Nice report-thanks for sharing.
-
Awesome pics, I enjoyed looking at them again.

I have a few questions.....
Gettin royally screwed around with TD tryin to set up a mortgage.
Any virgin home purchasing tips are always welcome.
-buy with 25% down...it saves you a chunk of change.
-look around...I've had a few mortgages, sometimes there is a real difference.
-if credit history is a problem, I have heard that BMO is the best to deal with.
-
This stuff just pisses me off. How can a society be so stupid?
-
I'm shivering right now. Another great report Mike.
-
As always an awesome report. All that ice and fish reminded me of the supermarket!!
-
That's very sad to hear Float, Leslie's and my prayers are with you and your family tonight.
-
Beats being at work......I think. lol! Now what would the wind chill be at those temps and speed you were traveling at? Here's a tip for the next time your in those cold conditions ripping up the lake......snowmobile helmet.
Thanks for the report!What happens if you like work?

A beauty report. I have fished Europe, and although many have seen monster pike shots from Europe, the reality is that generally all of your backyard fishing is highly regulated and highly pressured. While certain types of fish here can be pressured, it's amazing what most fishermen leave completely untargeted, even in the most populated areas.

Great report...always a pleasure to read.
-
Awesome outing....
-
Top drawer stuff...a pleasure to view.

I heard he bought a fishing lodge in Quebec. Perhaps a group of OFNers could head up there this summer?
-
It was a great year. I finally joined the 40 inch pike club.
and caught 6 possibly 7 new species.
I say possibly seven because I am unsure about what looks to be a blue walleye.

If we are talking survival one lure fishing, then where did the boat come from?
A jig is nice if you have a boat. If you are tossing from shore and distance or accuracy is a requirement, I'd much rather fish with a little cleo. -
The C$ is not up its just less down.
That would be 25% less down this year
-
For an all purpose utility lure I would have to say a little cleo. Unlike many of the other choices it works on most species, can be fished throughout the water column, and more importantly can be chucked a good distance accurately. In my mind a wormharness doesn't count because it uses live bait.

Look at this, first place I look for Pike fishing in Manitoba has this disclaimer; "*NOTE: Rapidly fluctuating monetary values and exchange rates may play a role in the total price of your trip. Please call us for prices"
No prices given in Canadian dollars. If I think 8-10% discount prices actually look reasonable.
-
With the Canadian dollar up 20% in the year has anyone looked to see where the buck can go farther this year? Here are a few ideas:
-some places offer prices in both Canadian and American dollars. Can you pay in American if they still use old spreads?
-any US trips looking a lot more attractive this year?
-Canadian establishments that only take US$?
-any place offering deals?
-other ways to stretch your steroid injected dollar?

I would pick Saltspring Island off of Vancouver island. It's big enough that it has decent shopping. Great summer climate and just a little less damp then Vancouver. If you miss the snow, head to Whistler. You are a short ferry ride away from awesome saltwater fishing and freshwater fishing. There is even decent fishing on the island. Just a very beautiful corner of this world.
Out east looks nice too. Perhaps some place central so you would be close enough to PEI, Newfoundland, Cape Breton and Southern Nova Scotia shore. What I have seen of Northern Quebec is also great.
If it had to be Ontario, then I would want to be above the hummid/smog belt which can extend to Sudbury/Northbay. The Nipigon area is awesome, Tamagami, and LOTW.

My report from this summer. http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...esagami%20scuro
It costs and the weather is a factor. It's a great lake, fishing is excellent, and the package they offer takes all worry out of fishing. I thought it was worth the money.

The Bunk posted, and I was on a long shot with the wife to say yes, I mean it was 5 days notice
Well Asked the Wife (Roxy) and the 1st Thing I said was I got a favor to ask She replies " Are you going out for milk?"Thats kinda the code for I'm goin fishin with Bunk Yes hun...... No hesitation, well we had better go shoppin
Well I got my gear set, borrwed a few heavier rods From Rob, and I was packed.
Takin the bus there was the best choice, it was mid week after all. Well the bus and train did not conect gettin there or home, so it was a hotel either way.

I just knew it, Ken reeked of gifted skill sets right from the start of his posts...but I couldn't put my finger on it.
We had to wait for the scotch thread for his talents to surface.
