Slightly off topic.

My bear bait in Muskoka has at least 5 different bears at it thru the week on the trail cam.

Funny thing, I've been going to my cottage near there for 30 years, and have not once seen a bear. Grandparents have been there for 70 years, and have only had a handfull of bear encounters.

They are everywhere. We only see a very very small percentage of them.

Thanks for the detailed response Marc.

I know several of us where checking the posts a few times a day hoping you would find some time to make some comments.

Weird week for sure.

Makes the vacation that much nicer though!

Glad you got into some fish

Scary stuff for sure.

The Oakville case, not only did they owner loose their boat, but also caused significant damage to his neighbours boat.

I wonder what kind of polution was released in to the water.

Does anyone know what the firefighters use to put fires out on the water like that? It looked like foam..

I run the 570. No complaints.

Looking good! glad someone cold get some use out of it.

How long before all the paint burns off the outside?

And how did you cut the steel with out that thing blowing up? Maybe I'm a little un-educated, but a few weeks ago that was full of fuel.. Does diesel not light on fire with sparks?

It may be to far for you, but I've heard very positive feedback from a place called Rocky's in Orillia.

How do the snakehead taste. Are the comparable to other native fish for flavour?

The Fraser is very high on my bucket list.

That things a tank.

X3 for LSPP.

Never been, but have herd great things about Killbear.

Something a little more themes for this site.!

He comes by it honestly

I wonder how much internet space this thread takes up?

I've discovered lots of new Music on this thread. Hope it lasts for ever

Sorry that you had to go through that Mike.

My Grandpa is in a similar situation right now. Waiting for a big operation, but it's taking forever to get the final tests done before they can finalize the plan of attack for the operation (Aortic Aneurysm).

If I can only give you one peace of advice, is would be to spend as much time as you can with him, and like others said, just listen and chat. Even if it’s a weekly phone call, or quick visit. It can only help right.

Orr Lake

Going to bait this weekend. Looking forward to my first bear hunt this fall.

Was there last week and did not pay.

I herd they put a machine in, but where not planning on charging people till next year.

Not 100% sure.

It's just a matter of time before you have to pay.

And yes, you pay to park, not to launch.

How far north we talkin here?

Mouth watering.

I like your style. Nothing fancy, just some fish in a pan.

I have a nice 3 person tube that I was going to list on Kijiji.

PM me if your intersted. It's in decent shape.

Tubes are expensive, so if your only going to use it once in a blue moon, why spend a ton of money! I'll give you a smokin deal.

Thanks for starting this post.

They are all over my wife's rose bushes. They have nearly killed 4 of them.

Little buggers..

Went to Walmart a few weeks ago after I lost my other 2 pairs of fishing glasses (BPS brand and "Unknown" brand).

Ended up walking out with the Spiderwire brand ones. Camo arms. I think they're decent. $17 and change.

If I did ever end up spending some real money, it would be Maui Jims. But I don't ever see that happening. I loose things to much.

Lookin good to far Skip.

I might have to take the long way home one day, and check her out in person?

How much elbow grease will it take to earn a trip down riggin with ya once she's ready?

I was on the G-Pool last weekend as well for the first time.

Like others have mentioned earlier in this thread. Possibly one of the most pressured lakes I personally have ever fished my in my entire life. Every "fishy" spot that I pulled up to had at least 1, sometime 2 or 3 other boats fishing there. Keep in mind there was a Jr bass tournament last weekend, but there was only 10 boats entered. I must have seen easily 100 other fisherman on the lake that day.

Fishing was great for the first 2 hours of the day, then it died down when it got really hot out.

Oh man.. Those look Bad

Very nice!

Awesome Hall Jacques!!

My mouth is watering.

That is brutal.

What did you do with the fish.

Knowing they where only there for a short period of time, they likely would still be good to eat, no?
