Welcome to the board!! Good luck with answers on your question...curious myself about Lake of Bays. The better half used to go up that way in her "younger days", and was talking to me about taking our boat up there.

Great, stuff, Dan!!!! Looks like this year's event is going to top last year's easily! I'm proud to be a part of it, can't wait to see the final pledge totals!

Put me down for another $10 as well .Now Frank, you have a mission to accomplish!

I will be watching

I shouldnt kid around,my girls have out fished me on a few occasions!

Ah, man they're ganging up on me, now

I'll take you up on that as well, Vince!! Do you know yet, if you will be there for sure???

Tell you and Rick what...if she catches a bigger fish than me, I will add another $20 out of my pocket to the pledges...that way there is another $20 regardless of who gets a bigger fish!!

Frank - do you mean to say she out fishes and out pledges you?

I'll add $10 to your total if you can beat her for biggest fish for the day - you may want to take those lucky pennies away from her

Scout's honour....

LOL!!!!!! Hey, I kicked her butt fishing at Restoule! She is doing awesome in the pledges...think she is over $450 closing in on $500 now!

Thanks, for the offer Rick...I'll do my best to beat her and her deadly new bass combo (involves a crazy electric blue Yum trailer)!

Great report/photos, John! Some decent fish as well, looks like a good time was had (other than the initial rain).

Yes, you don't need many baits.

 

Without sounding like a stick in the mud, You should get yourself a proper net and release tools for muskie prior to going out. If you don't have a heavy enough rod, reel, line and leader, there's good chance you'll be killing your first muskie. I know that this sounds really negative to someone who's starting out and I certainly don't want to be discouraging you but it is something to at least consider.

 

Good luck to you and give us a report of how you make out.

Good point, Roy. Once he is set-up properly. In-line bucktail spinner black with either red/orange or chartreuse would be my choice if I could only have one bait. You can cast it or troll.

Now I 've heard tell, that if...just if... you behave yourself, Lloyd might let you have a nap up in the cozy cabin between fish

Ask him what the "in-flight" movie is as well, lol!!!

Good luck, if you do make it out, Mark.

How's there pledges coming? I'm over $300 now

Nice, Dan!! I'm at about $200...Juli is up to close to $400, I think, with a few more people to pledge (she's smoking me!!!!!)

Ok quick question for you Dan...Having never been to this lake what is the launch like there? Im wondering if we should be there an hour or so early to get launched? were bringing a 12 ft tinny so if its real busy we could just toss it in anywhere. what are your thoughts on this? Do we start at 8 am sharp?

I can give you a decent answer on that one...the launch isn't usually that busy. Remember there are no gas motors allowed on the lake, so it cuts down on boat traffic considerably. There is a decent grade heading down to the lake, but, you could walk a 12 fter in fairly easily.

Looks like we are going to have quite the cold front rolling through, so, super-slow presentations this weekend.

I'll let Dan or Ryan help out more with the time...I'm not sure what time the gatehouse will be open.

Another $100 pledge from Juli's mom!!! Thanks Judi

Participating in the Fish-a-Thon for Cancer, Saturday. Putting up a section of fence either Sunday or Monday. RELAXING, the rest of the time!!!!!!!!!!

Great report/photos!!! Good thing I started eating lunch, those striploins and elk look fantastic!

If it is just collecting dust, why not make it available. I've purchased a few items on the board, and, have been very happy with the money I saved. As I'm sure the guys I've purchased from have been happy to get some extra cash towards what they want to purchase.

Go for it Geoff!!

Now THAT is dedication...or maybe just plain old "fish crazy"!! Way to go Aaron, Mitchell and Justin!! Some really nice kings

Hey Gang!

 

20+ Fish-A-Thoner's confirmed, and prizes are coming in by mail daily!

 

Thanks again for all your time and support and keep it up!

 

Cheers,

Ryan

That's great, Ryan!! Back at work, trying to get some pledges together...three people so far, not as much as I hoped for, but, it is only Monday.

Notice a trend, again?? I would recommend Lloyd as well. Satisfied customers, speak volumes, and Lloyd gives back to this board by offering specials on charters, as well as donating charter time as a prize for the Fish-a-Thon for Cancer.

Well said. I finally took the time to sit and read this, and, I am trully sorry for your loss. Another reason why the Fish-a-Thon that Ryan is puttin on this weekend is important...cancer hits home for all of us at one time or another.

Keep fishing, know that it is what Hutch would want.

Fish with Juli all the time. She loves to fish, be it in the boat, on the ice on the river...so yeah, I'm pretty lucky. She isn't a member of the board, but, sees many posts on here through me.

Holy bleep, Steve...you are definitely a "hawg master"! Nicely done, as usual!

Thank everyone, it was a fantastic week! and we were happy everything worked out great in the end.

 

@ @ Frankie

Me too! We were fishing in the boat and it just walked out RIGHT in front of us. Before I got that picture I was struggling to get the camera out of the boat bag but there was actually two bucks who walked out and they fought. This guy was the victor and got to stay in the watering hole. SOO cool.

That would have been amazing! Every deer we saw at Restoule was a doe, but, the way they just wander throughout the park is amazing. Congrats on some nice fish as well.

Also kudos, once again, to Golden Eagle camp for coming through for you two!

Oh and Frankie, I have some cool stuff booked for the kids during the BBQ! There's also supposed to be a few other young ones coming who are the same ate as your boys!!

Sounds great, Ryan!! Don't want to jinx it, but, last time I checked the weather is shaping up nicely for the day, as well!

Way to go, Joey!! Couple nice bows and a good "eater" salmon...nice pics, looks like you are enjoying that new camera!

Less than a week to go...so bump, again. We're bringing the boys along for the day as well. Great to see so many OFNers contributing/pledging/offering up prize packs!! Way to go everyone

A great end to a very hard beginning. The photos are great, love the buck wading at the side of the water!!

Way to go guys!! Three beauties, anyways, with a really nice perch to boot. I was wondering how the waves were for you two...was pretty windy up at Scugog as well, but, the areas we fished weren't too choppy. Hope to make it out for the next "practice session"!
