Nice vid cliff.

Hmmm I recognize some of those good ole boys.......

Go percher go!

LOL.. that was pretty cute..... by the way Monique got her first moose tag yesterday!

Thanks everyone... (except you Victor.. lol ) we're going back up with some friends in a week or so.. hope to get on at least one of those lakes...

It eats minnows.... uhhgg..

LOL.. ya hes getting furry... hey HH how long are you at Golden Eagle???

Joey... I believe your right... a google image search confirmed that!! They are nasty!!! http://images.google.ca/images?q=helgremite

Avery and I managed to get up to Jiggy for the long weekend... it rained a bit the one day, but otherwise the weather was always better than they were predicting (buzz kills...) On the way in we stopped and saw Oxcowboy and his buds at Golden Eagle, didn't know that Wendel was there or I would have searched him out as well! After we got camp set up, Avery and I headed out on the river, where the pace of the weekend was quickly set with him catching all that nights dinner..... a sign of things to come... You can see his SEG (*&%$ eating grin... get bigger and bigger as the weekend progresses... lol) We managed to get a small flock of black ducks to come in... not as friendly as the ones we had last year, but we still did managed to bribe them with enough bread to get them up on the dock... We have a couple of minnow traps at a beaver pond on the way in and last time we were up there was a TON of tadpoles in the water... well there must be no predators in that pond cause this time when we looked they had all come out of the water, it was incredible!! It was a sight Id never seen before... <object width="425" height="349"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="349"></embed></object> This was also something I'd never seen before..a pretty disgusting insect.. it was about 4 inches long... and was attacking the little frogs.. squirming around in them and biting them with its mandibles... Anyone know what it is??? It was like an armoured centipede.. with less legs... Thousands of frogs in different stages of evolution. The next day Avery and I packed up our new to us 12 footer and went back to a lake we know... the one where Monique caught her big perch... he was casting to shore .. it was a Jumla only day for him... I was jigging with some nice minnows to see if there was any pickerel in the lake. I'm pretty sure I missed a big one, the bite felt right, and while I poked around like that, Avery whooped my butt with the Jumla... see the grin get bigger and bigger... Apparently outfishing me wore him right out... so the next day when I asked him what he wanted to do, he wanted to go exploring on the ATV, which was fine with me, I had 4 lakes I wanted to check out to see if they were accessible and if we could get the boat in.. so off we went, putting about 110 km on the bike, we brought lunch and had a great day! In an old clear cut you could see where a bear had walked up the side of a sand dune, i though the tracks made a nice picture... Someones had a bad day.... The end of one cut trail... a spectacular view of the surrounding area... One access to a very large lake... no other access points and no traffic at this spot.. I bet no ones fished it for years.... Till the next time I get in there... Also when we got back.. there was a couple of Beers at the door at Jiggy, apparently some transient with a float plane dropped by to say hi... and of course picked the day we were out gallivanting around... thanks for the Beers IrishField!! Next time let me know when your coming!! After delighting in the fact that Avery was supplying the fish for dinner, he then proceeded to takle 5 bucks from me playing crib as well.... geezz rub salt into my wounds... I think the young padawan is starting to teach the teacher.... The next morning this bold visitor was hopping around camp... It also seemed that there were alot more Terns ( I think that's what this is) as well as an over abundance of woodcocks along the trails... more than normal... Ive also been looking for something we could pull behind my 15hp so the kids can do some water sports in the afternoons while there, so they dont get over board with the ole man wanting to fish all the time... we splurged and bought an O'brien Jimmy Jam board, and hoped the boat would pull it - and yes it did!! <object width="425" height="349"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="349"></embed></object> All in all it was a great weekend!! Now back to work to wait for the next trip up in Mid August.

Please contact them directly. Could be a great opportunity for the right group to take over. Norcan Lake Log Cabin (Near calabogie) Location: North Canonto concession 3 lot 22, property Roll No 1042 110-040-16200 on Norcan Lake in the Township of North Frontenac Size: roughly 24 x 20 with a loft about 24 x 10 and is about 20 years old (MNR estimate) Info: The land use permit allows youth groups to lease the land for $738.30 per year. The new lessees will purchase the cabin for $1 from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada to formalize the transfer. The cabin itself is in sound structural condition and I could not find any leaks due to a solid roof. The Windows are all intact and the doors have locks. The decking at the front of the cabin will need to be reinforced as some of the support members and components are rotting as they are not protected by the overhanging roof. The inside of the cabin will need a good cleaning due to a few years of non-use and there is some debris around the property that should be cleaned up. (i.e. old inner tubes, a rusty old barrel, etc. The cabin sits upon the edge of a hill with a great view over the lake. The lake is beautiful and the surrounding area pristine.

Thanks guys... I will definaltley have some fish hitting those lures!!

I'm doing some videos for the guys at Hammerhead Lures. I have a question.. If you could see the lures action online before you buy, would it help with your purchasing descision... or do you simply go by how things look in the store when trying new baits?? Would videos like this help you try something new?? <object width="425" height="349"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="349"></embed></object>
