Looks Great Bernie. Now for your wifes approval ....

Looks Great TJ. How do we make recommendations on other links that should be on there? I know another guide that maybe could fit in?????

I have a 8' Avid for Bucktails. Never used a Fig, but LOVE my Avid. It was worth every penny. They dont sell the Avid Musky Series anymore though. Now its Legend Tournament or Premier.

Hey Disco, Those last 2 were taken in November on Shawanaga River. It was the end of a long cold day with about 10 eye's to show for it for that day. Cold.

I know. These pictures are all I have to look forward to.

Hey Bare, Here are some pics of what its like in Pointe Au Baril on the water. Hope this helps. I will find the others. PM me if you want more.

This past summer my girlfriend and I headed up to the Kawartha's for the first time. Blue Bird Skys everyday but managed to have some luck. The first was caught on a Buchertail with a 6" Grub trailer, the second 2 were on a Depth Raider in about 20-30 ft of water. Great trip, I have more pics just gotta upload them. Enjoy,

Ahhh ccm you beat me to it. I agree though, a local shop may be able to help you out. but you might be s.o.l. Hope you find one

Welcome Matt

Hey Bare, Pointe Au Baril is my home away from home. The parents used to own a resort there, now taken over by Sturgeon Bay and run down There are a few resorts up there. Pretty pricey though. Have a look here: Pointe Au Baril Chamber The main resorts are listed there. There are smaller places too, up in Bayfield, plus the Ojibway (dont know if its all private) and there are a few places for rent on Shawanaga Bay that are privately owned cottages. Or you could just camp at Stugeon Bay. Its a great park, nice and small. Jigger has also been there so PM him if you want his opinion. As for fishing in August, depending on the time, early August (hot day and night) late August (hot only during the day) fishing is usually great. Bass really seem to turn on the last week of July/first week of August. You have Pike, bass, pickeral, and a lot of pan fish. Its a great place to go, and if you can get out on the water, its beautiful up there. Let me know if you want any more info and I will gladly help you out.

I would like to see this question as a poll. See what kind of results we would get since there are so many mixed responses.

Nicely done G. Appreciated.

Nice Fish Mike, oh wait thats me

I drag my girl along all the time. She doesnt know how much I appreciate it but I do. Shes great just for company and ALWAYS out fishes me if she picks up a rod. I just never admit it to her face haha

You wont find these parts at HD for sure. I used to work there and they dont carry parts like this. Its all GENERAL parts. No specialty stuff.

Heading up to Pointe Au Baril for a week at Sturgeon Bay Port Severn for Multiple weekend trips Kawarthas for a week as well (hopefully) Lake of the Woods is in the works, if not this year, next year for sure. Mike

I have a Chronarch Mg on a St. Croix. You dont even realize its on the rod. Dont know much about the Kistler Rods, but if they are that light, you cant go wrong with that reel. I love it.

Added some more pics Enjoy I will get more on here later

Nope, no OOS for me. It was caught Nov. 3rd. 12 days before close. Give me more credit then that hahaha, I would never target OOS fish.....EVER, but thats just me. I know of too many people that do.

I was on the site searching for caches around my house. Turns out there is one I can see from my window. I wish I knew about this when it started. I need to go get a new GPS now

I have no idea how this works, but it sounds great so I'm in as well. No TJ where are those rules for us newbies

Definitely use Marine Grade Ply. Do not use Construction Grade. Its going to run you $110-140 a sheet depending on where you get it. As for a surface, if you dont want to use carpet, Rhino Lining would work as well. Its like the stuff they had at the show, but you can get a more rubbery surface making it more comfortable to walk on. If you go with the standard bed liner, its very hard and coarse.

Terry...I didnt want to post the original pic. I knew I shouldnt have emailed it to you

Well I may be close to 11'. I havnt really measured lately. I just posted this to see if I could post from another board gallery. The OFC gallery wont let me upload cus my files are too big. And I havnt signed up for photobucket yet. Soon I will get more pics on here. This was just a test for fun

*** PICS ADDED*** Alright, I dont know if this is going to work so hopefully this pic shows up. Its my 60" Musky I caught this FALL. I forgot to mention, I am almost 10' tall, thats why it seems so small. You just have to look at it from that perspective Here are some more pics from this day, Photobucket is now up and running. As you can see, the day couldnt have been more perfect for being on the water for November 3rd, just not so great for fishing. It was like this all day.
