Great report Pete! Good to see you getting out for the "toothy critters" again.

Keep driving down the road past Paquettes to Happy Day Lodge on Windermere lake.

 

It's 10,000 times better.

Yup, but, book early!

And so it begins..........

No better freshwater fish to eat, Bob! Nice going, hope to hit our side of the lake again soon for some more of those tasty beauties.

That 14" is really nice.

Great stuff!!! Good work, guys!!!!!!!!!

If you don't use a scale then don't answer the question!

Bingo!!!

can this one be done?

Dana can have my scale for free if he comes down here

No kidding. The guy asks for a little advice on buying a scale and the whole thread turns into a holier than thou, fish weighing argument. Yup winternet is coming early.

Digital scales are just cheapo spring scales with a digital readout(same crap for more money)...............chatillon is only way to go

I'm not complaining when mine is within .3 (or less) of a lb, verified to a government certified scale.

Like I said though, I don't use it alot, so who knows, with increased use it could become "loosey-goosey".

I've owned more than a few scales since I was about 10 years old... and have NEVER weighed a fish. Yes I've caught some... just never see a need.

I don't weigh them very often, probably why the battery is still good on the one I have. Had to weigh the sheepshead I got out with Lloyd last Thanksgiving weekend just cause it was such a pig.

I've had one of the Berkley digital scales for over ten years now, measures in .1 of a lb increments. Still accurate within .3 of a lb. I've done side by side testing with our certified scale at work.

Received it as a Christmas gift, so not sure of the cost...think they are under $40?

Find it much better than any of the old spring scales I had.

One for now.

Great post John. I've enjoyed your photos on the Grey-Bruce forum for a few years now.

I'll see what photos I can dig up from my little Nikon P&S.

I don't find it too bad going through Toronto with the boat, but, I'm only towing a 14fter. Avoid rush hours, obviously, early morning pre 6 AM is by far the best.

Yup, 100% chinook.

I second the Alaska and Argentina trips Mike mentioned. Also the Costa Rica (was actually looking into that trip this week, still a little rich for my blood) rainforest adventure/fishing trip, and a trip to New Zealand for both the brown trout fishing and the scenery!!

mmm...

 

OH YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

How about "dem" apples, eh, Jacques??

Nice crop, enjoy!!

Sorry guys I did bring the sign but left it in the cabin

No worries...bacon wrapped walleye, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Great stuff Gord! Bacon wrapped walleye, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!

I second Jacques' question, any upgrades for the team

Sounds like a blast. Good stuff guys.

Nice Try... You won't get my spots that easily

 

I thought about stopping in but after cleaning all those fish I needed to get home and go to bed lol

Why do I have visions of you in disguise, out on the water

I'm insulted you guys were in my neighborhood and didn't stop in for a beer!

 

Good work on the perch though Frank!

 

Cheers,

Ryan

Funny, as we were passing by DC I mentioned to Juli that we still had to drop in and say hi, plus pick up one of the posters from the Fish-A-Thon.

If I make it down for a shot at some of those brownies, I'll let you know when.

Maybe we can set up a perch fish with Dan and Shawn, be fun to get the four boats out there together.

On another note, I haven't posted a whole lot this summer...a combo of having the new baby and I've been busy finishing the basement so I haven't gotten a whole lot of fishing in... I'll do up a proper summer report once I finish beating down on my in-land closer browns!

 

Cheers,

Ryan

Might see you out there one evening Ryan. Nice job on the basement. We're starting ours this weekend, now that foundation dig/repair is all done.

Good luck with the kid's fishing day!!

Great family fishing report!! Sounds like a great time, and, I'm sure the boys didn't care that the 'eyes were smaller.

Thanks for sharing!

Great report Frankie,Good to see you guys on sunday we should have stayed out the storms went the other way by the looks of it as we left the PP .

Thanks, Shawn!! Nice surprise bumping into you. That sky was looking pretty nasty, plus, we had a decent meal of perch in the livewell so no regrets.

We'll get more next time...have to slide over to Big Dan's area
