Good fishin' Blair.......Wayne is just jealous those black spots have quite a story behind them too. Black Spot is actually the larvae of a parasite. The parasite has a quite complex lifecycle- and would be very lucky indeed to actually complete it! It starts out (if a life cycle can start…) with snails. Eggs of the parasite in the water of creeks or rivers hatch and infect snails. Inside the liver of the snail they slowly develop, until eventually leaving the snail to find a fish. When they find a fish the larvae burrow under a scale in the fishes skin (causing much irritation to the fish). The parasites then hope the fish will be eaten by a bird or other animal so that the lifecycle can continue. When they are eaten they quickly mature in the intestines of the host animal and produce large numbers of eggs. These eggs are then excreted, making their way back to the water of a creek or river. And the cycle continues

interesting read. But i still cannot see how a hand controlled bow mount would be easier to control than say a bow mount with remote control or even a newer i-pilot system.

Hey JD...i think that is a really good selection. I typically have a tube jig, jig and minnow for deadstick and jigging, and some kind of noise making /flash lure. I find that different lures on different lakes are my go to. But what you have is pretty much covering all the bases.

get well soon dude....like the others said...best place to be.

WHAT'S THAT NOISE....OH....ITS MY BLOOD BOILING! The sad thing is i have heard some ridiculous things on this site over the years and am pretty sure you are not the only member on here who shares this misguided and frankly PLAIN IGNORANT view. How do i claim not to be ignorant on this topic? Years as a homeless person myself, 5 years working for the probation service in England, 6 years working for a Housing Association ( a non profit housing organisation for homeless) a friggin sociology degree and a further 4 years working within the addictions field....for God sake...just google "what percentage of homeless people have a mental illness or addiction" or both.

Perhaps they are suffering with a mental illness that contributed to their status as a homeless person?

He's definitely not easily fooled. OOOOOOPS

nice Jacques...'reel' nice

Hi all. Got out to a local lake with a friend today to try for Lakers. This lake can provide some of the best fishing for Lake Trout and trophy walleye (walleye fishing definitely better on the softwater) in our area...however today was not a fast and furious day...still fun, but slow. The wind was not slow though, in fact I don’t think I have ever been out on the ice with wind like that before.....must have been gusting to at least 60kmh! We dared not stand up as the shelter was trying to 'take off'. BY THE END OF THE SESSION I HAD QUITE THE SNOW DRIFT AROUND MY SLED Got supper...one fish and put back 2 smaller ones for another day.....rattling' lipless cranks did the damage today for trout and ling. Kind of cool to catch ling on that lure...never done that before. LING ON LIPLESS CRANKS??......GO FIGURE! I also got to watch a big...BIG trout circling my crank bait at 5' under the ice through the hole....it was really exciting to watch...but alas it did not take the bait. Another bitter sweet moment was right at the end when Garnet lost a walleye that might have touched 30"!!!! Really cool ...it was suspended at 20 feet over 60 feet of water and Garnet reeled up from the bottom to meet it....the fish absolutely nailed it....we thought it was a trout until Garnet saw it, then darned thing caught the ice at the hole and got off!!!!!DOH! We would have moved around a bit but weather conditions made it almost impossible to do so. HERE'S THE VIDEO FROM TODAY....SORRY ABOUT THE 'TALKY' BIT, I PROMISED MY 2 YEAR OLD I'D SHOW HIM THE 'PUCK' WORKING <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/M5iHubYDXN4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

and i thought you had been abducted by aliens.

LOL...good stuff Mike...all those age recomendations are for other peoples kids in my experience.

:thumbsup_anim: :thumbsup_anim: :thumbsup_anim: :thumbsup_anim: AWESOME RC! Good to hear you got out. I also friggin hate forgetting the minnow scoop!

It is the very same Fenwick...medium heavy action....awesome all rounder...will handle trout, walleye and sensitive enough for whities...i like 'em!

lol...ok...its pretty disgusting...but its actually a layer of our dogs tongue stuck to the axe head. We heard an almighty yelp....then the dog appeared from inside the garage with blood around his mouth....that was a lesson learned the hard way....dont lick metal objects when it is minus -20 C! Dog is fine by the way.

Its an axe...yes....but there is no snow. LOL...nope.

good hunting Jacques..... I also saw those mini Quantums at CT and picked one up. Seems like a good little reel for the price.

he gives the camera man the finger...LOL...Awesome! Great fishing guys....good to see ya found safe ice. That is quite the haul of crappie.

Merry xmas and Happy new Year Mike!

Hi all, hope you all had a wonderful Xmas and have begun the recovery process We had a wonderful Xmas, although i pulled night shifts xmas and boxing day, still managed lots of fun...and even some fishing with family and friends. Jack is now 3 months away from his 3rd birthday....and while last year he kinda got the whole xmas thing...this year he totally got what it was about.....it was the best feeling in the world to see his little face light up opening presents, the excitement in his voice all day, the look of disbelief and joy when he was allowed to eat candy and chocolate at will in large amounts...priceless. Here are some pics from xmas and boxing day............. Hope you enjoyed those....now i have 4 days of work...then 2 days chasing Lakers and Whitefish!!!!! Happy new year to you all, Simon.
