Congrats on your "PB" Nice fish

You are some what right Paul but from my experience it is the shoulder seasons you have to worry about (late fall/spring) At those times the mice will be looking for some where to live and the damage can be done at this time . Once the cold of winter rolls around they will move on to a warmer spot , hopefully not your house/garage

Very nice Mike , makes me want to dust off the rainbow gear and get out there.

One thing that no one has mentioned is mice , these little critters will get into everything ,so be carefull if you have mice around your storage area ! I had a friend of mine get mice into his engine and they made a nest and stored all kinds of crap in there as well as chewing up all his wiring.If I remember right it cost him several hundred bucks to fix !!

Now that looks like fun

Very well done , congrats !

Great report as always Mike , those are some real nice specks !

I agree with ya Lew , it sounds pretty easy to me .

We have had a family cottage east of Wasaga, and in my life I have never seen anything like this nor have I seen these types of ducks in the area . Very strange indeed !

On the lookout up here as well .

Get out the crawfish cranks and start casting ,the smallies will be in there thick !!!! Great video

Ya, the MEC store in Barrie will have something for you i'm sure, o and by the way I was in that area last week and the water levels are really low in both the rivers and lakes.

Thanks for the heads up , great deal ! I am going to get a pair but I am unsure about the sizing on these things ,some things you have to order a bit bigger but I don't have any idea on these suits. For those that have the suit could you please help me out , i'm 5'7 " and have a 35" waist. Thanks

I have seen some fishing pictures from this area a couple of years ago when the group was fishing in a burnt out area and I mean burnt out not a single tree for miles just blackened stumps and trees with the odd bit of green grass. It sure looked strange with a guy holding a beautiful lake trout in his canoe with the blackened moonlike landscape behind him. I guess we can consider ourselves lucky that Algonquin has not suffered this fate in a very,very long time but i'm sure her day will come, just hope it's not in our life time !

I live just north/west of Alliston and I smelled it as well (burning plastic) had to close all the windows , and you know what I can smell it again tonight in the last half hour , more of a wood smell this time. Maybe someone is having a bonfire but I don't know because it is raining out !

A couple months ago I was driving to work through Hockley Valley and I was following a cadilac suv when all of a sudden out the window comes coffee cups and paper bags with who knows what's in them , I see it is 4 teenagers and I would assume they were heading home from Wasaga.I was able to get along side of them at the next light and I proceded to explain to them that the roadside is not a garbage dump , well to my shock the kid driving the suv told me off and the passengers all flipped me the bird ! Well that didn't go to well with me so I got there plate # and phoned the cops. The dispatcher took down the info and said thanks. About 5 minutes later to my surprise an OPP officer called me back and said that she was disgusted with the litering of roadsides in our area (Caledon/Dufferin) and was going to pay the owner of the truck a visit (it was in her district) and remind them that the roads are not garbage dumps or she was going to catch them on the road and possibly issue a ticket ! I guess this punk won't be going to the beach in daddys caddy any time soon !!!!!

All I can say is "wow" and I need one of those ! Thanks for the video

JB's Fishing Depot sells pre made ones !

Option 2 would be my choice

Happy birthday Paul,hope you have a great day !

Thanks guys , i'm going to check out a couple more CT's and yes maybe I can't find them because they were on sale last week and are out of stock , Figures !!!!!

This is pretty funny because I had the same Bob Izumi rod you guys are talking about and just broke it on my last trip, this thing was tough as nails but it couldn't handle an atv roll over (tough trail) I have looked for the same rod at a couple CT stores in the area with no luck ! Thanks

I'm looking for a good/decent 2 piece casting rod that I can take on my atv trips , I have one piece rods but they are too awkward to travel with on the atv . I don't want to spend to much since it is going to be traveling around on the atv getting beat up, say around $75.00 . Any suggestions

Nice report and yes some good eyes for that area ! I fished in that area a couple years ago , we caught the train out of Foleyte and traveled north toward the game reserve.Alot of small stuff but nothing as big as these ones. Did you see any of the "white moose"that the Foleyte area is famous for ?
