That was a amazing report, best of 2009!! lol it must of been a great 5 days of fishing...i love the pic of u up in the tree sleeping. Thanks for sharing and congrads on that amazing trout.

lmao

Who here has ever fished either a amateur or professional tournament? Next year i would like to try a amateur junior weekend type of tournament and i was just a little curious as to who has fished tournaments before. If yes, how did you do and what advice would you give to another person thinking of trying out tournament fishing. I have seen some of the shows on the Canadian Fishing Tour with the amatures at the back of the boat with the pro in the front and i would think something like this(even if it's a one time thing) would be very beneficial and would make a great learning experience. In my opinion every angler would love to win something like the Bass Master Classic and be on top of the fishing world. That little OFC tournament i did with Little Angler made me appreciate every single bass i caught because i took my time and did the best i could do. Weighing every fish and putting on a big smile for the camera made this trip probable one of the most memorable trips of my life. P.S. does anybody know of a event like what im looking towards??

When i went there last month to their open house, i went into the fish and wildlife tech classroom and they had ducks and a few fish and i think a fox they were looking at. I love the hands on work and everybody was really enjoying their self. They also have a Musky Restoration Project they have been doing for Lake Simcoe!(absolutely amazing) the students help take care of the fish and all sort's of things, there is also a atlantic salmon project they have been doing but i did not get any info on that.

Thanks for the advice, the thing is i would love to move to another province and get that job that i need. There is nothing wrong with change and i would love to do something like this. But im pretty sure this fish and wildlife technology program is a 3 year program now...and my plan was to take the Natural Resources-Law Enforcement program as my "2nd step". I think i was misunderstood by people thinking i want to be a conservation officer and nothing else. The good thing with these programs is that they open the door's to very many oppurtunities and options once completing college. And after every year working as a summer student with CLOCA would be a great deal of experience for myself. I have only done about 40 hours of community service with CLOCA and i have loved every minute

lol, im going to the dentist in about 15 minutes to get my wisdom teeth checked out... and most likely pulled out in the next few days

I agree it may be, but a Conservation Officer who i did some of my community hours with told me that alot of their summer students some from fleming and they have maybe not became CO's but they have had other positions in the feild like the park warden, and fishery officer out on the ocean.

Talking to the coordinator of the Fish and Wild Life Tech program he said that a lot(not all) of their graduates have got full time careers directly out of college doing things like: becoming conservations officers in Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba. There were a few that have become Fishery Officers for the department of fisheries and oceans, US forest rangers and things such as Police, RCMP, OPP...all of the opportunities are open to me. Fleming college graduates will have many opportunities and will I not be left working at MacDonald’s lol. I have done my research and have talked to 2 Conservation officers and the guys that run this program, I know of the risks but also the benefits. Even some were set up being Park Wardens....not completely sure but over the next few years there is suppost to be a lot if CO retiring...could be a good thing

Cool i never saw the options before lol, i like the OFC Reflect and the driftwood.

Providing i get in i will be going to Sir Sandford Fleming College this September, Frost Campus (Lindsay). The program i will be taking is the 3 year Fish and Wildlife Technology program, from there i want to go even further and do the 1 year Natural Resources Law Enforcement program. I would love to know some stories of individuals who have gone to Fleming college, or know of people that have gone because i know nobody personally who has gone there. thanks, Mike

You are right about the color red being filtered out quickly in the water, that is why red hooks are good to use only in shallow waters. If you are going 4ft or deeper the hooks may "dissapear" and that might not be a bad thing...

Nice fish! 7.4lbs man thats a big bass, congrads on a successful year. Thanks for sharing

I need to get another hook sharpener, it deffinately makes a difference.

I like that spinnerbait kit on that site. That would be something interestering to do(make your own). Thanks for the site, i trust you have used those products before.

Has anybody seen the causeway at Lake Scugog...now that is discusting and pathetic

I like the way you think, WOO Lets Go Canada!

lmao, sweet pictures. Thanks for sharing!

lol, not really a fascination i just like their products. I asked this question because the hooks their lures come with seem to be very good hooks. I need to replace hooks on a few lures and i wanted to know of the brand rapala uses. Hopefully i can find these VMC hooks at BPS.

does Rapala make their own hooks or do they get their hooks from another company? If another company witch brand, they seem to be very good hooks but i need to replace 2 from a older lure.

WOW deffinately a jumbo, congrads! What is the Ontario record weight for a perch?

WooHoo got to love bass fishing!!! Very nice pictures and looks like you have had no problem catching some BIG fish last year, Thanks for sharing!

I am in now way fishing for bass through the ice. I simply would like to know as to why bass are to be left alone during the winter months. I know they are OOS but im just a little curious as to why exactly.

wow those pike and bass were amazing. I love the close up shots of the pike...very beautiful fish! Thanks for sharing

Ya thats the only model i saw there to...o well im sure they will have more there soon.

I have these small 1" crappy tubes that make my little brother happy fishing for sunfish and perch...
