6+ inches of snow on top of glare ice ...slippery ...you bet . That and the 15-25 more cm of snow predicted has changed my plans to 'drive' out for whities on Saturday ,maybe walk out at BBP . Kevin - I'll call you tonight so I can drop off your auction item on friday ? TB

#3 ,# 3 ,#3 ! Proud to have been the official driver and photographer . When exactly did P[ikeie start to outfish me ? TB

less than 24 hrs to go Take a look not only a great cause but some deals to be had and I gotta get that Fishtrap outta my garage before I 'm tempted to use it ! TB

keep going

Randy Maybe you where talking too much tb

Randy Myabe you where talking too much tb

IPOD and fish hut check it out free shipping ! TB

What can I say .. Have yet to catch a BOQ eye but if missed fish or sheepshead are what you want I'm your man . No excuses but will be using a 'stick' next time not messin with reels, mitts etc.Also realized we were a little undersized when it came to lure and hook sizes.But Hawg Hunter quickly fixed that . Highly reccomend Hawg Hunter as he worked hard to get us on fish . Kept us on the move and even managed to find his way back to shore in the dark and blowing snow. Looking forward to meetin up again next year . Thanks Randy TB

Sorry can't help you with the huts but why not Make it a trip you'll remember and come up to Innisfil beach for the fishing for Tyler event . Great weather forecast , you won't need a hut ! Great cause , great people ,BBQ and a good channce at a prize. TB

Me and the family (5)will be there . The boys and I for 7 am ( gotta get the coffee there on time ) and the Mrs and daughter mid morning ( they bring the hot choc !) Due to the excellent conditions me and the boys plan on walking out for a shot at some bigger fish Moving back in when the girls show up and get the hut and heat set up . TB

How cool is that with good weather forecasted ( -3 , sunny breaks) we could get quite the crowd! TB

Quite the fish there Wayne ...bigger than any of my Muskies Wait I havn't caught any ! Great time had by all it appears . Best wishes to your daughter for a quick recovery ..need anything give me a shout TB

thanks Ben I'll put him in touch with you . tb

By bro in law has one . I'll bring it along check out auction items as Pigeonfisher wants to know where to send his cheque for BBall tickets . TB

welcome BB or welcome back . Never did get up to Lac Seul to try out your tips but there always this year. My oldest son is headed to either Fleming or Sault college for the Fish game technology couses .Been hinting to him that maybe he should look at spending summer working a lodge up north . Do you recomend that ? He's worried about making enough money to cover his schooling. Right now he's planning to keep working at the local grocery store He is an excellent fisherman , gets along well with most folks and I think would make an excellent guide ... but hey he's my son ! and Keep those pictures coming TB

thats what the duct tape is for !

Planning to spend a day with Pikeie on the BOQ the last week of Feb.Part of a Christmas gift ,other half is ether Nip or Temagami in March Wanting to target walleye but being cheap ... are there any areas that can be walked to from shore OR is a guide highly reccomended. We are highly mobile and don't mind drilling holes by the dozen ! Any PMs appreciated , not looking for specific locations just a starting point . thanks TB

Thanks Wayne Good idea ,its in a protected area ( not knees or butt) that should work Surprised your suggestion didn't involve rivets ! TB

Pikeie has a nice 5" gash on one shin of his suit ,Those new auger blades are sharp ! Anyone have suggestions on repair methods. I was thinking duct tape myself TB

Still a bargain to be had See Tylers Auction items for details ( Main Section) TB

heres your chance to get a great deal on Raptor Tickets . Primo seats (2) available . check it out in the Main Section , Tyler Auction... its for a great cause! ADDED BONUS! As an added incentive if the winning bid is $150 or more ( the price of one ticket!) I 'll throw in a day of guided fishing ( guided is used VERY loosely) on a lake of your choice and a species of your choice, from Georgian Bay , to Kawarthas to Simcoe . I 'll provide the gear if needed . Keep Bidding ! TB

Meely Lots of fake stone product on the market now . Easy to install to .we did a wall in our old house of fake(concrete) brick.Can NOT tell its fake Plywood backer ( want a solid wall) and installed the brick with wall tile adhesive .Then grout . TB

born in Barrie and moved back about 16 yrs ago. What I tell people if is you're moving here ( and working in TO) for the cheaper than TO houses only ...forget it . But if you also want the lifestyle (Simcoe ,ski hills etc ,the near north on your doorstep) then go fo it . I did the daily commute ( company car ) for about 12 years and survived! My job takes me all over southern ontario , so one day drive to the TO ,next day London ,next day Kingston etc Now I 'm awork from home 1-2 days a week ...not so bad. As far as fishing goes , of course Simcoe , tons of creeks and streams around ,the Muskokas and Georgian Bay keep us pretty busy year round. We also fish the valley alot ( grew up north of Kingston , have a hunt camp in the valley) and I miss all those small hidden lakes . but like I said we still get out there 5-6 times a year to fish Overall Have never regretted the move the Barrie , planning to stay .
