Switch up the spoon with a crank bait perch rapalas are my favourite. You may also want to try tiiping the spooon with a minnow. Long time no see. What lake are you on. Nemo

Right on brother beauty fish.... Love it

Hey Cookslav thanks for the photo I was doing some googling and found this..hilarious March 15 / 2008 - New World Record Walleye Through The Ice I have no information yet but this might be a new world record Walleye for ice fishing. The Walleye is 23 pounds and was caught on Helen Lake near Steamboat Bay. If you have any information or more pictures of this fish, please email them to me at [email protected] Please Note: Some people think this picture might be a fake. Ontario Out of Doors Magazine is investigating the fish. Looks fake to me but maybe Terry can give his expert opinion.

Wow glad to hear everything is OK. Hopefully your wife can relax and heal up fine. You're right some of the modern medicine available is extraordinary. Nemo

Hey Bly I forgot about that fish. Very nice.

Thanks for the notes gents. Did some looking around and found some video of a fish of the same size. Of course I thought mine looked bigger (LOL) but it will give you some idea of size. "Jim Dicken, fishing out of Green Island Lodge hooks a gynormous Walleye. This walleye went 31 inches and weighed over 14 pounds. A top 10 Fish in Ontario in 2007, and the largest known Walleye from Lake Manitou"

One, two, three more.....!!

Yep no expert here but I think GCD is on to something with a nice photo to boot. On a 25 sec exposure the slightest movement could be captured. Maybe post on a photography forum. Beauty spot no doubt. I guess this means you need to go back there. Nemo

Haven't been able to do much fishing this year due to other priorities and a new job. Any ways got a few minutes on Saturday to head out on Kashagawigamog for a couple hours. I headed out to my spot and rigged up a worm harness with a nice dew worm. Dropped it down in 18 - 20 feet and began trolling it over some deep weed beds. The sun was high but there was a good chop and moderate wind that drifted me along. First off I connect with nice 15 incher which puts up a nice fight. I'm pumped as it looks like they are biting. Rebait and head back over the same drift. Halfway through I had a huge strike. Stopped the motor and started to fight it. Took a couple of minutes to get it off the bottom. From the weight I knew it was a good one. Made some nice runs. The neighbour kids trolled over to see what the commotion was. You should have seen their faces and mine when it came up. No camera with them either dang. It was pretty pooped when we got it up and made some small jumps. Boat side I was able to grab it (no net) and release the hook from the corner of it's mouth. Nicely hooked though. Measured it quickly on the tape I have in my boat and it was 31 inches. Got it back in the water and revived it for a couple minutes and it kicked off with a nice splash. Had the shaky leg and the sore arm so I was happy. Finished off with another 15 which I added to the other for some bacon wrapped pickeral on the BBQ. All in all a good trip. Thanks for reading.

It would have to be well "papered" by a lawyer. I would discuss with your lawyer. It also breaks my number one rule of mixing business with pleasure. These situations can be a real heartbreaker. I would post on the Cottage Life website. I bet there are tons of people there with insight. http://forums.cottagelife.com/

With all due respect I would try to find another spot. Let nature take it's course and respect their space. IMHO spreading/spraying a bunch of insecticide in your favourite fishing hole doesn't seem like a good idea. Ministry may not appreciate it either... but hey what do I know.. my 2cents

Nice report Glad to see the ypung one land his first eye.

Usually snorkel around campsites in Algonquin. Typical catch are bottles, cans and old lures etc. Have also found broken paddles, tent pegs, assorted clothing, some pots and pans. Tons of old stubby bottles. A couple of years ago I pulled up almost a case (24) stubbies. Hualed em out and returned them. Some of the bottles though can be quite old. Kind of depressing really.

Greg looks like Brysons in the group shot. Was out on the weekend as well too bad I didn't see where you were fishing...LOL. Did most come out of Kashag? Guess I will have to try again this weekend. Thanks for posting.

Not sure where you are staying but I have fished here several years ago. Nice gut give him a call. http://www.brookscottages.com/index.html Caught Pickeral and Lakers. Reef just up from these cottages marked with a bouy. Jigged it in the evening and got a nice pickerel.

See in the FAQ question section under Who owns the water? http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12716

Tell em to post some pics. Safe drive and hope the weather and fishing is good. Tight Lines Nemo

Semi Scientific Article from an Experiment in Salt Water.. http://www.worldwideanglermag.com/issue6/C...on/hookrust.php My 2 cents is that you can get it out get it out. If it is one of those questionable cases where removing the hook will kill it I would harvest it. Happy Reading

That's good doug. Thanks for sharing. How was your trip?

Use the 30/30 rule http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream/lightnin...ning_safety.htm The 30/30 rule Any lightning safety plan should incorporate the 30/30 Rule. The 30/30 Rule states that people should seek shelter if the "Flash-To-Bang" delay (length of time in seconds between a lightning flash and its subsequent thunder), is 30 seconds or less, and that they remain under cover until 30 minutes after the final clap of thunder. A 30 second lead time is necessary prior to a storm's arrival because of the possibility of distant strikes. A 30 minute wait after the last thunder is heard is necessary because the trailing storm clouds still carry a lingering charge. This charge can and does occasionally produce lightning on the back edge of a storm, several minutes after the rain has ended. Studies have shown most people struck by lightning are struck not at the height of a thunderstorm, but before and after the storm has peaked. This shows many people are unaware of how far lightning can strike from its parent thunderstorm. DO NOT wait for the rain to start before seeking shelter, and do not leave shelter just because the rain has ended.

It took my 4 STroke 115 Merc till 50 hours before we saw the consumption drop. It was noticeable.

Wow I knew I was in good hands here.

Spent a lot of time in Ireland and some in Scotland. Where are you starting i'e where is your daughter graduating from? Let me know and maybe I can fill in some of the spots. Great thing about Ireland is you can cover a lot of it in a short time. One question how will you be traveling from/to Scotland and Ireland?
