the view from the sundeck to the water. where more stories are told and beers are drank...

i like the grub's on a bullet jig.

nice fish.

to the left of where you launch!

I've had cops called on me for much less (swimming + splashing in a pool = to loud) so next time call the cops or MNR. Beer or other drinks in a boat don't mix hence the drunk driving laws. Hey, if we have to play by the rules so does everyone else...

there are to many quotes to quote so... The dang thing hit a jig while fishing for walleye's. I had it tailed! I fugured it was safe but boy was I wrong... The odd part is, it was off the dock as I was fishing for bass or lazy walleye around 8:00AM... I WISH I was at the cottage tomorrow for another try but I have a VERY ILL family member that I must be near so my fishing is done for this weekend...

Well today was looking like a great day at the cottage. I even got my first musky ever! now, is it OK to cry when you are about to take the hook out of the fish and it gets away on you? this mid 30" musky snapped it's jaw as it was not to happy with me and bit through the line just as I was reaching with the pliers to go for the hook. All I was thinking (other than NOOOOOO!!!!!!) was I knew I should have had the boka-grip on it! I'm even more mad with myself as I only had 10lb line on (as was not my musky rod) and I was going to respool it yesterday with 20LB spiderwire... On the good side, yesterday was my best day on the lake for bass and walleye's. A buddy came by and we fished for 2.5 hrs and boated in total 7 SMB all in the 2.4LB to 1.8LB range, one 21 3/4" walleye and one 18" walleye. All bass went back and if my buddy send's me the pic's from his blackberry I'll post them. ALL fish caught of soft "plastic" baits too!

good on ya Dirk! one I can think of close to home is The Children’s Wish Foundation @ 725 Westney Road South, Unit 7, Ajax, ON L1S 7J7

bring your gear for the pike

an anchor and the light must be waterproof.

You know where the cell tower is by the c-store? take the path South to the pond

The whistle is if you go over as it's a lot louder then you are. people can hear it over the motor most of the time. as for the flashlight, waterproof and working.

I took it off all my reels and only use it as backing on my baitcaster as filler. It's not round and doesn't cast well. I have never had a problem with spiderwire on any reel.

AHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA broke-back-fishing?

good luck, I'm sure it will be fine.

AHHH HAHAHAHA. Have a lolly pop...

ya know what? I never have. it's just another chemical in the water if you do.

FYI, do not run a trolling motor long at all out of the water. A few seconds here and there should not kill it BUT if you are farting around with the speeds and so forth out of a full bucket of water or lake then you can do damage to the unit. next time you have it out of the water, take the prop off and make sure there are no weeds all twisted up in there too.

That wasn't normal dust, HAHA

LeBaron in Markham is now my #1 spot. gagnon's in oshawa cost more (not inc. the 10% discount option) but the service/help is good when you can find/get it. BPS and all others in the GTA are not out of my way to shop due to my job but I'm still sticking with LeBaron as my NO1.

come on Garry, it's because you have held up to many big fish over time. much like a golf club you just need to regrip every now and then...

Sorry for your loss and happy to hear you found your key to a great family life/balance.

Ahh, another good month had by Garry and co. some great fish there. As for the 6-year old (or so) with a baitcaster, DANG! if I don't have a tail wind every few casts it's a birds nest... LOL!

when I have it rigged, the tip is hidden in the channel in the bait. you know, that missing part for the hook to sit in. I also push the tip over the top of the hook so its on my line and hook head. no problems with weeds for me that way.

here ya go
