We had a bunch last weekend on Callendar. Nothing on worms, not even a bite. Everything we managed was on minnows. When we go up for the May opener, that's all the eyes will take is worms. Not sure I understand walleye.... Sherriff

Don't know, never noticed them when I was inhailing my steak. I'll find out who brought those and scratch their name off next years list. Sherriff

Great pike and looks like the trip was a blast.... Sherriff

Met all the guys at my place early Friday morning for out annual Callendar Bay trip to Rob Hyatt's. Great spot and Rob always makes sure everyone has everything they need. Was pretty pumped since I convinced a few buddies who have never been on the ice before to join us this year. Had 10 total. 2, 6 man sleeper huts. Fishing was SLOW and my hut was really crap. Managed only two fish in my hut but that's not too bad considering that only 10 fish were caught all weekend. Not counting the litter of mud puppies that were brough in.. Some of the guys were getting constant hits but could not set the hook. After some messing around they did get into some dink perch and herring. My one buddy caught the first fish, a perch on this sweet setup he tied himself and refused to change it all weekend because it DID catch a fish. Can't argue with that I guess.. I was skunked up there last year and for the May 24 opener as well so it looked like I was getting another good skunking this time. I headed over to the other hut for some beers and took my rod along. The guys managed a few more herring and then I hear a reel screaming. Lee's rod was bent over the hole and something was peeling his line and it was angry. Was the best 10 seconds of action he had all weekend. Snap! Gone. That got us all pumped for a while and then I think I hooked his pike. Took me a little while to get this one in. Was still great to lose my skunk and get onto the board. Turned out to be the best fish of the trip. More puppies Late Saturday night while playing poker one of the rods started bouncing, I set the hook and brough in our only Walleye. Was over the slot and a fatty but she went back down the hole. None of the other huts did too well either. Was really slow. All of fish came on white jigs tipped with a minnow or just a small hook and a minnow..... We decided to bail out early Sunday to get home for the game. Weather was getting bad on Hwy 11 North. Road were terrible. I had some other guys coming over to my place for our annual Steak Bowl party. It's a simple but disgusting concept. We get steaks in ounces to match the Super Bowl number. 41 ounces this year! A few pansies took some leftovers home and won't be invited back next year. Don't have all the pics but here is an idea of the disgusting amount of meat we consumed. Rare for me..... Group Shot Then a midnight snack Great weekend, lots of fun, poker, eating and some good fishing. Was a blast CornNug... Sherriff

Great job man, love the looks of those Lakers.. Sherriff

Sweet brown....Way to go. Sherriff

Currently, I have a fishfinder and a marine radio wired to my starting battery (I only have one). I want to add (in time) another fish finder (bow) and a front 24v trolling motor. My question is, how many batteries will I need in total 2 or 3, do I need an on board charger, and does anyone have any wiring schematics for boats/batteries? Thanks Sherriff

I went Saturady with my son, my brother and his kids. Was my first time. It was a blast. The kids loved it. Amazing the beating these trucks can take.. We had a pit pass before the show and we could get down on the floor and get a closer look at the trucks etc. I am still amazed at the idiot adults pushing kids outta the way so they can get a picture of the suspension or engine of the trucks. I like trucks as much as anyone but come on, budding in front of a 4 year old so you can touch a truck. Give me a break. I think Guinness World Records should stop by for the largest collection of mullets and plaid shirts in one place.... Still a great time... Sherriff

Great cover! Love Cash. Sherriff

Good luck and look forward to your report. Andy, it'll be a good trip. Sherriff

Relax Andy, I talked to Rob, he told me to tell you to RELAX!!! There will be lots... Sherriff

WOw, I may actually get the wife out on the ice in a hut like that... Sherriff

I like Nanmark. Good people and a great location. It is in Callendar Bay on Nippissing... Terry & Liz Hyatt 340 Lighthouse Road Callander, ON P0H 1H0 (705) 752.3125 1.877.220.7358 [email protected] Sherriff

Way to go Corn, sorry I could not join ya....Next time. Sherriff

First I would like to say. FAT CATS ROCK! CCMTCANADA, awesome stuff. Great covers. Really good tunes there. Not only are you a walleye slayer, your a great performer too. I feel sorry for you however. It must be tough to lug all your fishing gear to the cottage and then have to still make room to bring the amps, guitars, drums etc so you can jam out after fishing. Great work... Sherriff

Still looking but it will happen soon Carp..... See ya Sherriff

Nice story. Here's another from my house.... My son has a pet rock named "Rocky". Don't know why. We found poor old Rocky all alone on a hiking trail one day and my son wanted to take it home. I thought, no big deal. Now this stupid rock is in an old peanut butter container full of water. He talks about it all the time, carries it, brings it in the car. Time for Rocky to have an accident soon I think.....LOL. Sherriff

Anyone have any info on the quality of the Mirrocraft boats. Specifically the 1845 Dual Impact XL. Or if you have one are you happy with it? Thanks Sherriff

I am booked in there for Feb 2-4 with Corn Nug and a bunch of buddies. Hope for some good ice... Sherriff

BURN!!!!!!!

Thank you Sherriff

I cannot seem to find any posts on buying a boat from the US. I know i have seen some in the past. Anyone have any experience with this or links to the posts. Thanks Sherriff

Awesome report Bunk. Way to go picking the right lure. I can hear Ransome still crying. LOL..... Great lakers man and nice meeting you too! Sherriff

Fishboy, Yes, I am much better looking! LOL Setomonkey, yes, first ever. Was a great way to end 2006.. Wayne, serious muscle and in that current it seems to be even stronger.... Sherriff

Ya Corn Nug, that is my first. As for poor results, there were a number of boats out there and many did not get anything over two or three days. I was lucky for sure and can't complain... Was a good trip. Sherriff
