This is the one I have man. I paid 115. It looks like they have it on for 95.

Great catch. Looks like a nice perfect hook set.

The new rig looks good. Nice job on laying the slime on it. Your pretty consistent that is for sure.

To steal a joke from George Carlin Think of how stupid the average person is. Now think that half the population is even stupider than that. :-) smally. No one will ever get charged with that unless they downright prevent you from fishing with constant harrassment. Otherwise everyone who has crossed my lines trolling whether it be a ignorant jerk or just some poor shmuck who made a mistake would get hauled in on word against word accusations. You just have to chalk it up as a crappy occurance.

I bought a standard horizon from radio world. Does the trick. 3 foot antenna plus radio was under 150 for the works.

I have used tons of spools of power pro and have never gotten a bad spool. If this is the first bad spool you have had in many spools I would consider giving them another shot. If it is the first and only spool you have used of Power Pro I would vouch for them in saying that another bad spool is not likely. I am interested to hear if anyone else has found this.

Awesome planes. I took this picture when I was in Red Lake. I do not know what these planes are, not Norseman but cool anyways. I think the yellow one is a caravan but I would not even begin to know.

Things like that do not have to be written or at least they shouldn't. I guess it comes to the golden rule. Would you like it if someone did it (whatever it may be) to you? If the answer is no, do not do "it". Unwritten laws, school yard rules, all these things are the essence of humanity. They are the things that are innate in us and give us a sense of what is right and wrong and a sense of justice. These things are a pain in the neck but could never ever be classified as criminal. It was a bright cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen......

Insane. Way to pound em.

I would definitely say that what they did was not even close to being anything near proper protocol.

Great report and congrats on the new ride. Your a musky machine.

Nice report man. The dock looks great. Looks like a real nice spot.

Some people fish the highway 24 side but it is a parking heat score. You should park at jones baseline and walk over. I have not ever fished there so I don't know. I would think the conservation area would allow you more spots. Again you are allowed to fish the 24 side but you can not park on 24. Hope this helps.

When my mother asked him for drinking water he said the lake water is fine. Drink it. In a miserable voice. I have been drinking it all my life and I am just fine. One of his employees snuck my mom a jug of drinking water. As far as making the best of it. We did. My father, mother and I did just that. We had a wonderful vacation full of fish, not because of Mr Geary but in spite of him. The things promised to us, drinking water, hydro, functioning boat and motor, friendly service were not offered. In fact the first thing he said about one of his long time employees when we landed was "yeah, that guys not too bright". After seeing what this guy just went through for this smug irritating man that just turned my stomach. We were lucky, we won the boat lottery and ours was only down for half a day the first day. Others were not so lucky. Anyways like I said, I do not relish the thought of coming on here and doing this, it has clearly made me look bad. I am not the guy Ron was talking about, nor Terry nor Gbfisher. I do not know them. So it sounds like it wasn't an Isolated incident. The guests up there talked to each other and I did not meet one bunch that was returning. Again the fishing was superb. Just like at any outfitter in that area. I will be heading back to NW Ontario, just not "The Kingdom".

Everything should be just fine by August next year. I am sure he will be extra nice to the OFNers. I would jump at this, of course he will make it look good.

I do not get real excited about trashing a guy. I am not overly enthusiastic about expressing my beliefs in this case. It would have been better if it was better. Kgeary has mentioned as few times that he has not hidden his name. Well that is because he is onto self promotion. He has suggested that I am hiding behind a name. My name is Dave Turple. I booked a trip with Angler's Kingdom a few years back. We got screwed but at the same time we were lucky. Some guys did not have a boat for days. Imagine driving 40 hours to not fish for a few of your 7 days. The things I said earlier was true. I have no reason to lie. Weedline You say to shut up and fish. We are complainers. I was raised by two wonderful people who have never been overly excited about luxury. My parents just got back from a month and a half of tenting in Alaska and across the country. My younger years of outdoors were spent in Algonquin. My family does not need luxury. I am going to work 10 hours tomorrow drive for seven sleep for 3 and fish for 12. Without luxury. Would you like me to pick you up? I am one of the lowly construction workers they speak. I used all of my excess income to go to this place. Have not since. Weedline. My name is David George Turple. Kevin Geary screwed me. What is yours? Geary has suggested that I am hiding behind a name, well there you have it. I am not. Your humble servant David George Turple

I love the ships name. Cool job.

Nice gig man. I am a mobile crane operator. I love it.

The river was ok because it was shielded from the wind. He had to stay behind the other guy. It was I guess about 20 minutes. Can't really remember. Than we put all our stuff into other boats and went on the lake. At one point we were told to be the lead boat. We were in 6 feet of water with 4 foot waves and rocks everywhere. The guy said you guys go ahead we are going to put a marker here. Our guy said are you kidding I don't even know where I am going. It was insane. It was a long time on the lake in those conditions. My guess was an hour. Prolly about 15-20 minutes in good conditions. I just have to say the staff was great giving what they had to deal with. The fishing was good though. The fishing is good in alot of places though.

I was up there a few years back. Met Dano there. Solid dude. First off they guy that brought us to camp got to the landing the same time we did. He was to work at the camp. He did not know the river in nor the lake nor where the camp was on the lake. The wind was blowing high after a snow storm the night before. You did not send the big Jon boat for all the gear because it wasn't running. So all the gear got jammed into the boats. The gunwale was about 4 inches above the water. The waves were crashing over the side. The kid driving the boat was scared to death and told us as much. When we did get to camp half the cottages weren't ready because you fired the crew. The people that worked at the camp became the cottage building crew and none of the boats were ready. Some people could not even go out fishing. You went to town for 3 days and were unavailable. I could go on and on. It was a nightmare. The lake is fantastic. Blanket conditions walleye and the pike were big and mean but that isn't your doing. Your end is the camp. It stunk. I was there the same week as Dano. The staff were openly talking about walking out on you. When you were there you were beligerent. Ugh. I hate to be so negative but it is what it is.

That's excellent. You just can't beat it.

Great report. Some real nice quality fish there.

Indeed. I do not know enough about what is the exact difference in the state of mind of .50 and .80, but I would agree that the judges have to start using there muscle a little more. I would like there to be no tolerance of repeat offenders, like dozer said a 40 year old should bloody well know better. I still think that there should be some leniency towards first time offenders but with strings attached. I will say this though Dozer, to say that I am nuts for saying that they are targeting young people is ridiculous when the law clearly states that G1 or G2 license has a different amount of alcohol limit. G1 and G2 licenses are held by younger drivers generally and new Canadians I suppose. My main concern with the law as it stands now is this. It is almost saying if you have a certain amount of driving experience you are more capable of having a few and getting behind the wheel which sounds a bit odd to me and is why I would concede a point to FishnNAutographs about the .5 limit for everybody. However I would still openly say that I do not have enough knowledge to know what exactly is the difference between the frame of mind between a .5 and a .8 driver, which makes me wonder if the law was just fine as it was. Anyways it is certainly interesting stuff and I appreciate the different insights on the matter.

I do not understand how something can be more or less illegal depending on how old you are. Next thing you know they will double speeding fines for people under 25. I think we are brushing up against age discrimination here. Anyways, I do not think drinking and driving should be tolerated. I also do not think it should be tolerated more or less depending how old you are.

It is nice to see Izumi still up there. Izumi once had a stare down with Chuck Norris and emasculated him so badly that he turned from Major Scott McCoy into Walker Texas Ranger.
