congrats - nice fish - and great use of your B-day presents.

I'll tell her you called her that

awesome report - and you got paid to do that?

If I had an open seat it would be offered for sure, but for some reason everytime I'm hitting the lake the seats have little "reserved" signs and this weekend has been booked for a while - weather permitting. Of course I could buy a bigger boat.........HEY -- ouch stop that (oops the Mrs saw that last comment! have to type with one finger for a week now)

If you dont have the gear (down riggers, dispseys or lead core) hooking a big Lake O fish will be a pretty tough. Spoonpullers would be a good place to get some info in a hurry. Or, if your serious about catching one and have a couple friends interested - get a charter. You catch fish (and an addiction) and have chance to learn lots. Definitely read the weather forecast and know what your boat can handle if you are going out in your own; like any of the great lakes, the conditions can change from calm to scary in the length of time it takes you to pull in your lines and turn for shore.

nice outing! Got a trip to the Soo coming up in a couple weeks -(in-laws 50th) be nice to get on to a few of those.

way to go to all involved - a fantastic outcome

very cool, glad to hear it Thanks for posting Spiel

What a great event! Over 10K raised for a worthy cause - everyone gets a handful of door prizes, a bbq and you get to go fishin' Way to go to all who participated - too bad I had to be out of town, next year I hope! Nicely done Ryan and gang - 1 big pat on the back

very nice emil. still hunting for some of those myself.

new camera? or did the rice do the job? Congrats on the big fish Cant wait for the report!

nice goin'

Good luck to all! Looking forward to the annual report Ryan. Frank - I told Steph about the event and she is doubling up on our pledge for the biggest fish between you and Julie (hope you see this before you leave -maynbe someone going can give Frankie65 the message if they see him?)

not for me thanks. the scenery is much better at 30 than -15 far to many people cant drive in snow and even if you do know how its just a pain I hate shovelling - but dont mind cutting the grass the daylight hours are not long enough The heat doesnt bother me and cold however seems to find me no matter how many layers I put on

notice I had two elements. And I'm not.

just pining for the fjords, hopefully not west nile virus, especially if you tried mouth to mouth during your rescutation efforts

nice pair you got there

priceless - do you hunt?

One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift... The next year, I didn't buy her a gift. When she asked me why, I replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!" And that's how the fight started.... ________________________________ My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?' 'No,' she answered. I then said, 'Is that your final answer?' She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..' So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." And that's when the fight started... ________________________________ My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table. I asked her, "Do you know him?" "Yes", she sighed, "He's my old boyfriend....I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since." "My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?" And then the fight started... ________________________________ When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer...always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house….was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway." The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp. ________________________________ My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, "What's on TV?" I said, "Dust." And then the fight started... ________________________________ Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and Slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the van, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed.. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible." My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?" And that's how the fight started... ________________________________ My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds." I bought her a bathroom scale. And then the fight started..... _______________________________ After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security . The woman behind the counter asked me for my driving licence to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt' So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application .. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office... She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.' And then the fight started... _______________________________ My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to me, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect." And then the fight started........

or money and political connections......

Thanks guys - MNR web site says ----- Lake trout Brook trout, bass , pike etc etc etc. Pan fish and bass will work for me.

My brother and sister are coming in from Britain. Havent seen them since my Dad passed away 4 years ago. They have both rented a cottage on Clear Lake off 118 in near Bracebridge. Just wondering if anyone has fished this lake / knows this lake and can advise what I may find there fish wise. . Going to check the MNR website, but not real confident of the reliability factor there. Thanks.

WOW. Not sure what else to say. just WOW.

Many Happyreturns Roy!
