Sweet - mist rising off the water is magical - with one notable exception I have also always had good fishing those days.

Now that is a red sky at night - amazing colours

great pics Lew!. Although in that last one, the ears pulled back.... I seen that look last time I had to review the honey-do list on a day with West winds.......

nice trip Ace - looks like you did very well on the target species! 340 litres! that is some serious running (& $$$), especially on a lake with no charts and structure that'll come out those depths to the surface in seconds. Nipigon is an anglers heaven for sure.

meh...

All time best response to a phone solicitor... warning for those with politically correct ears, contains un-politically correct language....

beat me again. Its like a pop tart this time of year, look away for a moment and next thing you know its up and puttin out heat...

Just saw news about Dr J. Really enjoyed a lot of his stuff, his commercial success hid some awesome blues

depends on the country, but as a rule if it isn't stamped by 30 different regulatory agencies and bought at Duty Free you have a good chance of being on the next installment of Border Security. Meats, vegetables, fruit pretty much banned for importing everywhere to stop the invasive species thing. At least by people - if ships happen to dump a couple hundred thousand gallons of them in their ballast, meh, who knew?

Yeah, we're just taking our time to get up to speed. Give us some nice consistent fishing weather and we'll be out there watching

Its that time of year again.... didn't quite make the launch in time to beat her as she come over the horizon... but made for a cool shot over the marina. Wish I had brought my camera along as the phone really doesn't capture the colours

nice shots. Love the red starts - their song always reminds me of camping, peace and quiet.

Steph's camera is just a little bit better. with this cold they were lining up 5 or 6 deep to get at the orange. Even had them eating suet, which we haven't seen before

perseverance pays off - nice going!

I used to troll with my 50 when I had the 16 footer. You can use drift socks or buckets with holes drilled in them to slow you down more if you need to, or a trolling plate. You could also consider a 24 volt electric for trolling dead slow. I'd be aware of weight - both from a transom perspective (what can it safely support) and an impact to your clearance from the waterline. I have a 18 ftr with a 115 and a 20 (both 4 stokes which are heavier) . The 20 only weighs 10 more lbs than a 10. I got a steal of a deal on it (it was actually cheaper than the 9 I was originally looking at). Its a little heavier than I would like and required a bit of ballast up front to offset the weight. You may want to consider a small kicker (5 hp or less) and a VHF DSC radio. I used my 20 to get me home once. I can't say I would count on it if things turned nasty and my main failed - I'd be on the radio.

Great time of year for the back yard. The orioles move down to the river once the trees are in bloom. First time for a tanager. The rest just hang out with us all summer

well, since you asked....

Fuji Fine pix waterproof underwater, point and shoot, and for those BC skylines, panoramic with a push of a button.

he's 16, a meal is just a 30 minute break in a constant state of hunger. Might have the cash the RESP in to feed him...... Not too many scoring chances as scrum half, but he did score once in a tourney last week.

nice shootin! My co-pilot wouldn't raise from the dead before 7......

yeassss boy. We back

G asked for one of his faves for Easter. Peking duck on the spit Didn't last long..... actually, I think G ate half the bird before he would have had time to get airborne

Cheating - not from this year, but a great view to wake up to, sip a coffee and plan a day on the lake... won't be long now

Happy 74th to one of the all time great axemen
