This is an ode to all those September "First Ice" posts. With all this beautiful warm(ish) weather I'm wondering how many people think we might be getting the boats out in March again this year? Happened a couple years back for sure, and here's hoping 2017 is no different. Open water March...

Sweet!!

Thanks again, I'll be in touch soon.

Drive by the spot everyday on my way to work, most days I want to bail and go looking for her again. http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad289/vdmcarter/7710a1f4-1ff6-4aa2-8aad-d31e1ce57d7f_zps70ece2eb.jpg http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad289/vdmcarter/69c0324e-3a73-4123-8994-236d1712dbfe_zps3c97...

Muskie smiles are some of the biggest and long lasting around.
Great job getting some folks on their fish of a lifetime!

Good to see you guys out slaying 'em. Seems like it's been too long.

Have been out of touch.

Can't compete online. Have filed for bankruptcy. Liqiudation starts next week.

I might head there tonight, but a buddy in Kanata says the parking lot is already a zoo and it's not even open yet.... I read on another forum that the Toronto LeBaron's is closing, liquidating as early as next week. If the main store that's been there since the 60's closes what's that mean for the ...

Weekend warriors are gone, Cityiots are all busy putting on their winter tires, and the Googans have enough options as to not come over and fish directly infront of me while I troll down a weedline...well this might be wishful thinking. Got cut off twice yesterday, but it's ok cause they watched me ...

My question concerns water levels. Up at the cottage which is in the whitewater area it wasn't uncommon to show up on Friday and watch the water levels drop steadily until the following Thursday or so. I always knew to get out early and fish the weeds and the shoreline when the water was high, since...

Nice Mooneye!

Took my cousin out last week and after never seeing one in 10 years on the O, I watched him catch two that day.

Guess they're turning on the feedbag....hopefully that turns on the Muskie real soon.

Can't believe how the day flew by, it was over way too soon.

Already thinking about what we should do next time.

Thanks again for a great day and great Laker action, in August!

You can certainly fish Silver lake from shore if you stop at the rest area just off the highway. We stopped just about everywhere over the years travelling between Stoney Creek and Ottawa with my parents. You could also try the Skootamattta river, there was a rest stop there for the bus (not sure if...

I've only been a couple times and we've had some luck with trolling for Muskie and Pike. One thing that I can say is the floating weeds out there make the Ottawa or Rideau look like a swimming pool. The mats of floating weeds get as big as your boat or bigger. When trolling a weed gaurd is a must an...

Congrats on a beauty Muskie. First one is always so memorable and you have nabbed a great first ski. I've always thought anything over 46" was a great fish and there's no doubt that one is 46" +. To do it with you Dad and son in the boat must have added to the experience as well. I wonder ...

Very nice.

Congrats on the skis, especially like the look of that Rideau river fish.
