Thanks HH....just rechecked sailflow.com and they are now saying 10 knot winds on Saturday and Sunday(down from 15) and the same for Windguru. They both say Saturday night winds going up to 16 knots, then die off to 10 by morning again. Environment Canada's website and The Weathernetwork do not show any snow/ice in their forecasts though.... The weather will be what it will be....watch...it'll be calm winds, 20C....LOL.

Did he find him where I said in the PM??? Did he just start banging on doors?? LOL Not bad....original post went up at 11:14 and by 11:40 it's all done....gotta love the internet....hehe.

Here's a report from a Bungalow up on Nipissing..... http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...153&hl=joon

Check this link....took me a while to find it..... Service Manual http://www.marineengine.com/parts/part_det...mp;Model=FDL-16 Owner's Manual http://www.marineengine.com/parts/part_det...amp;Model=FD-16 Good luck!

LOL Snag.... At least my dead pike was nicer looking than your dead one from last year! You're just jealous!!! Solopaddler and Snag - I'm always excited to catch a fish....I'm laughing and all giddy deep down inside....VERRRY DEEP. Oh and as for the pike I did catch...it was just a tiny fish....panfish-like. We'd probably catch more fish if you stopped telling me to come and look at what you've found...I tell ya...must have taken 2 hours away from fishing with you looking in every nook and cranny for interesting garbage. They do make interesting pictures though...have to admit that. Those other fish you hid from me are from last years reports.....I checked. We'll do it all over gain soon.

Nice find Mooseroo! It's a great article to read if you're just getting into trib fishing!

Wow...talk about fish porn!!! Great report and awesome pics of those eyes!

Hmmm....better watch your back at Quinte.....hehe.

I always check myself, unless I really know the person. Not that I think anyone here would do this, but even if the conditions were prime in some locations, some may tell you they suck. I know the drive can be a pain, but sometimes you gotta put the legwork in. That being said...the tribs I like to frequent in the east end all suck....LOL. (That's the truth)

Way to go Mo!!! Our first launch was filled with anxious anticipation. The only thing I did wrong was forget the plug....LOL. I now have a checklist for our trips...goes like this.... Before leaving the driveway 1) Check trailer ball to make sure it's in properly and put the padlock on it. 2) Check that the hitch lock is activated 3) Check the safety chains. 4) Check the main strap attached to the boat and safety back up ones. 5) Make sure the lights are plugged in....do a lights check (left and right signal, brakes) 6) Check the transom straps 7) PUT THE PLUG IN (LOL) Before backing up at the launch 1) Take off all straps etc, except for the main one. 2) Unplug the lighting. 3) RECHECK THE PLUG (LOL) Then I do the same list as the driveway one before leaving the ramp. (except that I take the plug out) I'm sure it'll become second nature, but I make sure I do all these things for now. The backing up thing is getting better for me...I even took it to a vacant parking lot to practice moving around. Congrats on the maiden voyage!! The first of many!

You dont mean me do you? Who else is in the boat with us???

Good thing I'm leavin the 14ft tinny at home....LOL

Wow...amazing how different the forecasts can be....here's The Weather Networks.... http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/caon0540/ Environment Canada http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/on-3_metric_e.html Sailflow.com is saying about 15 knots from Thursday til Saturday. (Sandbanks) Windguru is alsto saying 15 knots (Sandbanks)

Really? Wow...I put the cream in first cause I'm too lazy to stir it with a spoon....LOL

Hey Kevin! We inquired about this last year with Advanced Taxidermy (Caledon). For a replica they need: Length Girth Weight Photos are primarily for colouration of the fish. Just a few pics of the entire fish is all they need. If there are distinguising marks on the fish...like scars etc, they suggest a pic of that area. As far as cost is concerned, 300 to 500 may be a bit conservative. Bly caught a 32", 15 pound Walleye last year and estimates we got were somewhere between 600 and 900 bucks depending on what it's mounted on. Most places we talked to quoted by the inch....and a trophy walleye will be 30+ inches. Talk to DTSam when you're in Quinte....his place is doing Taxidermy now....they are located in Belleville.

I've seen his workshop and tried out his baits. We were catching largie after largie on his senkos!!! I wouldn't have though plastics would work on the tribs, but after seeing these, if anyone can make one that'll work it's Basskicker!

Wow Meely....that was impressive!

Ummm...no I wasn't, but after going back and counting the trips, I guess we did get out quite a bit. If we had our own boat all season long, we'd have been out there even more....LOL.

The Kawarthas (Division 6) is closing in a few short days. I was just wondering how everyone's year was on those lakes? Did the carp die off that started in Scugog and spread to other lakes affect your decision to fish the Kawarthas? Did the lower than normal water levels affect fishing or where to launch/fish from shore? This was my first full year fishing, and although I didn't get out a whole lot, I did manage to fish a few lakes. Fishnsled was kind enough to take Bly and I to Stoney, Pigeon and Cameron hunting muskie and bass. Basskicker took me to Rice to chase down some bass. Bly and I fished Chemong Lake with a good friend of ours and my cousin met up with us late in the season to fish Rice again. We also took the canoe to Scugog, rented a boat there and then fished in our own boat there a few times in the past few weeks. Also had a few shore fishing trips there as well. Oh yeah...I also attended a mini carp G2G up in Peterborough and met up with MJL, Wolfville and Victor. I did manage my personal best Muskie on Scugog, and we did get into some bass and walleye during our outings as well, but nothing that I could call BIG numbers overall. My answer, only because it was my first year and have nothing else to compare it to is it was an average year for numbers. The Carp die off did curtail many trips to Scugog where we like to shore fish with my daughter, so I have to say it did affect our fishing decisions this year. Anyhow, how did you do?

Yep...all to Tyler!

Hey Gerritt...I'm a Western Grad (1992) as well...although I was about as far away from athletics as one can get. I'm not sure if the Spoke is still there....but I was in a band that played there from time to time. Great memories of that place! Also used to frequent the Elbow Room in UCC....I heard that's gone now....

Sweet report! You had to work for it, but you were paid off handsomely!

LOL Brian.... I should correct that....we cant catch Walleye from a boat...but I'm sure you'll be sure to change that this weekend! Oh yeah...and Shawn....maybe we should somehow incorporate OFNCommunity.com on that paper....so that any fish caught would also qualify for the OFC Tourney as well.
