Incredible mixed bag there, wow.

Now that's an intro!

Welcome aboard

Sorry to hear about the dog, that totally sux. Good job on the boat rig, never heard that omlette tip, sounds cool.

If you know where she is, try downsizing the lure a bit

I can eat an appetizer faster than a meal, if ya catch my drift.

Very good report to the both of you. Wow, them brookies sure are easy on the eyes, and only a stone's throw away you say? Me thinks I shall give it a try sometime. Thanks!

God's country indeed.

Thanks for sharing

Drool!

Those are some very, very nice cars Bernie. Wow! That 'vet is one of my dream cars. Gorgeous.

My uncle retires in a couple years and he's gonna start to rebuild his all original '69 Roadrunner that had been in the garage since the late 70's, can't wait!

Another happy ending in OFC! luv it!

Yep...Biteme schooled me in the art of Pier Salmon catching.

lol, now you're schooling them salmon Cliff. Good job and thanks to both of you!

Thanks Bite me, guess my problem is a quick retrieve.

On another note, it was last week since I attended, however, LeB's in Missisauga had a bin full of glo cleos on sale for $2 or $3 pending on size. I got maybe 6 of them. Check it out, maybe they're still around.

very nice fish ehg! that is one serious brown, thanks for sharing it!

Nice fish your buddy got there! Good luck on the Saugeen this weekend.

Good job Cliff and a dandy fish. If you could be hitting the bottom in 25fow, how fast are you retrieving those cleo's? Are you letting it flutter, short retrieve, flutter? or constant?

I haven't had any luck on spoons yet this year, and so are the other fisherfolk I talk to, just wondering if you are using a specific retrieve to entice them chinny's.

Good job out there, a nice way to end the day of with that clean smallie.

Thanks for sharing and keep up the hurt on those bass!

Smallies in T.O? Amazing report, fired me up to get out there!

Congrats on the PB! An awsome outing, and the smile says it all.

Very nice deck work there! And some good fishing pics too. I've had many project/fishing weeknds this summer. Always so relaxing after a long day to hit the water and tie into some fish. Great job.

Good job out there, sounds like an amazing fishery.

Would love to see what one of your egg sucking leeches, give us a pic!

Congrats on your first 'ski, and at 41" to boot.

I do some solo fishing now and again. Preperation when out on your own is key! Not only must you ensure you have all the proper release tools, but more importantly, they should all be in easy access. I'll have the pliers and hook cutters in my pocket. Net, not blocked or tangled with any other objects.

For pics, take a couple testers with time delay before you head out so you can figure out where to stand on the boat with your catch. You could have a mount, but I just rest the camera on the consol or on top of my tackle box.

That's one kick-donkey tree house, good job.

Great report Moosebunk, always an enjoyable read.

Welcome back aboard! Looking forward to some reports from your neck of the woods.

lol. My dad makes that recipe. In polish, we call it slejdge (spelled incorecctly most likely). Little bits of carrot takes the some of the acidity out of the marinade.

Totally not spam. Good on ya Dave for putting this together! Sounds like a great event is in the works! Donations through the internet would be the most cost effective way of starting a fund. I don't know how to set one up, maybe someone with that experience can give you a hand.

T. Boone Pickens, a least he's trying to put forward a solution, and his own money. That I can commend. Might have never stepped up, if he didn't stand to profit from this venture into the billions of dollars. Of course, this is addressing the US's energy problems.

As for Canada, energy "independence" is an issue non-grata, not much talk of it on the campaign trail. As holdfast has mentioned in another post, Canadian gas retailers are really taking advantage of the "Shock doctrine" of economics. Start-up wind farms are being blocked with lengthy and expensive environment assessments that only large energy suppliers can afford, turned away in bidding for government contracts and when finally they have enough investors to start a project, have resistence from the bigger energy suppliers to tap into the grid. We have the second or third largest resevoirs of dirty crude in the world, oilsands are only profitable when gas is over $35 a barrell, but little to none refinning capacity and supply chain troubles that see areas in Alberta that pull gas out of the ground not have enough to pump in thier trucks.

Energy and it's role in the Canadian economy should be a big issue in this election. But the pollsters, pundits and politicians are more focused on the retail aspect of politics that highlights personalismo, knit v-neck sweaters and all, over policy.

Musky and bass should be open. I was just up at the area not too long ago. The locals swear by frogs up there. I was using yum dingers in a frog pattern and did ok on bass. It wasn't on either lake you describe but in close proximity. Good luck!
