Maybe we should start a contest here with a prize/reward for information that leads to a conviction? Someone has to know these guys?

Congrats Doug! Can't wait for the reports. Kinda suprised you didn't fly by rocket though??

Quite the intro!

It's a human lure. Genius.

Crazy, That was awesome! Almost doesn't seem real. Thanks!

I love old photos. Like vinyl, they sometimes have more character. Looked like a great trip Thanks

This poor little guy looks evil/terrestrial too.

Touche' My pike have "Smart Cars" in the background. Yours have Mercedes SUV and soccer moms late for a manicure. Either way, we are hardcore

Don't you jus' shoot the bones out and cook 'em on the smokin' barrel?

Hope you didn't wake the neighbours with crying snotties. Crap, Thought I was urban..........

ALWAYS USE A LEADER FOR ESOX I can't understand anything otherwise. I am a fan of all topwater lures and the best way to figure it out is to simply attach various leaders to your lure and drop it in water. Making your own 80lb. floro leader allows you to play with the length so that you can maximize the lures action. Make sure the hardware (swivel,leader and crimps) are not to heavy as well. Even if your leader is only 3" long, it's better than nothing. Don't use small topwater lures either. Go medium to large. Pike eat ducks. Good luck

Nice net too!

That was awesome. Actually, the picture quality reminds me of all my camping pics from the 70's. Thanks

Absolutely unbelievable. I thought you would have some of the first big ice reports! How much further will you have to fly?

It's brutal! I got it from either work, or my wife and son, about a week ago after they had it for two weeks. I think I've re-infected everyone again! they'll all sick today! Nuts!

The lake I mentioned is fed by spring so there's no other efficient source of importing populations. Having fished this spot for some time, I have become very aware of it's cycles and sensitivity. It is one of my best kept secrets. Sadly, I know that with todays technology, it will be found and fished. I can't see how it will survive any pressure. So that is why I think a day or 2, like Terry, counts. p.s. I also tend to use very heavy line so that I don't lose a fish or let it die with a lure in it's mouth.

Ok Bring rod or gun? Terry, I was wondering the same thing. I've always found them to be plentiful. However, without reading any of the research, I still have my reservations...... I fish a small, deep pond/lake that would be devistated with a change like this.

Sure man, This season we'll hook-up!

Dirk Diggler Is still fighting to have his name on his line of jerk bait.

Well, I was going to this year. I saw loads of them in the spring but never got around to it. Definately this year. How did you do this year there?

Yeah, I figured that. Can't get anything past this crowd. Hey Mods, you know who you are, can you delete this? I couldn't figure it out. Thanks (probably better some people show up late to fish in the season anyways!)

(HI, THIS THREAD WAS STALE, SO PLEASE SEE THE NEW MUTATED THREAD POSTS/REPLIES BELOW:) From the Osprey Jan.2, 2007 "Bass fishing season has been extended by one week as part of upcoming changes to provincial regulations. Effective Jan. 1, 2007, opening day for bass fishing moves up to the fourth Saturday in June from the last Saturday of that month. This year, that means anglers can wet their lines for the popular sport fish on June 23, instead of June 30." Several more changes to Ontario fishing regulations, as part of a new ecological framework for fisheries management, still require federal approval. The upcoming changes will mean fisheries are managed on the basis of a zone rather than by individual lakes, based on ecological and social factors. The number of fishing divisions will be reduced to 20 from 37. There are about 26 lakes in proposed Zone 17, which includes most of the City of Kawartha Lakes (formerly Division 6) as well as parts of Durham Region, Peterborough and Northumberland counties. In November, the government asked anglers to continue following the 2005-2006 fishing regulations until the changes are approved and the 2007-2008 rules are released.

My new winter home, sweet!

Thanks Cliff, This one is a doozie. Hey, I wanted to add that if you look at the lure I'm using, it is really designed for what you are famous for. Hmmmmmmmm

Oh mu God, Our vulcan "mind-meld" worked!
