Is there water in Guelph?

Yup, all bottled up in arberfolye, at 101 brock rd guelph.

Mike, pm me and I can send you to a nice hidding spot for fishing, and some nice scenery as well.

Guelph lake is ok, it was much better years ago, fishing wise for me.

Happy Bday Simon All the best to you

And what Albert said as well

I drove down to my usuall area for chromies, looked at the waves and said no way, its not looking good out there. So I hung a right and ventured on. I launched and headed to the stomping grounds that very few spoke about. My target was walters. I found them, seen them on the ff, had them follow as well For what? None of them to nibble at all I ran one line on a rigger and the other was lead core. The rigger line twitched a few times so I brought it up A little wee smallie on a lure its own size.

At least I didnt get skunked and I know now some tails are actual truths in a manner of speaking.

The waves told me another story, so it was time to get out.

The bass and pike I did expect, but as for the kitty That surprised me for that size

The bass i catch are in the hot times of the season and they are big. Im surprised that no crappie were caught.In good faith here is something Ive been dealing with for a while, frustrating but fun as well.

Cant find the pic but im sure this will intice you, pic is a little crappy though.

Sooooo????? how did you do today, just curious cause I love fishing that pond and havent been this year.

My last outing was comprised of this out there.

largies, smallies and walters to say the least.

Heres one that I posted a little while back, not to far from lake O(in a trib). I have lost another ski in open lake O not too far from shore, not too long ago, that was a fluke incident.

The crank bait is 4 1/4 inchs long, the ski was just under the surface. No need to do the math, because it was huge

good luck out there, the bass were big last year, no pike for myself. But had a few eyes follow as well. Good luck, want to see a report, thats all.

The smiles on the young ones faces is all that needed for a great day out. Yes the bonus was it was calm as can be on the water

The three we brought home, many knock offs and a breakoffs as well today. Im happy to say the least.

onto the pics

What a great day out on the water today, calm winds no waves made an enjoyable ride out for me and my darlings today. Starting off for the long weekend on the water I couldnt ask for anything more. esp meeting up with a friend and his boy out there

We started out at 90fow 2 lead cores and 2 on on the riggers, right away the rods are dancing Then when reeling in nothing was to show for blasted fish At this point it happened 4 times and I promised my gals fish, yes fish for them to land

Rod went up and guess what, I turned to my youngest and said reel it in

Again another rod goes off, if passed it off to my oldest , she faught and faught only to lose it to the side of the boat, oh well. things happen.

We eventually managed to hook 2 more that were landed afterwards. Nothing spectacular but they all faught with a fury My Girls included

What a great start to the weekend, everyone catching fish etc, and esp seeing spincast and gman out there on the water

Nice first bow

How come the three most active threads since 2:57 this afternoon are about dead fish?

 

1- Dumping fish remains into the lake.

2- Bowmanville Creek salmon run and

3- Bronte.

And let the fist fights begin at the one you didnt mention Roy

Just for the heck of it, I may go down to flyfish for the last time with a rod im giving to a young lad soon. That sure will baffle a few Using marshmellows and ear plugs on the hook

It's Spongebob

 

Your spoon is safe with me, maybe

Ok spongebob, the recipe better be safe in your hands. If not I may have to slap you one across the face with it. lol with the real one

Oh Oh! Seems somebody might be getting a little obsessed now? Dan, let me know if you want to borrow any equipment, rods, reels, dipseys, secret vinnimon spoons etc.

I'm right off the highway on your way to the launch. I'll be stripping the boat on Monday and transferring to Seguin next week for some homeless pike.

 

BTW, Mom said thanks (actually 'Praise The Lord - Food!!!'). She's selling the fish so she can put a door on her shed for the winter. Thx for making that happen Dan.

 

Cheers, it was a blast!!

Simon

What no nemo rods in hand, what the heck Dan

That sounds like an awsome day with dan in the boat

Simon you keep those spoons vewy, vewy quite, Or Its gonna be wabbit season vewy soon Maybe not jk

Just watch the weather and the spoons flying toward you and you will be fine.

To add to dans point, watch for darting lines heading towards your boat. And listen to all the screaming from shore. Thats why I like spoonchucking when every one is at work When the regular gents and relaxed folks are there.

Hey vin fyi pat no longer working in parts dept. Thx for the info

Pat There are two Dans that work the counter. One is yourger the other is older. I like the younger one, hes more energetic to please the customers at the counter or over the phone. All I do is say its Vince over thew phone and wham, they are on top of it

Out of curiosity, what # line are you guys using as your main line? I like the 8# line. Last year I switched to the raven line, havent had too many issues but I feel its a little limpy for my likings. Mind you I havent soaked it in warm water and it hasnt broken on me on a hook set.

Across the street theres an inn with a restaurant, from what I remember. If its the same owners that I spoke to way back when. Its worth a shot to ask them. They were very polite and helpfull to me. I recall a floating dock as well.

I never did fish that lake, but I did go to another just north of it The Bass fishing was fantastic. Pm me for info if you like

Ok so I call merc dealer (thx vin) and they tell me plugs on above chart are suggested alternatives..now the stock plug for that engine is an NGK BUZHW... I am still on fence with this as all my research does not show this plug...here is a pic I found on net but I cannot confirm accracy as the ngk site makes no reference to this plug.. To weird ehh!

Try calling barton auto supply in hamilton with the merc #. You may be surprised. I was on many occassions for merc parts(cross referenced etc)Merc # to bosch and so on. They even found the listing and a supplier for my cannon downrigger motor.

Please tell me it's not beginning... NOT YET FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

(btw, I've got bulk marshmellows and earplugs for sale if anyone is interested)

Your too far for me to purchase the items, but im sure every pioneer along the lakeshore will be stocked up. Ear plugs I get for free anyway.

But like you said, for the love of god NOT YET!!!!!

Need to net a king in the boat. Not the shore

I received the same letter as well.

What burns me is when it was registered at service canada, they took copies of the invoice. So why the letter now? Taxes have been payed on the trailer at the mto office.

The boat was free( ididnt want it to begin with). I had the boat with me for their viewing pleasure anyway, my last statement to them was, Do you want it? If so take it, its for free I was serious.

She chuckled for a bit. Then back to business.

So, the way I see it is, the government accepted the fact in hand and didnt ask for a dime. Acceptance, acknowledgement on their part, have a nice day ottawa.

Guess what, 0 times 7 or 8% equals 0.

Enough is enough, they keep digging deeper and deeper into our pockets for what?

On top of that, I received a letter asking to confirm that I have insurance on a newly purchased vehicle and as well as one that I sold recentlyOK, ask my insurance agent for it, Im on billable hrs right now

Emotionicons only have 4 fingers for a reason.

Oh yes engine was bought used so I jhave no paper work for it and this is first time I took out plugs

The make, model and serial # is all thats needed. There is a forum online that can help you out on the engine etc.Pm me for the info, they have been a great help as well as OFC.
