TroutnMuskieHunter

Good one guys!!!....looks like a great day outing! Hmmmmm....so you guys took me up to that Whitie Lake last weekend and we fished an area that doesn't produce eh??? ....I'll remember that come Muskie season

Thanks Simon, you never know...I just might take you up on that sometime this year Bring Jacques with me and Whitespinnerbait ......Jacques would need an Ontario Fishin' license which he's not to KEEN on buyin' ...we discussed this last weekend while fishin' in Quebec ...so if anything, I'd be comin' up with Whitespinnerbait......unless Jacques decides to change his mind after seeing this

Some nice lookin' fish ya got here!!...congrats!

I use to fish Hogs Back falls (part of the Rideau River system) in Ottawa some 39yrs ago for Carp when i was 11yrs old ......there was a small ice cream and chip stand in the area and I would go through the trash and pick out leftover fries for bait....the Carp devoured them!!

Super report Simon!!!......man I wish I was out there with ya!!!

Great topic ...I have a 4x4 Kawasaki 650 BruteForce ATV and it gets me to most of my backwoods lakes almost all year long, except for when we get a winter with lots of snow!! ......the quad is powerful, but the ITP Mudlite tires just dig down in deep snow to a point where the bike gets hung up on the undercarriage and then that's it...you're done!! I also have an older sled that my wife uses now but even then, I've had nightmare trips burying it in deep snow while trying to break trail gettin' into some of the trout lakes. and then having to pull it out .. This is my next purchase for the ATV and then there's no stopping me as far as where I can get to year round!!!... The track kit is a little steep ($3800), but I figure it would cost me around the same $$$$ to buy a used sled.....on top of that I'd have to pay insurance for the sled and then spend the $$$ on yearly maintenance....

I've had my HH Alpha suit for a couple of years now and it's the best bang for your buck!!...I'm 5'11" 210lbs and have an XL.....the L was tight around the armpits... If you're going to buy one from Le Barons ($279), I would recommend buying a Le Baron membership card for $25 when you get up to the cash!! ....this card will get you 10% off on all of your items that you buy there for a full year....right off the bat, the HH suit with the discount will be reduced to $251 And another thing, you really don't have to put layers of clothes on underneath the suit....I normally only wear a long sleeve t-shirt and sweat pants....the suit will keep you extremely warm!!

I own Kamik boots as well....I just replaced the liners last weekend and after 7hrs of fishing in the frigid cold and 5" of top water my feet were toasty.....I also ONLY wear pure wool socks!

Wow...those are some nice eyes Ben!!...what a great part of Ontario to live at and fish in!!!!!

Tell me about it....I drove 5hrs on Saturday for some Whities, and fished for 6 1/2 only to get a couple of hits and a workout walking through knee high snow along with 5" of slush efka, good on ya for stickin' it out!!....nice report and pics

Great report and pics Anders.....man, you guys are diehards!! The tail on that Laker is huge!!...looks out of proportion for the size of the body..

WM, I'm looking forward to seeing your new HDS-7 when we go Salmon fishing together this year..

My condolences Lew...Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! Steve

I had a blast too guys ...missed a couple but hey, that's fishin'... I'm just glad to see that my 8 year old Kamik boots are still kick ...my feet were dry and warm the entire day even after standing in 5" of topwater Paul, Jacques, I'll see you guys here at the house later this afternoon......we'll see if the eyes can co-operate a bit better then the Whities did

Hey Wayne....nice job on the auger mount!! ...looks good

Talk to Paul....

Welcome back bud

Looks good Brian ...I made something similar the other night!!....

Thanks guys... Paul, I'm pumped for some Whitie action this Saturday ......Weather forecast is looking good too!!!!...As far as leaving some Walleye for the amigos, there are LOTS left here in the river ....we should start to see some of the bigger females move in to the area in the next little while Jacques...I haven't caught any Saugers for the past 3 outings now...only Walleye.

Went out around 4:00PM yesterday to enjoy the clear skies and not so windy afternoon.. Drilled a couple of holes and found the weedbed/shoal I normally like to work.. The eyes were hitting hard but that was it....if you weren't on the ball after the first tap they were gone Went 3 for 7 and kept 2 for the fry pan... I was cleaning the last eye and all of a sudden I got lucky and got some free minnows for the salt tub What a difference in weather between yesterday and now!!!.....It's making me think twice about heading out soon

Those are some nice lookin fish Aaron!!...thanks for posting those pics

I like adventure Wayne ....anytime you need a partner to get lost with ya, give me a shout

Hey Kev....I will show you when we go up this Saturday ....yes..I'm going to join the amigos... ...I will bring my "salties"
