ya it is too bad that we pay rediculous prices for the booze... living close to the border i too often bring some beer back across - never noticed a huge difference it taste... think it may depend more on how fresh it is i too am watching the left turn derby as well for a bit before i sneak out for some fish'n Jimmys holding the lead so far...

pack an extra memory stick & batteries Dan

totally agree - unless your out for just "having a good time" you definetly have to adapt & work - from this you'll learn more, gain more confidence & in turn, eventually produce good consistent results

Johhny, I admire the amount of water you cover - keep at 'er!

well said there Boostnawd there's only soo much spare time nowadays for the computer... the few moment i get i'll share specific info with a close network of pals I can trust & and as well through PM's

the Carters do run a fine operation up there for sure - glad you all had a nice week any crappies caught at all?

gonna have to STRONGLY disagree with ya Pete

figured as much I too am gonna be shopping around - have everything currently w/ Bell, no real issues thus far except a ) I know i could be paying less with different carriers/providers b ) hate the fact that one of the biggest Canadian compaines who with there "beaver commercials" portraty themselves as "Canadian", are sending all the jobs to India & such....

it is what it is i rarely vent at all on here & i dont consider the following to be a "vent' or "rant" just the way i see it in my own opinion the board has changed alot - ive been a "member" here going on nearly 5+ years now & yes ive done Lakair trip once, the BOQ group trip once,the 1st Simcoe ice trip (ran by Pigeonfisher, refreshments provided by Csico ) 2 of the old January Nip Trips at Rob Hyatts (too bad these trips dont happen anymore) and numerous other one day outtings alot of very good anglers who once contributed alot of very usefull fishing related info & reports are no longer active... thats the fishing side of it.... but with that some folks have gotten to know each other quite well & with that alot of folks have benefitted greatly from various friendships made here yes i still come back here time to time to see whats going on... but is OFC my main "fishing board"? no its not... as many others i have invested a fair amount of blood, sweats, tears, time & money into this hobby & there are other sites out there that cater to those who share the same passion.... its still a great place to shoot the bull & what not not & yes there are some very excellent people around here no doubt (both mods/admin & contributors/members)

good job there boyz

http://www.naturalwondersangling.com/ there ya go - Joe will take care of everything for ya!

Thermocline & temp breaks

dont read many/buy/subscribe to many new ones anymore either I do have boxes of issues tho... maybe 300-400 of em... internet is definetly the way to go now i gotta say.... Great Lakes Angler is among my favourite active mags nowadays tho... as is Ontario Out Of Doors

ahh dang committed to a tourny that same Saturday... have fun folks...

FYI : in some of the major great lakes salmon tournaments, there is a "no communication" rule ( ie VHF radios, cell phones, text messaging)

16' all the way get it as deep & wide as possible - will make a world of difference

a) Babe Winkleman - one of the good' ol boys - allways loved his shows & videos - no one can touch his hair, huge coffee mug & giant sunglasses! Banjo minnow DOES catch fish - allmost as fun as a Senko to fish with

get the Lowrance fixed mount - LBs has the best price - some places will be willing to match it

congrats on the good finish and to clarify for those wondering, none of the fish were wasted

for the longest time i was big into bass/muskie/pike ect... now witrhout a doubt its trolling the big water for salmon, trout & some walleye as well.... nothing beats a 10lb steelhead doing cartwheels 100ft behind the boat before it even pops a release & or a 20 something pound salmon violentinly smashing a wire dipsy diver set-up

so its ok for cats to be covered in grass & mud, but not steelhead? just kidding - nice cats Rich - I hope to set some time aside this spring to target them

Dan - what waters will you be fishing & what are the target species?

ahh yes Percy, been a while nice job dooGGles

mmmmm beer Creemore, Keiths, Guiness, Killkenny are my faves to have at the pub usually in my fridge you'll see Labatt 50, John Labatt classic, Muskoka lager and now that the sun is out more often: Brava!
