Not buying it. I think they were really booing some of those players.

 

 

Ok. The fans paid big bucks to go watch the best players on earth but they hate them all ???

Anyhow, im enjoying the broadcast thus far, are you?

And toews is hilarious???

Oh gawd its not serious.

You hear the crowd for jacob???

Even the crowd gets to have fun(thats why they are there).

Lol. Where I fish on rainy river the chart stops EXACTLY where I like to fish.

Oh well Ive figured it out but a proper chart coulda saved me some time lol.

It is what it is.

This is a good reminder to be careful using navionics on lakes filled with reefs, just in case.

Fish oil would help as well.

Everyone should be taking it anyhow

Hahah awesome Simon.

Im sooo sorry you had to return lol.

Hows the weather in dryden? Its VERY warm here for us in the north. +5 right now lol

 

 

Squash and/or sweet potato soup are thick rich soups perfect for warming you on a winter's day. I've still got a couple dozen squash in the cooler. Time to turn some into a decadent sweet squash casserole with graham crumble crust,

I have to try a yam soup. Please inbox me with advice. Pretty please?

Our kids still play outside all the time, but we dont live in a city or suburban area.

Most their time is spent on road hockey(I still like to join in lol).

Our oldest daughter loves photography and spends alot of time in the bush taking pictures.

Winter is tougher then summer, in the summer I couldn't pay them money to come inside haha.

One thing they do know however is that if your inside your doing chores or helping cook/bake.

They do have tablets and one of those xboxs but its all put away in our room. They get a couple hours a week on them and thats about it.

I see way too many kids these days that are raised by a video game or tv, and thats just sad.

ps. If we had an outdoor rink in our yard I would have a hardtime going to work ???.

as a kid my grandpa used to flood this bush area and all us kids could be found there basically all day when we weren't at school. Nothing teaches you to keep your head up like possibly hitting a tree hahaha

I fish toowaters for bass and pike all the time.

Its very fun!

Weird that you experienced musky guys say muskies often miss the lures???

Pike go nutso if they miss it they often hit it two or three times, so hookups happen almost everytime. Even if they miss cast back out and theyll hit it again lol

I guess pike are just smaller musky with the brain of a bass?

Oh man I do not miss the days of using my manual auger lol.

Replacement blades are available almost any outdoors shop, just make sure you get the right ones.

Keep em sharp man, or thats tough work drillin manually.

Not sure where I heard it but after each outing I used to give my blades a quick shot of wd40 and they stayed really good for a few years. I also babied it so maybe that was it???

Zero issues with alcohol

Many issues with stupidity

 

 

If you mean, MR. BOBBY ORR,he has a long way to go, to prove that SIR.

I didnt say he was Mr Bobby lol, but he sure reminds me of him

I'm usually not one to get overly bent out of shape about our governments crippling fear of offending anyone or any culture, but this one really struck a nerve for me. Homeopathy is not mediicine, and our country's court system has allowed 1 and potentially another child to die of very preventable diseases in the name of 'cultural sensitivity'...I am disgusted beyond words so I'll just re-post what I already put on facebook...

 

"We officially have an epidemic of parents that, after reading a few anti-scientific alternative 'medicine' blogs (i'm using that term very loosely) feel like they are more qualified to make life-altering (or ending) decisions for their childrens health than people that have devoted their entire life to fight and cure VERY treatable diseases, and our spineless government ruled in the parents favour, essentially allowing 1, and maybe 2 ontario children to die of very preventable diseases. I have no doubt they loved their children, but I sincerely hope they are convicted of manslaughter and never procreate again."

 

Okay I'm done, and I need a drink

Pick up a book, instead of that drink.

This thread has ZERO place on this board IMO

There is one thing I could and cant get over, and thats why paint top water lures? They are attacking something thats moving on the surface. They have no idea what it is IMO.

They seems to crush anything very shallow, or deep.

In 6-12fow(roughly) color patterns imerge.

The way you musky anglers talk id expect them to smash a piece of driftwood from 40fow ??? (not directed at you brian)

Karlson is one heck of a player.

Not often you see a dman with that stride and ability to dictate plays on offense.

Hes streaky too though, but id love em on my team.

Hes not on my team lol and that sucks. But man o man he reminds me of paul and bobby.

That kid has serious upside.

Shame he plays on ottawa. Imagine him on detroit????

That is a stress thing Manitou, they get that in the livewell sometimes as well, Kind of neat to see though know what I mean?

I think part of it is also trying to adapt to their surroundings because I have pulled walleye out of the same lake from rock piles and sand bars and you would think one is from Lake Winnipeg and one was from Spanish or something.

 

You guys aren't wrong about them lasting on the stringers though, don't get me wrong! I have also had fish last all day on stringers, however I also agree that once a fish is on the stringer it isn't right to send them back. I think how long they will last it has a lot to do with the water temps, and water colour. I have also found that they last longer in darker stained water than clear and up north in colder lakes they last longer than in warmer ones, In my experience at least.

 

And Joey I think most people have lost a stringer with some fish on it at some point or another, I know I have lol.

Yeah it is cool to see as they get almost a tiger like appearance. Their marking become much more visible.

that being said, does anything prove this is a stress marker?

Is there any biology behind this? I mean thats proven and not just pseudoscience?

Pike or even moreso perch keep their colours much more then walleye.

sauger look awesome after they are caught. Beautiful little fish

Ive had walleye on a stringer for a whole day, much like mike, shore fishing the river and travelling. Almost always the fish are alive when I return home sometimes 13-14 hours later. Like mike I use a long stringer.

Thats pretty tough when ya think about it

When I keep pike they die quickly. If I plan on keeping pike its a selective trip and I get them home quickly.

That aside, I personally would never release a fish off my stringer, just a moral thing really, I dont care what the law states.

Im positive releasing stringered fish is putting that fish at risk.

Just because its alive, or even swims off seemingly fine, does not mean that fish will survive the damage the angler caused.

Also, quick question for mike(since we do a similar thing). Ever notice the quick colour change? When the fish is caught it has its "normal colour". After put on the stringer I notice they get a similar pattern to sauger. Much more visible markings. Once dead the marking are gone all together and the walleye appears "silvery"(think lake winnipeg walleye).

Just curious if this is dependant on waterbody, area, or if its stress markers???

ya and Phaneuf always seems to get aggressive when the leagues light weights are around... I am sure his team mates are impressed with the captain beating up on the likes of Staal and Michalak sends a message alright!!

So they wear even prettier panties then phaneuf???

Hahaahha whatever. They make millions to play in a physical league were getting punched comes with the job.

I do not pitty any of them

Oh gawd it hockey. I dislike phanuef but if you need a spark you can fight whoever is there.

If kessel gets his rump kicked id be all for it

Has anybody here played hockey????

You have two scenarios

1. Two known fighters mutually agree to drop gloves

2. Your heated and fight whomever you can grab

Nobody is untouchable no matter what you armchair warriors opinion.

And yes, in hockey ive been on both ends.

And nobody gives a crap but the fans and anylists. I could care less I got beat or won a fight

(My grammar says Ive lost more then I won???)

Yeah im sure thats what he meant

I did see somewhere that you can now get weighted clips to vertically fish crank baits through the ice. That would be pretty cool if it worked good.

Maybe in an In Fisherman or something?

Welcome to OFC!!!

Nice haul and good work on the red green thinger mer bobber?

Thats pretty awesome!

Looking good so far. The last thread eventually morphed into "Novel ways to Induce Retching"!

Haha yeah that's why I started a new one ???
