There is so much over harvest on Simcoe it's sickening. Those buttheads deserve every bit of it.

If it's a slow day out on the river, I never complain if the suckers are to play

We are talking about Manitouabing in Parry Sound correct? McKellar Township? I think the only 35+ inch pike I've seen outta there has been a dead one, lol.

No, I've fished that lake a lot in my teens. If you are after snot rockets and a few walleye it's a great lake. If you are after monsters, seriously go somewhere else

Nice brownie!

I'm done Roy, sorry if things got a wee bit heated. My apologies to Mike for ruining his thread, lol. Archie, a center what?

I think you started with the insults back on page 2. If you can dish it out, you should also be able to take it. Apparently you can't.

Roy, it's funny you say that. I have a buddy who's been involved in the muskie game for a long long time. He's told me more records have been caught and released then people even know. I've seen some pics of him with a certain other muskie legend and could not believe the size of the fish they had.. If it were ever posted (and it never will be) it would blow peoples minds!!

Proper english and a wee bit more attention to grammar would really be appreciated by all of us trying to decyfer what the hell you're trying to say.

Don't waste your time.

The East ditches, now in full colour!!!

I am SO happy I didn't turn around and see what was happening back there, lol!!!

I think I remember something about the side bracket, the 2 horse and us almost swamping.. But I was up in the front having to much fun!!!

The bull trout is apart of the char family (just like the brook trout is)

I've got clue enough to catch a few nice brownies down at the Niagara on my float gear Silly perch fishermen...

Maybe I'm targeting the wrong places! lol

By bottom bounce I mean 'bouncing my bait along the bottom'

If your float is 'zinging' under anytime you touch bottom you are A) either running way to long, or You have way to much weight and it's not setup correctly. On certain rivers you can run shot close to your bait and not hang up (Lake Erie south shore tribs for example) where the bottoms are fairly clear and not to snaggy. Do that on the Notty and you'll have a very crappy day. Different rivers call for different setups (obviously), but if you think I'm running 1-2ft above bottom and not just tumbling along like you are, you'd be wrong.

The lake I'm planning fishing is still frozen solid

I was just wondering because you said backlakes. To me that means lots of hard work, lol!! Sounds like you and your sons could have a lot of fun with this boat

I bottom bounce all the time with my centerpin. Just because it's under a float doesn't mean it can't bounce across the bottom

If you can drive to those back lakes then I doubt you'll have a problem, but bushwacking even a small distance with that thing is going to be almost impossible.

Damn pinners.
