Who is yellow head?

PS...Nancy typed this for me, I am a lazy bum...she'll post the pics...I am an idiot.

(I so want so much to put something here, but he is at my back...the hulk could be back...that's okay though I have learnt how not to bite the tongue, nor hit below the belt anymore...I really really have...and I can't wait to respond to this in the privacy of my own home within the next few days...)

I'm starting to look forward to your reports. There is always an unusual turn of a phrase or two of interest...and then there are those nuggets that one has to patiently wait for but when found make the wait well worth it.

I can picture chrome typing with bowsheep pacing behind her and the subtle interplay between scribe and sage. An age old battle once again relived in modern times.

Yer did it up right boys!!! Awesome report! Where is the bit about your arms falling off from tossin' cord wood with hooks all day long?

I'd vote for this resort on Lake Nipigon.

The place is clean and well run. Nothing fancy but great value. The scenery in the area is stunning with very little boat traffic. You see maybe a boat or two if any, on any given day. Bring a small boat and there are plenty of backwoods fishing lakes that will amaze you including some bass lakes. At the "resort" you are right on Lake Nipigon so if you have a large boat you can fish for some world class lake trout out on the main lake. Near the resort there is perch, pike, and walleye. The top of Superior is just stunning. Oh and check out the website for their lake Nipigon fishing tour. Met two American older couples there last year. One set came from Texas and stayed the whole summer. The other from Ohio and stayed a few weeks.

But don't leave us on the hook...give us all the details down to the colour of socks you were wearing and what cereal you had for breakfast. All of us wannabes drool over that sort of information.

You are on freaking fire this fall!!

The best to both of you! and as an aside some nice honking fish!

You are the king of peer fishing!

Trip is getting a heck of a lot cheaper by the day. With the dollar at par the wife and I talked about Florida for the first time in 15 years.

Had to stop reading, I felt tears welling up. Prayers are coming his way.

Nice report. A hundred yards of line.....woulda been a good fish!

To be fishing now as you guys did....summers over ...

I know you have been waiting for this question, are we gonna see the rest of the fish?

I'm determined to catch a Muskie. Do Muskie fishermen use cradles for Muskie or is there a reason that most don't?

It's 35 million earmarked for fish and wildlife (read hunting) programs. Granted any extra money, or fraction of extra money, would be nice, there are much bigger fish to fry in this next election.

Now you got me interested! Every OFNer is going to be shore fishing tomorrow :w00t:

Well we finally tied the knot yesterday and now my long awaited trip to Temagami is a day away. Hopefully I can write up a report with tons of fish pics and not just scenery. See you all in 2 weeks!

You never really specified...is that with or without the wife If it's with the wife shes a keeper for going fishing on the honeymoon.

Shore fishing with it's many dangers and limitations...nice job on landing that honker!

If you haven't rented the documentary, Grizzly Man, it's worth a view. It's an quirky morbid flick about Timothy Treadwell. He was infatuated with Grizzlies and in the end stopped using common sense. He documents on video that the bears are diving deep in the cold pools looking for dead salmon and soon after gets eaten.

Awesome muskie. Tell a little more about the battle.

Awesome when you do something new with no prior experience and you pull the rabit out of the hat. Good on ya!

you need to do some research on your own. you have found the OFC on the computer, do some searches for charters and lodges...

Well, I have a different opinion... why not at least use the advice of others who have done what you want to do as a starting point for your search?

I can recommend "U" catchem out of Meaford. I believe he has at least one big boat that could run multiple lines. The guy who owns the operation is very friendly and would be accommodating to a bachlor party group. Simply let him know what is up. He also has a female captain who got a friend on fish last fall. She is supposed to be good.

I'm sure there are lots of good charter operators in Ontario. Ask people who fish.

sounds like a nice way to spend a week!

Yeah, as you can tell, I'm pretty much a fishing newbie. I've fished many time but mostly just bass and the occasional pike. I don't really know where to start. I really love fishing and my friends asked me what I wanted to do for my bachelor party and I said I'd rather go on a weekend fishing trip. But I want something completely different from the regular bass fishing that we do in this area. (White Lake, Mississipi River, etc.)

 

Anyone have any other suggestions? Like I said, I'm pretty much starting from scratch.

A bachelor party is always a piss-up. Your ideal will be corrupted...or may be not. I once took about 6 guys on a charter for salmon fishing on Georgian bay. That is a beautiful part of the world and they sensed that. It was very different from anything they had ever done. They still all got ticked up and we only caught one decent salmon but they remembered it and still comment about it. Pick the right time of year like now and you should have great results, we went on a blazing early summer day.

I can't see any muskie charter guy wanting beer swillers on their boat. The muskie charter guys are more mystical like where by everything and anything can throw off the muskie gods. They would shriek in horror upon seeing your crew with their intentions. Salmon charter boat operators will simply laugh at your groups antics while they troll into the sunset and ring the register to a good payday. One outfit out of Meaford has two boats if your party is larger, that could be fun.
