Thats a huge crappie!!

Do they have the same scam at CT? we dont have a home depot here

That really is a monster!!

Anatz....i am gonna speak up for ya....being " a person of color" as i was refered to the other day. I am not in a position to say whether or not you were approached bcause you are a visible minority, but given some of my life experiences i would not doubt it! But dood....wont be the first or last time, hope your ma enjoyed the Sunfish

nice bassessesses!

Fantastic report Joey, absolutely lovin' the pictures, specially the island with the wind, the Jumping chippy and the mowhawk. Thats a nice size walleye you got there too.

Great job Cliff.

WOW!

Nice one, goin out tomorrow evening for some smallies myself...hope to get into them like you did. Thanks for sharing

Hey MRM, I can sympathise with you, my boat was under water all day, NE blows right over the trasnsom and the NE wind was howling at 40kmh plus all day with heavy rain. Went out this afternoon and stood in my chest waders trying to lift the transom whilst bilge pump was on, but water was crashing over faster than the little pump i installed from CT could empty it. I gave up after 1 hour, waves had come over the top of my waders too so totaly soaked through, so glad there was a howling wind cuz i was cursing at the top of my lungs and dont think my neighbours could here me over the wind. I'm normally pretty good watching weather report and getting it out before it hits(i dont have a dock to moor it to) but was totally sidetracked these last 2 days with news of wife's pregnancy and work.....lol...i think i was more stressed about the boat than anything else!!! Luckily the motor was not underwater....but its stressful....boy is it stressful...specially since once its under not much ya can do about it.

Thanks for all the good luck and well wishes folks. After the initial shock.....been in a bit of a daze the last 2 days, i'm absolutely buzzing now, very excited. I know it can be a bumpy ride from here on out....lol....and for at least the next 25 years as someone kindly pointed out...but hey....a new fishing partner, well worth it. I see all the pics of you people out with your kids and it looks so great, this kid better like fishing...lol!!!!! Once again, thanks all. Simon.

LOL Jedi....canadians and hockey...lol....love it....i think it was more a case of curving it round the wall from 35 yards with the outside of the boot into the top corner.

well, we have been trying and trying for over 2 years now, god knows how many 'casts' ive made (snigger) but my wife runs into the room yesterday with the pregnancy test kit....HOLY !!!! WE DID IT!!!! she is pregnant....NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A PB!!! Better start working on the plans for a changing table in the boat.....hehehehe.

What works for me is to cast at shore near or on top of weeds with Mepps Comet spinner(dressed is better in my experience). And Lew....i got stuck 3 times like that last week...good job my hooks are pretty blunt...lol...

great report Cliff, congrats Bly on the PB...thats a very fat carp. Quick question for you carp guys....can you get 'Dynamite Marine Halibut Pellets' over here?...the same dynamite brand also makesa good Marine Halibut boilie dip/additive....i have some plans for it next winter when fishing for whities

Very impressive Laker.....where is Big Sand Lake?.....lol

Tbay me ole mucka....like i said...i'm still in shock she got into the fishng so much....i mean she was even getting competitive...gave me a good run for my money too!

Hogman...i'm in ZONE 5 OF ONTARIO and LMB and SMB is open all year here.

I have a 1 year old husky lawn tractor...i thought it was pooched...kept stalling....worked out in the end it was cuz the grass was too thick and wet. lol...i'm too new to all this kinda thing.

Hi Y'all, Went back to my bass haunt, this time my wife wanted to come with me. She does not fish very often, but likes being in the boat to read and catch some sun. She does however like fishing for Pike, so i promised her we would go for some. We headed off at about 2pm, round the corner of our bay through the channel and into Mile Lake. It has almost become tradition for us to anchor up first in a little weedy bay at the entrance to this lake (not much weed there at the moment though) and have a few casts. Erika(my wife) has been secretly stocking up on Mepps spinners...lol....and produces a few before we left...saying she wants to try them...as the colors were so pretty. Now I’m not going to be condescending about what could arguably be described as more ‘feminine’ lure color selection process, because it has proved to be a very effective technique in the past...for example....whilst in France a few years back, we ...or mostly me...were float(bobber) fishing for CHUB ....she chose a float because it was round, stubby and "cute", I was pretty mean at the time and scoffed dismissively.....but it was the float that worked best, lol...would she let me try it...not likely! serves me right. We were in the little bay for half an hour...me with a topwater...and my wife with her new Mepps. Well after half an hour it was 3-0 to my wife...lol...she always does that. ONE OF 3 PIKE THAT MY WIFE CAUGHT <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i263.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/vishuscirquel/Picture024.flv"> SHE AINT SQUEEMISH EITHER, GET THOSE HOOKS OUT GIRL!!! <a href="http://s263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/vishuscirquel/?action=view¤t=Picture001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/vishuscirquel/Picture001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> After that half hour it went very quiet, so she suggests we try for some of the bass i had been catching recently. I suggested we try Trap Lake behind Mile Lake connected by another weedy channel. I had been into there once this year, but it was pretty dead as far as the fishing went, but the water had warmed since my last visit and weeds are starting to grow. I had caught a few bass in there last year, and was eager to test the rocky shorelines in there as this is where thefish were holding up in numbers on Mile :Lake. I was very hopefull because Trap Lake has more of this shorelinde feature than the Lake we were on. We headed off and started at a long stretch of rocky shallow shoreline....not a sniff in the first hour...but we persevered and were rewarded....Topwater lures were the hot lure...with shallow crank baits working well when we knew a fish was there but had hit the topwater a few times and was a bit spooked. I am gonna use a cliche now and let pictures and video paint a thousand words...all in all non stop action...at least 30 fish in the 4 hours we were in there.

A lot of my buddies wife's give them 'the look' when they ask PERMISSION to go fishing...not my wife...she tells me its a thrill to watch me enjoy something i'm so passionate about...and that she will always know where i am....lol... feel blessed to be married to her.

Chug Bugs are awesome!!! and topwater fishing is definitely one of my favourites....great for pike too...love seeing a pike launch 2 feet outta the lake to whack the lure!!!

Nice pics, great report. I had a day like that last year...we trolled for lakers for 6 hrs with one 9 incher all day...we then headed off for some bass fun for an hour before we packed up...my buddies son absolutely killed the bass on a large twity grub he only had one of...we just sat and watched him pull in fish after fish...lol...good fun Thanks for sharing....the guy snoozing is scary...lol

Hey Mike....i'm new to fishing over here...and am still amazed at the colors of lures that catch fish...i mean since when was there anything orange and pink that glows in the dark to be found naturally in any habitat ??? coming from a backround of sea fishing...the species i was used to catching required as natural a looking bait as possible if not a live bait...this has been a steep learning curve for me. Nice thread Thanks...lemme know how you get on.
