wow nice setup, i've been looking at the Honda's , but the grizzly is a fine machine too

beauty for sure ... nice job

I just read a very interesting article in this months issue of Ontario Out Of Doors, regarding the amount of soft plastic baits being found in the bellies of Lake Trout and Brook trout (possibly other species) It seems that the fish in the study had large amounts of un-digestable plastic baits in their bellies causing many of them to lose weight and eventually be susceptible to disease and predation. I was under the impression that many plastics on the market quickly biodegrade but that does not seem to be the case. I actually have not been examining the stomach contents of the fish that I have eaten so this is surprising. I am not sure what bodies of water their research was done in however I am now more interested in seeing how many fish may be in this situation. I would suspect that heavily pressured lakes will contain more plastics than remote lakes. The article goes on to explain that there is an estimated 20 million pounds of soft plastic baits lost each year in North American lakes and rivers. How many of you have found plastic baits in the stomachs of the fish you have caught ? Do you see this as a potential serious problem ?

Yeah I hear ya, i have had a few close calls in the canoe, luckily never gone under in the spring.

Hey, welcome to the board Trout Hunter... agree with Solo, for lakers there are better options, for specks i have caught some around the mouth of Koko creek, depends on if you planning day trip or going in for a backcountry trip ... I prefer backcountry trips, the interior lakes like Lavielle and Lamuir are worth the effort for laker fishing

Welcome , great bunch of folks here with a lot of fishing knowledge.

Great story, I too have thought the exact same thing many times (note to self take notes about my fishing days), but never did I was looking for a Iphone app for this ? anyone out there have an app that may do the job ? never too late i guess !

never rented from this guy but have seen the ads on Kijiji http://www.stilesfishhuts.com/

I purchased the Clam Base Camp thermal as well, hoping to use it this weekend. I sprayed it with Camp Dry, which they recommend in the owners document that comes with the unit. Will provide a reveiw when i try it out.

nice video as usual Simon, love seeing the fish through the clear ice like that, will have to wait till next Saturday for the first Laker outing of 2011

nice setup, looks like the last few days of mild weather didn't affect it too much

Thanks Brandon, i am using a Canon T1i and just starting to learn the video side , not at all in your league but hoping to have some fun with it anyway I have a couple of friends that make a living in photography (tough business) , and looks like you are well on your way cheers

awesome , can you share what video equipment and software you use, I have been dabbling with HD video on my Canon, and using just Imovie, but may look at Final Cut pro

great story , glad everyone is ok and minimal damage

very nice , congrats

nice mod

i think with that material you will be warm enough even without a heater

Wow great pics

Wasn't sure what to expect this morning, but we walked out onto Scugog after we saw other folks out there. Drilled a couple of holes in about 7 ft of water and caught 3 small perch in 1 hour. Ice was about 8 - 9 inches thick and had lots of water on top which made the trek a little tricky. Skidooers were flying across the lake so i guess it must be ok. After tomorrow night I am sure it will be like a sheet of glass when it freezes.

beautiful place to be fishing, those Cutthroat are nice

that was a good one

Not sure where this is , but i thought Simcoe got crowded !!! check out video at 2:15

Merry Christmas !

watched the marathon episodes last night on discovery, they were all awesome the amazon river is fill of nasty creatures that want to eat you

This happened at Vancouver Intl Airport Its a nice way to ease the stress of of being at an airport, although doubt this could happen at an American airport these days Air Canada must have arranged it.
