sounds like me, where region do you reside in?

you have 9 posts and are expecting people to help you out...as far as Im concerned you are just another catch and kill troller until proven otherwise. Trust me, the people on this website are far from rude, some can be salty, but man up and laugh it off. My experience on this forum has been nothing but positive, and trust me, ive caught many a fish including a few legit trophies that would have never been caught without the direct help of some of our board members. So thats saying something right there.

work...thats about it people like different things, but why the hell anyone lives in southern ontario making crap money is beyond me. Seriously, if you dont actually have a really good job theres no reason to be here at all. I heard just last week that town houses are approaching half a mill in brampton...I would literally rather die than live in brampton...

Exactly....i dont think these guys are in tune with the fact that the old lady is actually the bread winner of the family. She gets a say in any decisions we make for obvious reasons. She also works harder at her career than i do so I need to respect that.

usually im sitting out there thinking...ok it takes me 10-15 to get home...how long until the storm is 10-15 away so that I can arrive on my dock and run to the house as the rain starts falling lol. Last year on buckhorn I said "Lets go!!!!" and Dave said "one more cast" that one more cast ended up with us being caught in torrential downpour in a golf cart as we drove it back up to his trailer from the docks lol boy did we catch a lot of bass though

lol cliff arent you the one thats selling the house on the lake? and weve already had the talk about it, currently her career wouldnt allow for her to make a move like that, and its a bit ridiculous to ask someone to give up their career to go and sit up north and do nothing. She already knows that once its time to have kids etc, then we will definitely be moving somewhere much quieter

if only the fiance would let me do this lol i tried to convince her to move to my home town Flin Flon manitoba, i had a good job lined up and everything but no dice lol.

The cold front pre-fish is definitely a tried and tested pattern for me as well. Especially if you are fishing before a summer electrical storm, the bite will always be insane.

as much as these threads are garbage...they are funny and totally have their place on this forum. Theres always a few golden comments worth the laughs

we were definitely catching both...the saugers seemed to be co-existing with the big walleyes no problem. They were hanging around and following us up and down all day and then every so often a big walleye would show up and eat.

anyone with any knowledge also willing to back this statement up... Roy im not taking away from your statement, i hope you agree because you have caught sauger yourself many times! I am just looking to fully confirm this.

there are large fish...and also small fish in that exact spot...1 inch either way and there are no fish to be found.

you tell me...looks pretty saugerish to me! But i know pretty much nothing about sauger except they dont have the white tip on the tail and they have blotches like this fish.

lol restart at ice off im still hearing of everyone around saying this past weekend was the best fishing of the whole winter. We just realized today that all of the small pickerel we were catching were actually sauger! sweeeettt

This thread might be short lived...it may be long, but i can honestly say something clearly was going on in Southern Ontario this past weekend. The amount of reports I am seeing pop up with solid results is perhaps the highest I have ever seen on this forum... I was lucky enough to be out on GB and we absolutely hammered em too we even wet a line for 3 hours on Sunday and went 6-7 while losing a 20+lb pike while trying to get it through an 8 inch hole...yikes! Anyone else here not posting full blown reports but that had success this past weekend? Holy cow.

Something was in the air on sunday in ontario...everyone seems to have absolutely killed it!

my only tip is to drive slow homie! you can lose a leg in a minute on those lakes.

ahhh im so busy at work i dont have time at the moment to reply to this stuff, but the info you are tossing out is friggin gold. Jedi whats your take on float reels? This is just the kind of info ive been looking for. Its hard to find exactly what models guys are using in order to be able to handle these fish. I personally see myself mostly casting rivers for steel and salmon from shore and wading. Definitely am going to save up some pennies and do a sturgeon guide, its pretty much a must. Any reco's on a steel/salmon guide? the closer to burnaby i can fish the better!

entered and spread the link! cant pass up on the slight chance at the opportunity of a lifetime that I would never ever have the chance to fulfill on my own. Unreal.

This.... wow man this information is incredible. The Fiance is running low on time, I will have to see if she can go get the driver history asap. I currently dont own a car, the car is in her name and she is taking it out there next weekend. I will still be around a little longer, this whole non residency thing is irking me hard! It basically seems like no matter what I wont be able to fish in BC for six months...ouch. Ill drop you a PM to get your digits so that i can give you a shout if I have any questions. Im not a hunter so no worries there!

bare, you will be getting a lengthy PM shortly lol

the sky train is a total breeze compared to the joke that is the streetcar/subway It currently takes me 45-55 minutes to travel 5 kilometers to work every day...brutal...hence i started riding a bike to work to avoid the gongshow. those that are in the know are getting a PM big time! and thanks Mike, I know you have some experience in the whole follow your dream deal! good on ya!

Well guys, It is with much excitement, but also much sorrow that the fiance and I have made the decision to make the big move to the Burnaby Coquitlam area of British Columbia. It has been a dream of Becky and I to live in the mountains some day for many years and a job opportunity has presented itself, Becky and I are recently engaged, have no kids, and are making good money for our age. The window to do crazy stuff without disrupting a family etc is quickly closing so we are taking the dive. I dont believe the move will be permanent because at the end of the day when it comes time to start up a family of my own, I believe that having our brothers, sisters and parents around will be critical to our hypothetical kids and those positives will far exceed any love that I will have for living in the mountains. In no particular order the things I will miss the most are; My few close friends that I have here My family and 100% most of all my cottage and boat in Pointe Au Baril The things I wont miss; Congestion in Toronto and the complete lack of a proper transit system the people of the GTA (this excludes the majority of people here, but i think you know what im talking about) The utter desolate corn field that is Southern Ontario The heat The Toronto Weather (yesterday was a perfect example...it doesnt get much worse than snow...and then 1 degree and pouring rain all day at least when it rains in Vancouver its 10 degrees with no wind) The things I am most looking forward to: My home snowboarding hill being Whistler and Mount Baker (i like snowboarding probably as much as fishing, so thats saying something) The ability to drive 15 minutes and be in the mountains without a city or sound in sight Hiking Learning to River fish in my local neighborhood (not pier fish like the majority of SO opportunities lol A proper transit system That being said, this past fall I took it upon myself to learn to river fish, im getting a little better with time, however fishing 6 times doesn't make a pro. Everyone out west just seems to fly fish, but a lot of reading I am doing is also saying that plenty of guys cast spoons for the wild salmon runs and even for steel. I know that in Ontario, plenty of people love to centrepin a float or simply cast using the long noodle rods. Does anyone around here have any experience fishing the river systems in BC? I am completely in the dark aside from what info i can read on the internet. I have been sleuthing, but the hardest part thus far has been finding any information about what the hell kind of gear people are using out there. Any info you guys can provide is greatly appreciated. If anyone is willing to point me in a direction in regards to what rivers in the lower main land to try out that be extra awesome. I am even willing to trade spots!
