Ray - I'd be interested in heading up that way for some hard water. Most of the guys on here got pissed off by the constant political talk and trolling. All those guys just wanted to talk fishing and hunting, but most conversations turned into a pissed match... posting photo's and video's just aren't worth it anymore.

I believe the saying is "if you build it, they will come" LOL

However I wonder if there would be anny people interested in splake , and simply the seclusion of the far north ?? Anny opinions ???
A Ray

Personally, I would not drive up North just for slake but I would to catch big lake trout or limits of pickerels and whities though.
The seclusion of the North is definitely a bonus as long as you don't spend a full day to get in and out of the lake. There is always one guy in the group that is not that adventurous.

Good luck in project.

To me the issue is that someone ask a simple question and the thread get sideway, kind of like your thread..... I wanted to read about ice fishing and I ended reading about BS. No big deal but.....

Or someone ask, "What the best atv out there?" and most people will answer "get a snowmobile" and the OP doesn't get any relevant answer so it won't ask again. It seems like that most guys want to give answers or want to reply even if they have nothing to say.

I hope you "stick around" Ray.
Most of the topics on this forum are southern Ont related & are of little interest to us in the "north"
Nice to see some perspective from another northern guy.

No offense meant to those in the south,unless you are a liberal from the gta.lol

ARay,

I'm still around. Don't post nearly as much.

Many of the people I enjoyed reading are no longer active posters (BTW you were on that list, at the top). Many cite the political BS, some say it's the trolls. Many I believe just grow tired or grow away from it. I started to think it was me chasing people away.

You know first hand the circus that posting pics of a successful fishing or hunting trip can bring. There are some guys that live to tell us all about how taking any fish is killing the fishery.

Don't get me wrong there are still some good guys (and girls) here...but it is not the same.

I have seen your new posts with the girls, looks like you are still keeping it real...I applaud you for that. You remind me in many ways of my father when I was your kids' age.

Let us know what you decide on a splake operation.

for me, it was the constant complaining about everything that you do and pictures posted... i left for about 3 years myself, only bin back hanging around for the last year and a bit, got the email they were gonna delete my account if i didnt sign in within 30 days so signed in and caught up haha havent posted a fish picture since ive bin back, like you say someone finds out you ate a fish and they lose their mind... had bin posting hunting pics, though may not next year... had a certain outfitter pm me telling me i should be ashamed for shooting a small bear...

not even an update from rob 2126 or any of the other winter warriors this year...
