Joey Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 We headed out in the fog this morning, with the WeatherChannel threatening rain (Wrong again, what a surprise). We were to meet Terry at 8 a.m. at the launch. As we turned from Ravenshoe Rd. onto 48 the truck in front of us turned out to be Terry. Good timing or what. We all pulled into the bait shop on 48, Captain Morbid's. What an experience that was. This place, from the outside, looks like a biker shop. Inside was Mr. Morbid , a long haired biker wannabe/you mean its not the 60's hippie. He talked up quite a storm, in the meantime charging us $12 per scoop of minnows. For sale in the store he had biker clothes, heavy metal shirts, drug paraphenalia, jewellery, incense, food, knick knacks you'd find in your grandmother's house, expensive shoes and designer clothes. The tank top I fancied, he informed me, was $79 I just wondered the rest of the day who, that would pay the kind of money he wanted for designer clothes, would actually be enticed into the store in the first place. Yes, I'll have Chanel handbag and a bag of minnows please, with air Anyhow, on to the fishing. It was pretty much a slush pile that turned into bigger puddles as the day went by, but there was at least 12 inches of ice and people driving cars, vans and trucks out all day long. Terry getting ready for the bite. Paul actually caught a fish this time, on Simcoe. It was a day for the record books We caught a few dinks and I lost a big one at the hole, then Terry reeled in this monster. It was about 14 inches. Then I finally got a big one too, came in just over 14 inches and my PB Perch, (sorry Terry) Didn't really keep count of how many fish we caught, but we kept the two monsters and 3 medium to small ones. Good for a nice snack. Thanks again for your company Terry, I had a really good time. Can't wait for laker and whitie ice Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoz Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 WOW!! Monster carp . . . . monster perch . . . . w'at's next . . . . . a 10 pound whitie or a 25 pound laker? I don't believe the price this guy's chargin' for minnows . . . . is he the ONLY place up there? How about Harry's in Keswick on the way up? He ALWAYS gives a GOOD scoop, was $3.50 last year? Or anybody down in Scarberia . . . . LUCKY'S . . . . (Midland & Sheppard) $3.00 will getcha a WEEK'S supply of emeralds, and he has all the basic gear you need, pretty reasonably priced. But . . . . I JUST GOTTA get a shot at some of those MONSTER fish . . . . w'at the secret Joey? How do ya do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
