veerrrrry interesting! *note to self: buy noodles and dye

Hmmmmm...with this freezing cold weekend, I'd stick to noodles and rye myself

Congrats....looks too good to be sittin' in a driveway

Check your PM Paul...... I'm ready if your are

I'm heading out at 3:30....they'll hit a bit later today because of the bright skies

Well Leechman Fish-Finder and 24/7 are not getting to your place unless '' WHITESPINNERBAIT '' brings them :P

Sorry Paul ...not enough coffee in me in this morning......LEECHMAN, WHITESPINNERBAIT AND FISHING 24/7....how's that dude??

Really? Wow that's awesome, good job! (may have to fish the Ottawa it seems )

It's a bit of a trek for you Mike, but anytime you want, you're more than welcome to come out!!...I don't have my shack out this year but I have keys to 2 of my buddies or just drive the truck out like I do away from the crowds

Great report Mike!!

Thanks guys!!...

WE had another wild afternoon yesterday.....12 eyes between 3 of us!!

Hoping to get out later today and tomorrow morning to try a little deeper shoal I know for some big ones ......I heard a rumour that Leechman, Fish Finder and Fishing 24/7 may be paying me a visit sometime this weekend as well...

Beauty fish Jack and a GREAT contribution for the team!! .......

Whether's it's truely a World record or not....one thing's for sure....IT'S A BIG MUSKIE and probably the biggest I've seen so far....

Good ones!!

 

If you dont mind my asking, were you jigging deep or shallow?

16 - 18FOW

I have fished lakers more in the Haliburton area and aftr dark all we ever catch is Ling.....and a buzz

 

RR

Hey RR,

I must have fished the same lakes as you because that's all I've ever caught after dark as well...A BUZZ and dirty ole Ling in 80FOW!! ....but from reading some replies, i think I'll give it a try again, in the 50FOW range..

Those Whities look nice!!!...congrats on a great day out on the ice

Decided to hit the river yesterday afternoon to take advantage of the warmer temps and see if I could raise a few eyes for dinner..

Got set-up around 4:00PM and shortly afterwards, it was non stop action ...I was off the ice by 5:30PM with a 5 out of 8 record...The bigger eyes were caught aggressively jigging a spoon tipped with a full size golden shiner....the Windlass tip-up had a jig head and same size shiners, but produced much smaller eyes...

I kept 2 for dinner and threw the others back for a chance to grow bigger...

Wow...those are some real beauties .....congrats!!

I worked from home today amd started watching the Inaugation at 10:00AM with my wife...

Quiet an impressing man Mr. Obama is to say the least!!

Congrats JM on your first ever Laker!!!!....what a great lookin fish!!!.....now you're hooked ...welcome to the troutin' club

What a great report!!...awesome country and beauty trout!!...thanks for sharing those photos!

Great topic.....

I can vouch for what works here on the Ottawa R....SHINERS....Golden or Emerald, they both produce...

Here's some pics of the "hat trick" I got a couple of hours ago using Shiners

a good camera man never leaves his post !!!

lol ....that's exactly what I was thinking Wayne!!

I was gonna mention gas line anti-freeze as well....sounds like you've got some water in your gas....

Was it stored indoors or out and when did it start acting up????

Most trucks have tie down points on the insides of the box....

Tie a rope or cable across the tie down points at the front of the box and attach a pulley to it and then to your snowblower...then it's just a matter of slowly letting it go down your ramps..

Hey, Steve does Maria know that the 3 Amigo's offered to help you cut the wood ...

OK Paul, let's get it done next Saturday....7:00AM?????

Thanks guys..... for those who notice saugers in the pics are right. Steve's first and third and my 15"er

Jacques mon chum....I wasn't going to burst your bubble last night after seeing that smile on your face but today's a different story

The WALLEYE skunk is still on ......Sauger, Perch and Walleye all belong to the same family but are different!!!

We can't bring the cigars out yet until we see you holding a true Walleye

The 'eye in the 6th picture down i'm pretty sure is a sauger. A few of the others have the characteristics as well. What ever they are congrats. Take a look at athis, go back and catch some more, then let me know if they are sauger or walleye lol. Fishing in the name of science.

 

-Dave

Dave, 2 out of the six little dinks were Saugers

Jacques, I had a blast with you and Paul and you're both more then welcome to come out to the house next weekend for another kick at the can....I'm sure Kevin will join us this time as well!!! I will be out all weekend and every afternoon this week

Nice job Jaques, wish I could stand the cold but I am a wuss. I do want to get out and fish but not unless it is in a warm comfy shack where I can catch a variety of fish BUT NOT PAN FISH! Steve have you put your shack out? I do have the gps contour depth charts for Constance bay along with several waypoints. One of them is a go to spot not far from the creek the enters the bay.

 

Good job again guys.

Don, no shack this year ....I still have over 90 eight foot logs that are stacked up in front of the shack that are blocking access for me to pull it out ..... and now I have to keep listening to my darling wife's favorite saying "I told you so"....The plan was to cut and split the rest of the load of firewood once I couldn't get out on the softwater any more...I kinda got into a trance of seeking Muskie every weekend including a few trips to Quinte...Maria kept saying "you better finish cutting your wood before it gets too late", but who listens to their wives? Then we got that huge dump of snow followed by +10 degree highs then -20 lows and I'm stuck looking at a bunch of frozen logs until the spring!!

Come on out next weekend with the lads!!....if it's too cold you can fish out of your truck with the door open!!
