Hi all, I cant believe it....i have broken a world record...i'm sure of it. Since moving here i have gone through at least one camera a year...but tonight i was putting Jack in the truck and left the darned camera on the tonneau cover and drove off:wallbash: 2 cameras down and its only May!!!! I'm actually not that bothered about the camera...things are replaceable////but the pics on it we took today of Jack in our boat's first outing today were priceless....i feel a bit sick to my stomach actually, oh well....maybe the person who picked it up will hand it in....there is hope yet. On a brighter note....before going out today i managed to find the leaking rivets by removing the false floor and me and a buddy launched along side a dock...4 rivets in the bow where it takes a beating from the front roller on the trailer. Managed to bang them flat again right there at the dock...JOB DONE Thanks OFC.....i needed a rant

Beauty fish...very clean.

Now that deserves a 'man card'!

Good stuff Paul..... Man card....pfffffft....overated.......get some pink gloves.

LOL...does sound a bit "oiirish", me thinks Newfie though.

Hi all, Just thought i'd post these, even though the pics dont do it justice, The sky tonight, even by "sunset country" standards, was awesome! Got to get fishing soon...the lake looks so inviting tonight!

Congrats Mike! Man....i hear ya about getting back home asap....i remember those 3 nights at the hospital when our son was born. Awesome new PB buddy!

Happy birthday Joey...go catch some fish!

Your on! And if you get time any day soon to try for bass and pike...you could always pm me and tell me what time you are picking me up at the Eagle River landing...its a 15 minute ride from my place and i think thats where your camp picks up guests. As one who works in the 'social services' sector Blair, you of all people would know that allowing the fish to release itself is all about 'empowerment' Not always a good thing....lol Yeah...he has been to swimming lessons since he was 2 months old, gonna try and get him enthused about getting his head under with a mask and snorkel this summer...i know a lake where he could watch the perch and bass swimming around. Thanks Geoff, hopefully the catches increase in size a bit for me this season! Absolutely the best place...oh...and thanks for the link to the cottage website...interesting. Absofreekinlutely Disco...i'm so pumped...only 9 more days and i'll be hitting Lac Seul...cant wait!

he's pretty good now Wayne...he did land in the drink the other day though...he was trying to launch his plastic sleigh and SPLASH...he was soaked through but only cried when he realised i was going to take him inside to change!

Hi all, Been busy...busy....busy. Thats where a lake at the bottom of the yard helps.....and i managed 20 minutes yesterday with boy between nightshifts to try for a big ice out pike...got one...but it was probably last years hatch......lol. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8jTGD6OTho?hl=en&fs=1"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8jTGD6OTho?hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8jTGD6OTho?hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I third that...especially if its a weight thing. I would say you could even get 2 days power from a 12 volt, sealed lead acid, 7AH.

great report Vincenzo.....keep it up....you swine!

Good stuff Frankie, now i'm itching to get out even more, my boat is out of storage...lol...a lot of work needs doing though The Lake looked perfect for ya, and those coho steaks look yummy!

Thanks Cookslav....amazing read..and great pics, just what i needed with my morning coffee....now i'm ready for the day! What a cool adventure!

Congrats x2 Paul. Inspirational. 15 years for me...i think i did mine in monthly instalments as opposed to 1 day at a time....lol.

:thumbsup_anim: nice one!

Welcome aboard Colin, nice to have another "limey" around....look forward to your fish tales.

good one Dave :rofl2: :thumbsup_anim:

Dood...i mean Mike...lol...i am sooooooo pleased for you...great news buddy! That last underwater pic is amazing...love it.

Thanks Joey, i'm loving that the cat follows us...she is a weird but very sweet kitty. DOOOOD...we will share a boat this year for sure! If you need to cuss me out Ryan..just use PMs....lol. Thanks for the reply Limey Doolittle....lol...gots a good ring to it. i'm dying to get out in the boat. Hey grt1.....i just went down to Gov. Dock on my way to work this afternoon....apart from our bay and 3 kms of the west arm the whole of the Goon to the east is completely locked in still.

Hi all, My wife and I actually had 3 days off in a row together. The weather sucked on Saturday and Sunday, so lots of indoor stuff got done, but on Monday afternoon when baby went down for a nap i went exploring. I stopped at Crappy tire on the way out to buy a new garden hose and bumped into my buddies Al and Carmon, lol....they joined the adventure. We went to see if a local trout lake had enough ice off to cast from shore....nope...few days yet. So we walked down to a creek running out of the same lake to see if the suckers had started to run....nope....again a few more days. However there was a solitary walleye of about 19" just holding in the current under the falls...pretty cool to just watch him waiting for the Ladies to show up EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM EH BUDDY? After that we headed to a small lake off the highway which we thought might be clearing of ice. This lake holds perch, pike and huge smallies. The ice was being blown off the lake as we watched and we stayed for an hour. Never fished for bass with the ice moving off the lake before...i got 2 hits and Carmon landed a decent one. GOOD ONE CARMON! I wanted to stay longer ....but my turn to cook supper...and baby was gonna be up after his midday nap...soooooo off we went. After supper we went for a family walk in our little piece of heaven. Its really great having a kid that loves the outdoors as we do this walk every evening now, before Jack came along we seldom did....its a really nice way to end the day. LOL...even 1 of our 3 cats has taken to coming along for the walk and will follow us the whole way....and given we have 9 acres....i am surprised she follows for the whole circuit of the property...lol...more like a dog! OUR KITTY EVEN JOINS US ON OUR EVENING STROLLS In that last picture, my wife and baby are standing on a little point on our shoreline that I had previously not noticed. The deer had beaten a trail off the main deer trail through the forest down tho the Lake. OMG...what a perfect spot to cast for my first ice out pike. We finished our walk and while baby and mum took a bath I snuck back armed with my floating jig set up and some 5"-6" minnows and suckers.......within fifteen minutes I had one on.....then i just sat for another 15 minutes breathing in the scenery on a beautiful evening.
