Ummmm...we don't have much in the way of Muskie up here, plus...its the 3rd Sarurday in June in his area. You can plan for a season, but not in every place in the country...sheesh

Pics or we don't buy it. I got to watch all the guys fishing the North Bay shoreline this weekend. My daughter graduated from Nippissing Uni and I was there for graduation. Shoulda brought the boat

I was pretty miserable this morning when at 8 am Sunday morning my stupid neighbor starts jackhammering his concrete patio right outside my bedroom window. I opened the window and called him something that would be blanked out on here and slammed the window. yes, he heard me cause both him and the kid standing with him turned and looked at me. I don't understand how a guy off work on compensation with a bad back can operate a jackhammer. later today his woman says to my wife...oooodid we wake you this morning. My wife was unhappy with me calling him that but she still backed me up and said YES, and walked away. And if you're fishing where I'm launching my boat...well,you're the same thing. PS...I used to be a trooper

Congrats on the new one. And...congrats on the timing too. Nobody else mentioned it but we must always remember the timing. No weddings or birthdays anywhere near an opening day of anything. I almost blew it with my second. He was born 2 weeks before opening of deer season. And don't marry a woman with a birthday near any openers either. I see so many guys getting married on the May long weekend. It really is sad. Anyway...congrats again and have lots of fun with him. They grow up way too fast, and its over before you know it.

If he wants it gone...make it gone. It took me allmost 15 minutes to sell my 14'er

Its a Ford thing. From 04 to at least 08. I had an 04 and the service guys put it on a warranty recall thing. He said Ford was trying to figure it out but had no fix for it yet. I took an 08 out for a test drive and it did the same thing. I even asked the guy and he said...yep...they still do that. You gotta find the sweet spot and you can make it do it whenever you want after that. One did it at 80kmph, the other was about 86. Some as high as 120 from what he said Go try to find the speed. Creep up really slowly and you will find it. In the beginning they put a vibration damper under the back bumper. This helped a bit but not totally cured. The smell is something different. That I don't know, unless you kept it vibrating for a long time and caused it.

My fish finder broke too, but I still picked up 3 nice ones...but yeah..light bite

I'm with you on this one.

Me too, but try a little dip in the jam as you eat it. Just like dipping fries in ketchup.

For walleye, shake em in flour,,,a bit of salt.fry em up..now, get this. I know a lot of guys like to dip it in strawberry jam. You know..instead of ketchup You really gotta try this

you gotta give it back no...but your warranty is gone same as people that were suing GM...no more GM to sue

Boy O boy are you ever gonna get jumped on for fishing Bass OOS

Cool. When I saw the Carp I was like..eh...but a Brown...now thats a fish

They don't weigh a lot do they?

http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/...3_metric_e.html Its been cold over 15 will bring the blackflies out in hordes. They will tear you apart. bring a head net

Wait a second...where was the water that calm last night

Are they in there yet? I better get my Nexus card soon eh

Well, its not Echo bay. Nice fish

thats the one...and the reel is a Tierra in a matching blue. really smooth outfit thats the place dangler. We fished it as kids years ago, but I'm just finding out that it holds eyes in the spring I was happy with that. I had a new rod and reel a few years back that on the Very First cast got me a 5 lb eye. And you only get one first cast. It was pretty neat

Well, the weather sucked all weekend, but I managed a couple hours of fishing around noon Saturday. I'm new to the river fishing here. I have done piles of backwoods fishing and always ignored the StMarys river except for the salmon that is. I decided that this year I had to see what all the buzz was about out there. The guy where I bought the boat said that the walleye were starting to hit in Echo bay. Just toss out a worm with maybe a one bladed spinner and drift around. Ok..I'll give it a shot. Pretty poor weather, but the rain and mist made the hills look pretty. I remember it being shallow in there, but only 3'. Suprised me. I only fished for an hour and a half. It just got too wet. Had a good time though. Oh yeah...the fish. One walleye and one nice perch. I never measured it but it was an easy 20" The new rod is a 6' 6 medium fast G loomis with a Diawa reel...I don't remember the model but its a pretty blue.. Good way to break it in. Went again tonight with my son and he lost one about the same size boatside. I want the river fishing because you can go for a couple hours in the evening after work. Once I learn the places and tricks...look out walleye

Nice catch...not giving up the name of the lake eh

I tried Friday night and couldn't do it because of the wind. Just went for a boat ride instead. I tried Saturday and got out for a couple hours (managed a nice 22 incher for "first slime" in the new boat) then got rained out. Was going to go again today but the wind is too much. maybe tomorrow will be better.

Fish is food. people are going to eat fish. Its good for you. Whats the difference if I spend a whole bunch of money to go and catch it myself, or if I go to the grocery store and buy what somebody else caught. I used to be able to catch a whole mess of perch here, but last year some so called ........... blocked the channel with nets and ruined the perch fishery. Don't try and tell me that my few perch or walleye is going to ruin fish stocks.

For years we went on one week family fishing vacations. I would get on the internet and search for a place and go there. We would rent a housekeeping cabin at a lodge. They would generally have boat rentals, but I always took my own 14' er. We needed to be able to take the family labrador with us, so that cut a lot of nice options. Most times we would be in a nice place...a couple years, not so nice. But it was always an adventure. The worst was a trip to Nipigon. I really wanted to fish Nipigon for specs, and I knew that I was making a mistake, but I went for it anyway. We looked at the cabin after a 9 hour drive, and went and found a motel for the night, and another place to stay for the week. It all worked out ok. All cabins were between 800 and 1000 a week rental which suited out budget quite well. We went to fairly out of the way places mot times. One you may like was on the pickerell river. Fishing was tough, but not horrible. One year my daughter ended up with a 9lb walleye. They were all good memories. just strike out and go. I found that each place may not be perfect, but they were all good family times. personally, I like a cabin rather than a tent for a weeks family vacation

The EU is doing nothing to stop Portuguese and Spanish fishing trawlers from poaching on the Grand Banks. They still allow that Cod to be sold. Thankyou Michelle
