Thanks Lew...I'll take a look. I checked out Boats.com but didn't see anything that caught me eye..

I'm starting to look for a larger used fishing boat (preferably in the US) for next season and I'm wondering if anyone has some links they can send me.... Thanks.

Nice lookin' skies Pete...congrats...I'm not a fan of cradles nor can I use them out of the pontoon boat because of being so high up from the surface...I've had zero issues using my Frabil Big Game net...

Muskies, Muskies and more Muskies here on the Ottawa R....well maybe the odd walleye too ....my daughter's up from Georgia with the baby and son-in-law and wants to spend the day out on the boat Monday to get a nice skie!!....I'm heading out in a couple of minutes Have a great Thanksgiving weekend everyone and play safe out there!!

My thoughts are with you and your wife Big Cliff!..good to hear that she is back home with you for the time being..My wife and I will send a prayer your way...

It was great to meet you Jesse...too bad we weren't able to hook into one but the conditions weren't the greatest....at least we got into some nice channel cat action for the last stretch of the outing Try and get up again in Novemeber and we'll have a blast!!!!.....I'm also lookin' forward to coming down to Barrie for some ice fishing!! Take care bud!!!

Beaver Lodge eh???....do they serve food and drinks there to????

I think OFC is awesome and I've met quite a few great bunch of people!!!!....I don't post as much as I could or should, but I try and contribute when I can!!!.....

Thanks Roy!! You're not that far of a drive from Ottawa ....the Muskie fishing is only going to get better as fall approaches......you're more than welcome to come out for a Muskie hunt with me between now and first ice

Thanks guys!!,,,, ehg...the fish was just over 40" and is the smallest I've caught so far on the river. That's the reason for the "little" fish saying ... Sorry for the blurred shot, but my wife borrowed the camera and left it in Landscape Mode which has a really slow shutter speed!!!...I didn't realize this until I got home and downloaded the picture

After working around the house all day, I decided to go for a little Muskie hunt after dinner to wind down and enjoy the end of the beautiful day we had.....the barometer was falling and even though there was a brisk East wind, I managed to lure this little guy into the boat .....

Hey Jacques.....quit being soooooo lazy and go walk across your front lawn and knock on Paul's door to wish him a B'day in person!!!!!!

Thanks guys..... ehg, it was 46"...

Hey Don, The summer (WHAT SUMMER??????) has been hectic between work and getting things done around the house...I stripped and stained the entire cedar posts and rails around the deck this year which took forever using a 4 1/2" hand grinder.... I'm sure we'll get together soon between fishing Quinte for eyes or here for the Muskies till ice up...

hope my wife doesn't read this or I'll get an whoopin'

I unpacked and put all the gear away from the trip up to Temagami and flipped a coin later this morning whether to sit and watch Coronation Street with my sweetie or go out and try hunting down a Muskie.....the coin toss won the Muskie outing so out I went..... Not sure but this gal may have been hooked before as her upper lip line pretty scarred....

HOLY Crapola Mike .....that is ONE NICE BASS!!!!....congrats on your new PB!!! I love the fact that you're holding that fish close to your body as opposed to the "extended arm" shot !!!!...it is definately a HOG!!!!

Thanks Joey....I didn't mind the jackets as much as the friggin' wierd wind.....one minute from the west, then south, then north.....I prefer cooler temps as there were minimal mosquitoes... Thanks Kevin....you should come up with me next year!!....you would fall in love with this lake and there are huge smallies but I don't fish them!!

.....now that's funny Glen!!!......but, just think how much quicker ya coulda ran if you stopped smokin'

Hey Rob.....drop me a pm when you're headin up for the hard water fishing...I'm thinking about planning two trips this winter....one on Temagami and the other on Diamond Lake... Steve

That's awesome Tony!!!!!!!.....congrats on winning that super prize!!!!!

That's awesome Gerritt.....what a nice memory for your GF

Nice report Joey....looks like some nice fish were caught!!....We were up at Temagami Lake last week and I can definately relate to the mixed bag of weather you had all week!!!

Send me a pm of the dates you're in town along with a phone#

Never used the downriggers and the wind wouldn't let up to vertical jig....steel line and lead core was the winning combination...
