  1. You never know, someone may have some taste.
  2. I was under the impression that you could not park on the side of a highway.
  3. My last 4 years on Nipissing consist of 3-4 days (only one day this year) fishing with my brother in late May early June: Best fishing on the lake that I have ever experienced in the 30plus years that I've been fishing it.
  4. Beautiful fish.
  5. Good to see the tips line played a role. They can't get 'em all but, we can help.
  6. Some other tips for freezing your fish: Clean it sooner rather than later. Always a good idea whether freezing or not, though not always possible. Don't clump the meat up into a pile or on top of each other. After you've wrapped your fish (lots of great ideas above), put your fish into the coldest part (usually the bottom) of your fridge for a few hours first. Then put into the freezer (nearer the bottom, if you can find it, the better). Better to use the big freezer chest if you have one, not the one above/below your fridge. When you want your Frozen fish take it out long before you cook it and let it thaw in your fridge. If your stuck, thaw it in cold water, but make sure the water doesn't come in direct contact with the flesh. The keys are to freeze the meat (or any food) as fast as you can. Small pieces, lots of surface area, chilled in the fridge first, use the big freezer. And then thaw it slowly. Those are standard food prep guidelines.
  7. Heads-up. Maybe nothing but some noise and lights, but it is the type of conditions where things could go bad fast.
  8. Some extreme conditions: http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/mythbusters-what-a-drag.html#mkcpgn=fbdsc17
  9. Ya Ya Ya. You all caught some fish, and took some photos. Any exploding gas cans? No. Any men overboard? No. Boring! Great trip. Thanks for taking the time.
  10. Hmmmmmm? Who is going to swim and who is going to immolate himself?
  11. I can guess what you said when that happened.
  12. Nice fish.
  13. I was at my uncle's place for just one day this week. I didn't see your boat at your place... so I'm not that muskrat.
  14. DumbWow. Though it really should be DumWow.
  15. The wind was bad, the waves were not.
  16. Never got bit on Nipissing this week. Though the 33 degrees celsius and 40 kph winds might have had something to do with it.
  17. Quite a few guys here have rigged up a plastic toolbox to use a unit on the ice. A search may turn up what you are looking for.
  18. And that is what you get for asumin'.
  19. Nice fish! That's a dark fish for Nipissing (I'm assuming).
  20. The officers are allowed to use discretion. If you are a , jerk, blowhard, know-it-all, bozo, I pay your salary; you are not likely to get a break. That said, you could be a nice guy and still end up with a fine if they think you've done something wrong.
  21. Fishing and fishing buddies. Good times.
  22. Check your pm, I sent a long list.
  23. I just photoshopped out bernie's boathouse. Never thought about my avatar photo. That was about 18 years, and 50lbs, ago... different shirt, same colour.
  24. Only had one day to fish Nipissing with my brother this spring and the weather did not cooperate. Our last three years had been progressively better then the previous, but with only one day, what are you gonna do. We caught a few, but never found the numbers. Nice to see the water back up.
  25. I go fishing for one day and I am right out of the loop.
