  1. Remote fishing trips

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I'm sure that a fly in fishing trip is on almost everyone's "to do" list. But with a little bit of homework, you guys can have the trip of your life without flying anywhere. If you're willing to drive from Toronto to the Kenora area, you've driven past 1000's of prime fishing areas on your way west. Maybe not right on the trans Canada, but not too far north from it. Personally, I'd rather park at a lake with nobody else there than stay at a lodge. Do some home work. Look at some maps. Ask questions. Northwestern Ontario is a vast area of untapped fishing opportunities if you get off the beaten path a mile or two. Ask tjsa how much he'd pay to catch a 40+ Pike. I can answer that for him. He wouldn't pay a nickel. Cuz they're everywhere up here. But like me, he doesn't target them. We don't like Pike up here. They're a pest fish in our books. But if that's what you want, come on up. Most of you guys have seen Rons reports from up here the past 4 years or so. He came here blind and posted pictures each year of trophy Pike, Lake Trout and Brookies each year. He fished right in my back yard and fished places that I never heard of before. He did his homework is all. Bottom line is this. If you need to get on an airplane to catch fish and want to get pampered, then by all means go for it. If you want a better experience, get out a map and head north.

     

     

    I couldn't agree with you more Dan. The experience of getting in a plane and flying somewhere is neat, but it doesn't make a difference in terms of "quality" fishing. I personally would have a hard time paying that kind of coin unless that plane met me at pearson so I could avoid the drive...

    Agreed, but you can't shine in the post-season if you don't make it there either...

     

    P.S. Don't confuse me with an actual Sens fan, that's embarassing :lol: , just playing devils advocate a bit.

    He's got a ton of skill, no question. One of the top players in the game from the perspective. He isn't a leader. Not by a long shot. You can't have your captain pulling up on back checks and firing pucks at other players. Your captain can't cost you 2 games in the finals. Alfie is a top line winger, nothing more, nothing less. That C shoud be torn off his sweater. I was reading Ottawa sports writers are now blaming Emery for not stealing a game??? what the hell? You guys want Raycroft? I would kill to have Emery on the leafs roster right now...

    The funny thing is though, if the it were the leafs in the finals, do you honestly think any of us leaf fans would give a crap what a sens fan was thinking or saying? You guys take this stuff way too personally. Alfie is a crap leader. Niedermeyer is a solid leader. Ducks win the cup. Sens ain't going to win the cup with Bozo the clown at the helm. And this year was clearly the year to do it. The sens have some cap trouble coming up in the off season and someone has to go. My money is on Alfredsson hitting the road.

    Puckhead, i was confused when i saw your avatar, yet you seemed to be down on the sens. Then i looked closer and saw it was a sens netminder with a puck behind him LOL. Ive never noticed that before, i always caught it at a glimpse and thought you were a fan lol.

     

     

    hahaha - maybe that's why those Ottawa guys have been so nice to me, they think I'm a sens fan...hahaha...

     

    I don't hate the sens. The captain of any team defines it IMO and I just have never, ever liked alfreddson, ergo, I don't like the sens...

     

    Habs deserve all the respect in the world - they are the yankees of hockey and will alwasy have a leaf fans respect. Sens on the other hand, not a chance, at least not until Alfie is long gone... If it aint the leafs, go habs...

    Hey Bunk - get used to it. Looks like you are in for a whole lot of years of nada too :) Welcome to hockey fan hell....

     

    You know what, with Ottawa, it's simply alfredsson for me. On any other team, he isn't the captain. alfredsson has skills, but he has no heart and clearly no balls. I have never understood why he wears the C and I suspect after this preformance, Alfredsson is done in Ottawa. Which in all honesty, is the best thing for the Sens IMO. Fisher should be the captain, no doubt about it. Captains need heart and grit - motivate the team. Not a guy that clearly cost Ottawa game two and arguably cost Ottawa game 4. Yeah, he's a lot like Messier my @ss Muckler.

     

    Muckler dumps Alfie, Signs Smyth and makes Fisher the new captain. Then you'll have the entire country behind that team, no doubt about it.

    I would say sturgeon. I've been lucky enough to have pulled in kings, muskie, lakers, pike, etc. and they are fight differently - can't compare. Never caught a sturgeon but the size of those things and the overall esteemed "trophy" status of hooking into a prehistoric fish gives it the nod as the "king" in my book. But how can you really compare any type to another - apples to oranges IMO.
