggy is right about other reasons why spots get shut down. Droves are droves, and are usually not too welcome outside of places such as woodstock.

i might be down there some time in the early afternoon. hmm. i'll be the guy with a fishing pole. hehe see ya out there, good luck

Dude. Call me. Pronto! hehe

in response to... - Snag aka snog (??) aka master/professional chameleon of photographic impersonation: Sorry about the newbness! You're right, no introduction or anything. That is over the the top newbness! But I really don't have any cool pictures or good stories to tell!! In reply to your PM... I'm game so long as we have those incredibly effective oars still? - Dude (why has everyone changed their names! I'm lost and confused) "if you dont already know, when bass opens there is some nice 5 pounders there as well." You can walk right up and tickle them even. Ask Ricoh! And if you so happen to enter into that bass tournament out of O.P. I suggest you always throw a follow up when you're partner has one on. You'll get a 20+ lbs. bag within about 5 minutes. It's the leap frog technique. Ask Fidel! hehe - Mako aka Aron aka crazy toronto harbour wave runner (you hit that wave on purpose, don't pretend like you didn't lol) "There is no pike in the harbour. Spread the word " I wouldn't know, I caught all mine smack in the middle of april down behind the mcdonald's on ontario street in st. catharines. no seriously!! (*evil grin*) Now i'm going to have to post that pic of my first pike. It actually DID come from that spot. It was bait. I know. But I felt victorious! - brickNblock "Tell FHR I still have that great map he made up of the islands." Actually I made that. But I sometimes wish I hadn't. It's like a key to the city (or the lighthouse). Power has it's price. Use it well - LeXXington "you guys are almost-famous down there" Almost? We spend most of our time waving and nodding and signing women's bras. You'd wonder how we actually make the time to fish. - Fiddler (I'm not even gonna attempt to go through your aka's) "I've got a bottle of El Jimador with your name on it." As long as it doesn't say El Carpo. Miss you too buddy. Poker night coming up. - Ricoh DUDE. I thought you might've left on me! I'm really glad you're in town still, we have alot of winter hibernation to make up for. How's melrose? How are you? Call me man! - Jigger I want to come!!! I want to come!! hehe. The senko-musky day. I had a blast man. I definitely hope we manage some trips out this year. I'll give ya the tour of my area for some nice bass. I'll drop you my number in PM. Cheers everybody. Sorry to compile everything in one big post. It makes me look way cooler though doesn't it? I'll stop now *bows head in shame*

For a minute there I thought I might've woken up from winter hibernation a bit early. But the misty cloud cover and the smell of the soil thawing in the don valley is telling me otherwise. Winter apparently IS over and I just know those pike are playing sweet love songs in the harbour. Regardless of the over-exposure of the urban fishing scene and the surplus of local anglers lately, i predict an insanely successful pike season! Good luck and I'm sure I'll see some of you out there enjoying it too! C&R! P.S. Snag, fiddle, sorry for my hermit-hood. I just didn't have the itch. But i'm starting to tingle a bit.
