Hey, not bad at all. Second one is best imo

Schooled indeed. Nice fish Cosmos!

I've been drinking Granville Island Winter Ale... it's a hearty beer with lots of flavour, and seems fitting for the season. Tradition at the Caster house is hot apple cider with cinnamon sticks

Some of the outfitters are predicting that ice will be good for Jan 1st. Weather forecast seems to concur with them.

Maybe a fluted type or a french blade. Or if you go with a colorado or indian style, try to get a heavier gauge metal; it'll add weight for the drop, but keep the resistance.

Nice pick! One of my favorite REM songs. I used to put that song on repeat when I was 15 or 16. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SDyB2TrWl4 Best band going!; with lots of material to listen to.

The north bay yokels would prefer parking for free on the ice anyway haha. Would that even be an option for Simcoe?

Haha, it was directed at you too

Sweet. What kind of beer do you have on tap? haha

Sweet, sounds like there is some interest. Hopefully Alex logs back in soon haha. Its probably best for the simcoe-local-yokels to figure out where to go/park/fish

Any interest in still setting this up Alex? Will Simcoe even get safe ice this year?

You got that right. I have many brookie spots in mind. You know it Rick! Someday I'll take you up on that offer. Hahahaha. Does that mean I would have to listen to Skrillex too? Once Nip locks up, we'll be hooking up more often for sure. hahaha. ..that means I must have captured the moment! I had to remind her that canoes float. Yes, that was a great meeting. I'm glad I took a lot of photos. Thanks for all comments!

If this is all true, I've completely wasted my last day... At least I got my year-end post in! Haha.

Nip is #1 on my list, I love fishing that big 'ol gal. Also I have a bunch of small lakes I'd like to ice fish in my area. I'm still looking for my first big laker so that's also on my list. Last but not least, fish Simcoe with some members here

Pm sent

Bill would call it an Atlantic

Hmm, sounds like it might be one size too large for me. I'm 160 and don't want it bulky at all. Sounds like a good deal though

Would it fit someone 5'10 and thin build?

Oh dang! Sorry, I didn't realize you were talking about the pics in my post.. I thought you meat the jigerr photos. I made my photobucket accnt private... Didn't think about the effect it would have on my fishing reports. Changing now...

Hilarious, I'm printing this and putting it at the top of my tree. The Wife is gonna LOOOOVE it

The breakfast bandits!! Lock up your chicken coops and bakeries.... I sense they are about to build the worlds largest french toast

awesome fall report as usual, Chris! Not even a hint of snow out there

Haha, don't worry, there will be more to come! They were a little too showy for a fishing report
