I don't own a bag. Plano boxes go straight to the boat's compartments and back to the garage after each trip. On the rare occasion I need to transport them, they go in a duffle bag until I get to where I'm going. I find tackle bags are cumbersome and just another thing to dig through when I'm looking for something. JMHO

Make it 9th...just out of the playoffs. And let's call it the Darwin Award!! Oh wait, that's been taken.

I think there's a lot of room to expand fines before introducing jail sentences. However, having a dividing line between minor and major offenses with jail time for the latter makes sense. Examples: minor - took the skin off a limit of fish. major - illegal/unattended gill nets. One of these is a fine, the other should see jail time. Yes? No?

I used to fish smallies in Orr Lake and there was a decent launch along the north end. It's been 15+ years though and things change...and I forget lol. Not to far from Little Lake to travel.

That was so well done. lol

LMAO!!! Ain't that the truth! Women should be careful just READING his posts!!

Is vertical jigging for lakers a good alternative to deep trolling?

Slick! Don't you love learning one of those tricks that makes the impossible suddenly simple!

This is an outrage! I wonder how many people were ruthlessly stripped of their dignity, civil rights and freedoms?? These power hungry MNR guys must be stopped!! "All told, 13 people were charged by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry during a one-week enforcement blitz back in May."

Fish in the nude...also solves the whole boat distance etiquette issue! I used to love fishing in the rain on smaller lakes. Not so much on the Great lakes though because of the wind.

That's not a bad fish! Good job. You just may have to put a lot of time in and figure out a pattern for consistency.

Well here's my take on it...I used to fish a very similar marsh. It had 5-6 FOW, mud bottom, and lots of great looking cover. The problem was, the combined issues of winter kill, low oxygen levels from decaying mud and weeds, biogas( hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide), too warm and stagnant water and very limited spawning areas, created an situation whereas only a limited number of fish could survive. Since this includes baitfish, that puts yet another limitation on gamefish's survival rates. Small, speedy hammer handles seem to thrive and the small largemouth become targets in place of natural baitfish. My opinion is, your doing everything right, but the area "looks" better than it is. It's a carbon copy to the marsh I fished years ago. Have fun and hey, you never know?

OK, I have questions...what is the average depth of water and what would you say is considered deep for the marsh? Also, is it a black mud bottom everywhere?

Build two 107sq. meter sheds and place them corner to corner. You'll have way more storage, be under the permit reg size and not encroach on the septic bed. Use the area behind them for wood or other outdoor storage.

I'd be frogging that water to death and flipping the cane banks!

I wanted to own and operate a fishing lodge but decided I like fishing too much.

That is the one thing I miss about living up north, it didn't matter how windy it got you could always find a secluded bay to fish. No where to hide on east Erie.

You wouldn't believe how many times it's happened to me on ERIE! I'm talking about +3kms out in 30-40 FOW too. Last weekend it was 3 guys in a Crestliner and they were so close I could listen to their conversation. I fired up the outboard and blasted out of there to another waypoint about 2 kms away. Guess who pulled up 15 mins later? It's a joke...I can't believe guys aren't embarrassed to do that.

They're magnets to the white bucket club.

I was going to give you a big write up but thought, heck it'll be easier if I just tag along Honestly, any plastics, tubes, etc will work great. But because you mentioned cold and clear water, make sure you fish natural colors and use light line. I'd be using 6lb or 8 max flouro leader on 10lb braid. The plastic colors should be smokes, green pumpkin, deep reds/brown or black. I don't know how deep the fish will be but if you throw a spinnerbait, any color as long as it's white. Also, I'd not go without a few jerkbaits to rip back to the boat...just make sure you've got a tube handy when it gets there.

Given the current cap limit, it's reckless, limiting, and exactly what the Leafs will be forced to do with Matthews.

How many bugs per 100kms does the Honda get?

He's probably thinking, "what's that weird creature with one big eye?" Lol Great shot, as always!

All I can say is, look at the attitudes and stupid comments on this thread alone. Makes me wonder why they're as nice as they are.
