Just got back in (Minets point area )and the conditions are fine,very little slush and its supposed to cool down on the weekend. Go for it it'll be gone in a few weeks 1/2 doz perch and a few Smelt for our troubles. TB

Lots of action today ! Finally someone outbid me on the Abu rod/reel so I could bid on what I really want TB

Last guess Victoria Harbour ? TB

Mike I'll shoot you a PM later . dave

well I was half right ! Been there just can't think of the name TB

Midland Bay = No Muskie

Great Report Mike Your wife seems a bit camera shy ! If you're still interested in a day on the ice let me know . TB

Take a look there is even 'free 'delivery on some items ! TB

good luck ..hope you have more action then we did on saturday. look fwd to the report

Reminds me of the old joke .. " you're from Canada ? Do you know Peter Kay?" ok I never said it was a good joke tb

Lots of Birch lakes out there .Maybe give a bit more info . Used to trout fish one north of Kingston but I doubt thats the one you are referring to. TB

Wow Thanks for the info guys . Let me do a bit of searching Again really appreciate your insight. btw expect to be there end of July early Aug Ben expect a PM ! TB

Looks good Think I saw it on Saturday your straight out from the baot launch ,the first hut. Tinbanger

Thinking about taking a trip this summer to Dryden ON for a visit with my Sister and family . Would also like to spend a week in the general area (S.S.Marie north (west)on our own as a family . Don't think there is a bad lake just looking for any reccomendations/good experiences Looking to either rent a cottage or camp (tent).Lodges are a bit out of our price range (5 people) Prefer a larger lake as we will haul or own boat (17' 90hp) also willing to travel short distances from base camp for day trips species focus Pike ,walleye,even bass ! Have been thinking Lake Nipegon area. Any and all comments appreciated. And I promise lots of pics! Tinbanger

Have a look at Tylers Auction items , new items are being added almost daily . A good cause and some awesome items to be bid on. TB

Glad to hear you had a good time despite the mishap. Should have stayed with us !! maybe you could caught that 3 rd place fish the Pikeie caught ! Tinbanger

open vent !

Terry You should have no trouble getting on the lake from the other lot .Maybe 100yds max and nice and flat. We should try a grab the parking spots closest to the lake and perhaps haul a couple of picnic tables over for bbq and prizes TB

Posted this in the official thread as well . Lot F at the boat ramp is closed off as there is a midway set up there ,so looks like the lot next to it (G?) will have to suffice .As most will be there early hopefully parking won't be an issue .Late arrivals ( my wife and daughter) may have a tougher time of it. TB I'd pay money to see a bunch of floater suits on the Tilt and Whirl !!

Stopped by the park on the way home .Looks like we have lost our set up spot we had last year at the ramp ( Lot F?) as a mini midway has been set up there Should be able to set up at the edge of the adjoining lot ,but for anyone coming late rin the morning parking may be tough . TB btw I'll throw a garbage can and bags into the trailer tonight . I can dispose of our garbage on Monday at work .

SlowPoke is most likely right , but end of the day ...you get stood up ! Wish I had known sooner , #1 son works at Zehrs in Barrie maybe could have got a deal . Ah always next year .Don't fret too much maybe a few extra $$ will be donated so the cost of food doesn't take away from reason we are all there . TB

Looks like you got lots of 'friends' here Lew , Enjoy your mini holiday. Misfish ...just wanted to shut you up TB

Lots of spare equipment for any and all who attend , nice mild sunny weather , hot coffee ,good food and friendly faces ...no excusesnot to come . And it even appears the fish are biting More huts than I remember last year surprisingly littel slush out there today and this coming cold snap aught to firm thing up nicely. See all on Saturday Tinbanger

Misfish = elephant type brain !! Look me up on Saturday I have a surprise for you TB

welcome aboard Where do you do most of your fishing ? We hail from Barrie and usually hit Sparrow 2-4 timesd a year . Home water is Simcoe (3 mins from home) Looking fwd to the reports Tinbanger
