I can only imagine (probably not) of how many pics you actually shot to get those action shots. Very impressive indeed.

Bob would be well pleased. Very nice work.

Nicely done Bushart

Welcome aboard bud.

I don't have any baitcasting reels (yet). I am right-handed, but all my open-faced spinner reels ... I reel with my left.

I can hear him a howlin' all the way from Allibamy

Great intro Mike. Welcome aboard.

I'm not a steelheader ... but allow me to welcome you to the board TIBBS. You know, we'll be expecting more pics - just like those you posted. Welcome Tibbs.

We'll be waiting for a complete and detail report. Oh yeah ... be sure to check out the catch and POSESSION limits.

Jim: I've experienced the same thing, at least in the few places that I have stayed. They have what they call off-season rates or discounts that lead into early June and then again in mid-September or so. So, during the high summer season, the rates are generally higher. For the same cabin, I've seen it as low as $50.00 to about a hundred +. Can't say that I've ever seen a $300.00 jump for the busy season - that must be a very popular place and they can get that premium from their customers. Other places have the same rate, regardless of the time of year. Docking fees seem to be gaining popularity and are usually around 10 to 15 per day ... or 50 to 75 per week. For a weekly rental, I've seen a bit of a discount. I don't mind the charge if the docks are kept up and in good/safe order. Most places I've stayed have very well-kept docks. Others ... well, not all the docking fee is put back into the dock. Also, for the launching and parking, when I am staying on-site, I've never been charged for these. This assumes they have their own boat launch and parking facility. I have stayed places where the camp does have it's own ... so we have to pay for the service. Surcharges for pets are also increasing as the number of camps that permit pets seems to be dwindling. We have two dogs that go with us on all trips, so my list of camps is not that great. Some places charge for them, and others do not. To this point, I've not encountered any surprise charges, once I reach the camp. I've been very lucky with all charges, in writing, and up front. I receive a reservation confirmation, with all the charges and taxes clearly marked. To this point, I've not hand any problems with the camps that I have stayed at. Take your time in selecting the camp and don't hesitate to contact the camp directly and ask specific questions and see of you can get things in writing. It's your trip and your holiday ... and you'll want to enjoy it to the full. Lots of great and knowledgable folks on this board that will be more than happy to help you out.

Happy Birthday my friend. May there be a fish on each hook of your infamous sabiki rig.

That's a good one Kirk ... good way to end the week.

Welcome aboard spashhopper. That sounds kinda neat fishing on the gold course. Take a swing - make a cast.

Very unique indeed Lew. Cool pic.

Scarey stuff cliff but great to hear you're OK.

Cool video Steve. Congrats to your brother and we'll pull for him to win his next fight.

Good deal Jeff. Being too busy fishing to post a report is a problem many of us would like to have. Glad to see you took a break and put this report up. I can almost smell that fish cookin' now. Remember to take another break and post another one.

Picked ours up a few years ago. Tracker Targa V17 WT. 90 HP 2-Stroke Merc. That windshield sure is nice on the cold rainy Northern Ontario September days. I've been hinting around about upgrading to a 4 stroke, but my better half says we don't get out enough to make it worth the money. Typically we're after pike, musky, and bass ... depending on where we go. (Our two girls are just a bonus ..... man, I sure do miss my Airdale. But - we just picked up another one a few weeks ago, so she'll be in the Lakair pics and report)

A little late ?? A musky is never late mike ... we'll take one any time. Welcome aboard.

I'm using checking things out every morning before work and again in the evenings. I even tried to access the site from work. With the way the network guys have things locked out ... I was really surprised it was able to get in. I may peek a little a time or two a day ... but won't risk my job over it. But Hey - If I get fired, that's just more time to be on the board ... right ?

Boy I sure hope they do. Since my wife and I got them, we wear them all the time while on the water.

I got me two trips up north scheduled .. June and September. LOOK OUT ... I"M COMING !!! (Oh yeah .. I bought her an oar for Christmas ... just in case we would run out of gas).

Welcome Aboard Anton ... Great to have you with us.

Nice report Steve and what a great way to spend a vacation - volunteering to help a wildlife station. Good on you. I had a good friend in the Caribbean or Central America just this past week volunteering with a group of doctors providing medical care. Sounds like a great trip.

Those are great commercials. See them running here from time to time.
