I am sorry to hear about your loss .

Some nice "pick eyes" ,was definitely a good year for you and your buds . Cheers to the fellow Green Bay fan as well

Thanks for sharing that Simon . Love the laker reports !

As a die hard Packer fan I have to say that was one game for the ages . From the highs of that hail mary pass to the lows of Fitz running down the field , what a game . We got burned on a couple non calls in the 4th but that's the way it goes . Rogers and the rest of the patch work team really stepped it up tonight and almost sent the Cards home for the year . Anyways the best team one tonight but man did those Packers have fight !!! Now on to next season and hopefully we will have a healthy one

Nice haul of crappies , way to go . That ice looks good and solid .

Ahhhhhh let me think about this one for a second , Yes !!!!

Great video , thanks for taking the time and sharing that with us

Nice haul there Joey , love the backwoods reports . My kind of fishing

No shut down at YYZ (Pearson) Just going out the door now and heading down to the tarmac to park/push some planes around . At least it is nice weather out , that will be the only plus to working today .

Merry Christmas everyone . I will be down at YYZ (Pearson) for the next couple days doing my ramp duties for Air Canada . Not a good time to be working but someone has to do it . It's a very hectic time down there right now to say the least . Cheers all

For sure TJ , Thanks for having us Merry Christmas everyone .

Wow , that's crazy Lew . Look at how green your grass is . Probably looks better now then it did in August eh ? I know mine does .

For those that are interested and maybe be thinking on heading out on to the lakes somewhere Thursday morning . Be on alert for damaging winds and stormy weather . There will be a squall line blowing through the area of southern ,central and northern Ontario early Thursday morning with wind gusts possibly reaching 100 km/hr out of the SW . Hardest hit areas are predicted to be north of a line from Goderich to Barrie to Bancroft . Warnings from EC should be issued for these areas in the next couple hours .

One of the best stories and pictures on the net , bar none . That place has been on my bucket list for awhile now , one day I will make it up there . Love jigging lake trout and that place looks like "lake trout jigging heaven" Thanks again Bunk , great job !!!

Hope nobody got caught in any bad road situations this evening . Just got back from Orangeville and the roads are terrible . Several vehicles in ditches and what looked like a head on just north of Orangeville on #10 . Looks like we got around 15-20 cm here in north Dufferin today .

I have a bit of weather knowledge along with some friends in the " industry" some times these guys are wrong but most of the time they are always on top of weather events in the area . Having said that , some squalls for Friday and some system snow for Saturday followed by more squalls Saturday night into Sunday . Storm is still building on the west coast but should intensify as it moves east .

For those lucky or unlucky folks (depends on how you look at it) that are heading out this weekend to do a little fishing be aware that the Georgian Bay snow belts are expecting 15-30 cm of snow Friday - Sunday . Special weather statements have just been issued for the Parry Sound area and down through Muskoka . The area will probably be expanding along with some weather warnings being issued in the next day . Be prepared for winter driving conditions in this area over the weekend .

Man , that would piss me off . What a bunch of losers .

Well done Dutch .

Beauty lakers , nice to get out for some late season action . I'm jealous I really like that pearl spoon , might have to get me some of those , thanks for the tip .

I forgot to mention that Brian , every trip we only catch one fish .........LOL !!! Not really . Thanks Joe , ya maybe get you in there next year ! I have been told that a couple times Sure does Lew , sounds like you have a couple C&R stories yourself Have never caught it on our annual spring trip , just in August and September !

Lots of people say this chris and it obviously is not the case . Live release works . This fish is a jig fish and its coming out of 50 ft of water during the warmest water period (August/September) We tend to not bring them up too fast and try not to fight them hard around the boat (thats when they stress) As well as a quick picture . I'm not going to lie but one of those times my friend dropped the fish in the bottom of the boat and it went under the seat and we couldn't get it out for a bit , we thought she was a gonner but wouldn't you know it she slowly swam away and returned to our boat this past August alive and well . These fish are more resilient then you think even when you unfortunately don't practice "good live release" at times This is a natural lake trout lake chris . Sure does !!! Not to many people fish this lake so they don't see many lures Actually we do , this is a jig fish coming out of 50 ft of water every time

My condolences Mike .

Way to go Mike , can't wait

Great report as always there Mike . I know I have said it before but thanks for putting these reports together , they are a bit of work ! I like to go through these fishing reports again throughout the winter to cure those winter blues , thanks
