misfish

Those are wise words Rick. Well said.

It,s the notty, so navigatable waters. The public has the high water line and thats it. Edit to add. If one wanted to walk the line, it would be a chore and a half, but Im not saying it couldnt be done. I guess it depends on how much you really want a salmon.LOL

Allow me to repeat the history for you all. I moved to Barrie in the mid 80,s, My first experince up here for the salmon run was in Angus. Long side dirt road lead to a house at the end. Talked to the owners and they allowed people to fish and even keep thier tin river boats on thier property. Fishing was great and all was quiet and clean. As the years went on, the mess started to unfold. The owners posted signs. Respect the land. Then it was , keep it or lose it. They went as far as to put 50 gal barrels with garbage bags and a porta potty. Well the cans were used most of the time, there was still garbage being left. The kicker to end one spot was the burning of the porta potty. So they posted up to thier line NO TRESSPASSING. The next owner had to deal with the same troubles. So now they just closed it right off. I dont blame them one bit. We could also talk about the pine river. Here it was closed at this one spot due to the land owner being assaulted. Ya thats cool eh. They are not Bob. Bob, yes needed a hug. Or maybe a bottle of wine to allow access to his beach. LOL

This is something totally different John. Garbage and fires are the main concern. I have a spot I fish that has a sign now, keep it clean or lose it. This spot would be a great lose to guys like I, that are there to fish and enjoy the quiet. This place WAS out of the way, but like everything else on the WWW, someone opened up their yap and well, now there is more cars and trucks then I have seen in many years. Parking is limited, well so it was. Now they find the need to just park in the farmers field. UNREAL.

Yes you can. Guys put in canoes,small punt row boats. Nothing can stop you from that. You can stand on the shore as long as it,s not above the high water line. This I hope, the owner understands. I really dont think he has an issue with that. it,s the garbage and fires that pisses them off. Alot of forest there.

Atleast I am able to say,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I GOT TO FISH WITH ONE OF THE GREAT O F N,OFC,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, LIVING LEGENDS

A while back I posted about a large amount of river access lost due to ignorance. I guess some of the actions that were taken before, chained off,trees cut down to stop access, was not working. So if you dont see this and comply, you are an ignorant person. Yes the same as the ones that had the owner cut access. I dont fish this area. I did how ever ,LIKED, to walk the area and see how folks were doing. The more I walked it, the more crap I seen and garbage.

Also, get large pieces of cardboard to get your deck layout right. TEMPLATE.

I wish I had my old pics of my 14 ft Sylvan I did. Turned out really well for my first time. I did a quick paint pic of what I did. If you want to ask any questions, feel free. I can try and explain what I did. I made the casting deck from the front bench to the bow. I cut a hole for the battery. Made a SS drop box in the floor for it. The live well, I cut the size of the well I made from aluminum and welded in the middle seat. Removed the styrofoam so it fit snug and flush with the seat. Im not much for describing, but those that fished with me when I had it, can tell you it was well thought out and worked just fine. Battery in front, gas in the back. I also had a control panel so I could activate the well, bildge pump, finder and cut the power to the front trolling motor. All what I did ,came from help of the great board members here years ago. A member I sold the boat to here, still owns this boat. Last I heard. Maybe if he see,s this, he can chime in on how it,s still going for him.

Hey Nick. I seen a real nice flock Sunday near cold water. Talking to a guy that hunts up there alot ,was saying the farmers are turning thier fields already. I have noticed though here in the bay, the duck population is growing real fast. I am down there at dark in the mornings and just sit there listening to them quacking away. Gets the old hunting blood going. Yes I know Im just teasing myself as I wont be shooting any.LOL

That looks like some great eats there. Nice shoot,n and hook,n.

I am an early morning guy that likes to be on the road in the early hours of the morning when Im going fishing. I enjoy getting to my spot nice and early and enjoy my time and want to arrive safe. I always have in the back of my mind, there is probly someone driving under the influance. This morning my fear was a reality. I could see this high beam coming towards me. I blink the highs as a reminder to go low. Nothing. Then I noticed a bit of side to side. I slow down and pull over to the dirt side of the road. Then out of the blue behind the driver, the blue/red lights start to flash. Mr. police man is on him. ( how long did he follow him) I have no idea if this person was impaired or not, Could of been fatige. I cant judge. All I want is to go fishing, and arrive alive and get home alive.

Yup ,like I said, Nothing is wrong, on how to fish a bait. I got a real nice pickeral on a top water last year. Surprised the doo doo out of me.

Thought you were headed to Nip. Me bad, Im sure your going to have a great time out MID EAST.LOL

Good to hear Lew. You and Di enjoy your trip north.
