Cast-Away

If you want to see huge GBay Ski's, visit Cookstown Autowreckers. The owner Johnny and his son have some monsters in there that were all caught in the basin. If memory serves me, there is a 54 lb Ski, another around 50, a Pike in the high 30's and some monster Bass and Walleye. The 54 pounder was caught by his son at the age of 12 in late November!

Have you tried 6 Mile Lake? They have quite a few lake sites and it is less then two hours from Toronto!

I've been to Disney with the kids and highly recommend a small digital camera that will fit in a pouch around your waste. Take a few shots with the family and enjoy your time there because it will fly right by. I've seen so many people there with their faces glued to camcorders the whole time and miss out on the joy of watching the magic of their kids’ fascination with the whole experience. Just my two cents worth.

Just jumping in on the thread today Wayne. That is the chute just north of the Severn lock beside Hwy 400, formerly Hwy 69.

Wayne you are a riot! I LOL! Blackstone Harbour in the basin is not charted so would you mind flying over in the spring and taking a few shots of that for me? HA

Nice find Taper. Did you hook up the hot tub yet?

Turn left young man!

Is it true that your beer is not 5% alcohol?

Squid, how do you feel about this?

Hey Lew, you slept in today (3:15)! I had to strategically walk my dog today in order to minimize mud coverage on her undercarriage!

Wayne you are very funny! I remember asking you to take those pictures! The end of the bay closer to your plane is where the Pike are in the summer. The whole bay around the island on both sides is 30 feet deep or less. Sorry RivRat, the fishing in 12 Mile is not very good at the best of times.

My buddies and I use to fish right around the area in the winter and never had any luck. Granted we were fishing near shore hoping for Perch. In the summer I see locals trolling out towards the mouth of the Bay with down riggers on. I fish down near the east end of 12 Mile in the summer and catch Pike and Perch there.

What part of the bay are you staying in? If it is the east part, there are Pike and Perch. From the government dock west, it is pretty much only Salmon.

Same, I just booked the Massasauga for July yesterday!

Is it your first boat? If so, enjoy fishing out on the lake. The best thing about a boat that size is that you can throw it on the roof of a car and go anywhere. A 12 footer started my buddies and I off on an annual trip to the French that eventually migrated down to the Moon Basin.

Personally, I don't think that you should be asking a question like this even if it is an "informal poll".

What a great report Solo! Wading for Walleye, how awesome is that?!!

The oil companies are pretty cute now. The price only drops in the evening now, so if you want cheaper gas, you can't even get it on the way home from work any more.

I turned from freezing rain to snow here in Newmarket about half an hour ago. The garbage truck just went by picking up Christmas trees. He must be happy, because if the freezing rain kept up, all of the trees would freeze to the ground.

I'm really lucky that the company gave me a laptop back in the summer, so on a day light today, I am plugged in and working from my family room, watching all of the neighbours go by in their vehicles to work! What a crappy day to have to drive anywhere. Be careful out there everyone.

How about the "Whitefish of Dover" or the "Dove Inn"?

From work to home for the weekend of course! Off to Snow Valley tomorrow to watch the kids take a waterskiing, I mean snow skiing lesson. I might join them if it is not raining.

DSN, Pinnacle's website does nto show their products, but Hobby Hobby's does. You can shop on one and call the other for pricing.

dsn, I purchased it from Pinnacle Hobby in Markham. They had much better pricing then Hobby Hobby out in Mississauga where I work.

Definitely a Merc prop. I have the same motor from 2000 and the blades are much more rounded.
