Nice fish!

Awesome fish!

Hey Hawg...do you have any up-to-date info on that crack?? And how wide do you think it was? -R-

This is some good ice making weather...AND it will freeze that sluch up ...

Don't get me wrong i like winter a lot. But it's been around a while, and I'm ready for spring again.

I'd rather have another 30 centimeters, then rain on teh 3 feet we aready have. The side walks are bad enough around these parts. -Ramble

Thanks Rap. Do you guys, have any Trips planned for this year?? -R-

I was outside standing in the wind this morning and I realized that I'm almost ready for spring. I love all the seasons, but I can only tolerate each of them for so long. I've got a few more weeks of ice fishing left in me and then I'll be ready for the softwater, and the warm sun. It's going to be a good summer I think. I already have a 3 day trip planned into Algonquin in May, and a 7 day trip in August. I'm working on another one. Not to mention the usualy 2 months of guiding...and the places around home. I'm dreaming of it already. Yup, it's going to be a gooooood year! In the mean time i have 4 more lakes on my TO DO LIST before the ice leaves. I hope everyone has a good weekend. Ramble Out

It's been a while since i watched a race...are they still turning left?

Man you should be critically thinking EVERYDAY. Philosophy isnt for the class room it should be used in your day to day life ....You should pay attention to your Prof's more (Joking) On the up side at least you know the poacher knows what he is looking for! lolol Seriously though, i do agree that it isn't right. -R-

Wow. Can't say i'm too surprised tho. Who would have thought that situation would have ever come up? As far as the Law is concerned he has "paid his dept" THAT little idea is one of the major problems i have with the justice system...but that's a rant for another time. Kickin i don't mean to single you out, but the logic isn't flawed, the conclusion just isnt right. For example: If I see a dog and see that the dog is brown, then I find another dog and that dog is also brown, then I conclude that all dogs are brown.I have made a totally logical statement. The conclustion supports the premises. HOWEVER that conclusion is obviously incorrect. That's our philosophy lesson for the day. Class dismissed. -R-

that's 2 years of college and 2 years of university so far...And there is nothing wrong with my logic.... My dictionary comment was ment to be a joke. Do a little research into lauguage, it's a fluid thing constantly chaning and evolving...in some cases simplifying. (That's not ment to be an attack)My point is, the defintion of sport in todays society does NOT appy to things like fishing and hunting. THAT is a different kind of Sport in my book. Just because you can make the subject conform to some defintion does NOT mean that it applies. Maybe we need to invent a new word for "things" like fishing? -R-

Can someone explain to me why anyone cares about this?

Not a sport and Not Athletes. Fishing is a past time at best...energetic tho it maybe. If it wasn't for the laws there would be no rules. Originally it was a method for getting food....that time has past for the most part, but it's still not a sport. Pro-Fisherman arn't athletes. When Im guiding I work about 98 hours a week...about 60 hours of that is strickly on the water...I get paid, am I a pro athlete? NO WAY! Could you make the argument??? Yup. But that doesn't mean it's a sport or that i'm an athlete. Just because there is compition involved, that doesn't mean it's a sport either, Or else a bunch of guys i went to college with are athletes in sports no one would play.... i suppsoe it's a personal opinion thing. But i think fishing is more of a past time or a hobby... As far as the Dictionary goes...my name isn't Webster or Oxford, so it doesn't apply to me! -R-

Northern Lights is my Favourite. My uncle and Grandmother paints...i know how hard it is to get Northern lights to look good. You definatly have skill, there is no doubt about that. One thing i always take note of when i look at art, is how the technique changes between artists. Here is a picture my grandother painted and gave to me. The photo is what she baed the painting on. It's from her favourite trail in Algonquin. -R-

Thanks Hawg

We had a guy stop and talk to us. He mentioned that the police have been checking Scugog and fining people for booze ont eh ice. They have a 0 tolerance policy right kniw. it's a $200 fine. Anyway...that's what i heard. -R-

That's looks like an awesome day. Those are some more nice fish. I'm definalty jelous. Congrats. -Ramble

Beautiful 'eye i love that light colour they have sometimes. Congrats. -Ramble

I've been thinking about these leaders for a while....do tehy require any special knots for the heavy line...and have any of you actually noticed a differance in the amount of fish you catch? -Ramble

Where would you prefer it? lol

That's a good day for sure...and a nice feed as well. Congrats on a good out, -Ramble

That's a healthy looking Northern. I bet you guys had a lot of fun. You reminded me of one of my favourite quotes....."Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." ~Henry David Thoreau The fish are a bonus... the trip is always a riot. Have a good one. -ramble

This place won't help your fishing addiction. It will make that worse, and in about a month you'll realize your addicted to the forum as well. I've quite fighting the fishing addiction, and i now look at the rest of the world as a "hobby", and fishing as "reel life" Pun intended. Cya Around -Ramble

Thanks, for the replies everyone. I'm not sure what we did to deserve a weekend like that, but I hope i do it again. That was some of teh best ice fishing I've ever had. You never knew what you had and we didn't see a Perch the whole time. I'll never forget that trip lol -Ramble
