misfish

I have seen the red wolf brand at CTC Harold. Walmart has them as well. Southbend might be the brand.

Sounds like a nice feed Bruce.

You lived on Simcoe, jigging is the way. Well not for musky. LOL Great fish and ya, those colours are awesome.

Agree and disagree. Yes they may know the area, but why give them a heads up. Guess that was what I meant to say before.

I can remember one post very clearly that I did a few years ago. Fishing a hole thats known by those that are willing to walk to it, I caught a real nice fresh hen salmon. A video was taken and pics posted here. No sooner I posted it, I was told that the lot will be full the next day. There was about 7-9 cars there the next morning. Most like I, were getting suited up. A couple of guys walk by and start talking about the fish I had got. Ya the one I had posted the day before. Never knew them . Like I said, the spot was known, but it just goes to show that the WWW does bring out the lurkers and gives to many updates. I post fish outings. I never give exact locations. Back ground gave this spot away. I will still post pics and reports when I want, BUT, they will be cropped. Those that dont like, thats fine with me. No one is forcing you to look or reply. The one thing I love about ice fishing. The only back ground is the ice or the black back of the hub. When it comes to ice fishing ( for sure on Simcoe) and you dont want guests, you keep the back grounds out. I,ll bet there are 100,s of guys that will totally agree with this. If you dont think so, go out perch fishing. Start hauling out in the open. See how many new friends you have real quick. Dont think I dont like to share spots, cuz I do. I get pm,s from members here that know areas I fish or areas I can help them out with. I do this like I said,pm. I only do, with those that I trust. That was not meant to be a rude comment. Just the way it is. I have gotten back the same from them on thier spots. Never, have I had to ream anyone of them out, for sharing the info. No disrespect to others views on the thread, just saying,lesson was learned,and this is the way I deal with it. So, how about that snow today? It,s got steelhead fishing,written all over it. Go fish all, get up off yer butts. Well, those that can get up and go.LOL

Thanks for the morning read FF. Nice to have a hole, all to yourself. Well done.

Nice. My go to bait as well.

Now heres a friendly post, about a great store from what I have read here many times. Good deal IMO AND NOT, even a thanks. Dont live in the area , but I will say Thanks for the heads up to all Bowslayer.

I still remember your first.

Ah ok, bi annual reports. Got it. 3lb smallies are fun. Post away.

Scrap value $15 tops.

Truely enjoyed this report and pics full of fall colours. Thanks for taking the time bud. I need to conqure my fear of gps co-ordinating. If only I was a boy scout in my younger years. .

I,ll buy that Dan. IF, thats what it was meant to be. I know just as well as others, what one thinks and types, comes accross different. Been there. LOL

It,s the comment i dont expect you guys to be out like me and pete were in 4 foot chop throwing bulldawgz I know a few of us that could go, toe to toe in this matter. LOL BTW, Did we miss this fishing report?

I dont think you got them fired up, I think you might of just got them to go else where, or not to post. I get your excitment, but a little respect, goes along way. Your 100% pass comment, was not RESPECT. My report this weekend, was of a great man that once graced this board. I dont post for recognition. Also my spelling and grammer sucks for those that wish to read, HIGH quality written reports Other then that, I will be very selective on my future posts here. It,s the way it is. No disrespect to OP here.

Well done Drew. Lots of great reading. I know Terry and I have one guide service you offer on our minds. Just need to get our dates worked out, and then contact you. Oh wait, we need to contact you first for when the bites are best. LOL All the best on your new adventure.

Looks like there was ice broken up earlier Dave. Hunters? Those are pretty fish.

You hit a home run with that one Joe.

Long read for a single fish, but I feel the need to share,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, In 2011, I bought a rod from a member. It was to my surprise once I recieved it, it turned out to be a float rod. He said it was a river rod ( noodle rod) when I had agreed to buy it. A few weeks later, it was told he had passed. This was a sad day for many here that knew him through the board. We never met,but felt like we have been friends forever. I remember him saying, you will enjoy this rod more then I would. Everytime I use this combo, I NEVER, forget whom I bought the rod from. I always look up and say, I know your up there looking down today. I have had many great days using this rod.( it,s got major mojo ) As I have done each time after each fish landed, I look up and say, Thank you. I,ll bet you enjoyed that eh. Respooled the pin last night and set it up with, 8 main and 4 lead. Woke up this morning and hm,ed and hawed on where to go, as my latest spots have not been producing. Once I had my coffee this morning, I made my decision. When your up at 4 am and theres no daylight til 7ish, I got time.LOL I arrive still with an hour til daylight. Drift after drift, Im thinking maybe my decision was not the best. As I start to see the water clarity, I realized I was using too big a bag. Switch up to a dime size white roe bag. Throw it into the pool and dip ,dip, goes the float. Almost like a goby was hitting. ( Cant believe how the rivers are full of these things ) Set the hook, as hook sets are free, It turned out to be a solid fish on. Steelhead? Just as it came up head shaking, I was seeing a fish that was not matched for this set up. It was a salmon. I knew I would have to play this fish . No putting the boots to it, or it would be gone. I remember very clear saying, your testing me aint ya bud? A slight chuckle. After about 15 minutes of close to the net,then run back out deep into the pool several times, it finaly came to it,s sences and allowed it to be netted. A late hen chinny. As I rince off my hands in the cold water, I just look up and say, that was fun eh. I talk about John Francis. John F. Cant wait til we hook up again . RESPECT

Oh quit your gryping. LMAO I looked and ya didnt post. Lots of pics of fish and kids. Lots of fun had. I post reports to support and just to share. I know that many are looking for the wheres. Hench the cropping now in all my pics. Just ask BillM. Lesson learned. LOL Short report coming soon. Had a smiling angel over me today Im sure. Thanks Bunk

90 YOA and still going. I,ll be buying his new release. HAPPY BDAY CHUCK.
