Henry, You just raised the bar on responses to this type of thread! I am going to try that on Saturday.

Thanks for this discussion. I am finding it very helpful! :thumbsup_anim:

Does anyone have a favourite way to rig for catfish that you wish to share? I am looking for new ideas and was hoping that we could get a discussion going on this.

Yea, but carpenters are nailing things down.....

You're from Barrie........

I have a 5' long drill bit that I used to use in situations like that, but! make sure you don't drill into anything other than joist. Pipes, wire, air ducts etc....

I have to warn you pretty soon there will be at least one bass boat screaming up and down the river however this one does come off plane for smaller craft.

Gasp, how could you do that! But hey it is up to the owner to do as seen fit.....

The MNR might be a good place to ask. They may even want to be aware of the possible problem.

I would come roaring up my my bass boat, cut the throttle just as I get to the swim platform, wityh a loud UNNNGGGGGHHHH get out of the drivers seat making sure that I have the machine with the flashing lights and the machine that goes beep on and in full view of the spectators that have rushed down to the bank in order to, (no doubt), watch me, the master, fish this section of lake that they happen to vacation by. Then I would slowly lean over, trying to get past my rotund exposed belly, and pick up one of my many ultra-expensive rod and reel combos, and display it to the spectators on shore so they can admire the fact that I have something they don't have. Realizing that I forgot to drop the bowmount trolling motor I would bellow a particularly offensive explitive, toss my afore-mentioned rod and reel combo, lumber over to the bow of my blinding sparkly bass boat, and with an even louder grunt pull the handle and drop it into the water. Then I would cast my lure and expertly bounce it of the dock only leaving one lure behind that had the mis-fortune of hooking it self into the easily accessible side of the dock. That is how I would fish that area.

Of all the stellar lines in the writing, that is my favourite! :rofl2:

I have been put in charge of arranging a team building exercise/fishing trip for my division at work. It will consist of myself, two female co-workers AND our spouses, (don't get any ideas...) :jerry: Time frame, July - early September and it would be mid-week Wendsday - Friday. What I am looking for is a place suitable for a Ranger Bass boat, good accommodations, possible boat rental, and within an hour of Ottawa or other place that is easy to fly (commercially) into. Any suggestions are welcome, and species does not matter. Probably pan fish is what we will be catching. Thanks in advance

Let's test it on Erie tomorrow, see if I can stand up in it...

The guy with the most big fish.

PM Garry2r's he is great company and a a heck of a fisherman to boot! He can give you a Kawarthas experience you are not soon to forget.

Two men are driving through Alabama when they get pulled over by an Alabama State trooper. The Trooper walks up and taps on the window with his nightstick, the driver rolls down the window and "WHACK", the Trooper smacks him in the head with the stick. The driver says, "what the heck was that for?" The Trooper says, "You're in Alabama boy. When we pulls you over, you better have your license ready when we get to your car. "The driver says, "I'm sorry, Officer, I'm not from around here." The Trooper runs a check on the guy's license, and he's clean. He gives the guy his license back and walks around to the passenger side and taps on the window. The passenger rolls down the window and "WHACK", the Trooper smacks him up side the head with the nightstick too. The passenger says, "What'd you do that for?" The Trooper says, "Just making your wish come true." The Passenger says, "huh?" The Trooper says, "I knows that two miles down the road you were gonna say, "I wish that son of a gun would've tried that crap with me!"

My condolences to the family.

If you want your kids to grow up as citidots, move to town. If you want them to grow up loving the outdoors stay in a rural area. Even small towns have bad influences. Just my two cents. You just spent a ton of time and sweat getting your house the way you want and now someone else is going to have the benefit of all the effort you put in?

bump 'cause it is important, thanks for letting us know!

I'd express surprise, but I can't.....this is just normal for Mercman.

When do you make the transition from late season to early season???
