tehe 2 eh sounds like ur good for the season..all the more for me

the lake I was referring to was balsam most the anglers moved on to pigeon , rice,sturgeon slot was on balsam before rest of kawarthas...the balsam walleye are back but not the anglers...they not liking balsam slots and limits ok with me have lots of fun catching fish not filleting them

like to say the meatheads out of my way on my way to walleye ville think i'll just wait them out go after the opening rush

I see it as a overall problem in Ontario it will catch up with us all eventually but still believe stocking not the answer

TOTAL LACK OF EDUCATION COMBINED WITH NO COMMON SENSE

daylight hrs big factor in bass nesting pretty sure you'll not find them nesting fish have been known to spawn under the ice

fished the kawarthas for many yrs have watched stocks dwindle with slot sizes and reduced numbers to keep have seen lakes start to bounce back.. the first lakes to show an increase in stocks where the lakes that had slots introduced early its not the slots that helped imo its the fact that people no longer fished those lakes because of size limits therefore slow the harvest and you'll increase the populations

stocking not the answer imo look at the whole picture...the oceans for example...tell me its not overfishing that's the problem the more u put in the more they will take in Ontario lakes

I think not quite ready I know a guy who has some special jigs being made...lol

have fished that basin for years had a previous owner call police on me for fishing boat slips police informed marina that water was not owned and unless I caused damage to property then I had a legal right to fish there

no sense..in trying to tell people the facts.. no matter slots limits etc.. if you don"t have the means to police the laws then what does it matter.. we are talking small areas lakes etc.. i use the NFLD fisheries as an example of whats to come..NO COD FISHERY!. could not police the non canadian vessels so newfoundlanders had a lively hood taken away.. IMO.. a total stop on keeping fish is the answer to your problem..

spend alot of time jerking spoons on steel...have found on most lakes in the minden/haliburton area most our big fish come off flats 20-30 feet water...lots of nimbers in 30-50 feet but usually smaller here it a experment for you....big fat salty tubes white/pearl dragged and jigged...might be surprised how many you catch and how big..well done go gettem

still quite few lake trout..fish it cpl times a yr with steel line.. trouble is catching the 1's you can keep...slot sizes..smallies are plentiful..

take it from someone with a neck broke in 2 locations...do NOT tow a tube behind a bass boat..the speed it takes to plane a bassboat can be way too much for a tube speeds reached when turning easily lauches a tube coming off at those speeds cause major injuries no more than 20 mph is recommend... sorry if i sound against it.....i'm not ..but pls be careful..

excellent report...wish i had such luck...go get em boys..i'll be out at daylight going to try shane's special..and check on other locals see if they are on there. kind of running low cliff..know where to get specials..lol

they not nessary work with weight distribution prop pitch and size make sure motor is at right height

yes u are correct as good as any

rice..here i come

my boat does the same thing.. i move weight back..when alone i fill the back livewell with water took porpoise away

don't know why they do this seen it sat. with big musky looked like he was eating flies off the surface..mouth wide open whole head and part of body out of water

went out in my own boat 1st trip sat. sited 5 muskies no takers ran into big cliff.. he had cpl eyes toured various areas lake...lost a few went back to 1st spot around 1pm the bite was on..10 min 3 walleye landed.. lost 3more....all over slot size 21" + a good day out !

couchiching has some big fish

i challenge all those skeptic to get out to a live release tourn... educate yourselves..see the care taken by most anglers and tournament officials to assure the fish get back in the water alive live release organizations are those looking out for the future of our fisheries imagine NO fish left if you keep all you catch and more...dont beliieve? then why the keep limits less and a slot size to boot..this don't come about from people letting them go!

people post pics "found this online" you got facts you member p3ta or where you there when showed baby seal being clubbed not sure what to think of these people they save animals only to put them all down secretly

whoa!!!!!!!! if this indeed is tourn. pics yes sad fish gone to waste NOT assured they would be cleaned shared amoungst volunteers PROOF PLS...have seen pics like this through ssfc and mnr seizures and netting programs for teaching programs
