Beans

The one I caught in Frenchman's Bay near the little bridge in open water was a more greenier color...The ling I ate was from Lady Simcoe... I was told it was like poor man's lobster so I gave it a try...can't remember if I cooked it or my first wife R.I.P.

Many moons ago, ice fishing on Lake Simcoe most people left them on the ice for the farmer that raised mink in the area...I only tried eating one once...was like chewing on rubber...LOL

Just as I never knew Crappie were called Crappie until I saw a picture in a magazine...We were told they were Calico Bass...Bowfin we were told were Dogfish or Burbot or Ling...

And I defy you to find a bone after CPH has cleaned them !!!

Sorry to hear this Cliff...I know you and young Cliff had a lot of fun...If it was just storage you needed ...I got a large back yard !

I know what you mean Lew...One year after we moved up here, all 10 poplar trees out back died (only good for 30 years)(planted in '72) As they were the cylindrical type I watched as they felled each and every one... Those 2 guys could drop a tree on a dime...for an extra hundred dollars they cut them up into 15" logs which a neighbor and I then split up into firewood with his splitter...

We were heading down Curve Lake Road when it hit...Like driving in a river...It ended as we pulled in for gas so luckily no one got drenched doing the pumping thing...LOL

Most days gas is 20-25 cents a liter cheaper than in Bobcaygeon and like Lew I am about 23 kilometers away so it is worth driving there and back to save... Any time we have a reason to have to go to Buckhorn or Lakefield or Peterboro we fill up at Curve Lake even if it is only 1/4 tanks worth...

Thanks guys...She is taking me to Just for the Halibut for dinner (her favorite diner) LOL

Geeze Lew...Wadda you gonna do when you get as old as me...LOL

Saw a pick-up truck and a hut out on Chemong Lake (North of the causeway) on our way down to P"Boro yesterday...Guess they got lots also...

Yep Brian...I keep telling the wife,,,"Don't get old...It hurts too much !

7 1/2 inches black ice off Gilford according to Cooks Bay ice huts on Saturday 15 Jan 2022

I figure it is worth the extra few klms to drive to Curve Lake for $1.249 rather than pay $1.449 in Bobcaygeon...it must be about the same distance for you Lew...especially if you need to go down to Lakefield or P'Boro...

Even if he is the one driving ???

Just playing forward for all the stuff you have done for us over the years...or is it playing back !

Hey Cliff...My step-son who is staying with us for a few weeks would be glad to help...I myself am lucky to drive as far as Lindsay/P"tboro and back without experiencing back pain but he is much younger (60) than I (most people are)....As he has a license but no car do you want us to drive him to Lindsay or will you pick him up here ?...I take it is a there and back trip...? He has to be back here to drive MB to Oshawa on Friday...

I should have asked...How soon as possible?...

When do you need someone Cliff?

WTG Misfish !!!...My gang will be here on the 17th to rent a pontoon and try for some bass or whatever

Looks like a "Lazy Ike" on the end of the line...at first thought "Flatfish" but only see one treble on the bottom not two on a wire ...

Life is funny Lew...People come our way to vacation and we head up north...

You are one up on me....our hair lady is booked for three months...I am too old to call it hockey hair...
