Nice. My go to lure during all seasons. Pike love em too !

Nice pike Cliff ! Im glad that you clarified the length and weight of the pike. Most people tend to think that a pike of that length is well over 20 pounds. 16 pounds seems pretty accurate to me Well done boys !

I have had many run ins with Yacht club employees/members telling me that I cant fish in " their marina " I politely tell them that I have every right to fish there and carry on with what I am doing. Once I had a guy ( who I have had run ins with before )screaming at me and we just acted like we didn't even see or hear him and just kept fishing. He was only ten feet away and his blood was boiling. pretty funny. I also have no problem telling people to take a hike either. Although I have never had to do this, I am prepared. My neighbor is the chief of the T.O. marine unit and I got confirmation from him that they cant kick you out. ( access from a boat )

In my opinion, October is the best time of year for multi species fishing. Almost everything is open. Most fish are feeding heavy in preparation for the winter months. Kawartha and Great Lakes Musky Smallmouth and largemouth bass almost anywhere Great lakes salmon and trout fishing can be really hot depending on rainfall If I could take time away from work and the family it would always be around the first or second week in October

Nice !

Quote " Nice man! Why didn't you fish in highschool? S." Quote I did ! was chasing Salmon out in the lake with the old man. Thanks for all the kind words guys !

Been on the forum for a while now. Typically I don't post much information but I try to contribute when I can. Here are a few pics from recent years to celebrate my 1000th post They say a picture says a thousand words. So here are a few thousand words in pictures Pike- Because the pike season in southern and central Ontario is so long, I spend most of my time chasing these guys. I love the visual aspect of big pike chasing and engulfing lures. Relatively easy to catch, but sometimes very finicky. Bass- What can I say, I love bass. Especially largemouth. I do enjoy targeting smallmouth a couple times of year as well. Skiis and Eyes- I really should target both species more often. Once or twice a year for each is usually enough to get my fix or a quick tasty treat. Trout- Most of my trout days happened long before digital cameras. Once I purchased a boat, I started to lose interest in trout. Here are a few pics from recent years.

Hang in there Wayne and Leah. Your family is a true inspiration to us all This thread goes to show how strong our little community is Great work OFC

My buddy caught this fish on a jerkbait years ago. We both watched the half blind fish attack the bait. The fish had an ice fishing rig tangled up around his face and his jaw was hanging off. Poor guy was still trying to eat Tough fish for sure

Nice fish. You always seem to get them wherever you go

Nice. Are you using riggers to get those fish ?

Looks like a great weekend all around. Thanks for posting

Too bad you didn't land it. I'm sure rainbows would be fighting amazing at this time of year.........while in a bass boat , fishing for bass and Muskie with a spinnerbait, with your son

Nice. Looks like you caught some really big ones

Scugog ? Just kidding. A second vote for G bay

That's amazing. Looks like a lot of work just getting the materials up there. cant wait to see the progress

Awesome !

ahhhhh good idea ! now we are getting somewhere

Looks like a great time. If the lake is the same lake that I think of, we have hand feed the loons with small smallies.

Great thread guys. Im off to Home depot to do mine tonight. Problem is that I have to go down to the launch and complete all the work in the parking lot.

Plenty of available parking down there. Better get there early to guarantee a spot. Cost $7 for the vehicle and $7 for the trailer

BPS has it in 12" x 8Ft. rolls for around $25 . a couple of pressure treated 2x4s and your good

You got those KW skiis dialed in real good !

Happened a couple times here as well. walleye/ muskie and smallie /muskie Pretty cool on light spinning gear

I second Pigeon Lake in Kawartha
