My dad died of an abdominal aneurysm in 2020. He didn't have any warning. I just remember all the good times we had together to help me get through the loss.

If you are into Muskie fishing, fish around Ant Island and the north shoreline in South Bay. There is also good bass fishing on the west side of Grand Island. My dad caught a 45 inch Muskie where south bay starts but that was over 30 years ago.

I think they should be given a bill. Other emergencies are billed to the person. I was hit by a drunk driver that left me paralyzed from the waste down. I had to pay a bill to be air lifted even though I did nothing wrong.

What a sicko. Glad that you did what you did not only for your property and cam, but for this guy pray on young defensive kids. You're were right when you said you had to limit what you say here. We don't need guys like this having the case thrown out and his guy walking the streets.

I'm glad all ended well and you are safe!!!

This is the same thing that happens with cell phone. That was the 1st time I herd of them telling people not to leave them on the charger when they are full charge. I was lucky that my Galaxy 8 never caught fire. I left it plugged in whenever it was not in use, which was most of the time. The only thing that happened was the battery expanded to the point that I had to use tape to hold it together.

This happened in the Great Ontario Salmon Derby quite a few years ago. Sadly the people had the case thrown out of court. It was when the Toronto Sun use to run the derby.

Nice fish!!! In case you don't know it, you sound like a poet. Thanks for the humorous post, it made me choke on my toast. ©¿©

Not a good response from a so called businessman. I hope no one books with him when he does decide to open. I would have said well then I won't be spending money here.

The lockdown may have changed the ice fishing season when it comes to the hut rental businesses. I found this: https://floydhalesfishhuts.com/

Hmmm I guess the link I clicked on above sent me to the dark depth of the net or I just kept reading far past your fall muskie report lol I'd like to forget them too. They mangled my good wire made worm harnesses lol.

Nice story and amazing fish. The story about the eels brought back memories of catching them in The Bay of Quinte. Though suckers put up a good fight but hard to unhook while trying to prevent them from wrapping around your arm lol

Wow nice catch. This is the 1st year I never caught a fish since I can remember, but, I only got out 2 days for a total of 4 hours. Hopefully 2021 will be more productive. I don't plan on missing opening walleye season again this year.

Nice work Brian My late father use to tie flies. He had a vase full of peacock feathers that he used on some of his work.

We have them at the cottage. They helped us out removing 2 tree stumps after we had to cut down 2 white birch trees. I took pics of it but they turned out blurry.

That is so sad that they have so many cases there after going this long with no cases. I was polling for them to keep the perfect record of no cases.

I totally agree. I think that all those people that sold their homes to move into those cubby hole condos down town are kicking themselves in the butts. I think they are the ones selling the condos and moving north so they can have the open yards to sit in. I have a bigger 1970's 3 bedroom condo with a den close to the lake, parks and lake Ontario boat launch that I've been thinking of putting up for sale and either buying north or build a year round place where my cottage is. I'm not a traveler outside of Canada and always wanted to live in the country.

Well tell Ford, Kenny and the rest of the provincial merry man to quit asking for more money and there wouldn't be such a large spending spree. lol

I cottage neighbor own a marina and fixes boats . He was telling me that it is the best time to sell used boats for up to double of the price. He said that people are taking the money they saved up to travel around the world and buying boat and other toys thanks to Covid. Same goes for cottages as all the people that sold their houses and bought those little closet size condos in Toronto are selling them and buying up the house up north of TO. I never seen so many places up buy my cottage sell so fast. There were houses for sale for years that sold right up to and over $1M .

Sure it does. that is BOB protecting his hidden stash 😮

Great story, great fish pics great scenery makes for a win win win!!!

Balsam Lake is a good lake and campground but book early. If you plan on taking out a canoe, keep an eye on the weather. The lake can get pretty rough in a hurry. Been tossed around many times in that lake in a 14 foot fishing boat over the 50 years I've been going there. If the water gets rough you can hit the Gull river and canoe up fishing for good bass action or if you go around May 24, the walleye most years are fantastic.

Wow nice season of fish. Some pretty nice catches.

Nice, I am still looking to catch my 1st muskie.

The trout run in the spring and the Salmon run in the fall up Etobicoke creek. A friend of mine caught a 40 Pounder just past the pier on the Etobicoke side. They run up the creek but they couldn't get up the broken dam because the water was too shallow. I seen a guy catch them and release them up above the dam. There is no dam there. I think a lot of people complained about the fish not being able to get past the dam. They had taken the wood out so now the fish can happily swim up the river. I don't know if it is illegal to fish there or not or if they are still running around the mouth up to the dam or not. If I get a chance tomorrow or Tuesday, I'll go check. I live right beside the river just off Lakeshore Rd. Health issue keep me indoors most Mondays.
