Didn't help thou...fished the same spot on the rec canal where I was last Saturday from 7-9 am, but all I got was 3 dinky perch, a tiny silver bass and 1 small smelt!

Bubba14 Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 There were three huts out there this past Wednesday but I didn't get to talk to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Fished it twice now, ice varies from 5-8 inches. As far as fishing, not good. A few small perch and the odd pike swimming around. I made it to the channel by the big building the other day, thought the deeper water may be better - wrong. Seems around the docks are the place to be. But nothing special, sometimes its just nice to get out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Welcome to the club Digger ...lots of crazy people here ..... Crazy about fishing that is .... I had a staff terrier named Digger ...a super great dog ....should have called him Flop ...would lay on top of people.... I just came in from moving a BIG pile of banked snow from the back driveway to the front . It was 32*F when I started ....then the rain and wind started and now the temp reads 40*F .....not NICE ! We can expect 3 days of this warm shi -t .. It will start the creek/river runoffs and the ice will get softer .... ..... Our days are limited ....be extra careful out there guys & gals ...

Digger Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Thanks smerchly, I'm similar to your dog. Try to lay on top of my wife from time to time, but she just kicks me off and tells me to go fishing.....YES it worked! Took a walk to Ramey's today, shoreline already getting soft. Careful is the word of the day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had digger for 13 years , which is about 85 in people years .... but he was castrated ..... Thanks for the "heads up" about Ramey's "bend" . (I'm sharp this morning) CAREFUL IS THE WORD ..... tread lightly ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl L Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Just read on another fishing site that sugarloaf marina will be increasing their launching fee by $5 this coming year. Alot of places are using COVID to jack up the cost of services. When this is all over (if ever) things are going to get a hell of a lot more expensive for us.

Just came back from lowes where 2 x 4's are almost $8 a board. Couldn't find a straight one anywhere in the pile. Stores jacking up prices for garbage product. My wife does the shopping and says groceries have gone up 20-30% since this crap started, and you know they will never come back down. The average person is going to have to make alot of sacrifices moving forward. I hope people remember all of this come election time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelt_Fishy Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Yup, sad things is people making these decisions seriously don't understand the implications of their decisions (or they do and don't care because it won't really impact their deep pockets). How hard is it to figure out that if you hit businesses with higher costs (i.e. carbon taxes), they will pass them on to the consumer. No different than minimum wage increases. You drastically change the revenue stream of a company and they will just pass it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe others as well. I got my notice from Hydro Monday for my cottage. If I read it correctly I will actually be paying less as they convert my account from seasonal to residential R2.

smerchly Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 We apparently got a "covid" break on our hydro costs by getting the cheaper rate during peak hours . That will end as we go back to regular rates ....increases to come as new carbon taxes are added . Our kitchen stove is gas ,so that helps keep hydro costs down a tad .

Digger Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 All the Covid breaks are over, now they'll start charging more to make up for lowering the cost for the last 6 months. And 5 bucks more to launch at Sugarloaf? Man that's got to be almost 20 bucks a pop now. Add the gas(lib's carbon added) and bait costs, that I'm sure are going up too. Might be cheaper to buy walleye from Minor's, already filleted. Not as fun though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
