A nice Striped Bass I caught while fishing in Czechoslovakia, the structure to my left (your right) is the Iron curtain. I didn't think it looked like that either... but it does!

Great thread Steve!

 

Here are a few of my pics....

 

Kawartha opener with my daughter...no fish in this pic, but it shows what fishing with family is all about....spending time together.....

dadsyddock.jpg

 

In late December 2006, I decided to try my luck at float fishing for Steelhead. After about 10 times out with no fish, it took the teachings of CanadianCopper to finally break my steelie skunk. It's not big, but it was my first of many to land last year. It was -18C (-25 with the wind chill), but we persevered!!

gallery_60_22_41334.jpg

 

Our first ever trout opener...on a nice, small, out of the way trib. Not huge numbers of fish, but no crowds!! Here's a few nice shots....

gallery_60_23_133864.jpg

Lakair was a highlight for bly and I...here are a few pics....

The group shot....lakairgroup.jpg

 

 

Basskicker gave us a canoe this past summer and we had a great time finally getting off the shorelines! It's not often you can get a 5 year old to stay seated in a canoe, but she did great....here's a pic of her first fish from our canoe...

The fall came and bly and I went after Salmon for the first time ever. She ended up catching this gorgeous Brown Trout....

Not a personal best but it was the first I finally landed (after some sound instruction about what I was doing wrong using a baitrunner reel) on my new (to me) carp equipment...after missing four in a row... :blush:

Hands down my favourite picture and outing of the year is my daughters FIRST bluegill!

My Fiance's First carp!

med_gallery_133_237_33732.jpg

 

My Dad and I don't get out much these days as he lives in Sudbury and I live near Long Point so it was a huge

highlight to get out with him on the BOG this summer where he managed his PB Largie, first time using a

bait caster to boot!
