Moosebunk

A light spinning rod and a medium or med-heavy spinning rod. Usually gets it done for smallies.

Cool stuff Art. interesting little hobby choice. Nicely done.

Love seeing the shots from the fall Doug. Have only ever gone on a hunt (tag along) once, and it was for moose on the Ekwan River north of the Attawapiskat. Amazing memories.

People are fishing Silver Lake still... and still they aren't getting any bites. lol.

Never seen a full show. Probably catch the sermons more than the fish when surfing by.

More women always welcome. One's that fish, all the better. Welcome aboard SBunny.

Yep... could have been a great report... until that sweater. lol. Joking! Like those splakers. My nemesis. Good on ya!

There's not much to find online about Onamans. Most of Rob's business comes from big lake U.S. anglers out to chase the big lakers, and then there's plenty as well who fish the other three species. The Sports shows he attends are Stateside and he does very little Ontario advertising. That said, when we were there he was quite busy with cabins and campsites occupied, and he pretty well has everything there other than booze to buy. Here's a few links. http://www.oodmag.com/community/showthread.php?45522-Lake-Nipigon-Photo-Album http://ontariofishingcommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=70646 http://mnoutdoorsman.com/forums/index.php?topic=8451.0 http://www.idofishing.com/forum/showflat.php/Number/1260723/fpart/1/scratch-is-that-a-broken-record It "could be" an absolutely wicked trip for just pike and eyes. Reason being, the area and potential for BIG fish, numbers or both. Humboldt and Ombabika Bays on Nipigon are known to be better-than-average areas of the lake for both species, there's also the Onaman River, (after opener especially) Onaman Lake, (see link above or Bauer's Fly-Ins, and note that ORR has access to this gem), Northwind Lake, Jackfish River... and how many other lakes in that area too. ORR claims nearby access for day trips into about 40 others lakes with specks, eyes, pike, lakers, whitefish, splake, bows, perch... whatever. But pike and walleye potential is totally there, and frankly as much as hundreds of eater to good average size fish fisheries are fun, it's more often than not the giants of the trip that are remembered most... at least for me. There's close fishing to ORR for both and it can be solid, but I felt as though the surface was only scratched due to all the other options our group didn't get a chance to try on our trip last summer. I have Steve. At that site there, or one of your other ones. Not " quite exactly" sure where they are though, and it's a long way out to guess. That said, it's in the works for some year soon. Camping out is a great way to really be there. I'll have something for you that'll help Tyler. Rob's reasonable and friendly, and will help get you started. He treats everyone the same no matter, but don't go expecting more... just plan that for yourselves.

Etrex went to a buddy who would cross James Bay from Moose River to Mississicabi or Harricanaw and go it by compass well offshore to avoid the tidal flats. He liked pinpointing his landing when using that unit for the first time. They were all useful tools in one way or another.

Joey is stylin Fo'Sho!

Dave... it's a mobile tank pop-up. Wicked.

Keep Leah fishing, get Summer fishing, take Brenda fishing, share a first time fishing with my brother, introduce my nephew to fishing and take some non-fishing friends fishing. Build more on the fishing I have done last 5 years since coming home, maybe try and fit a new species or two into the summer season if not working or travelling much. Leave ungrateful, delusional, freeloading drunks on shore, away from any fishing and out of my life. Catch PB lakers, Experience all new fishing trips this year, travelling with family and friends. Go ProStaff.......???? Naaahhh !!! Pick up extra work or contracts if needing supplies. Get a new tow vehicle. 15 years on the Chev and she's starting to hurt a little too much. Keep on fishin' on.

Caught this the other day at work... There's nothing quite like the subtle and gentle little tugs seen at the rod tip, then finding out a 100, 200, maybe even 500 to 1000 pound giant white sturgeon was just sniffing and rolling around a little piece of salmon flesh or ditch eel in it's gums. Coolest thing mang! Great white sturgeon for ya dood!

Dang dood! Dunno if I like the ride or the eye more. Good to hear from ya Jay. See that fishing Fishin' God's Country is treating ya well.

OMC... Oh My Cod!!! lol. Cool pics Frodo of the Shire!

Shucks Brother Glen... GBW did post "celeb" though, not lunatic. It's probably called obsession too, not passion. Do loves me some fishing bud, thanks. Maybe one day we'll get that chance to share a boat and I'll talk your ears off. Really have no idea off the top of my head which celebrity I'd wanna hang out with so maybe I'll go with Roy too, if Wayne gives it the OK.

If walleye are involved I would take a guess that it has to do with taking the smallie numbers down a peg (and increase fishing opps), to help bring/keep the walleye numbers up. They do often compete in the same spaces. And, maybe not so much in that part of Northern Ontario, (but maybe so) it's more often the walleye to more anglers and travellers, that are the fish of importance for sport, food and tourism. Policing this then... is not likely in any part of the plan. lol.

There are a good few who appreciate that brook trout fishery, but likely only a small few who appreciate it to your level Alan. Here's to hoping your 2014 season is a healthier one. Not sure I'll be seeing you out there this year, but one day we'll hopefully share a boat. Great pics... and quite enjoyed the video. Happy New Year. Wayne.........

Thanks Bri. Again, wasn't sure it had the flasher mode. There should be other color options for it too if it's like any other Lowrance. Basically it's same as the X67 but you have a split screen sonar/flasher option which is different. If changing up down the road I'll strongly consider the Elite as it's dual purpose and a good price. Would have been a better video had ya got that fish. I've been out to check on ice weeks ago, and put in a couple hours for pannies. Season will kick off tomorrow... time to get serious. lol. Good luck out there bud. Hope you find some Simcoe greys and whites.

Happy Holidays Brian Doooood! And Co. And OFC too.

You boys are off to the races. Must be Quinte time for yas soon??? Some solid eyes and craps. Great day on Walleye Bay. Will have to watch the video after work today. Happy New Years doods!

Thanks fellas. Appreciated. Never left Ontario this past year and that says something about our great fishing opportunities. From an hours drive or less, to one full long days tour north, south or west, it's incredible the trophy fisheries available. Having the options these past few years to hit the road and try anything is something quite enjoyed. Roy, TJ & Mods. Thanks for keeping this great place afloat for all of us over the years. For myself and the reports, most have always been supportive and kind when dropping a line, it's lead to some good things. In times when it seems many other sites are slowing down or folding up, it has to be both the membership and leadership of a site that keeps people interested and keeps it going. A week, sometimes a day doesn't go by when many of us have to make time to pop in here and see what's up with the people who make this "a community." Thanks again for providing this place for us all. Happy Holidays.

Ha!!!

Eating tigers. Ain't that a thing to think about. Do kind of agree with some, it is "oddly" cool looking. That head only a test-tube, genetically engineered freak mother could love.

Don't think it should, but who knows? Charlie and Co. have been running that 4-Star lodge for some time now, and for the most part have always had the best interests of the fishery and their customers in mind. Will more or less be wondering what open season they allow for anglers in their future though? And at what costs as well? And yes, thanks for posting Beerman.
