Lakers are DEEEELISHHHHHHH....... have had them many times during canoe trips into NW Ont. Personally, my wife and I are just fishing for trophies...we don't ever keep. Incredible thing about Alberta that Manitobans can't wrap their heads around: Walleye are so scarce in Alberta, that in order to keep ANY, you have to enter a tag-lottery (as Manitobans do for hunting deer/elk/moose, etc) and you can get drawn for Class A/B/C (which correspond to a certain size). It's really wild and we've never bothered to enter. We'll both eat fish, but we don't like it enough to bother going through the hassle. And I could fillet if I absolutely had to, but again, to me it's not worth the hassle. I'm strictly out there trying to catch a 30" walleye and nothing else...

went to the Otter Vortex Monster Lodge this year (at 132sq ft, the largest on the market) so the BB was a necessity. We still have a "Regular Buddy" from before, as a back up. Finally got the hose to the 20lb propane working properly, so we'll be cooking this weekend. Alright, I think we might need to branch this conversation off into a separate thread, if a Mod would be so kind......

Yesterday morning - but thanks!

switched to the Big Buddy (has CO sensor and auto-shut off) this year (Sunflower is a death trap...) and 2 CO detectors running at all times. Will be a great winter/spring!

Apologies for derailing the CanPoli thread......but bless you fellas for this discussion on MB fishing. It sustains me. Wife and I have decided to get into the winter camping craze to take advantage of the late night/overnight/early AM bite. Were out a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed it, going again this coming weekend. The walleye bite from 7-9pm was just stupid...worth every bit of effort. Have a buddy whose mom is from Snow Lake originally, with some family cabins up Wekusko way. That Grass River Chain is polluted with big fish. Relatively little known fact: There is no better place in the province to find Master Angler (20") Sauger than Wekusko, if you're attempting to check that one off your MA list....

No excuses, but apparently there's a bad cold/flu virus going through the locker room and a bunch of guys are playing quite sick...

There is no player I'm worried less about than Yoshi. He ain't going anywhere.

DEAD BITE - STAY AWAY - NOT WORTH YOUR TIME!!

I'm thinking Mark's community is just doing it wrong Might be a finicky bite right now, but the South Basin is an extremely special place. Fishing Manitoba/NW Ont is probably my biggest obsession in life....possibly more than the Bombers, even. There are few things I care about more.

For those of us who hate video with every fibre of our being... here's Our Man Tait's latest piece:

lies and damned lies..... the greenback bite on LW, specifically on the west side between Matlock and "The Mouth" has been incredible. I follow all the usual suspects on social media and watch a lot of YouTube vids that are going up. Not only are numbers up, but overall size is incredible. A 15lb 32.5" tanker just came out yesterday morning....unreal.

I also thought it was odd and don't remember him...

I hold firm that The Gappers end up with either Dane Evans or BLM, but I'd absolutely love it if they have to endure another season with the Faj....

I've got a hard time believing a CIS DB sticks down south, but you just never know...agreed that he and his brother have one hell of an agent.

tons of info coming from various coaches/GMs today out of their winter meetings..... so they just swapped OL coaches....??

I'm trying so hard....honestly thought I had things locked up for a Kenora gig.... crushed 2.5 interviews, including with the president of the company, and then crickets..... sigh. I'm working on it, though...the wife and I have an agreement in place to allow it.

Walters presser coming up this afternoon...hopefully some tidbits in that.

all rural, trust me.... it's up in the far north, it's in the far south, and all the rural area surrounding Red Deer in the middle..... it's lunacy, and I just can't stand it anymore.

But Demski isn't just a receiver....he can play RB if needed (and does, at times) and can return kicks if need be. We don't have anyone, on either side of the ball, that is as versatile a weapon as Nic Demski. He's in his prime right now and is attempting to get the one last big paycheque that he's rightfully earned. Outside of QB or LT, I don't know that there's a more valuable person for the Bombers right now....

Good Jones and Peters going to the NFL has nothing to do with Dalton Schoen. **** every team that isn't us.
