I've had a lot more good experiences with CTC as well Jim compared to the odd bad one....Feels good these days when you get the service you pay for doesn't it??....good to know about buying tires from them and their service My F-150 is due for tires...still have the originals on after 70,000km and they're showing their age I can't comment on CAA.. Steve

Nice catch Tom....While I am a bit (maybe more then a bit envious, I'm really looking forward to getting out on the softwater to hunt down some back lake Quebec Reds, Ontario Browns and Rainbows.. Steve

Ya got that right Andrew!!

Way to go guys....nice steelies...

Well... while I didn't get a chance to spend as much time on the ice as I wanted to this season, I made a point to get out Friday after work and Saturday for a couple of hours here on the river before packing the gear away for good... The ice is deteriorating very quickly and the main channel is wide open now from the Chats Falls dam downward...there's still 21" of ice in the bay, but it's not good ice.. So after looking out the window this morning and listening to the forecasted rain this week, I've decided to put the ice gear away and start getting the Trout gear ready Even though I didn't catch many eyes the past couple of days, it was just pure heaven sitting out on the ice, with no one else around, watching and listening to the hundreds and hundreds of geese flying over my head while having a pop or two... Here's a few pic to share... Nothing like being on the ice after a busy week in the office.... Geese coming in to bed for the night on the open water... Beautiful blue sky on Saturday....it was great waking up to the sound of geese flying overhead This little guy decided to come up and say hello... Then, minutes later this little guy followed... The sky was littered with Geese....hundreds of them flying by!! I even had my boys come out to visit me and smell some Pike slime... Home sweet home... The view of the river this morning....the skating rink looks like its done... Here's a few pics from a week ago up at a trout lake....the trout weren't to cooperative but it sure was nice to be up in the bush....the shoreline was really breaking up and the creeks were flowing...there was 2" of black and 4" of white ice making it not to comforting BRING ON THE SOFT WATER!!!!!!!...... Steve

Great thread Bernie!....looks like a real nice business you've got there...I'm kinda curious now, are you between North Bay and Temagami on hwy 11?.....I'm heading up to Temagami June 14th for a week and if you're in that area, I'll try to stop and say hello... Steve

Great looking Pike Larry!!....I had to be content pulling out a few lil ones through the ice over the weekend....

There's no fish fish left in my little lake....I took them all out this winter

Nice truck....the only problem I see with your truck is that it's toooooooo clean for a 4x4..ya need to get some mud and a few scratches on her....Have I ever got a nice back woods speckie lake for you to try with your truck .....I'll bring my tow strap just in case

Great report Ben!!!...nice lookin trout!

I use to buy the Nutro Natural Choice Large Breed for my 2 dogs for years until i came across the Kirkland Chicken and Rice dog food at Costco ....not only is it saving me money but it's healthier for them....the 1st ingredient is Chicken...then Chicken Meal, Whole Grain Brown Rice, Cracked Pearl Barley, etc.....NO CORN filler!!!!! They LOVE it!!

Great report Glen and nice additions for TEAM SLAMMERS ....

Now that's a nice laker Fang!!!...congrats on your PB

Ya got a good point there Drifter....BUT I'll be doing the come softwater season thinkin about you fishing all those awesome Lakes up there

Nice report Glen and keep them fish a-comin' for TEAM#1 !! ....It's always nice to get out with a buddy and spend a day on the water.....I'm doing the same this weekend up at a cabin fishing for Splake with the buds...only difference is we'll be ON THE ICE

Looks like a great rack you built there....I've been thinking about building one myself but I'm a little sceptical on the stability ofthe ATV when going over rough terrain...It sure looks top heavy....have you taking this into consideration??

Your best bet would probably be to go the the Toronto Sportsman show and talk to one of the many fly-in outfitters that will have booths setup there ...

Awesome looking ride Lew!!....hmmmm....maybe you and I should get together and break that boat in with some good ole Ottawa River MUSKIE slime ....it's only a few more months away
