Yes and yes. Every year, someone catches a 15lber from that lake. The walleye there are real thick and clean. It can be tough fishing, but that applies to any new lake.

hahaha, give her an inch and she wants a mile. I making walleye a la alfredo tonight. It's just walleye meat in alfredo sauce.

I've never heard/seen that version. Have you heard the "new" Blind Melon, sans Shannon? I thought it was a great album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJAw8BuYgwg

My sentiments, exactly! This is the winter of Bizzaro Simon

x2 Definitly Orwellian. Did you do your excersises today? The more they try to pass crap like this, the more I want to remove myself from society. Bush-man is starting to sound like a valid option for my future.

These days kids are bad? Teenagers and thieves are not a new phenomenon. Adults do some pretty dumb stuff too... Ask a police officer. I'm not defending the people who stole said portable, but c'mon, leaving a portable shack overnight in a high traffic area is just asking for trouble. Years ago I left my tackle unattended at a quiet shore spot and it was gone the next day. My parents said : then stop leaving your stuff behind.

Why would anyone leave a portable shack unattended overnight? I'd be embarassed to report that one

Looks like you guys had a good time! It's funny to see you guys skating with sticks, but no pucks. How'd he like the hockey skates?

Your level head and good attitude are a reflection of the values your Father has instilled in you. From what you describe, it sounds like he was the best Dad a guy can have. That is something to be very proud of! I had a great time talking with you and your Dad. I could tell right away that you are both great people in aloving family. My heart goes out to your Mother and you, Alex. If you ever feel like schooling us "old" guys on Nipissing again, your know who to contact.

Bell and Rogers have it pretty nice in Canada. This will bite us in the end. Owning the Leafs is just another way of ensuring these companys are protected by the gov and taxpayer money. What a joke ... They're commercials make me livid too, completely targetted to idiots... Created by idiots. End rant.

Thanks for the great replies guys! Simon: I agree, overall guys are doing well this year. This is great for the tourist industry here...thin ice down south and good walleye on Nipissing. My goal for Nipissing every winter is to catch at least a couple 5+ lbs walleye. Even with a slow start (due to ice conditions) I think I might reach my goal again this year!

Holy cow! Quinte sure is producer of huge walleye

This report was the perfect monday morning companion to my Cinamon Toast crunch. Thanks for sharing... And NICE laker.

That's pretty brave for someone who claims he's not brave on the ice. How did Barb feel about you doing that? Haha Sounds like a great time though, you got some good eats there!

I woke up at 5am this morning. For no reason.... I just, woke up. The gf was sound asleep, I turned a few times, checked OFC and my thoughts were strong with Tony's family. After 30 minutes of sleeplessness, I gave up trying and quickly packed all my fishing gear and a half-assed sorry excuse for a lunch. 2 tuna cans, a pot of tea, a banana and one smoked herring. I arrived at my spot at 630 and watched the sun come up as I jigged my silver Worek spoon in 30 fow. At 730, the fish woke up and began nibbling. A few perch and keeper sized walleye were iced and the action just got better from there. By 830 I had 10 walleye, a herring and several perch. At 845 I missed a big fish. At 9, my line went limp as something took a good swing at my Worek. I set the hook and knew I have a big fish. Maybe a ling. As the fish approaches my 4"hole, things got dicey.... I though for sure I'd need some lube to get it through but I manage to softly pull it out. HUGE WALLEYE! I didn't measure it but I'm guess 25" and 6 or 7lbs. My biggest ever on Nipissing. Two quick photos and away she swam. Once my Dad got wind of the good fishing, he rushed to the lake with some fresh minnows. We ended up icing over 50 perch another herring and another 10 walleye. Suprisingly, the evening fishing was slow, with only one keeper walleye caught by my buddy who showed up later in the day. The sun set and I dragged my tired butt home. Lots of cleaning ahead for this hombre. Goodnight Nipissing.

Great sight! Love the coton candy clouds

I guess everyone in Montreal picked the right god to pray to. Haha.

That is terrible!! My sincerest condolences to his family.

Tough fishing the past few days. The sharp weather changes must have an effect. I was off the lake 300pm, one huge herring, one walleye and several perch. Did you guys remain skunked?

I don't really care if someone chooses to blurr the background. But I do get a chuckle out of it when the foreground is a mediocre sized fish. I definitly won't "avoid" the report like some of you chaps are suggesting... I'm just not that passionate about the issue.

Good one Dan. Nice dark-hued fish there. That would be my PB as well, had I caught it!

I'm excited just to watch that game on TV. Box seats is going to make for a fantastic Saturday night!

That is one heck of an "old man" laker.

As if they don't condone another NHL team near the GTA. The fan base there is ridiculously huge.

Ugh, no offense, but that tankhouse ale was enough to put me in the outhouse. It's almost as bad as Red Racer Pale Ale...
