No problem on the link Rich. I love those Action Angling adventures. Thanks for making them!!! My fave is the Otonabee episode. All hail BigMuskyRich Looking forward to new ones too bud.

Yep, there are three main ponds. The place is highly pressured. It's okay if you want to go catch a couple panfish,but not much more. BigBassRich would be the authority there I believe. I think if you go to Action Angling he did an episode from there. I found it, here's the link http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-75...00&hl=en-CA . Always entertaining!

Sadly I think everyone has lost someone they love to cancer. Thanks for your support Dave. It looks good for everyone that sponsors you and Facts Of Fishing too. You're a class act buddy.

Maybe on one of those bucktails in your signature. Let's see..... hmmm....... you could call it the "GbayGiant"!

Holy crap. That's a fish of a lifetime. I guess I better start fishing for walleye. I guess that muskie was in fishing for walleye himself .

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!! Thanks for posting. Man,I am so jealous. Beautiful pics. Looks like you guys had a ball. Well deserved by the sounds of it. Enjoying the fruits of your labour. Great report!

Just got a reply from vanillagorilla (seller) and he confirms GbayGiants Cobb Gliders and apparently the bucktail is called a Spinda Spinner. I guess that only leaves the topwater with the prop on the rear unidentified.

Here's a look at the whole buctail Crusty (I cut it off in the pic last time) and a measuring tape for scale. Also a litle better pic I hope (daytime).

Let's try that pic again. Sorry guys.Also to give you an idea of the size of the baits the smaller ones are approx. six inches and the bigger one is twelve inches. Thanks.

Just got these today. Bought them from an OFC'er (vanillagorilla). Can anyone name them all (or any). Not that it's important (well,not life or death anyway LOL),but I'd llike to know what they are when somebody asks. Thanks guys.

I think the real problems with the Leafs IS the fans. The fans who won't let them suck. Think about it,all the teams that are good right now SUCKED for quite a while. Take Atlanta and Ottawa as examples. They sucked for a LONG time. They got high draft picks and most importantly let them develop . There were no immediate expectations placed on these teams and they let the young guns mature at their own pace. I'm not saying you can duplicate these conditions completely,but stop selling the farm (literally) for instant gratification. A great example is the pickup of Raycroft for Tuuka Rask. Don't get me wrong we needed Raycroft, but give up some of the present. A couple years down the road with Poggie and Rask the Leafs may have had the world by the tail.Let the Leafs miss the playoffs if they have too. Sell or trade off some of the old stable if the right deal arrises. I wonder how many teams asked about Sundin.If the right price is offered I think you have to let him go (for young talent). I think they need to make a concerted effort towards a certain time span,not far into the future (say a five year plan) and pet EVERYTHING into that plan. Don't worry about today as much. The fans have been loyal throughout the last fourty years, what's another five?So Mr. Ferguson, here's hoping you have the guts your father did. Here's hoping you'll turn a deaf ear to those who want instant gratification. Have the balls to build for the future of this franchise sir. We'll all stand by you (at least the real Leaf Fans will). I'm a devoted Leaf fan until death..... (I BLEED BLUE) . Please win a cup before then!

Brantford seems to have lots. Typical price gouging though. The gas companies should have their prices more closely regulated. Really, what other consumer goods fluctuate to that extent ...... especially on holiday weekends? Funny how that works, isn't it? Must be just a big coincidence!

Played with a Stradic 2500 at BPS. SWEET REEL!!! Unfortunately out of my price range. I settled for a Sahara.

Nice! You got some beauties! Thanks for posting that. A very enjoyable four minutes .

I've met a couple people. Rick Lanz from the Leafs came into our family store. So did Ronny Hawkins as a matter of fact . I met Pat Quinn in a Skybox at a Bulldogs/babyLeafs game......big mitts on that guy! I've also met Smokey Yunick and Don Garlits at car shows/events.

Seemed like I'd been there not too long ago when I looked at the pics. Then I realized it was when I got married. We went there on our honeymoon almost seventeen years ago I hope you took the tour inside the parliament buildings .... gorgeous. Also the museum of civilization (you can see it in yours and even better in CrisS's pic of the lock) was a great place to visit (was there only ten years ago) and they have an Imax theatre. I love those Imax movies. There is definetely alot to do in Otterwa. Glad you had fun.

You got me tjsa . Harvick should've won that . I was on the computer and watching it too. Actually flicking to fishing shows too LOL!!!

Wow,that's incredible. You know what they say,"good things come to good people". Have fun with her you lucky devil.

OMG!! That is uncanny. I wonder if their mommas can tell them apart. They could use this to their advantage (work,girlfriend etc, ...... I was there really LOL).

That's okay guys,keep the clothes on LOL. Let's keep this clean. I definetely see a similarity. Get Tony B to put Fishnsleds glasses on.

Welcome. You got a Legend 18 extreme eh? Very nice for a first boat! Did you buy it at the Toronto Spring Fishing show? I'm very,very jealous.

I feel, being a newbie here that I almost shouldn't comment on a subject like this,because I don't really know you Lew, but it seems to me the timing is awfully close to your daughters mishap. Somehow events like this are sometimes eye openers. Seems like we go through life coasting alot and every once in a while you get slammed into a wall and you are forced to open your eyes. Sometimes we don't like what we see. Anyway,I could be way off base here. If I am disregard what I've said. You know, you seem like a real nice guy Lew. You go out of your way to help others. I'm sure your handshake is as good as gold too. Whatever it is that driving you nuts,just give it a few days and I'm sure it won't seem quite as bad. Take care there big guy.

I got the exact same reply ...... word for word LOL. I guess I didn't even deserve my own response. Plus I only got one reponse (sent it to all the councillors and mayor). Oh well,better than none. Please keep us updated on this Rick.

I've never cleaned a fish in my life. I guess I'm going to learn this year. Here is a video at youtube on filleting pike ....... http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=filleting+pike . Hope this helps. Maybe a couple of the experts here can check it out and see if it's the correct way (same as theirs LOL).

I'm going to have to go with my kids. My son (nine) and daughter (twelve). I really want them to have a love for the outdoors-fishing,camping etc. ( I really need to put my wife in here too). I guess I'm trying to make some great memories with them, before they're too old and "too cool" to hang out with dad. This thread is actually quite touching and alot of people are choosing loved ones they miss. It kind of brings a tear to your eye. I thought about that too and then decided I'll take the people that are most important to me now.
