I was just going to say that...I notice that while others do the work, he just sits around and takes pictures...hmmm.... LOL. Nice little place you got there TJ...where's my map??

LOL...loved the report Sean. Although I believe that 12 pounder was closer to 13 by the sounds of it. Great pics...glad you found someone to fish with who actually puts you on fish...haha.

LOL...loved the hat. I believe that Glen asked if YOU caught any fish....seems to me that Leah and your F in law have caught fish....LOL. Good to see you back Wayne!

That's a rather personal question. Great job on the project!! Looks great!

I always look forward to your posts, because I know I'll be treated to some amazing pictures! Thanks for posting them!

Mike...awesome camping report! It was a little more involved than my "camping" experience this past weekend...LOL. Those shots of the sparklers turned out amazing, as did the frog pics. It's nice to see the whole family in the pictures as well. Glad to hear you had a great time and are at home safe!

20 Walleye? What an incredible day! Too bad about the Salmon, but hey...there's always next time right? Great job out there...great pics and report.

Wow! Great report and some really NICE bass you got there! Congrats on a great day out there.

Oh great...that little hole the hook left is gonna cost us billions.

Wow...great report...sure was an interesting vacation thats for sure! Great job by the MNR on the endangered species...nice cars and fish!

Well, we've been back from our annual camping trip for a week now. We didn't get out as often as we usually do...the fishing from shore has been tough...with water temps rising from the mid 50s all the way up to the 80s. A lot of the nice fish have moved out into the cooler waters of Lake Ontario. Anyhow, last Sunday (July 15th), we headed to a local spot, Bly began throwing her lucky Red Devil Spoon...and she managed the only fish of the night for us. The funny thing is, I throw the same lures she does in the same areas, and I've NEVER caught anything on that lure lately. She has the magic touch with it! This one came in at 20.5". During the week, we got out 2 times, but didn't manage any fish. Even after dark, we brought the carp rods out, and even though we knew they were there, we had NO takers!! Oh well...these things happen from time to time. Contrary to what some believe on here, we DO get skunked!!! I've been posting about some tadpoles that we brought home from a local conservation area. The last post showed that they had grown some legs...but they all had their tails still. A few days after that post, we found the first frog perched up on a rock!! Over the next few days, more and more lost their tails. They were released on Monday. Here are some pics... True to her word, our little 5 year old daughter said we should start letting them go, so back to the conservation area they went! Here are some pics showing the release... She was a little sad to see them go, but she was a trooper through it all. We have only a few more left before they all head back home. One reason we didn't go out fishing as much this week is that I promised my little one that we'd have a campout in our backyard. She was VERY excited and counted the days down until Friday night. We set the tent up, put the DVD Player and snacks inside the tent and began our advernture. We had lots of fun watching movies, munching on chips and candy and reading stories. She fell asleep, completely exhausted by 1030 pm...and slept right through until 8 on Saturday morning. Saturday night came and Bly and I wanted to head out fishing again, but our usual shore spots are getting VERY crowded...and as I said before, the water temps were rising and the fishing was tough. We decided to hit our local trib to see what we could catch. We used small spoons and spinners from about 830pm until just after dark. I caught a few small bass about this size on a spinner... Then...we had our first ever double header!!! LOL. All these times fishing and we realized that this was our very first...not big fish by any stretch of the imagination, but they were fish. Here they are...the World's Greatest Sport Fish....complete with the lures we used....haha. Bly continued using a spoon, and then she said she had another fish on...only it was a little bigger. We had no idea what we'd pull out of this trib, but hey...we cant be choosy...LOL. She pulled in this rather FAT 11.5" Rock Bass...a nice sized one that's for sure! This evening (Sunday), our little one wanted to go fishing again, so we packed car up and headed down to the lake shore. Bly was helping out the little one and I bottom fished for something....anything....all I caught all week was a few small bass and rock bass. Sure enough, as it always happens, my little one outfished me. Here she is with a few perch she ended up catching. Anyhow, that was our week...a very busy one, but a good one. Hopefully we'll get some cooler waters close to shore again soon...but the forecast is showing days over 30C with the humidity pretty much every day for the next few weeks. Fishing may be tough, but we'll head out a few times this week to see what's biting.

Great report pikeie!! Hope you had a great birthday...you are now of fishing license age...LOL.

Welcome to the board! Looking forward to your reports!

Have a great day pikeie!!

Excellent report and congrats on the OFAH qualifying fish!

It really bugs me when trib fishing that someone comes by, stands 3 feet away and then proceed to drift right in the pool I'm fishing! The tribs I fish are barely 10 feet across, so it's not like it's a huge pool or anything. I'll usually semi intentionally cross their line...or spook the fish and then leave. Bly has actually stomped across a pool in her waders when ppl do that to her....LOL. Hmm...what else...I dont mind a little conversation, but when I stop talking or just keep saying "uh huh" and not even look at you, it's time to shut up....haha.

Great pics Rich...also great to see you got out there with your dad!

Welcome to the best fishing board on the net Pat! Nice intro...looking foward to your first report...remember...we all like pics here

oops.

Wow Doug! What a report! Looked like the fishing was great, and apart from the check out fiasco, things sounded first class all the way. Thanks for taking the time to post it!

Fantastic wrap up Will! Looks like you all had a great time out there. Too bad about the MNR thing, but these things happen I suppose. I never get tired of seeing pics of pike taking hooked fish...must be very exciting to see!! Did you net both fish? LOL. Thanks for the report...must have taken lots of effort to do all that work!!

I think you've all overbid.... 1 pound!

Wow...that would really suck!!! Great vid Joey...thanks for posting the link!
