So this is the fish in question, or just a massive muskie? edit: nvm, just saw the other thread. Monster fish.

That's awesome. I wish there was some good ice around here. Still waiting.

Something horrible is going to happen to that property.

Doesn't get much better than that.

Great fishing once again! I really like that first shot in the post. Looks like a really cool area.

Nice colours on those fish. Too bad about your uncle's luck but at least he got out there.

It's not even GNR though. It's just one guy from the band that is still full of himself. After they played the title track on FM96 in London, a guy called in and said the opening guitar line to the song sounded an awful lot like the theme song to 90210. That's too funny. Now I hear it all the time when they play that song. It's just mediocre songs that I have heard so far. Better than most crap pop bands out there today but definitely not on par with any of the real GNR albums with the whole crew.

If I recall correctly, I think the Simcoe season started off last year with 2 snowmobilers losing their lives, and then an older guy got lost out in the fog and walked the wrong way and ended up dying from exposure? Simcoe alone tends to get a few ppl each year...

Yeah, I like the radio ads that are currently playing around here. If you buy a Ford vehicle they now give you free Ford shares.. lol.

On Simcoe I almost exclusively use pickerel rigs with shiners for perch. Not the most active style of fishing but it's effective.

Thanks for the reminder. My 3 year card is done at the end of the year. Just renewed for another 3.

It's hard to keep a straight face watching that. The whole idea seems like a joke.

Gotta love the whole routine about how any given car was hardly driven and owned by a little old lady who just drove it to church.

Wow, great report. You've got it made! Must be nice to catch numbers of those fish without standing shoulder to shoulder with long lines of fisherman. You guys sure caught a lot of fish. Awesome report and great pics.

Great fish ya got there. All the sm bass pics from Simcoe are huge fish lately....

That's a huge steelhead!

IF you are concerned about supporting an artist that you like, go see them in concert and buy a T-shirt. That's where the artist makes the money.

I've seen this and other similar things before. It seems to me that whenever a product comes out that tries to incorporate too many things into one package, it's bound to fail. Who knows, maybe this thing is great, but it just looks like its going for the "cool factor" over being practical.. The pic of the guy shooting out of it is a bit of a reach. And the last pic makes it hard to tell if they were intending to drive on the ice or float in the water:) Imagine that thing being frozen into the lake like that.. Just my opinion.

You could apply that statement to a whole lot of things.

This is partly why I need help deciding. I'll look at a good name brand and they will have 2 or 3 highly regarded models and then I see that they have a bunch that get horrible reviews. I don't want to buy a name brand piece of junk

Thx for the response. I was really hoping to get some winter use out of what ever I decide on.

I am in need of suggestions/recommendations for a model of trail cam to purchase. I am looking to buy a trail cam for my father for a Christmas present next month. He doesn't hunt whatsoever but his place backs onto 30 acres or so of trailed bush with deer, beavers, coyotes, mink, and sometimes turkeys. He is a nature lover and is constantly walking around back there, especially in the winter, following deer tracks and spotting them all over the place. I have been thinking for quite a while that a trail cam would be a fantastic gift for him. I don't think he even knows they exist. I Pm'd Rickster a few weeks ago and he said he would recommend either the Bushnell Trail Scout or Stealth Cam that he uses. You can see the quality shots in his posts. Having seen that these cameras really do take great pics got me thinking more seriously about getting one. (thanks Rickster). I think I would like to buy a name brand camera that I know will stand up and that I won't get huge headaches in the event that something needs to be fixed. I think a 5+mp camera would be best for high quality shots. What I'm not sure about is the whole flash deal. Day shots need to be full color. That much I know. As for night shots.. There seems to be 2 options. Either normal flash or infrared flash. Some cams seem to take colour shots during both day and night and others take colour shots during the day but black and white pics at night. I guess the thinking is that a normal flash scares the animals off but I have been told that many times the animals don't run off after a normal flash and stick around for more pics! The idea of colour photos day and night sounds appealing. Short videos would be a cool thing as well, but not necessary. I have no knowledge of these devices whatsoever. I have read many reviews of different models and it seems that the most major issue is short battery life. I have heard of brands like Bushnell before but some brands I haven't heard of before and they are getting good reviews, like Moultrie. I was looking at ebay and found this camera: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-8MP-Infrared-Hunti...%3A1|240%3A1318 Sounds too good to be true and I didn't see any reviews of it... Also, the Bushnell Trail Scout Pro, with 7mp shots and with 8 different game calls to attract animals.. don't know if that is just a gimmick or worthwhile. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s...__SearchResults The cam wound probably be out for 24 hrs max at a time and checked/recharged. I assume good ones can stand up to an Ontario winter(?) Also, my Dad has absolutely no computer skills. Can't say he's ever touched a keyboard, so the idea of checking the pics on the unit itself or on a hand held device sounds good. Although, that is a minor consideration. Shouldn't be an issue to teach him to bring them up on a computer screen. Anyone have suggestions or recommendations? Greatly appreciated.

I would say that's a rainbow.

lol, what a depressing post.
