I flew over it on Saturday and it still looked pretty frozen to me in the middle.

Great videos Steve. Been watching Chris's videos for awhile, and now your videos. Was weird watching your vids first and then the video Chris posted today. Different vantage points, Great stuff though. My hats off to you sir.

Thanks for all the replies. I have zero expectations of it and if it doesn't work, plenty of other things to do. Most of you have confirmed what I was thinking re: kids, attention span, snacks and buckets. Watch this space, you never know what might happen. Thanks again. Doug.

I remember it well, you are extremely tall if I remember correctly. I find that creek very interesting as I am a biologist and it always amazes me how those fish get there. Thanks for the PM.

Dear OFC members, I have not been active at all, although I read the board all the time.Stuff to clear. Roy, I believe I said something rude to you a couple of years ago and I am genuinely sorry. Was having a bad day. I still remember the thread and what I said, sorry. My reasons for inactivity from a fishing perspective are now four years old and two years old. Fishing has taken a major back seat obviously, I married late in life and we had kids quick. Life has been a blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Anyhoo, we have rented a cottage for a week in Tiny ON (on Balm Beach) and I am really excited, because my son is showing interest in fishing. I know nothing of the area and honestly, I am asking for your sunfish and/or bluegill hotspots.Is there anywhere around there? The lady we are renting from is unsure, said there is a dock people fish from. Any info will be kept top secret. PM me if necessary. I thank you in advance. Cheers Doug.

That is an old tale and not true. Birds will not reject an egg or baby bird because of a human touching it. If the bird started to follow, it is imprinting on the person. As a biologist, I would have taken it, but in general you are right Misfish. Leave all wild animals alone. Nature is a fickle beast. NIce fish Chris.

We went through 2 sump pumps in 4 years, thankfully with no major floods. Our house is only 7 years old. Doesn't seem right. We ended up bringing in a plumbing company who did some thing in the pit (and I don't know what it was) and put in a certain make of sump pump (Edit, we had bought a pump and when they saw what we had they laughed and said no. Its not like the pump they put in was expensive compared to the one we bought). No problems since. That was 2 years ago. I can go down and see what make it is if you want. We have alot of standing water near our house.

Its rugby sevens they are playing. Its very popular particularly in the South Pacific countries. No surprise Fiji won it. If you type in rugby sevens in wiki, it has a great page with all the history of it.

I went out twice a few years ago in March from Miami Beach on party boats, and it really wasn't very good. I think I caught 3 fish in a total of 10 hours fishing and nothing caught on the boat was very big. Someone did catch a small shark, and we saw a 8 foot hammerhead very close to the boat on the surface, but the actual fishing was not great. On one trip we went out at midnight and I think that is when I caught the fish, the one during the day was rubbish. We did drive down to the keys, cannot remember where exactly, but a private charter came in with at least 20 mahi mahi. If you have time, what drifter said.

Fantastic stuff. I lived in Vancouver for 4 years and never went fishing. Possibly one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made.

I'm really sorry for your loss Wayne.

Not that exotic Rich is acting like no-one ice fishes there. Confronted guys walking away with way over their limit. Being 6"3" and 300 lbs I can do that because no-one typically is dumb enough to mess with me. The secret species or 2 is not spectacular, just not well known about and can only be caught in certain areas which apparently Rich is lucky enough to hit in 4 hrs. They are not in there thick, just there. First fish I ever caught in there ice fishing was one of them. I wish I was a conservation officer in Ontario, like some people here seem to think they are. Its why I don't post here anymore. This site is full of wankers who think they are the law. Go ban me Roy, couldn't give a crap. They guy asked about ice fishing around London. I hope he contacts me and we can go fishing together. Thats the point. Opinions are like cuties. Cuties????? Seriously, thats the best you could come up with? Lets all be secretive and never fish anywhere that anyone else every could, like Dorchester. Good one Rich. I thought you were better than that. And I know where the pinks run. Maybe I'll let that out next.............................

Yeah sure Rich, cause no-one ice fishes in Dorchester.

Dorchester Mill Pond is OK. Pike, crappies, bluegills, pumpkinseed, usually fairly constant bite if you fish the deep runs. There is another species in there, but it is not widely known, so I ain't posting what. If you want to know, send me a pm. And no I don't mean bass I'll defo hit it at some point, so if you wanna go keep it in mind.

Nice fish Chris. I picked up a nice silver hen in a huron trib monday morning. Water actually dropped in level while we were there. Need some serious amount of sustained rain.
