Great report and story, thanks for sharing it.

Welcome aboard FamilyFisherman, enjoy - its a great site. And well, what the heck, welcome aboard too Cliff

Nice job guys, Cliff congrats on the new PB

My friend John and I decided on today as Father / Son Fishing day. John had business in Toronto yesterday so we decided to make a little Boys mid week weekend out of it. I picked up my son Ryan and John's 3 boys late yesterday afternoon, headed to Toronto and met up with John at Bass Pro Shops. Did a little shopping, replenishing all the lures that were bit off on my French River trip, some other goodies that I bought that I didn't need but were just too cool to put back and got out of there. We went out for a nice dinner with the boys and headed for a hotel in Mississauga. We hit the sack and were up at 5 to meet our charter, Salmon Strike Charters, for our day on the water. The boys on the dock getting ready to board My son Ryan showing how enthused a teenager can be getting up at 5am and seeing sunrise John was up first, had a nice Chinook but lost it at the boat His youngest Brett was up next and did a great job Here he is with his first salmon After that, things slowed down and we went a long time between hits. Had a couple knockoffs to get the blood pumping but it wasn't to be. Finally about a half hour before heading in, one of the rods went off and Ryan was up. He did a great job too and landed his first ever Rainbow, 26" 6lbs That was it for the fish, we were out in 180 fow, both fish landed hit a Stinger (Green/Gold) down 30 & 40'. Not a lot of action but thanks to Paul and Maria for a great day out, they both took a great deal of time with the kids, teaching them things and making it a very good day. Last pic, teenagers doing what teenagers do best on the ride in (guess 5am is too early for them)

Must have been quite the job trolling for muskie in a peddle boat Good luck on the move out east this week, hope all goes well out there for you two. Looking forward to the East Coast reports.

hey UA, have a great vacation - can you catch anything in Serbia that we can enter in the tourney have a great trip, looking forward to hearing about it when you return

Nauti, I have a 19' Larson that I bought last fall all set up as you are looking for. You ever want to go out for a day to see what you like and don't like, let me know and we can set something up. It is docked in Port Rowan, we can hit the outer bay and go after some bows and eyes. I'm not selling it but might give you more of an insight into what you want / don't want. I bought it from a guy here, 1986 19' Larson, 4 electric downriggers, GPS, VHF, Sonar, Stereo, Top, 5HP Honda Kicker, etc etc etc for the price range you are looking at. Let me know and maybe we can hook up and get out for a day. I did buy it though in the fall after the season was over and he had already purchased a new boat, seemed then that the deals were a little better but that was when I was looking.

Thanks, I am heading down there Saturday morning so will just kind of play follow the leader.

Great job Brian, thanks for the report. Top half of the field again too, keep on moving up!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad to hear the keys survived their hairy ride up there too lol - always good to have someone looking out for ya.

Nice job Jer - congrats on the nice fish

Gerritt, congrats on the new ride. She looks great, looking forward to your reports from her. If you are ever want to bring her down to Long Point, let me know and we can hook up for a day on the bay.

Amazing, can't wait for the show Aaron. Thanks for the report

Nice job. How was the harbour going out, hearing reports that it is tricky navigating your way through the silted in parts.

CH, I am ready to donate $25 to someone's tackle box again. Count me in.

MB, think I just figured out how the hole got in your waders

Happy Birthday Roy, have a great day and many more wonderful years to come.

Have a great time Lew and best of luck on the water. Safe travels

Welcome to OFC, lots of great people and info here.

ah, Pete, he said 25" girth, not 52" girth

Great job Mike, good to the kids out and catching fish. Nice job and Thanks.

Nice fish but you are going a little heavy on the sunscreen. Need to tan a little bit

Nice job Rich and a good day for you and your dad. How is the baby doing btw???

She didn't????? Oh ya, forgot to add nice fish, not 12lb, closer to 6 but nice fish all the same.

bowslayer, try Ferguson's RV on Hwy 3 in St. Thomas, they might be able to do it right for you. Or Elgin RV just down the road from them

Not sure about a varied palate Nemo but I sure hope if that is stocked in your fridge you always have a good supply of TP on hand at home. Myself, I am cheap and prefer the $10 savings every case - Laker Lite here (have to maintain this panther like physique some how)
