misfish

That one caused a tear.L M A O.

Sweet and innocent,then she met you.LOL Happy B-Day M.

Is there a difference between the two Roy LOL

2006 regs are to be used. This was anounced in December.

Just read the local paper,seem the major concern is the stench. For those that live in Chatham,they apparently know to well what the smell is like. The CEO of northern Ethanol said the Barrie plant would have a system to control the odur,they call it the "regenerative thermal oxidizers"it appaerntly "burns the smell". Another concern was more truck traffic on the HWY.That I dont have a problem with,thats why I moved north,so I could get a head start on it.LOL Looks like we have a couple of years yet to worry,cOnstruction wont be starting til late 08 or 09,if it happens at all. They are also waiting for a certificate of approval from the MOE. The cost of the plant,200,000,000 dollars.

I believe I seen a report from Skud stating the ice was becoming honey combed., Thats enough to make me stay off.

They use to hold pro/am,s there . Then when the limit for bass was lessen,the tourneys stopped. I believe it was the GM series that ran it back then. Yep, get it on and hope it dosent get off.

You really need to get out more.LOL You can bet they got thier greedy paws in it Roy.There was a meeting with the city last night. Be interesting what came of it. All I know is they said the building was coming down and the new plant was going up. Back door politics maybe.

Well on Erie this maybe true,as there were boat clusters on well known spots (from what I seen),but on Simcoe you may see at the most ,2 maybe three, on a spot,but that would not be for long. I have been out there, just fishing when a tourney is on, and not seen more then a handful of bassboats the whole morning. There are many spots to fish. As for luck,well,,,,,,,,,,Im not sure about that,there is some luck but,these guys do thier home work and spend a week if not more to find the green fish.Some have that luxury,some dont,so if the weekend guy finds them on the opening day,well I guess thats luck,but alot of these guys know the lake and have thier spots and go to spots. I guess after many years of fishing,these guys know where they are going,but we all know with the changing of clarity of the water and invasion of spieces,the fish habitat changes every season or so.Fox island is a prime exaple to start. Use to be nice rock bottom,but is being taken over with weed. So,now the fish move and you are on the move as well to find them. This season I will quickly prefish my spots I found this year on the lakes I fished last year,but will move on and look for other new spots,this giving me other spots to fish if they are not there when I found them the week before. Just to add,if I dont win a tourny,thats just fine with me. I always leave with the satisfaction, I competed and learned and had a great time doing so. Sure I may be disappointed at times,but Im learning and thats the main thing. Bring on the next day,I say.

Not only is the probability of an explosion possible,the stench,yes the stench,will be over whelming.I use to live by a milk bone plant in Bramalea, and every morning ,when I walked to the bus stop,the smell would make me throw up,right there on the walkway to the bus. Gross. There is alot of vacant land on the outskirts of Barrie to have this plant,why put it right in the city? Do they think the 400 hwy will give them exposure ? Why not have it out in the country in the middle of a CORN FIELD!

You can still fish them. All that is required is you didnt fish as a pro the last two years in the SS. Thats what I have read and been told.

I know for those that dont live here probly dont give a filtered try again please,but myself ,it,s a bit to close to a residential city,well right in the city to be exact.For those that dont know where it,s going,well remember when Barrie became famous for the plant ,that grew the plant,yep, the old Molson property.They will be tearing the plant down and putting up this corn mashing plant to make Ethonol. Pretty scary filtered try again please if you ask me.

The season closed on the 15th

Nice job Ron. Not into the musky much,but you did a great job on the site. GEEK

And for those that get a chance to pre fish with one of these guys,make sure your hooks are BENT, right over.Right Dave That was a great day.

Man of reason. I got dibs on the clam.LOL

Looking at the picture,I am ready to rip the shrink wrap off the ol boat and Im ready for blast off.

Are they really worth it ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

It all depends on the book yer reading,some have 10 12 15,along book will have 20. Sorry I,ll say 11 Just checked 1o is correct.

I believe it was stated to kmb. I maybe wrong. You can though check your pm,s.LOL

Yes I/we need to realize that all will not bring in the five pigs,toads hogs,what ever you want to call them,but like said,you will learn. Just because a pro isn't on fish,doesn't mean he doesn't know what he or she is doing. They were there during prefish,but gone today. Thats fishing. Thats what happen when I fished with Darren Jacko, We got on them the second day,at the weigh in, Bob ask how the day went,we told him,and his comment was,they came back up eh. Everyday is different. Terry and I learned first hand from each other,they are not always there. L M A O. More not,then are. HEHEHE And the down side to tournaments is,boats don't start,motor falls off,spin a hub,trolling motor dies,these kind of things do happen at times,and makes for a miserable long day. Happen when I was out with Wayne. I turned the key off and for some reason the key tumbler spun inside and the power never shut off. Dead battery and you need alot of juice to crank over that Varado. Long tow up river.

Hey Eddy,I still enjoy those days up at my pops on the off weekends.

Not much more can be said then what these guys have already. It,s a rush,it a great time,great professionalism,you will learn SO much. Had the honor and privilege to fish the Charles and David from the board. Got to meet the rest of the clan,just never was lucky enough to draw their names out of the hat. I fished it for one season. Then I was hooked and bought my first boat. I'm no wheres near these top guys,but I feel I can compete and one day be there.I like being the boater as well.LOL Heres some pictures from the past. This was first day on Erie with the iceman Simon Frost. After that it was smooth sailing.LOL Have fun out there,and hang on.Some guys out there only have a consol to cover them not the co-angler.

Looks like yer buddy there popped out of a bottle of champian.LOL Nice bow. Yep the regs,they sure help a fella stay out of trouble.
