Thanks I needed that

very high on my bucket list, maybe just maybe this year

The entire Canadian fishing regulations summarized on 1/2 a magazine page. Wish things were that simple again

I sure don't miss those airboat rides on Temagami. Really hard on the kidneys

Got up late this morning but figured I'd get in an hour of casting before doing any more reno work on the basement. Grabbed my rod and a handful of pier chucking baits and headed down to the river at around 9:00 am. It was looking pretty ugly, dark overcast but as yet no rain. Only 2 other guys on this side of the wall dunking roe and they hadn't seen anything. Rivermouth was completly blown out with muddy water and crud making casting difficult without hanging up on a twig or other stuff. They packed up and left about 30 minutes later. Started to notice more shiners right in against the wall so switched up to a long thin rattle bait, slowed the retreive down and cast parallel along the wall. That was the ticket. 2 quick browns in about 15 minutes both about 3 lbs. Nice and shiny lake fish. Kept the same casting routine up and saw several more chasers over the next hour - lots of lure bumps but no hook ups.Finally got the hooks into a nice one around 28" , 5-6 lbs One heck of a fight for colder water.Ran off a bunch of line a couple times. Fished another hour and lost a real big boy that hit right at my feet along the wall. This one was still pretty dark but couldn't do anything on such a short bit of line. Had to pack up as both my rod and my sons started buzzing and clicking as some dark storm clouds rolled over the lake. Could feel the static buzz right inot the handle and when I touched the tip of the rod to the ground it stopped. One big thunder boomer and that was the sign to get out of there!

If this is the C Map code SDPREM-C5 Erie-Eastern Basin (Sturgeon Point to Point Abino)* Erie ON Erie-Western Basin, Sandusky, Central Basin, Eastern Basin* Ashtabula ON I have this chip and been on Erie Crystal Beach to Buffalo, no depth maps for this area. It on the Great lakes map

Please tell me what this is from so I can watch more. I remember the Mrs Brown adds for the live show in Toronto. Just love this accent. They could read the dictionary and I would laugh. Kicking myself for not going.

Thank you

Faked cutting off my finger in the kitchen cooking breakfast. Didn't go over so well and I ate my omlette alone

I went threw hell about 5 years ago when I ruptured C4,5 and 6 discs in my neck. Family doctor slapped me on the back and said to buck up it's only a pinched nerve and I shouldn't be complaining so much. A month of severe pain and no sleep. A quick turnaround from a walk in clinic doctor, off to Dr Trotter in Oakville and I had an MRI and was sitting in Dr Marmor's office (101 Queensway W)in less than 72 hours later. I must have had horseshoes as the discs relaxed 3-4 weeks before the surgery and my arm/leg pain subsided to a level I can live with now. I had a very comfortable feeling in all my visits with Dr Marmor (101 Queensway W). He came very highly recommended from my neurologist and the reviews on the internet from other patients were all top notch. He's associated with Trillium that usually does most of these types of surgery in the west end. He passed the "wife" test as she did all the digging inot the surgery and risks. Look him up, all I ever saw were glowing reviews and alot of God Bless him('s)!!! Good luck with everything and be careful with the percocet. They're some crazy/nasty stuff.

That rod's gonna look really wierd ice fishing up in Muskoka

Rafs right, although the DI from what I know is supposed to be the "NEW" technology fish finder. My gut tells me let everyone else try it and they'll work the bugs out until it's proven HD5 5 or HB597 will cover everything you need and then some!

I'll do that next time Brian. Was already really late and was thinking I was gonna catch it when I got home at 7pm. Said I'd be home by 4 or 5 at the latest Homer, I'll be copying that measuring tube. Nicely done and simple to use

Nice Report Homer, We hit the north end on Saturday too!. That wind was a killer as I kind of dressed for a mild day. Had to set up the hut and stay out of the wind till after 1pm when it started to warm up. Our group did OK as we set up on a big - deep inside turn along the shore. It's were I got my 18# last year and we've had good days here as fish tend to move through all day. Spoon bit started great in 90 FOW, about 10-15 ft off the bottom and had 6 before 15 minutes had passed. First one was 19" and the rest were really small. Bite continued to be good on the spoon up high for another hour and then nothing. The screen went completely blank. Time to change up. Rigged up a small Bad Boy and tipped with a minnow and a small stinger hook. Dusted the bottom and kept banging for a minute or so, then lift up and slowly wave the jig. Trout would just hang onto the minnow. If I hadn't had 8lb firleine I don't think I would have felt them at all... Finished the day with double digits and we had a much better size in the late afternoon. Two better ones later in the day. typical trout for the day. That's a six inch hole

OK it sold me! As soon as I saw it crawl under that dock I have to have one. Also almost soiled my pants when the fish hit Where did you order from Garry. Thanks

Had a few over the years and last year I picked up my first colour. Would now never fish without it. With the higher wattage (mines a 4000 HB)there is just no comparison with seeing whats down there but in color. Spend the money and get a colour unit, you'll never regret it

Dell Computers Support Line. Hello my name is Chip

I've had my camera in there a few times. never have been stopped or asked about it. Just walked in carrying it in plain view. If there is a stipulation about cameras or recording devices it would be printed on your tickets

I got 3 whitefish today. Real soft bite

was out today again on a solo trip, Off IBP it was great walking. If I had more energy I would have hoofed it over to Fox island but it looked really crowded over there. Cars still driving and hardly any water on top. The access at IBP for cars looked toast at the end of the day unless you had a larger 4x4. One small 4 door sitting on the ice trying to figure out how to get off. It'll hold up good for ther next few days. Was -4 when I left and ice was forming a bit in the holes.

Walking was real good today, the top had crusted up solid but you could see some water/bubbles underneath. A little windy here and there but it really tightened up good last 2 days. Only 1-2 spots near shore where you actually got your boots wet

One overlooked rod these days is the fenwick riggerstik twist guides. I've been running these for 20 years and just love them. Not sure who still sells these. Spring baits for me are a lot of minnow baits - 4". Renosky's and rapalas, storm. I have older Abu 7000 and have been looking at the rapala hydros this year. Very good reviews.

Fishing there is kind of like watching old-timer NHL players. I started fishing this place back in the early 80's. It was a hidden gem with great crappie, bass and pike. Fishing presure has pretty much wiped out the panfish and the other gamefish have followed. I keep holding out for a turn around and do 1 trip a year out there. At the end of the day I climb back in the truck and wonder why I keep abusing myself. Great memories of a once incredible stretch of water.

I'm finally dry and warm again! Oh yeah darn heck of a time to find out my older float suit is no longer waterproof too

Hit IBP today with my son and hoped for a few hours fishing. The drive from oakville was horrendous until we hit bass pro. It was pouring rain and then turned to big slushy snowflakes right into Innisfil. Walked due east from the park out about 1.5 km. All the way out it was soft white ice with anywhere from 2-5 inches of water on top. Both of us were soaked to the skin from the heavy wet snow and the walk out. Fished for about 3 hours with only a couple bumps. Shoreline at the ramp was broken through and about 1 ft deep water. Several cars and trucks driving with huge water spray as they went buy Ice was around 20" but really soft and white. Hopefully there will be enough cold to tighten things up
