Lots of good stuff there 10point.... thanks

\happy birthday... \i love fishing with my daughter too. \i wish i could pull up beside a river and set up the floats too though

I know where there are lots of weeds

love my sportspal..i can even stand up and stretch the legs when i need to

excellent timing on this Garry. I was trying this type of frog for the first time last night after I lost my one and only Scum Frog to an unexpected pike. I was having one helluva time keeping the frog on my offset hook due to the mat's I was fishing and really getting jammed up in the lily pads. I hope to post a pic or two in the next couple days with this "new set up". Thanks again. I always appreciate your informative posts. Splashhopper

No, I was the one without the passport so I had to stay behind... Oh well, I will have one soon.

That would have been one helluva walk

ada boy dutchy.... i wish i was there

:D

"We headed to bed around midnight. The mosquitoes were eating me alive and I couldn't sleep so I pulled an all-nighter fishing the peir and put about 10k on the leg odometer." are u telling me you out ran the mosquito's

ada boy sounds like you have a new fishing partner too

Well I didn't have any luck whatsoever. But then again, I have never fished a river that was as fast as the St Clair Dam, I didn;t have anything with enough weight to get my senko's to the bottom of that speedway. I did see one helluva lot of boat traffic though and one super noisy cigarette boat Heck, I even tried fishing an area where I saw the ducks "drifting " up-river. I could get my bait down to the bottom there and had a couple of hits, or maybe they were just rocks After about 90 minutes of that, I walked up to the french fry truck and got some poutine. (tasted like rubberized cheese on frozen fries btw) Also took a walk over to the local fishing club to see what kind of fish they were feeding. (One helluva lot of rainbows in that tank) Decided to walk down river towards the marina behind the casino. Walked thru the parking lot up to an ol boy that was working on his old wooden cruiser on the docks. I asked him if it was ok to fish the marina. His reply: " you're not supposed to, but have at it son, everybody else does". I fished the weed edges off the ends of empty docks for about 30 minutes when my buddy calls and says he cleared Canadian customs Next time I am down there, I think I will launch my canoe and fish the hell outa that area. The water was clear( 8-10 ft) but I could see dark things moving towards my senko's there. All in all, it beat the heck outa sitting in a park and listening to the punks with their "boom boom cars" driving by. No worries though, my buddy Dutchy filled me in on his adventures for the opener and he was slaying em I had a great weekend with some friends from Texas and will be out after those bass every chance I can get this week for sunset.

A friend of mine and I are driving three ppl to the Detroit airport. I don;t have a passport and will wait on the Canadian side for my buddy to get back in to Canada. On Friday when we picked our guests up, I did the same thing and dmmit of they weren't held up by the CANADIAN border guards and thoroughly checked out. ( especially my Canadian buddy) Needless to say, I sat at the McDonalds for 3 hours waiting for them... wishing I had my fishing gear with me. So, tomorrow, I am bringing a rod and my tackle bag. Gonna sit on the bank near the bridge behind the University. I have no clue what the water is like, other than it looks pretty damned fast. I was thinking of putting a real heavy bell sinker on and set a drop shot rig up. Rig it with some soft plastic pink worms and see what may take it. Was also thinking about tossing some heavy jigs etc. If anyone has fished this area at all and have any suggestions, I am all ears to kill an anticipated 2 hours or so. Or maybe I will just have a nice nap in the grass along the river.. Thanks for any help at this last hour. Splashhopper

just got a call 15 minutes ago from my wife and daughter all freaked out. They came out of my daughters Taekwondo tournament at Ryerson and were in the middle of it. They got in to a cab and the cab was immediately surrounded by "protesters" ! "protesters" started rocking the cab,.... the cabbie got the hell outa there Cabbie got them to the subway system and they are now enroute to their car in North York via subway I hope CHARGES ARE LAID AGAINST THE "PROTESTERS" AND ALL POWERS AFFORDED BY OUR GOVERNMENT TO THE POLICE ARE USED TO THE FULLEST WITH THESE

As a guy that is happily married to an IMMIGRANT for the last 16 years I have learned that REDNECK'S have their place too

thanks for the tips about worm and tube colours.. I always appreciate your posts

great story./.. I felt like " i took a trip and never left the farm" on that one

u are a good man

i forgot to mention the two ducks that have taken up residence on the patio at the local Timmies.. do they count as "wild life"... they seem to like dutchies as much as i do

I too do some work in the homeless shelters and take offense to that name.

we have zombies for wildlife here in London
