AKRISONER

perhaps some of the other guys here can back me up, but to put it in perspective, ive fished probably close to 60+ hours in the shallows running spinner baits, top water and cranks this year chasing pike and hoping to get the odd largie and ive only managed two so far this year and one was less than a pound, in comparison to 60+ pike and the numerous smallies ive caught this year. i wouldnt call GB in the parry sound area a great LM fishery. If you want to chase fish in gin clear water, find a shoal surrounded by deep water and drop a drop shot, you will catch smallies, and they will be big.

I love seeing that a guy as spoiled as you :tease:is still able to get fired up about catching big fish.

hey Ohio, I guess its been a while for you, but kenlea is shut down as far as i am aware. The place hasnt been open for a while. its pretty decrepit these days, infact i toss the odd weedless set up amognst their old broken docks and lifts and have pulled out pike from them Id suggest camping at sturgeon bay campground. Only operation now in the area is pleasant cove resort. which is out of your price range. As an FYI the water isnt gin clear in PAB until you get out past barclay island...all of the water inland from barclay is tea stained due to the vegitation and soil on the bottom of the lake. The areas outside of barclay do not contain soil, hence the water remains very very clear. As far as LMB fishing, GB is not neccesarily the place to go to catch largies...id go to the kawarthas to catch largies...if you want smallies though, Not many places beat GB's smalie fishery. (yes all you lake erie guys can sit out in a field and fish smallies, ill stick to the beauty landscape of GB to catch my smallies thank you very much)

I caught a pike this weekend with similar colouration, not as neon, but definitely blue approaching light green. Something is definitely up...? is this just a normal occurance, or is there something causing this?

brian's avatar makes me laugh in a funny and good way...no hate though, i love the toon with the canadian flag.

someone literally posted a thread with a photo of a pike with similar colouration here just last week. Ive caught plenty of pike with Blue tones to them too, no one seems to know why they turn this colour though?

lol for a second i thought you said inches...

ya guys, stop spending so much bloody time running around the bases, some people need to go to bed

yankees down 2-0 in the bottom of the 5th!

if tulo gets his bat going...oh boy just too many threats

Guys dont forget that texas is literally the second best team in baseball right now...and the jays are doing that to them...they were absolutely on fire until running into the heavy bats of the jays.

im gonna vouch for climbing the lookout tower, its a pretty cool view from up there. The park that runs along the water front is also pretty nice and well maintained. could be nice for a bike ride?

I think the jays are finally considered to be the real deal now. Teams are wary of just how powerful they are. I am really really really hoping they can win the division and guarantee themselves at least a series.

i dont know how you kawartha regulars do it...I nearly lost my mind fishing upper buckhorn a few weeks back and its generally the least busy of all the lakes. I cant help but just sit and laugh at the guys with the cigarette boats ripping through the channels...dont we get away from the city and go to the lake to try get away from the obnoxious noise? I guess not all of us. Glad theres none of this Bull up in PAB.

lol The GF and i just got a king bed 3 weeks ago, in the past Cash used to sleep closer to our feet and sneak up closer to our faces after we were asleep, but now because of the gap between her shoulders and mine, well that seems like a perfect place to sit...as always with cash, the closer to your face he can get the better. Many times i have woken up with him nestled under my chin. The worst part is that he sneakily does this stuff while you are fast asleep.

a large portion of ethnic minorities are conservative...which makes sense because you can relate their choice directly back to their place of origin...Canada as a whole is extremely social in comparison to a lot of countries. I am sure many of you have heard the old saying that a democrat in the US is still way more right wing than a conservative in Canada.

Mine has never broken, he still wakes me up 4 nights a week at 4am...hard to not get up with him when he literally stands on top of my chest lol.

Glad to say the very very rare time i keep a fish i only keep fish below the slot and never above.

Lucky you Pete, Im at about cast 9,500 so I should be bang on by the time we get in your boat... I feel your pain Scuro, ive been tossing big baits for 2 years including 2 full days in the kawarthas this year tossing 8's and 10's and still havent even seen one!

my dog makes all sorts of noises when he sleeps, and sometimes smells as well.... last night I woke up at 4:30 am to find his back legs straddling my face...not cool

love photos where the fish is as big as the kid...thanks for the awesomely written report.

thats what 1 ounce spoons and treble hooks are for I was out 2 weeks ago in the middle of a large bay on a small shoal, sure enough a random boat comes up parks nearby...as we are drifting the shoal, the guy makes a b line right to where we were....I immediately started casting towards his boat to let him know, but what an idiot the guy came within 10 yards of us before he got the message as our lures were flying all around him.

with all of this walleye talk, it makes me wonder about the pickerel
