Whopper

I saw that mister, it's a title I'd glady give up That is a real bruiser

Hang in there Kelvin

Since we are on this subject I have a question So the lake is 150 foot wide and lets assume there are boats docked/moored on each side, shouldn't it be a no wake zone?

Good point Wayne but..... I don't have trailer brakes I kind of wish I did though, my 17.5 footer is a heavy boat for it's size

Rizzo the boat under power has to give way to the boat that is not

I bought a set four years ago (not PA's), I was a little reluctant because they had just come out, well I haven't had one bit of trouble since. Last weekend some guy freak out at the ramp and started yelling at me " Your lights are on" I said so, it ain't going to hurt those LED lights and he just looked at me funny Now I don't make a habit out of keeping them plugged in while backing in the water, but if they were still incandescent I would have blown a bulb or two

Do you have a Droid or any other type of smart phone? My son does and the GPS feature work for us last weekend when I forgot my GPS

Pontoon guy brought help on Sunday I was nice to meet you guys

Bob I'm no youngster The cost of everything ain't like it used to be. I could complain about traveling the thruway in your state, Cripes PN state line to Utica NY used to be free also,then it was pocket change now one has take a loan out, but I still won't complain because I choose to visit there. My first trip to Ontario 1973 the exchange rate was upside down, I had a hard time understanding why I would have to give an extra ten cents on a dollar, I sucked it up. As far as the good ole days I can also remember many years where the exchange rate was way in our favor (50 to 60%)I believe we are about par now. As far as the fishing or should I say "catching" it all depends on where you go in Ontario, places I've been to in the last few years with the exception of Nipissing, it's hard to believe at any time it was too much better

Art I feel the same way, small price to pay for a privilege to enjoy ourselves. My comment on the "easier" part was I thought #1 we would be able to purchase our licenses online which isn't the case yet. On some of my trips it's been a hassle trying to find a place that is open to purchase one and #2 we wouldn't have to give all our info when we renewed. Having the "Green Card" does not get us a discount on licenses and I always feel like I get my money's worth

I have the same card Art I didn't mind paying for it, it was supposed to make it easier for us to obtain future licenses which it hasn't

Thanks Wayne Now I'm really missing my annual float plane ride

I have dibs if you upgrade

It's alright by me After all one of our brightest stars come from the Toronto area...Joey Votto

Sorry to hear about your misfortune It's good to see you out and at em though Good Luck

Fine looking young man and even better yet you two have good taste in ballcaps/baseball team. Fantastic report, looks like a great outing Quality time fishing with your son is priceless Thanks for sharing

Congrats to the both of you I hope you enjoy many years together

Can't really think of a more deserving person to have this happen too, Jim you earned it

Good story TG I'm surprised 15" kept you "pinned" anywhere. Dan I have spent three openers until this last season with Connie and have sat and listened to many stories of his trips to the promise land and never tire hearing them. TG is definitely tuned in to what goes on. Sorry to have missed this last opener while you were up there, don't think for one minute I've forgotten the helping hand you lent me a few years back and hopefully one day I can repay you somehow. Connie I hope all goes well for you next week

Call Sparky

I don't get either one of them down here unless they air them on Versus I still have a bitter taste in my crawl after EA took a three year membership fee from me and never sent me a a refund or even a letter as to why they felt the need to take my money and close down shop

TG I was lucky enough to watch him play for the local A team the Dayton Dragons along with a few others on the team. He keeps getting better

Good report Thanks for sharing

Drunk PIB is located on South Bass Island and is party central on any given weekend during the season, they pack the harbor big time. Actually the islands are a pretty neat place to visit if you ever get the chance but to answer your question on depth to the east of Kelly's Island 40 foot isn't uncommon, between Kelly's and South Bass 30-35 foot, west of South Bass over towards the shipping channel at Toledo is were it get's shallow some reefs top out at 3-5 foot but there's plenty 25-30' of water and a few holes that may get deeper. To find deeper water north of the islands we'll see 40-50 foot depths Besides the spring time when the lake fish are on the reefs we fish water that is anywhere between 25-40 foot most of the time Any other info about the area that you would like to know I'll be more than happy top share
