snag

You're so sweet. I'll stop by with a care package next week. (could turn into a report in a few months too!)

Buck Rogers approved! Thanks!

Not good when I was there 2 days ago

I agree

It was ridiculous. People laughed at me. The wind was still 80m/hr. & cold I kept throwing the anchor hoping to feel a metallic "clunk" and then pray that the points would snag something on the bike. The funny thing is that that bike was from the garbage originally. Tempting to leave it at the bottom, likely beside some shopping carts and plastic chairs. The hardest part was trying to explain to my wife why I had a brand new anchor and wet rope in my car. Oddly, she never asked again and has been very nice to me? Almost......fearful.

Agreed, Yet, a closer look may reveal a happier side of mean kitty......

Alo' Anglers, Been busy lately. Ice cover and the high winds have made water availability/visibility poor. Tragedies have plagued me and I thought of taking a break till spring with all my bad luck. The worst is that my reliable 2mp camera has been lost. I left it behind after catching some respectable esox a couple weeks ago. Life goes on. I believe my run of bad luck was from finding this hideous thing Creepy shore doll = Mean kitty= curse Let me explain, It was windy(90 mile/hr.) and my bike got blown into 30' of water. I went and bought an anchor. came back the next day, trolled for 20 min. and she came back. Some tourist thought I had lobster traps in Toronto harbour! LOL Bike coming up from the depths. It was bloody embarrassing Then my cell phone falls into the water later that day. (this pic is 3 days later) I go buy a net an dredge the bottom the next day with no hope in my heart. Suprise! I scoop it up after 1/2 hour! Let it dry for a few days and it still works!! Pike pics below Suprise pike in new area Lunch pike Poor pic pike Fatty with a great fight Became foul hooked so No glory pic to follow This guy was weak and skinny. If he was human, he'd be in the back of a comic book with sand being kicked in his face by a beach bully. or not. I don't think he'll last the winter Next day Yesterday Fight is on Don't be jealous car lovers. My new sweeeeeeet ride! (if I didn't wear high heels, I would never be able to climb in) New lure holder Now get back to work. S.

I'm still dating Bellinda, As a dominatrix, she's second to none.

Licky pits, Nice one. I hear they put corotene in the tap water to enhance tanning success. Good to see you didn't involuntarily donate a kidney whilst changing your name to corona. Tu gusta pescar eh? Mi gusta nadar & pescar. Did you see the Dorado? Ah, Holidays in the sun Cheers,

I'd jump for the adidas shorts!

Groovy brother!

Classic!

I'll bet he's topless in his next report "Ooooooooo the nasty tornado ripped my shirt off!!"

Then I've probably met your folks a few times. Nice people, glad to hear they escaped the flood.

One of my favourite places. Hope the LCBO is not too soggy. Did the grocery store across the street survive? They were kinda elevated. Best to head north to Larry's for a drink and avoid that soup!

Nice family outing! The roots of the silver x-mas tree must provide good structure.

That was great. Thanks

That's awesome! Did they call you or vice versa? Very nice. Joey, Make that a tatoo S.

Not sure if I want to fish near you! congrats!

There will be ice in your Pina' Colada. Don't choke on the umbrella, fella.

Your criticism is always appreciated. You still cling onto our tragic past. You've never fogiven me since I left you standing at the alter. I'm so over you.

Thanks Joey, I noticed that you were immortalized on the Fishingfury website too! Here it is: Joey icing a carp You're such a star these days, can you autograph my rod?

Hi Everyone, This thread is a long overdue "thanks" to Clive (aka-Mepps or "the nine-fingered tickler) Most of the pics below I haven't posted yet and there's more to come. I first met Clive almost 2 years ago. We were on a trip to the Bog with FHR, he traded some of his homemade spinners for gas money. Seemed fair at the time (but the lures out paid themselves!!) I didn't use his lures much until this year when they seemed to be outrageously hot when all other lures were not. I quickly gained confidence in them, and then they were gone.............(lost in action) Anyone who thinks that homemade lures are inferior is misinformed. There is a definite science to the materials and weight distribution that Clive incorporates into his spinners I shunned store bought ones convinced that Clive's were superior. I caved and bought many different varieties only to be disappointed. Clive went out of his way to make 3 more beauties and sent them off to me just before he moved out East and just after becoming a new papa. Being a new Dad, I greatly appreciated the kind gesture. Here are some samples: Clives designs Here is how to make them in a boat in the middle of nowhere: Go to video at bottom of the page This thread is a thanks, However, I suck. Out of the 3 new spinners, I managed to lose 2 lures within a week; with fish on. One musky (snap my line) and one bass (cut line on rock/zebra mussel). I didn't get a chance to take pics of these great lures. The Chartreuse with red tail was fantastic and I did manage a video where FishingFury is humbly credited for catching a very nice smallie. Here are some pics: Here is one of the originals: Weedless gallery Some of you were curious how it turned out. I now ALWAYS carry a weedless spinner! I had a hard time finding the weedless trebles size 1-3 These next shots are all with weedless trebles. I was very surprised at how well walleye, bass and perch (!) were able to grab the hook. Here is a poor pic of a newer one with the weedless treble I attached. Here is that weedless treble with a largemouth bass modeling: One of the biggest I've caught. Not a great pic. I'm hold it as close to my body as I can, but the camera is facing up. I thought it was a small musky when it hit. 4.5-5lb easy I have by thumb in the "Lucid" position. This was fun I was told that there were no pike in this lake. So I went out on a rainy day and.... This walleye pic looks photoshopped but it's still my crappy 2.1 mp camera! This perch was the biggest suprise to be caught on a large, weedless spinner! Non-Weedless. Oddly, I couldn't hook a musky on the weedless?????? YET! I had follows with the poor musky snapping at it (boat side) and it just slid out of their mouths. 3 times!! So I switched back. Here is a musky caught on the bloody, wide-gap hook Clive provided Local pike Local Smallie Another pike I know I have more fish pics thanks to your spinners that I can post; but I have some bidness to attend too (Diapers amigo!?) Say "Hi" to Gillian and Ashen Thanks again Clive, Yo Da' man! Cheers, S.

Amazing! The birth shot is hilarious! The carp looks bewildered. Well done!

Hey Rick, Sorry to hear about your pal. We've spent the same on our beloved pet too. You made the right decision.
