Wicked slayfest!

Did you actually white out the depth on the fishfinder even though you can clearly see how deep it is on the right hand side? Great job on the whitie slay guys

That reef is officially called the hogs trough now.

By the end of next week we'll have even more snow than last winter I bet...yeehaw! Against all odds, it turned out to be a great year to buy a new sled

I'd renovate my current home, pay off my debts, put a couple million away for a nest egg and give the rest away. No desire to leave here.

Ya I've never noticed the 'winternet' thing to be honest. This forum is primarily off-topic threads year-round.

Awesome whities. I miss those big bulldoggin whities

We got another foot of snow Wednesday night, and there's 60-70 cm forecasted over the next 4-5 days and overnite lows from -14 to -19 and nothing above zero in the long term. We have a TON of snow in the bush considering how late it was to show up, so this season might not end up being much earlier than last year if things keep going the way they are. Not that I'm complaining...

New Iggy Pop record with Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures) is absolutely great, likely his best material since his first two Bowie-produced solo albums back in the mid-70's. Josh is even giving off Bowie vibes here with his backing vocals, and even kinda looks like him.

I would bet that there's more active members here that have never posted a report from their fishing experiences than those that have. That's just what this place is, always has and probably always will be. I like this community, and fish a lot so I like to post reports as an attempt to keep things on track a bit haha. The subforum thing has been brought up a million and one times and nothing has ever came of it, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

I'll take a bite if you do.

If you think bear baiting is as simple as throwing out a bunch of scraps and then waiting for one to show up to blast it, you're pretty clueless. Bear are very in tune with their environment, and consistently successful bear hunters are very skilled at what they do.

Chad ruined my lake for me. Thanks to this post Nip is gonna have hundreds of huts on it next year

Yamaha's are front heavy cinderblocks off trail. My voyageur will putt around on bottomless powder all day. Doesn't have the jam to trench down and pull thru like an RMK but it breaks trail much better and can actually reverse without terrible trenching.

Ya know, it showed up a month late, but we ended up having a pretty damn good snow year up here all things considered. Another 15-20 cm coming over the next couple days and overnite lows -15 -20 for the rest of the week should mean well get great conditions for at least the whole of March, hopefully a week or two into April even. The best is yet to come, fishing wise

It's always been a walleye factory. The only people that don't think that are the ones that don't fish it. The only real notable change seems to be the average size has increased across the board, which is great!

Nipissing has been producing big time this year. Average size is up across the board, numbers are great and I've seen pics of plenty of giants being caught.

You won't ever see that report, because when it happens I will suffer immediate and severe heart failure.

They're pretty much the same as the Leechman tipups, made by a guy in North Bay and stocked by a few shops in the area, and I put a rattle reel on the moving arm and set it loose enough that when the fish runs out of travel on the arm it freespools

Wow, what an insane setlist! I almost regret not going. Ozzy being a basket case (and more importantly, Dio not being there), plus the Bill Ward Bull totally soured me on the whole thing.

Last weekend's cold snap did wonders for our ice up here, making beautiful conditions for ice travel, since the slush was getting pretty horrific the week prior. Team Polaris was out in full force chasing squaretails... Family day was finally the opener for specks and lakers in Zone 11, which meant I could finally have more options for speck fishing than stocked, year-round lakes. Day 1 we weren't on the ice until the afternoon, but we managed 3 nice ones for the pan The next day I was able to sneak out for a couple hours at first light for some natural lakers on a lake close to home. Managed 3 fish including this nice one... My dad came up north for the weekend, and we hit some beautiful weather on Saturday to go speckin'...+2, trails and lakes both in beautiful shape, and the specks were on! Can't ask for more than that for a mid-winter day. They started small.. Little bigger... By lunch time we had iced 7 trout up to 15", keeping 4 for dinner and carefully releasing the others. In the afternoon we shifted gears and hit another lake that produces size, not numbers, hoping to cap the day with a big girl. My dad was jigging a cleo in a mess of branches in 10 fow when this chunky 2-pounder took a bite... Not a giant but a great fish and end to the day. Still chipping away at my ever-growing list of lakes looking for my speckasaurus

July is a nice time to be in the park, but don't expect to catch many brook trout, and I don't think you'll find much for 'backwoods' in the kawarthas, except for Kawartha Highlands PP

Nice going. It was crazy warm down there this weekend must have felt like late March out there.
