I know Dirk will be off to Rice if he isn't tending to his new family addition
I will most likely hit Buckhorn for overnight slabs. Last year was so fun. If you have access to southeast reports, you know what i'm talking about. Hopefully it won't be shoulder to shoulder... had enough of that at more popular zone 16 locations
I will be restricted to shore fishing as I haven't got the roof rack and canoe for the gf's new car yet. Once we do get that setup...there will be so many more options!
So many back bays that haven't seen much pressure are calling out to me to visit them!!!

I might be on Canal or Scugog at midnight that night. Hopefully it's not going to be packed..

I wonder how the slab action is there now.
3 years ago, my gf and i would catch one after the other and it was packed. for some reason it was only us doing all the catching and everyone kept staring haha... even the couple boats out there.
after that, i probably went once or twice and it really wasn't the same.
at least it's not too far though.
scugog is still pretty good, but for sure it's gonna be full of people.
if you want to join my group let me know. it's a far drive though. like almost 2 hours... more if i stop at timmies for washroom break and a drink.
the further you are, the less people.
the canoe thing is in the works...nothing for sure yet.
gf still hasn't picked up the car and the roof rack i have a friend who's yet to give me some prices...

I'm trying to get my friends back into fishing for the kawartha opener, but if they don't, I'll join you
Fishing solo kinda sucks after so many solo trips
And maybe one time later this year, I'll bring my friends, and you bring yours..and we can go claim an entire spot so that we don't get any crazy people casting over us Lol ...Theres this one spot I like a lot, except theres tons of people and they will cast over you to get their spot!

and I dont think I can reach them with my scissors..and 90% its illegal because it's probably got to do something with stopping people from fishing law.

well, they cast over top of your line and not your head. it only ends up as a huge tangle at the end of both lines...
and I dont think I can reach them with my scissors..and 90% its illegal because it's probably got to do something with stopping people from fishing law.
icic true about the stopping people from fishing but aren't they doing the same thing by tangling your line?
should get two setups one just for tangling their lines. then leave it tangled with their lines and use your next setup to fish. it that legal? just wondering, but i don't plan on being such an a$$.
how do you guys deal with people like that?

I got pretty mad and left early that day, and this usually only happens when the season just started in spring. (everyone that fishes goes to simcoe because of it's proximity to GTA/earlieR ice out). By the time the season's started, I almost only go at night, which has less crowds and less of these terrible people

That sound's like the best idea yet there is lot's of water you just have to search and you will find some place to fish that won't be crowded. GOOD LUCKAhh, nice idea. But I'm going to avoid those people for the rest of the year, so I'm ok now

...........................RICE LAKE..........................
You better post a report.
I want to see what the hype is on Rice Lake opener
more specifically, i want to know what kind of water are they being pulled out of and the size of the fish.
Will you be targetting specific shallow spots?
Will you be in search of them, constantly on the move until you hit a school?
Or do you know where they are stacked up at the moment?
Sorry for all the questions haha... I rarely go out on boat for spring slabs...so was just wondering in case I will this year.

i also bet he's taking LOTS of pics haha
edwin, did you end up getting the compre for 100?
I was tempted to get another UL for like 85 or 95... something like that...gf stopped me haha

I was thinking, if the compre was gonna be 140 or so when the sale goes off, I think I might want the split grip and everything.
I am still very unsure of what I want to get Lol. Hope I haven't missed the sale if I go get it later this week.

She is doing fine and yes you guys are right, if she wasn't around, I would be out on the water every day after PIKE season closed up on the 31st of March. I could get out now to but right now I just don't have the itch or edge to fish. Wife has already given me the green light.
In due time. A lot depends on water temperature. Lots of people fail to realize that. The water may still be to cold for the spawn. Once the temp is in the window, it will be fast and furious.

Congrats on the baby girl and looking forward to some great reports, just wondering if you would know what the temp should be for spawning? I have tried to research it but with no luck would appriciate the help. GOOD LUCK and again CongratsYes, don't worry, many reports to come.
