  3. London Area Anglers Alert!

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi all,

     

    Just a reminder that the Thames River Anglers Association meeting is this Wednesday Jan. 10th at 8pm

    at Grosvenor Lodge on Western Rd. The guest speaker this month is Jeff Brick from the Upper Thames River Cons. Auth. Also on tap, the Brown trout are in the hatchery and already at swim up stage. What to do with the walleye hatchery (dismantle or status quo) What's going on with Springbank dam and the now defunct London Sport Fishery, and info on the annual boathouse sale, and hopefully some info on the new website, and as always tons of SCUTTLEBUTT! Hope to see some new faces out there.

    Thanks

    So far one 8'6" trolling rod and $150 worth of BPS gift cards. Making the trip to Niagara Falls tomorrow for more BPS cards (that's all I asked for) I need a new trolling motor since I sold mine last week so I could upgrade to a bow mount

  9. Objects Caught From Bottom

    in General Discussion

    A guy in our fishing club happened to run across a CO last year while at his camp on the Steele river. The CO told him he pulled up a scotty manual downrigger and ball last year from a spot just downstream from the camp. One of his drunken buddies was in the boat 2 years prior and was clearing part of an overhanging tree when the boat drifted under a low branch which peeled off the downrigger. Don't know if it's true or not but makes for a great story!

  10. Fishing Superstitions/rituals

    Always have the lucky walmart fishing hat on. It has since been passed on to my 5yr old and man what a fisherman he is. Incudentally my luck has seemed to increase since I did this (Karma?) Also when tying the "trilene" knot, 8 line wraps when fishing for trout and 6 wraps when fishing for salmon.

  11. Hitch Question?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    For about $20 @ Princess Auto you can get a hitch receiver bar with a lock and also the one you use on the little clip for the trailer on the ball receiver( I can't think of what it's called). They both come with the same key so you only have to carry one key.

  12. Moira Lake

    Thanks for the info guys, I wish I was going to bring the boat up but that won't happen this time of year especially if the weather is as wonderful as it has been the last few days. glad to see that it's a good fishing lake. Hopefully the cottage we're going to see is worth the trip.

    Moosonee 1987. One canoe trip. My first helecopter ride, and my first plane ride. Lit lots of controlled burn fires, huge ones(not personally)! Saw beluga whales in the river, caught my only sturgeon, first walleye and second largest pike (48"). We were the first year to have our camp on the mainland and it was about a mile to town. A few of us snuck into town several times to meet up with the local girls.... sorry family board, my bad! Had a great summer. Everyone had a nickname or two I was JJ or sometimes fishman. anyone else have a jr nickname?
