Georgian Bay or some part of Lake Ontario now its just a matter of someone finding it among the vast blue & then landing it

tiller for me as well: 16.7 & 30hp suits me fine for now -very versatile, great lakes trolling or shallow bass'n - later on sometime it'll be a 18 footer with a full console

fire things up with some AC/DC, continue on with some of The Who, Boston, Tom Cochrane, & wind down with Neil Young. As far as fishing songs go Van Morrison's "the Water" , Max Webster's "Million Vacations", & Stompin Tom's "Ballad of the Coho"

this winter i bought a bunch of old spoons & flashers off Ebay for pretty cheap - I then stripped 'em all bare & re-painted & prism taped them to my own patterns. A nice way to pass some time. Just waiting for the sun to come out so I can try them on those salmon & trout!

its been said before Mo: "Good things happen to good people" and "pay it forward"

another fine running by 3 of the Hendrick's boyz!

its the "I dont have anything better to do, so I am gonna poo-poo on your hobby that I really dont care or know much about" bylaw

the guy on the right sorta looks like crappiesteve

March Madness (College basketball tournament) Selection Sunday is today!

couldnt take it any longer, after 68 long days of garage hibernation, the boat got wet again - found a usable launch & fired things up for another softwater season was a tough go, but near the end of the day we avoided the skunk with this red-cheeker a few more weeks of trout before the salmon arrive ( water temps pending of course)

aint nothing wrong with Labatts 50! I am a "young gun" and I enjoy it

some fine people running that store - all the best to you & the old man Gavin

yahhh baby!!!! see ya Sunday perhaps Gav

I am also a big fan of Gander Mountaiwe have one about 1/2 hr away in Niagara Falls, NY. About half the driving distance to Bass pro Toronto - only bummer is bringing it across the border & duty great selection, great service & not jacked up prices, & some good "bin deals" they had some "proven" muskie baits real cheap there last spring & they also carry everything I need for great Lakes trolling

Shimano TDR excellent all-round rod comes in different lengths & actions & a great price/warranty I Dont totally see the need to spend big dollars on trolling rods - your seeing the hits in the hold holder, not feeling or detecting 'em by touch. I would rather spend the extra on a solid reel with a really good drag system & high retrieve ratio (that Sealine is a good choice!) the only time I would spend a little more on a trolling rod is when pulling divers for salmon - those Talora's are the catts ass apparently. Also dont buy cork, ya they look nicer, but its not neccessary

I cant wait any longer - getting my boat out this weekend!

I am with Roger, Sugarloaf has a nice launch. So does Port Dalhousie - 4 ramps, 2 in, 2 out, all concrete, long floating docks, lotsa free & fairly secure parking - its gotta be among the best ramps in Ontario

Well our honeymoon was a "fishing-moon" in Kirkland Lake - not a bad way to spen your first week together huh? Every so often i can get Andrea to come along with me - I took her out to a local mud puddle last summer & she whupped me using a float & worm while i pitched artificals looking for the big one really wanna get her on a leaping/screaming salmon this spring - dunno if it'll scare her sh*tless or if she's gonna wanna come out every time afterwards?

dpends on the waterbody I am fishing I fish the Kawartha's a fair bit & as we know, sometimes it can be tough, other times not... so I am pretty slective up there - but if I am entertainig guests & we're joensing for a shorelunch i'll give the eyes a break & keep some small bass (when in season) or crappies & give'em a break But if I am fortunate enough to limit out on a fishery like Erie or Nippissing ( not very hard these days) i'll definetly take home my legal amount because that waterbody can handle it nothing wrong at all with a legal limit of walleye (pickeral!)- its all about personal preference & respect for the waterbody

Ice is better to have earlier then later Roger. In many areas next week, seasons close & permament huts have to come off. Ive only been on the ice a handful of times this winter - this weekend I'll be finding an open launch & putting the boat in

Well I cant help but be a bit biased. Some are born Catholics, others Protestants... I was born into a GM family. Currently driving a '05 Jimmy & am very happy with it 30,000km in. My wife however work for Toyota & I gotta admitt, those Tundras are sweet. Apparently they cant be kept on the yard long enough to ask for a test drive...do i dare cross the final frontier and own an import?? i dunno.... I'd hate to be written out of my father's will

i dont know FF the fella i worked with had been in the industry for 25+ yrs he said it didnt matter the matterial or colour he also told me never to get carpet proffesionally cleaned all at once - reason being thatwhen you do, the manufacturers protectent would get removed - instead he said to "spot clean" - this is only what ive been told, not my own own personal theory

Jeff - do yourself a favour & get the 10mm or greater underpad - i briefly was in the industry - too many cheaped out with the 8, - it does make a difference another thing i learned - limit going barefoot on the carpet - oils from feet ruin it in a coupla months

havent been to a live Leafs game since '95 at the good 'ol Gardens no real desire to go to a game either (unless free tickets fell in my lap) leafs need to rebuild & start from the beginning - Detroit was weak for a few years... then they got Fedorov, Lindstrom... ect in there system, built around Yzerman & boom a constant contender & 3 Cups same thing with Jersey, Colorado/Quebec, Ottawa & now Pittsburgh, Nashville, Buffalo - you gotta take your lumps for a few years... keep just a coupla leaders/veterans & build around & develop the system

Hit Quinte a few times this past fall (& winter) first trip in October I set a new PB 11.5lbs went again in mid Nov, a fewnice ones, but nothing over 10.... but with the cancellation of an early Jan. ice trip we went back & I upped my PB a few more ounces does this photo look like it was taken on Jan 6? I really enjoy Quinte - it treats me well
