+26 in Ottawa today, unbelievable weather.

Nice, at least something was hot in Ottawa this weekend

Couldn't resist

Great end to the Nip ice season. I know I'm looking forward to next January

, Drop Shotting at it's best

Tight Lines Richard

 

 

28" Rainbow & 2 Nice Browns

Really good day!! Drop shotting for trout, there's a technique I haven't tried.

I missed this one too, guys. Absolutely amazing. The slogging into that back lake was repaid in spades!!!!

The size and colouration of those eyes is breathtaking!!!!

What ever Frankie, we want to know what Juli wouldn't leave home without.

Holy cow, I knew that comment was going to come from somebody

If it's Juli's choice just make sure it has pink, purple or chartreuse in it.

This lure has caught almost every species of fish for me

Always have it in the box.

No worries Frankie, I understand just razzing you that's all Now get to work... like I said, you gots some catching up to do

Jacques you should have seen the way her rod was thumping on the fish she lost. Juli said it felt twice as big.

We've kept a lot of pike that weren't bleeding Frankie! I don't think anybody should have to explain why they kept an IN season, legally caught fish... No matter the size or specie.... if it's in season, it's fair game IMO. I mean I wouldn't keep 50 perch 5 days in a row... at some point common sense has to kick in but u know what I'm sayin....

 

 

You bet, buddy. We'll see you soon...either trout opener, or before, if we had down that way with the boat for some LPB perch.

hahahaha

 

 

Good job Guys! I'm not a pike eating guy but my whole family enjoys a good gator meal from time to time! Glad you got out and caught some fish... well Julie anyways!

 

Cheers,

Ryan

Ryan, we rarely keep pike as well, but, out of that cold water...if I had three plates-one with perch, one walleye, one pike...you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. Plus like Juli said, we had no choice, the back treble was right down in the gills, bleeding like a pig.

The fishing queen strikes again Great job Juli and congrats on that beauty gator

 

P.S. Frankie... you've got's some work to do to catch up just saying

What can I say Jacques...she has the majic touch this year. Nobody there hooked a fish except for her. I did have a follow.

Frankie gets out fished again! We need to start keeping score!

As for the score Bill, let's just say I'm doing about as well as the Leafs

Congrats Juli - and thanks for leaving that big one for me; cant wait to get back home.

Hey Frank - I should get you to review my tackle box when I get back... "You're gonna use that one?"

 

a short 15 hour:glare: plane ride home on Saturday - boat out of storage Sunday and in for spring service Monday

 

hopefully the weather obliges the following weekend

Can't wait Rick!!!!!!

Gotcha! That's cute and kind of Gollum-like at the same time.

Yeah, Mike, when she starts hunkering down and rubbing her hands together mumbling about her precious, I get a little worried

Used to know an older gentleman named Jim, fished mostly the Saugeen and at times Sauble. He had two trademarks, one a big stogie, the other a baitcaster set up for float fishing. Yes, he caught many fish.

If you want a decent mono, they have the 600yds spool of trilene XL for $5. Good deal.

Yup, now one of those I did grab. Not my first choice in line, but, decent enough especially at that price.

Otherwise I haven't heard anything terrible about it for a mono line.

 

Michael

Interesting, I haven't heard anything good about it. Terrible memory, about the only thing it would be good for is, maybe, backing.

But here's my best suggestion......go catch some CRAPPIES.....the meat is PURE white when cooked and NO fishy taste whatsoever.....but after you catch them put them on ice in the cooler if you don't have a livewell....Good Luck,

Bob

I find the same thing with perch or walleye. Eat them fresh, no fishy taste whatsoever.

Beautiful chrome hen, Chris. Definitely a gorgeous day to be out there!

Great stuff Rick!!

Would that be a Great Pyrenees? Awesome dogs, had one up until about 12 years ago.

Check out the pic in this link!!! Yikes

Fingers crossed that everyone makes it back home!!!

Sounds more like Blue Fox spinners than Little Cleos???

Holy white-outs in Kitchener!!

I realise these rigs catch fish, and, are all the rage, but...I have no desire to ever fish with one. Just my opinion

Lots of shops if the wife is into that Brian. Knick knack stuff, antiques etc.

Very close to some great brown trout fishing on the upper Grand, depending on if you are coming after trout opener.

Love to, but, as long as I have my current job, will never happen. Unless I can do it in one day, which would make the whole experience too rushed.

unlike many of his teammates actually plays with passion.

 

Yup, at least he looks like he gives a "you know what"!

As for the amount, ridiculous like all sport salaries.

Looking forward to a longer boating season then the last one.

AMEN, and Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those spring weekends last year were a disaster as far as getting out with my 14'er!

which tells me that more people are interested in hearing his opinion than yours or mine.

That's why he gets paid the big bucks. We all watched it, no?

Like I said, earlier, it's all about good tv.

Do I take it seriously, not very often
