Sorry Roy, Wolf beat me to it.

i paid $42 at Lowes Roy. They are readily available in the Electrical section. Right beside all the wire nuts and such.

Try Christies Mill Inn and Spa. Its up in Port Severn, small, yet nice. We got married there, had about 80 people only as even Christies gets pricey after a few people are added. We had a great experience with them though, and the food was incredible. www.christiesmill.com

Mine seem less then satisfactory after seeing Colin's haha

:rofl2:

Its very true. If you are heading up from the south, gas up in Nobel. If you are coming down from the north, you can get gas cheaper in Britt somehow, before that the Key or French. Payne's isn't that much more expensive then Wings and they are on the Water. They have always been more expensive, and it didnt help when Larry bought the place.

I would rather go to the Harbour View for a shake. Much better then anything Wings (the shell station) puts and and cheaper too.

Never met Roy in person, only seen him in pictures...but I know this much low blow hahahaha

You pulled the words right out of my mouth Terry. Well said. If it's a monster to the guy who catches the fish, let him feel as good as he does. If you don't think its a monster, pass by the topic and move on. We have to remember that no everyone has the opportunity to fish certain bodies of water where others are more privileged. Not everyone gets to fish x amount of hours. I don't know why this would bother anyone. There are far better things on the winternet to complain about

Awesome Bill. What type of camera are you using? All of your pics look like someone who knows how to fish was with you....

I think I had the most fun reading this post Drew. Every time I read one of your contributions, its like you are right there with you. You are truly talented in that way. Now I sit here in Perth, working in Ottawa, picturing where you were on Sommerset. Just like everyone else thinks, I do too, you deserve to be writing in a magazine where more people can experience what you have to offer. Thank you once again for an incredible journey.

Splash and Bryan are right. Liens are possible. The issue is you are leaning the Owner of the property and not the guy that owes you the money. 99% of the time the hired trade is paid by the owner, yet the subs do not get paid. Framers are very very susceptible to this unfortunately. I know of at least 30 crews that have got screwed by the owner of the framing company after he was paid by the owner of the property. I work for one of the "property owners", luckily our trades get paid 99% of the time. This happens all the time in the GTA and Ottawa. Good luck, if its not a big amount that he owes you, cut your losses and spread the word. If its a lot, look at the lien route (as long as you are not in Ottawa and liening our company hahaha)

I have never caught a musky and I heard these are great for them... To the rest... Thanks all, I will check all these places.

I can't seem to find them anywhere, am I just missing them? I am looking for the white/cream color ones. Last time I bought them was in Orilla right before the swing bridge, I cant remember the shop name. Can anyone help me out? Does JB's carry them? Anyone in the Ottawa region?

Lew, where are you hooked on to on your Tekota?

Perfect, thanks Wayne.

What model do they have at Lowes?

Awesome dude. Just sick.

Oh how daring of you Bill...

Saltwater fish are much more resilient then Musky as well. The water will still be relatively warm in September which doesn't help. Don't compare 2 completely different scenarios. You dont bring a knife to a gun fight...

Just want to again say thanks for everyone's input. I think we have made our decision and are going for much longer then I want to. 6 nights, 7 days. Mind you, we are going for a weeding so 3 or 4 of those days are completely occupied already. This will give me and the wife some time to go explore things like the dam and the canyon as well as take in "O" one night. Somehow it is cheaper for us to go for 7 days then it is for us to go 5. Its actually $70 cheaper to go for longer per person. I think we are going to stay at Tropicana, it seems to be the best price/location. Plus we have a few friends already booked at the Tropicana and we are going the week of the larges Dental convention in North America (55,000 dental professionals will be there so all the prices are jacked for our week) Again, thanks to all, all your input is valuable and appreciated.

Thanks guys. Keep the opinions coming if possible. Thanks Craig for the detailed response.

So I have to go to Vegas in October. I have never been, neither has the wife. Where would you stay? Where have you had bad experiences? I have specifically left out Bellagio, Wynn and Manadalay as they are all very expensive the week we are going down. I am trying to do this as cost effective as possible. Thanks Mike

He must be the most successful Musky fisherman ever, especially in Severn Sound. He is a god apparently. Wayne, if you find this guy, I will be following you, I know what your boat looks like. Bill had it right... Now to help the OP. If its only your second trip out for Musky stick to the Kawarthas. Stay out of Gbay until you build some confindence, or it will eat you up and spit you out. Pigeon is a fun lake to fish, this time of year the north end is very active, you shouldnt have a problem boating any, search around this form, other guys have stated where to start. < Very poor sentence structure haha. If not, try Upper Buckhorn. Lovesick is too small, and I find if you do go to Stoney, fish where you think Bass and Walleye will be and you are into Musky. Good luck!!!!
