Nice report and Pics man. I'm Jealous!

Thanks for posting these pics Wayne. I've been waiting to see an arial view of the park.

I was at Smith's Trailer Park until 2:30 last night with my volunteer search and rescue team. One section of the park is destroyed, and the next section looks like nothing happened.

Even in the destroyed section, there would 3 or 4 areas where there's nothing left but cinder block foundation, and right beside it, 50' away, a trailer seemingly un-touched, flower pots still on the deck..

The section of the part that was hit hard just happens to be a spot that's mostly empty thru the week. But very busy on the weekend. If this would have hit on a Sat afternoon, it would have been a true disaster.

We search thru the ruble for 5 hours and didn't find anyone, thank good.

Midland dodged a bullet..

How much do you want for it?

It needs a $200 pinion gear. And I had one on an old evenrude that I sold for $150 two months ago!!

After it's running, it'l be worth atleast $900 eh? Someone was trying to sell the exact same motor on Kijiji for $1250 last month, that seems a little high.

Sorry, I'm just being an ass.

Wups, Didn't see the flaming earthquake posts before i sent this..

Right on man. Suprises like that are fun eh!

Now.. How long before a Musky man reams you out for not cutting your line right away?

It's actually a 35Hp with a 25 cover..

Dave could have just tossed this Motor/Tank on his curb and let the first Joe Blow driving by take it. But instead he posted it on the OFC as FREE. Man I love this Forum. Not only do I learn something new every day, but I also have a chance to get free stuff

Thank you so much Dave

Check out the pic. Sweat eh!!

Definitly worth the 3 hour round trip to the city.

Thanks for the info man.

As for Bills reply.. What up your man. There's no need for that kind of talk.

Early, beat the boat launch cluster fuddle.

Never in Barrie!!

I live 5 minutes from the boat launch and i pass by two tims on the way.. Never stop in though.. I'm a thermos man myself.

Thanks for all the great replies. I was looking at the Seagull guitars how much are they usually?

They can get a little pricy... If you find one for $400, it would be a steal. That last time I checked anyways..

It's sad to hear this kind of thing. Every year, someone / group heads out onto G-Bay in an undersized boat, in bad weather. The weather was crap last night, and a 12" boat, what the heck where they thinking!! The wind was roaring in Barrie, I could imagine the waves on G-bay.

Another thing, if cottagers saw the boat capsize, why didn't they get in their own boats, and go out to help them??

No complaints with my Norman. Picked it up for $325, cut away with a pick up. It was a scratch and dent deal, but I still haven't been able to find the scratches??

If I where to buy another guitar, I'd be looking at Seagull, I've always liked them, just couldn't afford one.

And I have to agree with all the Yamaha posts. They're work horses. I don't own one, but know lots of people that do, and love them.

I've fished there a half dozen times and never caught one. You still here of the odd dink walleye being caught there. But I think it's pretty rare.

Must be that time of year for crazy mother grouse protecting their young.

I was in Awenda Park last week helping train new SAR recruits. I was sent into the bush at dawn on a set compass bearing for 5 tallies. When I put my foot down for my last pace of the 5 tally walk, wammo, I flushed two grouse, and saw about 8-10 little grouse running away. Surprised I didn’t step on one of them.

That dam bird wouldn’t leave for a good 15 minutes. It made all sorts of weird noises.

I tried to get the birds out of that area, cuz for the next 3 hours, there was going to be new recruits, out on their first night walk, stamping through the area.

The birds eventually moved off.

DANG. I just changed my name! Add one more thing to my long list of new documents required..

Friday I'm putting the bottom end back on my outboard.

Busy all day Saturday at "Celebrate Barrie".

Sunday, if it's hot and sunny - Carp Shooting in Cook's Bay. If it's cloudy.. Six Mile lake for pike..

Either way, I'm going to test out my motor!

Right on man. Cool pics!

My family was in the small bunch of people as well.

My grandparents where both young kids when their parents bought crown land on the lake. Something like 8 cents a square foot, or something ridiculous like that. My grandpa’s uncle was a surveyor, who was offered Battleship Island, as payment for some work he did. All in all, between my grandparents families, they had something like 15 cottages on the lake, back when there only were about 75 on the entire lake.

They also used to own a few other islands around the lake, a few lots off what is now Steep Rock Rd, and property on either side of the mouth of lost channel (which they dubbed “Woodside Cove”, as they painted it on the rocks in front of the cottage)

Have you read the book Echoes of Six Mile yet? It’s a great book detailing the old days on the lakes. It talks about some of the pioneers of the lake, and all of the family history of the early cottagers up there.

I've never caught a muskie on Six Mile. Been fishing there my entire life.

Maybe the odd one cruising around in there. But I definitely wouldn't go there just looking for Muskies.

Bigugli is right, no fish in lost channel.. Just Poison Ivy, and Rattle Snakes..

Hey Bigugli, you've been around 6 mile for ever, I thought 6 Mile Marina used to be called Volicks back in the day. That's what my Grandpa always calls it anyways?

So that marina is Wawuatosa???

Yep, that’s the one.

Not to sure if they rent boats at the Wawuatosa.

I know they do (or used to) at Six Mile.

If you’re trying to get to Lost Channel, Six mile might be a better idea. It’s a little closer, but not by much.

Both routes have narrows, and shoals to watch out for. They’re well marked on Six Mile though..

Watch out for the poison Ive in Lost Channel!! Gets me every year

 

If you cross check the address in the link for Hidden glen I posted before and google maps then it works out correctly. "On private road exiting off Hwy 400 S, 2 km S of exit 168. 100 seasonal sites, 18 tent sites. Protected harbour on Georgian Bay. Great fishing, marina service, overnight docking. May - Oct, Hosts: Bob & Katie"

 

 

 

It's not on six mile lake Do some more research man..

To get to Hidden Glen Marina, you have to take exit 168, the head back down south on hwy 400 to a private road, only accessable by 400 south. The road is called Hidden Glen road. Look it up.

There are only two marina's on Six mile lake, end of story..

That's funny stuf man..

Looks like it was a fun time. Nice Hogs too!

Who knows eh. They didn't stick around to see if it was a bluf charge..

The other marina is called Hidden Glen Trailer Park & Marina http://www.campgrounds.org/?pageid=133&campground=158

That's not on Six Mile. According to your link, it's in Port Severn, just off Georgian Bay.

There's only two marina's on Six Mile, like Big Ugli said. Six Mile lake Marina (used to be Volicks), and Wawuatosa.
