Great report Glen!!....64F eh???....now that's balmy weather compared to the -13C up around these neck of the woods this morning .......No skin pics????

I finally pulled the pontoon boat out of the river was a sad day!!.....but, now I'll put the 14' Smokercraft in until ice up ....here's a shot of what the weather's like...

Steve

First thing I told him Dawg ! ... just lucky I'd left a coat hanger in my spare floater suit.. and that they had a lad that grew up in Smiths Falls available to help them out and a lad from Ottawa (Lloyd) that took over to finish the job when my hands went numb.

Wow...the luck of the Irish to have a metal coat hanger and in the truck to boot!!...It's been years since I've seen those metals ones...the wife threw them all out and replaced them with plastic ones

Regarding the hands gettin' numb thing Wayne...is that because of old age or the cold???

Congrats on your PB.....great report!

Awesome report Bud!!....those are some nice lookin' eyes!!!.....Heading down with a friend this Wednesday for a day trip and we hope the bite is still on

Great pics and report Mike!! ....I guess you had a good sleep after counting those Sheeeeeeeeeeep

Looks a like another good time had by all!!

Great report guys....I love the look of that Brown!!

Wow....now that's a bad fortune report!!!.....question is: Were you able to recover the lures outa the garbage???

Great report and pics....looks like a nice snack of perch ya got there

All we got was rain yesterday and this morning there's a few flakes of snow coming down here in the Ottawa Valley I guess the inevitable winter weather is slowly creeping up on us

The forecast this week shows a few day high temps of below zero...guess I'll head out for some Muskie huntin' this afternoon and tomorrow morning before having to pull my "gal" outa the river and put her to sleep for the winter

Grass is still green though this morning

Nice day you guys had out there Don...the fish were on, the winds were low, the temps were in the double digits.....what more could ya ask for

NIce pics...

Billy Bones and I are headin' down to Quinte this Wednesday...sure hope they stay hungry

I quit cold turkey 9 yrs ago.....never looked back after that other than to kick myself in the arse for being such a moron...give yourself some type of a reward for accomplishing such a hard habit to break!!...I put the money that i saved aside and i was able to buy a new ATV

You're doing great bud!!!....keep it up!!

I'll be out again tomorrow to see if i can get another lunge to make it 4 Sundays in a row ...

Good luck guys and lookin' forward to the report!!...I'll definately jump in on the bandwagon next year!!

I would go the Napanee route...it's a lot quicker...exit 579 off the 401

Now that's what i call a GREAT day on the water .....good job fishnsled!!....those are some nice lookin' ski's!!!.....

After reading your report and seein those fish, I think I'll take the afternoon off today and head out on the river

Oh and DANG... Headhunter wanted us to drop by for a visit... you gonna have some Rum too ?? Dano can drive us back to Napanee......

Hey Wayne, I'll try to find the number of the local Picton taxi co. that we used last week to transport us in and out of town....

Price was reasonable...my buddy didn't care too much for the driver, but I thought she was ok, besides having no teeth, wearing an old leather Davey Crocket jacket with frills, smelled like an ashtray and drove 100km in a 50km zone through the outskirts of town

Holy Crap!!!....that is ONE NICE BOW!! ...congrats!

Great report guys!!

Ted...now that's bold

A dog or 3 is the best burgular alarm there is, most theives won't even go near a place that has a loud dog.

Try getting close enough to mine to even throw her a milk bone, let alone trying to get her to eat it.

Us rednecks have more in common that we thought eh Glen?

Steve!!!!! Get back to work buddy ! lol

Wayne....you sound like my wife!!!

Dogs won't say much with a mouthful of Milkbones..

Try feeding my dogs and see if they'll eat from a stranger ....

Sorry to hear about your misfortune.....THANK GOD, I have two large dogs that seem to hear a pin drop outside even when they're inside with the windows closed ....they drive the wife and I crazy at times, but we sleep with peace at night knowing we have our two protective boys on gaurd

Got out on the water at 8:00AM this morning to enjoy the end of this past week's Indian summer weather....I trolled for ~ 1hr and found that the baitfish were nowhere to be seen....water temp was 43F...

Decided to move out into deeper water and lower my trolling speed to 3mph.....I'm glad I did

Was able to have some fun with this healthy 45" x 20" gal....nice fall fatty for sure!!...a quick pic and off she went back into the river!!

Gotta luv fall fishing!

Now, gotta get back to raking leaves again....

We headed towards eastern Ontario very early yesterday morning for some muskies and really lucked out on the weather.

 

We drove thru rain on the way out, but it cleared before we launched the boat and we fished dry all day with a mix of sun and cloud, although it got VERY windy as the day wore on and made boat control tough, but it was still warm enough that neither of us wore a coat and we didn't even bother putting up the top on the boat.

 

We loaded the boat at the end of the day and as we were heading home last night the rain started again.

 

Rain while were in the car, but sun in the boat....Doesn't get much better than that !!

But how was the fishing Lew???
