Hey Dawg...I found your cake...!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Mike... Hey Brian...as Roy would say " Why not Bernies on Oxford St...LOL"

Happy Belated Birthday Joe !!!

Many Happy returns my friend...Dang Dawg...You're catching up to me pretty quick... HEY...Where's the cake...I can't find the cake... I likes CAKE !...

Add pickerel (walleye) to the list of closed species also as of 15 th March...Pike open till 31 st March... Just leaves perch and crappie...note the daily limits on both...50 and 30 respectively

LOL I don't see our pal Brit Steve in the pics...Maybe he is out in his little dinghy chumming corn...

Hey...That's my side he whacked... The nerve...the unmittigated gall...Damn...

You're ok Rizzo...Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...lots of fish prettier than carp and a hellofa lot uglier...

WOW !!!...Nice fish Bly...

WELL !!! ... I'll be damned !!!... Wasn't on the puter after supper yesterday due to running all over Lindsay while picking out an outfit for Maribeth to wear to a wedding on Sunday...so, this is the first I heard about your mishap... Sorry, but I'm damn glad to hear you are ok...If you need me for anything, give me a shout...

Being somewhat knowledgable of addictions (smoking, booze, fast women and slow horses) I have to say yes, OFC is an addiction... It's not all bad though...I joined in the summer of 2002 and since have met a bunch of swell people...some at meet and greets, some on fishing trips, some at my home and some at theirs and a lot of others just on-line who I hope to meet face-to-face someday... How much time do I spend here?...Probably too much...Does the Betty Ford Clinic have a program for OFC addiction ???

How cum it is always the guys with just a few posts under their belt are the ones that want separate forums for each subject ? I go on various boards that do just that and rarely read any more than one forum... Spiel said it best...don't like the subject don't read the thread... When out fishing, my friends and I discuss many things besides fishing...no different here... After you have a couple thousand posts under your belt come back and see if you still feel the same...those oldtimers know what they are talking about (most of the time)...

Crappie fishing on opening day at the Kawarthas... Beans, Motv8tr and Nanook 26 April 2008 this year !

Snow ??? Wachu talkin' 'bout Willis ??? This is the view out my front window right now with more coming... This is the view I like to see... (sigh)

Thanks for the report Dawg !... Seven weeks from tomorrow and we will be chasing some of those crappies too... The storm is picking up speed now...actually started a couple of hours ago but nothing serious 'till now...better go out to the garage and spray some no-stickum on the blower for the morning... Cheers !!!

Shelley...You're the queen of the Whitefish !!! I hope the expected snow doesn't make travelling too bad out on the lake for next week...a lot of peoples will be disappointed...

caught a perfect size leopard frog out in the backyard 5 years ago but when it came time to stick a hook in it's leg, I couldn't do it... Getting soft in my old age...

Way to go Paul and Joey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew youz could do it...You were only practising long distant C&R last Sunday...Right ?

Don't know the name of the street but it is on the mainland side and runs along the inner harbour... My bro-in-law and myself found a pawn shop with lots of rods a reels at reasonable prices... We had already bought a couple of outfits at Wally-Mart and were kicking ourselves that we hadn't discovered this place first... Either way we saved the $5.25 rental fee every day we used them...6 days and they paid for themselves... The Fishing Hole was a great bait and tackle store...used filleting knives for $2.00

Looks like it would be great for guys like me with arthritic thumbs... Unrolled a rim last Saturday with difficulty then they said "Try Again"...thanks a helluva much...

"cold-ass-turkey all the way...that's the way I did it too" Me too...but it sure wasn't easy...much harder than giving up the booze...but it was simple...just quit putting them in my mouth and the cravings got further and further apart...now the smell of them has become an aversion... So congratulations on a year...I admire anyone that quits no matter what method they use...My wife used the patch...my oldest son used hypnotism...whatever it takes...just do it ! I like the ad they have out now where the doctor sez..."Nope...we can't operate" He could have been referring to Maribeth if she hadn't quit about a year before a major operation...

I edited my reply on page one to include Crazyhook...LOL Guess my eyesight is going in my old age...

I see a few OFNers in the carp categorie...Photoz, Uncle Buck, Ccmt, Blyght, Crazyhook... Goran is making good use of his new carp equipment...

Sad news for sure... Another storm to weather but with our prayers and thoughts maybe all will be well again soon...

Had you have walked...you might just be arriving now...we were WAY...WAY...OUT !!!...I was expecting to go through the Narrows at any moment... Only the odd fish caught...lots of peoples trying but most came up empty... That first photo is calendar worthy !!!
