spray it with cooking spray...if you are doing fish directly on the grill, also works pretty good if you season it up..and spray one sid eof the fish with cooking spray, put that side on the grill, spray the other side before you flip it

nice going on the fish for team 1

nice going coach..gotta love the shows at the busy ramps some times. I be doing some channel cattin myself in the next few days..I got word of some big ones being caught up into the 15lber range

alright put away the BB gun....... you'll shoot your eye out....eye out...eye out...........

aha, you almost got me..I see you are gonna be like TroutnMuskyHunter this year too eh..I will catch one, get us on the board, then you guys will beat it way to go, nice fish..we're tied

ya probably couldn't becasue your ams where too sore from catching all those fish

right on guys,that's why when people on these here interweb sites all look around at the posts and then try and hound you for all your fishing holes on thier 1st post...I come back with things like......read back in the forum, you will soon find that the guys who are going out there,having a blast and catching a load of fish, put in thier time, do thier homework, and get out there and catch them

really big papers

yep not the spot for a 12 footer on the back drift...this winter there has been people out there..3 people I might add, in one of those folding porta-boats

here is a question then.....did you get written up for it..if so, do you have a built in gas tank?...if not it is not manditory, although a smart idea to have one aboard

right on, that's a nice one, it's that time of eyar where the fish in the teens are coming out to frollic

my old 12 footer pushed along pretty good with my 9.9 on it...I since retired the boat due to issues with the transom..(2 small cracks at the top where the motor goes....now my kids use it for a row boat and I run the 9.9 on my 14 footer. Your 12 may say it's rated for a 15, but I think that's a little pushing it for a 12 footer, I seen a guy 2 summers ago with a 12 and a 15 on it, he was trying out the motor....he dug a small wave and got thrown from the boat..the boat was then stuck in WOT doing a circle almost running him over, all he could do was grab onto the boat so it wouldn't hit him, and hold on while it went in circles all over the place..he managed to pull the gas line off the tank and had to hold on until it ran out of gas....luckily in the end he came out of it with only a sore arm it was a good deep 12 footer, the 15 was too much motor for the boat.

not teasing...I AM going fishing tommorrow

mine has a 10 year expiration date on it...it was bought in 2003 when we got the boat, says...dispose of on or before 2013 on it I give it a couple good taps every year upside down..still fully charged

that's a great springtime boat checklist tip

nice looking brown and beauty day to get out in the boat

nice report, I always love seeing posts about good time shared with family on and around the water

I hear ya on that one!!! beautiful, I been outside puttering too, had to change a rim/tire on my boat trailer, now I am going to do some spring cleaning in the boat from all the steelhead slime in it, too cold to clean it up the last couple months when I get home after fishing Then it's time to give all the screws, nuts and bolts the once over and see what needs to be tightened up ect, and she is good to go fishin again ..maybe even tommorrow

I will gladly be the camera man any day..same as in my boat, I like to catch them, but I am just as happy to see everyone one else get them too...my boat has seen some pretty good numbers this season too!!!!! I am changing my tire on my trailer today then I am good to go pending the wife's schedule this week

I will try and get you out really soon man!!! And Cliff, yepper as for the last minute invite to pop on my buddy's boat, I was happy to take it, haven't been able to get mine out for like 2 weeks, our van was in the shop cuz someone decided they wanted to crash into my wife and pay for some body work on my van and I been waiting for a nice day to change one of my rims and tires on my boat trailer, last time out I got a ding in a rim and now it has a slow leak

I wouldn't say he was knocking the Niagara Fishery...when you catch a 5 lber one drift and a 12 lber the next, they aren't cookie cutters it's a diverse mix of a couple strains of fish..been getting lots of big fin clipped stockers thuogh...good year for it from all the stocking 4-5 years ago..thanks to the US side

good job man,you would be surprizes how much angler input helps the MNR decide some factors attributing to the regs...I am involved in a walleye stocking program every spring with the MNR and as a direct result a couple people I know helped change the regs on "inland" pike fishing around here to help lessen the impact on the walleye spawn since pike was open at the same time as walleye closure in the same areas and spawning gorunds...it was then decided that pike would be closed at the same time as walleye for FMZ 16 when the 2008 regs came out

no but the middle 2 did , started the drift, I got one, we did the CPR,I was manning the electric motor for my buddy, so after I got the boat straightened out again and put my line back in because we still had about 1/2 the drift left we could fish, then I got the other one. It started off a little slow becasue of the muddy conditions, but once we threw a pattern on the fish we had some decent action for a while, my buddy lost 2 that where well into the teens I didn't throw a measurement on the fish although it was longer than the one I have entered for Team#1, we where in my buddy's small boat, I set out to do some shore trashin and got an invite to hop aboard so there was 3 of us in the boat, not much room for getting all fancy with tapemeasures and such I will get a bigger one by the end of the tourney anyways

alright, I brought my guitar, and my little one brought her harp

Set out to do some shore trashin today..ended up running into a couple good fishin buds and fellow nut job steelie anglers just about to head out in the boat. I was about to make some tracks to a quieter area on acount of the crowd that was already there, and low and behold, got an un expected invite out in the boat to join them for the day. Good thing I always throw the floater jacket in with me Water is less than perfect...about the tannish colour of a cardboard box for lack of a better term We worked the crap out of one small area that's been putting out a few when the conditions are off. Took a while to find the right colour pattern to use for the day but all in all dispite the ice in the morning( spot was making ice as we fished ) and the less than a foot viz of brown water, we winded up going 8 for 12 for the day......this 4 is the contribution I made to the 8 I just noticed the "money shot" on the smaller one chicka..chicka...wahhh...wahh...say hello to Uncle Milty!
