BillM Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) I didn't get out last weekend because I had gf duty. I really don't want to hit the Notty again just to get skunked, I'm starting to hate that river I am sure a drive to Meaford or Thornbury would be great, but I've never fished the Bighead before so I'd probably just waste my time. Then there are the Lake O tribs, but if you get more then 4 guys there is no more room. Plus it's a good 2hr drive to anywhere productive from Barrie. Should I sit at home and drink the bottle of Crown my neighbour brought over lastnight instead? Edited December 5, 2008 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishing n autograph Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 drink up! lol....j/k not sure what you should do. Unfortunately I don't have time to drive to a Lake O trib either. I have to go to my wife's staff xmas party so i'll be dropping by a few of our local trails to snap a few pics. I'm hoping the bald eagles have returned....they winter along the grand river Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntervasili Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) Way Cold? Sheesh, I am gonna go icefishing on the weekend, lots of ice here now. Ohh wait, nevermind I have Exams Monday, tuesday...etc Looks like I get to stay home and study! The joys of first ice, and university. My advice, dress up, get on the water, enjoy the day while you still can, then drink the bottle of crown.

Leecher Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Bill, if I was you, I'd try Bighead.

KelfuN Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 bill i hope you didnt hit the eastern lake o tribs. i checked several creeks today and was it DEAD. total of 2 fish pulled out all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) Wasn't dead at all where I was.. First trib was a bust, no flow at all... Second trib was a bust for us, but some other guys were nailing them pretty good. I think we saw about 6-7 fish out of a single hole. Berge had a really nice one on, but he had a tackle malfunction and she snapped off. Had to be smacking them in the face with the bait today for sure... Anything is better then sitting at home, maybe I'll put some more hours in on the Notty tomorrow. Edited December 7, 2008 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctdd2006 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) ....you mean De La Hoya's retirement farewell fight??? I think I could have beat him! I don't think I could've dropped the 80 lbs though for the the weigh in! Was it worth my $55 plus taxes??? Not sure yet!?

BillM Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 De La Hoya should have retired a few years ago.. That fight was an embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
