NAW

Looks like you had an alright time.. Thanks for sharing!

In your previous post about this, we gave you about a dozen lakes to try.. They're all great lakes, within your 3 hour driving range. Pick one, and giver.

Here's my girl Riley at a few months old. She was dark colored when she was young. More of a light shade now.

She's a Havanese.

The next one will be big ol huntin dawg!

Meps spinner baits. Change your speed up if your not getting bits. Look for weed beds, there's lots of them.

Thanks for the input guys.

Gibson Lake is on a reserve, and I'm not sure about the fishing laws there. We are going to be way down the river, closer to G-Bay. I will definitly look into the regs before I go out though.

Thanks for the location Cudz, I'll try there on our way in to the camp. I think we have to padle by there coming in and out. Nothing funner then catching a monster gator in a canoe loaded up with camping gear!

I'm going camping with a bunch of my wife's friends for the next long weekend. They go to the same place every year, and have been for the past 10 years or so. It's on the Gibson River (from what I can tell), about 3 rapids away from G-Bay. Seeing as I've never been there before, and i will be in a canoe, I don't think I can make it out on to G-Bay. I think I'll be stuck in the river for the weekend..

I was just wondering if anyone has fished this area before. I would love a pickerel, roasted over a camp fire

Any tips on the eyes in this area would be more then appreciated!

Any tips that would make me look like a pro walleye angler in front of my wives friends, Priceless!

Thanks,

Old jugs,,,,No, not my mrs,s.

Good thing I and she, have a sense of humor .

 

 

Good stuff man.. Gotta love the deep bush of Barrie. Never know what you might find.

The Fox news reporter sounds like the biggest redneck on the planet. Where the heck did they get this guy?

He sounds hammered!

Those are some crazy looking fish!

That's a beuty camp you got there Solo.

How many other camps on the lake? Sure does look peaceful up there!

i think little lake (barrie) has camping and boat rentals.. not 100% sure but i could swear i saw tents mixed in with the trailer park.

I think this would be a crappy spot to camp.. Pretty hard core trailer part there, if ya know what I mean. And the rental boats are junky, heavy pontoon boats..

I fished there last weekend. Lots of small pike and LMB

Six Mile Lake PP. You can rent a boat just down the road at Six Mile lake marina..

i go to a private cottage right next to sand beach lodge twice a year, end of august, and begining of october. During the summer months i have had excellent success slow rolling spinners through weeds in anywhere from 3ft (yes three feet!!!!) to 12 fow. Face the dock at sand beach then look to your left, there is a little bay with two cottages, troll around that bay early morning till noon, you should pick up a few eye's. There is lots of pike and smallies in there as well. If your not picking up any walleyes, go smaller spinners, and go even slower, just fast enough to spin the blade. Hope this helps!!

I'm good friends with the son of the owners back in the 80's. We stopped in there at the start of the season, and he met the new owner. Talking to the new owner, I guess he really wants to make the lodge more fishing oriented, as it was in the past. The few owners who had the lodge after the Oberholtzer's really didn't care much for fishing, and it kind of slid downhill..

It sure does look like a nice place to stay though. Great area, lots of water.

Sweat fish man. Congrets!

Nice outing man!

What did you catch them on? I've never had much luck for pike on cooks

If your taxes are going up in Barrie? I assure you, it has absolutely nothing to do with the Barrie police.lol Accidents do happen and although this particular case seems like it can be blamed on ONE officer's negligence? It does not reflect on the entire Barrie police force.

 

Why all the hate towards cops on the board lately? We've all met our fair share of bad cops, but I've personally met many good cops too. Like I said in last years post. Try walking a mile in their shoes and you will understand why some are the way that they are.

No hate towards cops here either.. Like I said, it's my goal to become one.

Just the situation. 3 boats in one year is a bit over the top.. Worth posting about..

I've duck hunted there between Bruce rd 13, and Isac Lake in the slew along the river. There's a parking lot there. Barbless Fisher,, is that where you where broken in to?? Good to know.. Little tirds from Wiarton i bet..

We launched a canoe from there and headed north to Isac.. Didn't go south to boat lake at all..but ya, the bridge does seem very low..

maybe they should take the boater exam again lol

Unfortunately, I don't think that would do them any good for the correct way to attach a boat to a trailer, then trailer it from point A to B without destroying the boat..

She must not have rolled all the way over, or those blue lights would be smashed. But the railing around the front is all messed up on the starboard side, and the console as a good lean goin on.. Notice the clump of sod on the motor!

What do you guys think. Write off?? Another $25000 down the drain?? I would think if the fiberglass hull, and rubber is still good, they should be able to repair it for less the $25000..

I guess it also depends on the motor, and if it hit anything during the crash..

I had to detour around this on Wednesday morning. The zodiac was upside down and I did not realize it was a police boat at the time (I don't rubber neck).

Upsidedown??

Doesn't sound like it just slid off the back of the trailer.. Maybe someone took a corner a little to fast.

I wonder if they were charged with failure to properly secure a load, under the highway act, like any of us would have been? "Teather strap broke and rear straps released"... that's why there's a mandatory saftety chain requirement!!.. and try "rear straps weren't attached"!

My thoughts EXACTLY..

I’m really not one to rant, especially about the Police. I have a ton of respect for police officers, and actually would like to be one some day.

HOWEVER..

Barrie Police just wrote off their THIRD boat in under 1 year!!!

http://www.thebarrieexaminer.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2668838

No wonder my tax keeps rising living in Barrie..

It has not been confirmed that the boat was written off, but I would imagine a rigid haul fiberglass boat can’t handle being dropped on an asphalt road.

I'm pretty sure that's Dave's face on Will Farrell's body, taken from "Semi-Pro"

For sure man.. Mercer has easily 50lbs on that torso..

Still funny though.

An easy way to make sure your links are working, before you post, is to click on the 'preview' button. If you don't see them, no one else will either.

Good to know man. Thanks eh!

And to think how many times I've trailered my boat right past there wondering if I should stop and fish for a while.

Now I know what I'm missing.

I hear ya. I almost always see a boat out there when I'm driving by. I always wondered what the heck they where fishing for..

I was going to suggest Massasauga as well. Or French river. 6 Mile Lake is alright for bass and pike, and only about 2 hours from TO.
