Head sure seemed like it was from a bigger bear.

No problem, no ones heard of that place and it is completely empty for opener.

Fully aware, there just appeared to be some vagueness.

So is that the one that flew back to Nakina with us?

Algonquin isn't open to fishing until the 4th Saturday in April.

Something else to think about, this article mentions the lack of used cars because of the downturn in '09. Supply and demand. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/driving-it-home/banking-on-buying-used-think-again/article2405145/

I was just reading an article about 2009 Toyota highlanders. That might be our next tow vehicle.

I've heard some complaints about emissions from those models.

Two words: Dick Proenneke

Ya, Dave is like that Bebier kid... At least on here.

Sorry about the 3 days of thunder storms forecast for this part of Ontario guys. I just bought some kites for my son.

Middle of the 2nd? I went to bed after the 2nd period.

Practice and experimenting will help a lot. There is (was?) a book out called Precision Trolling that would give you trolling depth of just about all the major baits. Another option to control the amount of line out, is to mark your line every 10 feet. Diawa has a line counter that can be had for about $65 new if you're going to get into it a bit more. I like the shad raps and the deep taildancer. For me, for walleye, in the water I fish the most I like: perch, silver/black minnow, and gold/black minnow. How fast/slow to run the outboard depends on the size of the boat/motor and conditions. But yes, usually just above stall, or a little faster will work. Don't forget to check how the lure is running at the side of the boat at the speed that feels right. The baits like the original rapala and the husky jerks work really well but, need some weight to get down below 5-7 feet. This can be done with either a split shot or two or a bottom bouncer or 3 way rig. I find that the split shot option is nice and subtle but more prone to snagging then the other options. A web search should turn up some other options as well. http://www.thenextbite.com/Precision_Trolling

Easy rider has a nice fish.

Swing.... and a miss.

Oh no, you didn't.

Smith must have played soccer as a kid. No doubt he was hit, and there should have been a penalty, but the embellishment was ridiculous and embarrassing.

Ya he does qualify the lake trout as the top "off shore" predator.

Look close. The guy with the red hoody has an air hose over his shoulder.

How are you going to fish for 'em? If you are mostly jig fishing: faster action. If it is casting crankbaits: moderate action. I'd likely go medium to med-heavy power. What is one guys "perfect" rod is junk to another, so it is really a personal thing... and why I have 20 or so in the basement.

Tax payers? jk Does seem screwy to have the total deemed a taxable benefit.

Can we get a rim shot?

Note to self: don't lend tybo my rain suit. I really like the cabelas guide suit. They were on sale last fall. Quite a few of us here took advantage. I think I saved about $150, got a free tackle bag $60 value, and then when the price dropped and I asked, they sent me a $50 (maybe $75) credit.

This guy went all out. Should give you some ideas. http://www.correllconcepts.com/boat_conversion.htm

It's not like the late fall on Q, nothing is. There are still many 7-9 pounders but many more 1-4s. That's fishin'.
