Well that sucks Harry, especially since you live only minutes (walking distance) away from me.

Just way too cute Simon, the shirt says it all .

Fish Farmer will be bringing this up for me TJ. Frontier 5' 6" Ultra Light I hope somebody will think it the perfect perch rod.

Never, unless it barely and hop water. Don't even get me started on that one, biggest rip off ever!

It's a Joy Division day. Still trying to find the entire version of this clip......

Reel, I don't make reels Brian only rods.

I sure hope so, you're taking the rod up there for me.

Sadly I won't be there but I'm sending up a custom rod for the auction.

Well you don't gotta but he does grow on you, like fungus.... My congrats also David.

That's the way you told it to me Albert.

Oh, silly me or do you mean the other Chris, again silly me.

You'll get no arguments from me on that, slots and winter walleye are a waste of fish.

Wooden Shoes.....

I'm thinking that one come up from 30 plus feet of water.

Would have been a great day with all things prior to that "ham and cheese" Cliff, but that there is the icing on the cake as they say.

Oh come on Wayne, I recognize that tall tree in the upper left corner and the one hidden behind the hut.

Looks like Nipissing to me.

Occasionally it happens in error, icons you can't see can accidentally be clicked on with a scroll wheel mouse while perusing the threads. It happens.

That's way cool John, put a smile on me face indeed. Congratulations to all the family.

Okay, this was one I hope to never repeat. Deep water ice fishing on Georgian Bay for Whitefish. Weather was windy and brutally cold with blowing snow and intermitent squalls. But my buddy and I persisted with our fishing efforts, after all we drove for over 2 hours to get there for a days fishing. After a few moves my buddy connects with the first fish and after a spirited battle a big whitey is flopping on the ice. "Beauty" I says, pumped and ready to nail one for myself. Lines back down and I'm working my bait slow and steady, my buddy pipes up "fish on".....another big whitey on the ice! Now I'm really stoked as I know it's only a matter of time and I'll be connected. Well the story continues in my buddies favour, more whities and a few small lakers, I'm fishless, cold and pissed off! But I persisit. A change of baits and down goes a small light silver spoon into 100 feet of cold Georgian Bay blue. Jig, jig, pause, jig "BAMN" fish on! My spirits lifted, the the chills subside as adrenalin fuels me but something ain't right, it ain't fighting like a whitey nor a laker, I'm thinking big ling but hoping I'm wrong. Coming up steady but without battle, up, up and up, finally the head comes into the hole and I can see my lure tucked firmly into the top jaw of a big ole ling, Bah! Spirit deflated my buddy laughing I haul it onto the ice. That's when it really went sour, my buddy is on the ice howling, I'm just standing there dumbfounded! My spoon as I said is firmly locked into it's upper jaw, it's length would suggest a fish of over 8lbs, but it lays there motionless. Why, because this particular ling has been caught already and had the fillets removed! I had just legally landed a dead filletless fish..... It was to be my only fish of the day.....

Not today.
