Another good one! Congrats.

I'm looking forward to April to get after some Brookies!

Great catch!

This was Honey. She passed away last August. She was an amazing fishing/camping buddy the last 15 years.

Sorry to hear about your daughter. Hope you're hangin' in there as best as you can.

Some great looking fish!

Still sounds like a better day than I had at work LOL

Yep Smerch, that's what the spots are from! Toronto is North, but this year honestly has me perplexed. We've been having the exact same weather as Toronto it would seem and in fact, according to my family still in the city, they barely got any of the storm we had over Christmas here in Welland/Port. So who knows. I pulled my cams for the year after the season ended. So I haven't been monitoring the Deer activity. I'd imagine that they would be starting here too though.

My dad sent me this picture today from his backyard in Toronto. We got sheds. Definitely starting.

Good Podcast

Happy New Year!

Fact! When I was younger I used to groom myself. Then I got older, and tired of it and paid someone to do it until she passed last August.

Merry Christmas to you too!

Nice buck, congrats!

Merry Christmas everyone!

JEEZ! I refuse to believe you don't own/run a multi million dollar Car Port building company for 20+years 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously... looks really good!

Not sure where you are, but I'm in the office in Welland and we lost power too for a bit.

So sorry for this loss too.

Have to agree with you there... So many of these C19 rules are whack! I understand people wanting to keep people safe, but make it make sense!

I hope you get to see your friend one day.

Wow, this last part hit me! I see this happening with my Dad. Still a very healthy man at 78 but, he's slowed over the years. He still hunts geese on his own, and he came with me to put up a tree stand and prep for this year's deer season, but the man is getting older and he barely fishes anymore... I think fishing a little more strenuous for him than sitting in a blind. I took him to St Johns after we went 0 for 0 on the Spring Turkey opener so he could feel the tug of a fish again and maybe get a fillet knife in his hands. Always amazing to see him light up again. Part of why I ice fish Simcoe a lot is Dad's in Toronto. I bring my catch to his house on the way home and then I clean the fish and we do a fish fry before I come back home to Niagara. Makes for a loooong way back, but any amount of time I get to spend with my old man is always worth it. We all get older. It's unavoidable... that's why it's a great thing to appreciate what you do while you can still do it for as long as you can do it. St Johns Pond

Sorry for your loss! Sounds like he was a great guy!

That's awesome! good catch. Good luck tomorrow.

Smerchly, you are absolutely right! Local fishing shops are where it's at! Unless the sale is really right somewhere else. I was recently in the market for a new suit because my old bibs were ripped after years of abuse. I found the Striker Predator jacket and bibs on for $369.99 each plus tax at Fishing World in Hamilton. Bass Pro in NOTL had the same Jacket and bibs for $549.99 each plus tax... When I was deciding, my mind was blown and it was a no-brainer to support the little man... and I should mention that Fishing World also gave me a free Striker hoodie valued at $124 in addition to the epic price they were offering!

I've seen bucks one after the other on my trail cams a couple times this season.
