Blyght and I cleaned up this year! My brother in law is here from the States and he bought us some gear. This first pic is a new muskie rod!!! Check it out.... I told him he had to leave after that gift....LOL. Then he showed us what he really got for us. Take a look at the left side of the pic...that's our current rod and reel combos. The new ones on the right are pretty cool looking Okuma Diezel 9 foot combos....for the bigger fishies!!! I told him he could stay as long as he liked....LOL. Finally...here's some of the new gear.....we also got a 15 mile range FRS set, hip waders with insulated boots and a gift certificate for line for the new reels. Finally...we got these cool hats....hehe. Now we feel like real OFNers!!! Tomorrow, my parents are coming over....with gift certificates for Bass Pro Shops!!!! Cant wait to spend it all....hehe. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas...I think we're gonna try to go fishing tonight...I know its going to rain, but hey...if the fish dont care, then we dont either...

lol....my 4 year old daughter saw me playing...she said "awwww...poor kitty"....guess I have to be more careful...hehe

The regs didn't say anything for most species in Division 8....so my brother in law and I wet the lines for an hour today...not cause we expected to catch anything...but because we could. I cant think of a recent year when it was warm enough to do this on Christmas Eve..... Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Thank you all...they grow up so fast...she's at the BEST age as far as Christmas is concerned. I'm most excited to see her reaction tomorrow. She was literally squealing as we left her room for the night. I think I'm almost as excited as she is.....

Love that picture Lew!! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well. Our little one is dreaming of Santa as I type this. All the best for a great 2007! ccmtcanada and blyght

Should be an interesting weather day for sure!!! It still may be mostly rain here, but not too far to the north, they are expecting snow!! My little one wanted to make a snowman...and cant wait til it snows....Looks like I may have a one day window to help her with one!!! Merry Christmas Shawn!!! and everyone else too!!!

I'd like to extend our best wishes to all this Christmas...and for a happy and healthy new year. My 4 year old daughter iced some cookies for Santa...then wrote him a letter...then spread reindeer food all over the front walk. Here are some pictures....the smiles and concentration on her face says it all. She actually wanted to go to bed early so that Santa would come sooner. Oh to be a kid again...the excitement....the anticipation.....

Great report!!! I assume we'll see one from you tomorrow too??? hehe. Merry Christmas!!!

Awesome!!! That was a great experience!!! Thanks for sharing...what...no pics???? haha

Just look at it this way...the eye's you didn't catch this year will be even bigger next year when you clean up!!!!

Wow...sorry to hear about your loss Chris. I think everyone here has had this terrible disease strike close to home. I lost my father to it back in 1994...he fought it for 3 years....he was 55 years old. My grandmother, my uncle...also died at an early age. They are making progess...and stories like Photoz' gives hope to those stricken by this disease. I donate every year to the Canadian Cancer Society in hopes that our future generations can live longer and healthier lives. Cliff

BOQ= Bay of Quinte. This map will help you out. I'd be surprised if anyone made fun of you for that question.....it's a legit question...it took me forever to figure out that GB was Georgian Bay.....

Great to see her at home and recovering!!! I've known a few 3 legged dogs over the years...and you'd never know it...the way they'd play and run. Thanks for the update...I had been wondering about her. Merry Christmas! blyght and ccmtcanada

Great pics...looks like a great year on the water! Thanks for takin the time to share!

You are NOT alone now....haha. Every year, I actually will BUY and WRAP a few presents for myself from either my wife or kids. I always have to look surprised.

Wow!! Great haul...especially for this late in December. Great work!!! Us shore fishermen have to stick together...it's great to see success like this. Thanks for takin the time to post...nice pics!

Thanks Dave....you have no idea who I am probably, but Merry Christmas to you too!!! haha.

That's the great thing about my wife...she wants to head out to fish as much...if not more than I do....I'm a lucky guy!!! Christmas Eve is looking like a good day though...Christmas day and Boxing Day it looks likes colder weather...with snow....

LOL lungelarry...that was hilarious....I was actually imagining a magnet hitting a fish on the noggin.....haha

Blyght and I were thinking about it...and if the weather is right and the kids are entertained...who knows?? haha.

Gotta love clear regulations.....LOL

This was an amazing slide show!!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing....I was definately daydreaming while watching it....cant wait til spring!!!

The fishing regs specifically say "ice fishing" for Scugog...no other lake does it specify that....so I'm not too sure. It says.... | Fishing is prohibited in all waters of Div. 6, including Kawartha Lakes and Dalrymple Lake in the City of Kawartha Lakes (formerly known as Victoria County) and Simcoe County, from Nov. 16 to the Friday before the last Saturday in April in any year. This restriction does not apply to Lake Scugog ice fishing in Jan. and Feb Maybe someone from that area can clear this up!

Welcome to the board!!! Great first report...can wait to see those 10 pounders!

I dont have a boat...but if I did, I'd probably be thinking of taking it out of "winter" storage. In the mean time, I'm having fun still heading out to do some shore fishing. The first week of January is shaping up to be a good week. I'll keep crossing my fingers!
