I've done that before, too, Shelley. Take a break from the heat and go for a swim. Gotta have that ladder off the transom tho'.

Howdo! Looking forward to reports with a photo or two. Lotsa folks to walk you through anything unfamiliar.

Very nice vid, Terry. Thanks for your post.

I'm sorry to hear of your sad news, John. Please accept my condolences.

Spinnerbaits trolled in the propwash fast.

That would be 23,000 cubic meters of dead fish, or a cube 28 meters (91 ft)on a side, give or take. That can't be true.

Even if the carp are large at 22 lbs each, that's about 2 million carp, or twenty for every man, woman and child in Peterborough and Kawartha lakes area. Don't think so.

Nice shootin, Emil. Might have to tag along if there's room one of these days.

A panther is like a leopard, except it hasn't been peppered.

Should you behold a panther crouch, prepare to say ouch.

Better yet, if called by a panther,

Don't anther.

Fishin on the Brain, drives ya nuts, don't it? I'm with you, I don't see the need.

I think you get what you pay for. $90 is a good price point for a spinning reel (Daiwa), and Quantum are fine fine rods. If you kick your combo price up to $200 or so, you won't be sorry. It's only a tank of gas or so above your first guess.

Silent Lake PP is a gem of a shield lake just north of Apsley. While the park supports camping, no sites are visible from the lake, and of course no motorized boats are permitted. I remember a beautiful afternoon there with the RLG before we were married - there is a nice shaded cliff overlooking the lake.

The website for this park advises small and largemouth bass and lake trout, but no pike.

That's funny right there, Connie. Happy Birthday and many more to you.

I'm thinking that this was another Boois trip, as they have an outpost on Joyce lake. Glad to hear that your trip went so well.

The answer to the question is obvious - it hums because it doesn't know the woids.

Glad to see that Aaron has followed my lead on trip reports *jk*. Astounding fishing, 45 minutes to boat a fish on spinning gear. What reel was that?

'We don't have a babysitter'. Any parent with kids older than a certain age has scoured the neighbourhood, local groups like churches or community centers, and found someone that they trust after a little while. Break em in slowly to see if they work out.

If you folks can make it to Kipling Station, I'll do the rest of the driving. Hope you and Bly can make this one.

Easy one. If you aren't allowed to keep it, it feeds the turtles.

Sweet, Gerritt. I hope all goes as well as possible for you this weekend. Good Luck!

That sounds like a great day on the water.

I just read the rules for that competition, and one caught my eye.

All fish caught may be subject to polygraph testing in order to maintain good conservation practices.

It's about time we put the onus back on the fish.

Just buy Wayne's boat. Once it's finished, of course. He can keep the snazzy jackets.

Sweet report, Mike, fine lookin' fambly you got there. Little kids are the best, mine are big and smelly now, with tons o' attitude. Enjoy them while you can.

A deadhead is a partially submerged log.

Great lakers, Pete. Thanks.

A fine fine choice, Chugger. You can expect 15-18 hours on two AA batteries. I used it Sunday to Friday, only replacing batteries on Friday. Amazing tool.
