Awesome! Simply awesome! I'm not sure I could fish with the pressure of camera crews around....LOL. I know I'd do something stupid....like hook myself, or go swimming....LOL.

Wow!! Lots and lots of teeth there for sure! Looked like an awesome day out there...it's always more fun when there's catching involved...LOL. Thanks for all the pics!

Awesome...simply awesome!!! I've yet to feel the fight of one of those beauties on the end of my line. With a bit of luck, I'll hook into a few this year.

WOW!!! What an awesome looking fish...I can only imagine the fight that thing put up for you. Amazing catch...amazing!

I've always wanted to try fly fishing...not sure if I have the skill/patience though....LOL.

Great report!!! Looked like a great day out there.

Welcome to the best board on the web you two! Looking forward to your reports!

Wow...great report....video, pics and fish!! Couldn't ask for a better combination!! Thanks for taking the time to post...uploading vids to youtube and all those pics takes time...

We woke up on Monday to be greeted with an amazingly mild and calm morning!! When the kids were up we asked what they wanted to do today....and surprisingly, our 15 year old daughter wanted to go fishing!! Soon after that, our 5 year old was excited to go to. We didn't want to venture too far, because we were not interested in hitting the cottage traffic at the end of the day, so my oldest suggested a local conservation area. We all agreed and with that, we packed some snacks and drinks and left in the car. After paying $1.10 per litre of gas to fill up and another $5 for worms...we headed off...and 15 minutes later we were walking to the pond. We divided up into teams to see who could catch the most fish, so it was bly and our oldest, and me and our youngest. Should have known right away that whoever had me would be handicapped....LOL. We immediately began to pull out sunfish after sunfish...throw in a few bullhead that rounded out our day. The final score.... Bly and our oldest - 51 fish - All sunfish Me and our youngest - 36 fish - 33 Sunfish and 3 bullhead Here are some pics from our non-stop day....first pic is her first fish of the year! Bly and our youngest went for a walk around the pond and they found literally thousands of little tadpoles. We had read that raising them at home is probably better than letting them stay in their natural habitat if cared for properly, so we let her take about a dozen home with us. We have all we need to feed and properly aerate the water, so we're hoping that they make it. My little one said..."when their tails fall off and the legs come out, we'll bring them back here to say goodbye". Very cute to hear that. Here's a pic in their new temporary home... All in all, we had a GREAT time out there. There was no whining, no bickering...just a lot of fishing, smiles, laughs and well, sunburns on bly and our oldest....serves them right for winning....LOL I put sunscreen on our little one before we left the house...hehe.

WTG!! Great report...the fish seemed to cooperate for you too! Pike are a fun species to target...I'm going to def. spend more time on them this year. The scenery shot was pretty awesome too...makes me wish I lived someplace like that....hmmm....seems retirement is TOO far away....LOL

Wow...great report and it only makes me more eager to get up there for the Lakair G2G in a month!!

Dan...great report!!! The pics were great as usual too. That was venus...was down at the lake and a star gazing club was down there with their telescopes...they told me that was venus...and they were offerring free peaks thru their equipment. It was pretty cool. Wow...those pics and temps remind me of my trib adventures in January!! Crazy cold out there...but you guys fished anyways and were successful...now thats perseverence for you!!! Thanks for the report....made me glad I dont live up there....LOL

Glen...you are right...I do take the time to read practically every thread that's on here when I get the chance. Even if it's something I know nothing about...like boat motors, fancy GPS and fish finders etc... I cant offer anything insightful in those posts. I try to comment on as many report threads as possible...I know the effort it takes too. Great thread Glen...and to all posters...THANKS!

Bly and I were thinking of fishing the shores of Lake O, but the wind made casting almost impossible and was quite chilly, so we decided to hit the trib...not expecting anything, but we did have some roe in the fridge that needed using before the tribs were done for the summer. Roe hasn't been working for us since the tribs cleared up about a month ago, but we tried it anyways. We caught lots of little browns and rock bass. One drift, my float went down, so I set the hook expecting a little brown, and I saw a flash of silver. I actually hooked a large steelhead on roe!! The problem is that after a 5 minute fight I lost it....ARGHHH!!! That one took me completely by surprise!! Those little browns were pretty fiesty....jumping out of the water multiple times...they'll be great once they get bigger! Anyways, here's a little picture summary of our few hours....fish were caught on roe, live wax worms and assorted small jigs and flys. Waters were clear and low...deep pools had a nice green tint to them.

Hey there!! I'm just in Whitby...if you want to learn, let me know...we can get together and I'll show you. Once you get it down, you can do it with your eyes closed. I'll sit and watch TV and do them now.

It's great to sit back and watch a child fish. Seeing their faces when they catch something is priceless. I dont get to fish much when I have my 5 yr old out, but my fishing is secondary when she's laughing and catching panfish after panfish. Thanks for sharing! Great pics! I'll be taking my daughter out this morning....and I'm sure she'll outfish me again....haha.

Wow...thanks for your hard working keeping on Rogers! They admitted to the problem and are working to do something about it. That's awesome!!! Hopefully things will get better soon. My thanks go out to you and Rick...for letting me know that I wasn't crazy...both of you have done lots of work to help out us poor rogers people... Later!

LOL Snog...glad you let us "outfish" you and that you kept your monster fish to yourself!! Again...we had an awesome time out there...we'll have to get together again. As for our Walleye records...I'm sure if you spent the time on them as you do the pike, you'll be hauling in some huge ones. Thanks again for being our guide for the day...I figure the cost of 2 slices of pizza was a bargain for us...we had a lot of laughs, talking and fishing...the day was nice and sunny...couldn't really ask for much more.

Spiel...cant wait to meet you and all the other OFNers this year up at Lakair...it's going to be the highlight of our year. Hopefully we'll catch some fish too...but to me the catching part is secondary...looking forward to the people and the experience.

Wow!! Those are some huge Channel Cats!!! Congrats on the PB ....awesome report and great pics! Just took another look....yep...those are channel cats..... GO TEAM 6!!!!!

Great job out there!! Bly and I tried a bit of night time fishing...had a few hits...saw a flash of chrome and that was about it. Bly pulled in a nice 11 inch rock bass...hit a fly....LOL. We're hoping to catch one or two more...maybe today...gotta use up about 10 roe bags...dont want them to go to waste. Thanks for the pics bro....hope the moving and job still allows an hour or two for fishing!

Nice job out there!! Great report...very well written...almost felt like I was there! Thanks for the pics...looked like a great time out on the water.

Thanks everyone....it's easy to forget that there are lots of fish in such a great urban environment. Like I said before...I've lived here my whole life and never went to the Islands....I'll be back again for sure...next time with the kids in tow!

I've rented a boat a few times out of Port Perry and never caught a fish from it....LOL. The only thing we seem to catch are panfish...and my 5 yr old rules our family in that regard... Hope you have better luck next time!

Wow...that is kind of funny! The bullhead in our area have hit worms...even large spoons...but not minnows. There's nothing like fishing for salmon, walleye or pike with spoons...to have a bullhead hit it on a fast/medium retrieve...LOL
