Mike the Pike

Yes there pretty ugly uniforms considering we invented the game of hockey you would think we would have stuck to our traditonal red uniforms.I wonder who decided this the world federation of hockey.Whats next black sweaters for the Olympics. Go Canada Win!

We don't have a BPS here but I have had the pleasure of shopping there what I liked was the enormous selection of lures and gadgets that I would have never found elsewhere. I give most of my business to the little guys I like tthe personalized service and sometimes the sales guys will let me in on some fishing spots.We have Le Baron .and Baron sports would we our bigger stores.We are supposed to be getting a Cabella's this spring. I would'nt drive around and waste five bucks of gas to save 2$ on an item.I like service thats what counts for me.

Snag some of these lures may help you best of luck.I am jealous of you.Mike

Well glen good for you at least you did'nt get skunked.2 weekends in arow for me skunked both times. Merry Christmas and take care of your Pop.Mike

Dave I am impressed that after all those years you managed to retain some french.And you wrote it very well.As for me I can speak it well but to write french thats pretty hard.If you come back to Quebec speaking french like that the woman will be after you Dave. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for a great year of walleye reports.Mike

Well I gave it one more go from shore today with my friend Mike.We tried for some steel heads and browns it just was not our day today.Another beautiful day not too cold.We tried worms lures spoons the whole works but the fishies were hanging out with St.Nick. The outting started last night with 25 minutes to catch some(8) dew worms.Lets just say Rich from Dover inspired me to get out there.Could not buy worms anywhere. The drive too the fishing hole. Montreal from Far away. The hot spot that was not.Not Today .Next were movin on. My friend Mike who invited me to fish this area . Yes I am tryin but I am not cryin. I am still wishing.Break time.Next spot. Another hotspot that let us down.Next. Another spot but no trout.Gotta keep movin. I just got stopped by a couple taking a walk and they asked if they could take my picture.i asked them to take one with mine.Next fishing spot coming up. the day is coming to an end. Thats it I have to call it a day after all it is Christmas Eve. Mike and I did not catch anything but we did have a great day. With weather like this I will be back at it soon. To all you Great OFC people.Merry Christmas. Mike the Pike............(Skunked)

Merry Christmas to you and your family and the many OFC er family.Mike Hamilton

Well I just came in from the worm hunt +6 degrees here in Montreal. I managed too scoop up 8 juicy crawlers in about 25 minutes.Its alot harder to spot them when the front lawn is mostly brown.2 teenagers walked by my front lawn as I was picking up the crawlers .Boy did they ever think I had some lose screws 'I could here them laughing at me all the way down the street. Some one pinch me or slap me.December 23rd and I just gathered some worms.Going for some trout in the morning.Yes there is something wrong with me I have fishing disease. I will let you all know how the fishin goes.Mike

Congrats to a healthy new baby.I nice way to bring in Christmas what wonderful timing for Dad. Mike

Great report I wish we were able to do the same .How far north are you guys fishing?Well I think I will survive until I get some ice.Going to try for browns and rainbows on sunday.This report is going to get our friend Tracker excited I bet he would love to know the secret location. Need a fishing fix!!!!! Mike the Pike

Congrats on the great year Terry.Thanks for the great pics.Mike

Great report you caught a few fish ate and slept well and now a little bit of fish to fry at home and you went home relaxed and rested .Good for you Man .Mike

Yup your alone,My wife wants nothing to do with fishing she loves to eat the fish but it does not go any farther.She has bought me many fishing items on my list.Yup she spoils me.Time to have a serious talk with your wife or you should stop buying what she likes .Plan C would be to show her this thread when its done.Good Luck Mike

Snag don't give up on Quinte.You will hit the right day.I have been skunked there before 4 days in a row in october not even a perch.2 full days in winter again skunked.Its going to happen hang in their you will be posting the big ones soon.Thats fishing in the BOQ when walleyes decide to shutdown its reality.Good luck on the next trip.Mike

Yup they work well. on two ice fishing trips with my buddies we retrieved a Rapala filet knife and a pair of pliers of course it was easy for us we could see the botton from the inside of the shack the items were 20ft down and the horseshoe magnet was about 5 inches be 4 inches.We also caught about 20 steelheads

Terry I think your going to have to trade the 4 wheeler in for a boat .Were not trying to piss you off we are all being honest its reality .Could always drive to James Bay they may have ice there or maybe not.Denver sounds pretty wintery.

I am going to try sunday for some rainbows and browns.No fishin xmas day but Christmas eve I 'll take it.The waiders are coming out of storage LOL.I am not going to sleep until sunday night.Mike

I think five will do a nice job but a 9.9 would be better.Go with a four stroke so you can run off your main gas tank this way you will not require an extra tank on board.I am running an 8hp kicker with an 18 foot Lund SSV which is plenty because my boat is quite a bit lighter than an explorer.The reason I would go bigger just in case you have a breakdown or worse you severily damage the prop on your motor.A larger kicker will allow you a little more push in choppy conditions if ever needed to get you back to shore.I manage about 8mph with the kicker wide open.You never know when you will need the extra hp.I notice a my boat will slow down about 3 to 4 mph with the kicker on board but I have a 50hp.The added weight of a 9.9 won't be noticed when your main motor is 115hp.Good luck with your purchase Mike.

Good Luck.

Congrats on your first trout a heavy one for a first.I hope he tastes good because he sure looks like road kill.

Lets all go to Disney World for some Bass fishin.

The good thing with you is if you put a hole in her your all equipped to fix it rivets aluminium etc.....its going to be a long winter if mother nature can't decide what to give us .Maybe we will have to go to Denver for some ice fishing 60cm of snow.

Well for me I missed out on some of the great threads some of you spoke about. For me is when Dano lost his lovely lady avatar. Terry and his amazing computer skills made me laugh when he censored those wiggly things with his white banner written censored.LOL
