Wow...now THAT'S community

depends on the tip-up. The ones that have the line wrapped right around them, with no spool...yes..they could conceivably go down the hole. They are really meant to be closely monitored. The ones that have spools on them are designed to let the fish run...just don't let them run so long they spool you! Usually these have flags on them or something to let you know when the spool starts moving.

nice one Paul! Guess I better dig out my receipt from last week!

This whole FLames/flu shot thing has really been bugging me. Here's all I have to say about it: All the people that that went to the clinics in Calgary who were NOT "high risk" are just as "bad" as the Flames are being made out to be. The organization in charge of organizing the clinics and the administration of shots absolutely dropped the ball by not making it clear that nobody should be lining up for a shot until the high risk public had been served first. They are totally dodging the bullet for a ridiculous lack of organization and preparedness, while the Flames team is made to look like villains. All kinds of non-high risk people stepped in front of those who needed the shot more. Having a pricate clinic is no different than going to your doctor's instead of waiting in a long public clinic line. ok all done.

DOOOD! Sometimes I think it would be wrong for me to catch a walleye until I get the chance to do it with you But then I snap out of it Great vid and pics...thanks for sharing

Sorry mang....do a google search for "cabela's ford f-150"...looks like they do it as a package on their trucks. But OH how sweet would that be...Barrie needs one!! Let's start a petition

Rick O'Banion has one for sale on the OFC classifieds...can't remember the brand...just an fyi

Awesome report, Jay...sounds like a wild weekend. I hope to see a bright green jerkbait or a black bucktail in one of your reports in the future

That's too bad he'll be closed for the winter...he's the man! Ah well...thanks for the post Wayne.

MMMMmmmm....pho....so good! Was at the good ol' BPS yesterday myself

Some fantastic shots there, man...what a year!

Not so secret anymore...all we have to do is check out his blog and round up the posse to go overfish all the good spots! Thanks a LOT for blowing that one out of the water, Tom Nice fish, Justin...thanks for sharing

Not a lot of experience on my part, but from what I've read, you want to be tossing body baits, like smithwick's rogues, x-raps, long A's, in the evening close to shore....from 7-12pm...near causeways, dams (where legal), and generally walleye-like shorelines. Good luck

DOOD!!!! Well done!!

I'm interested in the Bucktail's first question...any word on how the trout are doing? Hearing little bits and pieces here and there....but no full fledged reports...

Nice report! Gotta get me down there soon....

Very nice, I like!! Didn't get the action you were hoping for, but at least you got out and hit a few

you and me both, ADB Nice fish, SS

Hey...your friend looks like the same guy who was out on Georgian Bay Nice fish!! I wish I lived up there

stellar muskie! Too bad about your face

Great topic, Raptorfan I remember my first fish, maybe age 4? 5? OFf the dock at my Dad's parent's place on Lake Muskoka. I remember the loud click of the massive brown Zebco spinning reel....I remember my dad saying "reel reel reel reel!" And out came a sunfish, and everyone made a big deal of it. Soon I was (reluctantly) lipping my first rock bass....but the trips to that cottage ended, as Papa died, and Nana had to sell the cottage. Nobody in the family was able to keep it, so, we spent the next few years roaming the provincial parks in rv's and pop up trailers. It wasn't until we got a cottage on 3 mile lake (the one near Utterson) that I clearly remember the fishing bug becoming permanent. As soon as someone said "hey, you don't have to sit around here...you can go down to the lake and fish"...that was it. I never understood why my older siblings would complain that there was nothing to do up there....we had a lake!! We could fish!!! Every Friday night, we'd stop at Ellwood Epps...grab some worms....and all weekend, I would work my shoreline spots for countless panfish. Then we got the little tinner...and I could work more shoreline! And troll!!! Still remember sitting in a car-repair shop in Huntsville for the afternoon, and my Dad and I walked next door to a convenience store to kill time...he bought me a copy of Field and Stream. I read the thing repeatedly...being about 9 or 10 by now....and dove headlong into a host of new techniques...which had me saving money to buy lures...which I still do now Ahhh....good, good memories
