I dunno how much a record fish would bring in Wayne... I have herd tho that in the past that some various stores, mueseums, ect... offer a good dollar for the privilledge of having an original or replica mount in their display....

well even tho I have managed to allready have nearly all of my 2008 fishing gear budget accounted for... I am looking ahead to a purchase I will probably be making this time next year... I would like to get a GPS/Sonar combo for the boat currently I have a Garmin E-Trex Legend CX handheld & a Eagle Fishmark sonar - both are performing well for me, but I feel that due to my style of fishing a nice dual unit will bennefit me much more. I would like to keep the Garmin handheld tho for various reasons, so I would like to have a GPS/Sonar unit that will also support maps forGarmin handheld So I am currently considering a Garmin combo unit, however just about all my partners have Lowrances & I am not too familar with the Garmins.... also I am not sure if there is good legal map software that is compatible with both Lowrance & Garmin units. I would like to be able to store & transfer tracks/waypoints between both units.... so does anyone have any suggestions/ideas that could help me out? Like I said, Ive got about a year or so to "shop around" thanks in advance...

Excellent! I'm in!

whaddya say DanC? already looking forward to next season with the many more changes coming......

only got up to our trailer once for a weekend in June & it was the best walleye action ive experieneced in 15 yrs

does anyone remember or have a photo of that jumbo perch that Dip Lip flilleted up at Lakir in '06? Cant describe how he did it, but sure was different I have an electric knife - used to hate cleaning the 9-10" perch, now its sooo quick & easy

as of now, its a solid 9 outta 10 have been out almost every week of the year so far, very few skunks a coupla PBs some success with new spots & new techniques only some minor gear/equipment failures introduced a few "newbies" to the sport and have gotten out with many other friends cant wait for 08, but still have 2 months to finnish 07 on a strong high note....

I too would possibly be able to make it - 20 minutes from home for me... Saturdays are usually better for me...

Lowrance makes an excellent fixed model with all the features any angler would need LB's lists them at $120 - ask your local shop to match that price - mine did

facebook site is a great way to re-connect with fellow co-workers, classmates, neighbours, ect.... this summer an ol highschool pal & I have gone out fishing a few times together for the 1st time since grade 11 I agree with planning for tommorow & living for today

what Rick said - I too am happy in Niagara - 2 great lakes and the Niagara river

I hope that the project will be a success. Personally, I think Simcoe as a Lake was doing quite well without muskie and that there are already many healthy waterbodies with good muskie populations surrounding Simcoe. I just think that the man hours, $$$ & fundraising efforts could probably have been put towards something else that might be a little more important/neccessary/significant then this. Once again I do hope it works & that the time money &efforts will not have gone to waste.

confidence definetly a must to have for all species good on ya for finally getting that boat slimey there Wayne

thanks for sharing Brian - allwayts some outstanding numbers/results come from that tourny we were on a different end of Simcoe yesterday... managed a good haul of perch & was off just as it was beginning to blow up

my current rig I have dubbed "Free Time" as our family expands & when the time comes to upgrade to something bigger, ive got the next name allready picked out: "Dawg Pound"

accudepths SUCK! Okuma's all the way for me

what Terry said

rods - nope reels - had a rivet that holds the bail pop out - they replaced it for me nice little units for the price & you gotta luv CT

hey Mo almost 3 years to the date I had mine done. Lasik MD in Niagara Falls. My procedure was a little different as I had a stigmatism, but it has been a positive experience thus far, no night vision problems at all either. Same story for my father (mid 50's) as well

almost allways rod holders (Down Easters) 2 exceptions though.... a) I am finesses trolling and need to feel my bait regularly making bottom contact, as wel as the soft pick up of a fish I will do some musky trolling with the rod in my hand generally if I am fishing less then 15 FOW & weeds are present, depending on the pull of the bait - it helps to feel when I pick up the green stuff and you really cant beat feeling the strike in your hands as opposed to "watching" it!

two spots i can think of... Buckhorn General store & just down the road on the other side of the locks, there is a small Ma & Pop bait shop near 3 Castles...

sometimes when I see the "support our troops" ribbon stickers on vehicles, I sometimes think that I am seeing Spindoctors

Hey folks, please pardon my lack of posting for the last while... have been hitting the water hard every week of late, i'll get around to throwing up some photos sometime soon.... today was a great day though - my new fishing buddy & first child for my wife & I was born this afternoon here's Jeffrey 8lbs 14oz & 20 1/4" we're allready swapping lies! gotta go to the garage now & find a way to secure the car seat to the Crestliner

I think of you, Rebecca & that day often Gerritt that was the 1st day that I logged on to the OFC board to have a little look around. I then realized that this site was a little bit deeper then "just a fishing board". It also reminds me of how nearly 3 1/2 yrs ago, that my family lost or only daughter/sister at the age of 17 in a trgic auto-accident. Many of us here have lost some family memebers earlier then planned & feel the same pain. I'll be thinking of you tommorow bud.

Allways enjoy your report Erik thanks for sharing
