The Lions Club never disappoints! It was a bit of a challenge to find tickets this year but a friend came through and I was able to get a few.

Decided to make a late run for Burwell after work. Launched just after 5:30 and ran to 58FOW. Got 3 lines wet before they found each other :banghead: and lost the first fish in the process. Reeling in a triple dipsey tangle with a walleye attached is the kind of fun only team @anonymoose can...

Couldn't turn down an invitation from Captain @noclass, doubly so with the weather forecast being so great. Unfortunately, with a capable captain at the helm, the comedic value of this fishing report will be severely diminished. Left port shortly after 4 and fished 4:30-7. Set lines in 58FOW...

Well the full team @anonymoose ran out of Burwell today. Setting out from port I couldn't help but notice the @Cap'nkirk vessel docked with nobody aboard. "This will be a tough day on gear" I said. It was the first and only time in my life that I've been wrong. A quick jaunt out to 60' and...

Team anonymoose hadn't yet hit the water for 2023. I had pulled the tarp off the boat and brought it up to the house yesterday. It was full of mouse shit. I managed to get it vacuumed out and new mouse bait installed before heading out for my Saturday Father's Day duties. I've chuckled for...

Happy Father's Day to all the fishing dads out there. You might be a dad if an old muff still gets your motor running!

Went for a stroll in the sky today. Just cell phone pics but thought I'd share.

Yesterday after an unsuccessful turkey hunt I decided to try some pheasant backs. They were pretty bland and lived up to their reputation as a b-grade mushroom. They would be better to cook with than enjoy on their own. Redeemed myself today with some morels! Flagged a few small ones and will...

Another fantastic muskrat dinner put on by the Lions Club. Great to see them back in action after a couple of years off.

I figured I'd jump on the trend here and post about my winter project. My dad bought this Polaris Sportsman off the lot in '94 and I've been trying to keep it running. The trouble started one day when I went to the shop and found that it had dropped all of its 2-stroke oil on my floor. That's...

Team @anonmymoose made it down for a 7:30 start and gave a neighbourly "hello" on my way out to @Cap'nkirk on my way out. He must have spied the precious cargo of young anglers, the janky rig I was captaining, and recalled my history of general bumblef@ckery, put all this together, and decided...

OK another day another trip, no entertainment today just need to brag about this fattie 9lbs 9 Oz off the rigger 42 feet down. Went out to 62 around 5:30 trolled back until dusk, 19 in the box plus 2 bows. No farm creatures. Captain @noclass put up with my antics for another evening and I...

I was lucky to get an invitation from @noclass to hit the water last night. We were on the water around 5 and headed to some productive marks from a previous trip, and quickly decided to approach them from a different direction due to the wave activity. We set lines and trolled with the waves...

OK, so it isn't back on its rod yet but got this 5 colour tangle undone and loaded backwards on an unused reel. Thanks @Cap'nkirk for retrieving it for me!

I haven't been trolling once this year. Tomorrow morning is the only time I can get out for the next 2 weeks. Saying chance of thunderstorm in the morning Saying low wind though: I need you guys to just tell me that it won't rain tomorrow so that I book the day off and go fishing.

Hey all, As a classic cheapskate, I tarp my boat for storage every winter rather than shrink wrapping. It works well but I wind up buying one of those silver TSC tarps every year or two. Is there anything that I can get a little more life out of that won't break the bank? Cheers
