Good Morning. Once again we are having some fine weather here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is shinning, with a bit of haze. It will be very warm once again today, but then … things start to change for the better. Meaning it will cool down some. Which is okay by me, as I am not a lover of the really hot weather. And on top of that, I would like to do some fishing, now that I have my boat and motor almost ready to go. And a place to clean the fish we catch, as I finished up my new fish cleaning station that I have been working on for the past two days. It’s amazing what you can do if you just do it. I didn’t have any plans to work with and just went with it, and it turned out pretty nice. If I do say so myself. LOL Today my lovely wife and I have mowing to do, which we will get to shortly, before it gets to hot. After that we will see. I am thinking I will see if my old motor on the boat will start, as I haven’t had it running for almost two years. And if things goes to plan, I will hook up my old fish finder. Not that I really use it that much, but it is nice to know where the shoals are, as that is usually where the good size fish hang around. Not on top, but around the edges. But you all know that, right? LOL, Highway 522 is still very busy these days, which is to be expected, since we opened things back up and allowed people in from other countries. And they are coming … in droves. Let’s hope things work out for the best. With that, I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal, which has a lot of good in it for staying healthy. Take care and stay safe. GW

Fishing Times: Today, my old weather stick is saying that the best times to be catching fish will be between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. Then again a bit later on in the day between7:30 PM and 9:00 PM. It won’t be the greatest day for fishing as all this hot weather has made them lazy along with hiding down deep where it is cool. But you never know. I give it a 1-star rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good Luck! GW

Good Morning! It looks like we are in for another hot day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is red, which is a sign that things are going to get a bit warm. We should see some reprieve in a couple of days. Which is okay with me as being so hot it is hard to even do some front porch sittin’ Highway 522 is still very busy these days and I suspect it will remain that way until the kids are back in school. Which I don’t think is a good idea, as a lot of them aren’t vaccinated for this virus. The numbers are rising every day now since we opened back up. We are up over the 700 a day now. Kind of a shame, as we did have it under control. Another month and we would have been in a lot better shape. But it’s par for the course these days. On another note, I worked building a fish cleaning station yesterday and darn near finished it. I made it out of left over material that I had lying around. It turned out pretty nice too. Today I will stain the bottom of it and move it to where we want it. That should keep me busy for most of the day. It’s nice doing these kinds of projects. Things that we wouldn’t usually do for ourselves. I will post a picture when all said and done With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. Take care and stay safe. This is no time to let down your defences, that’s for sure. GW

Fishing Times: My old weather stick is saying that fishing will be the best from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM and then later on from 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM. Good luck and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It looks like we are going to have another hot day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature getting out of bed wasn’t so bad, sitting at18.8 C | 65.84 F. But that will change as the temperature will rise as the day progress’s. And with hot weather like this, we could see a thunderstorm thrown in for good measure later on. It looks like we will have another 3 days of this heat before things start to cool down a bit. I have to admit, I am not a lover of this heat. Highway 522 is still busy with lots of new faces around town. Home Hardware was so busy yesterday, people were lined up at the cash register. Which in turn states that our small community is getting busier and busier every year. Along with new folks buying up pretty well anything and everything. Is it a good thing? Time will tell. Yesterday in the morning I decided to put up another outside light on the side of our cottage by the barbecue along with a plug and an on and off switch. That way, if folks decide to have a barbecue late in the day, they will have light to see what they are doing. The plug is for the Grill Rotisserie, or what ever. It took me all morning and a bit of the afternoon. After that we chatted to our son on the phone for a spell, had a shower and relaxed. Today, I plan on starting to build a fish cleaning station onto the side of our shower house, that my wife and I built earlier in the year. I have a few ideas in mind, so we will see how that pans out. If it gets to hot later on, I will call it a day. With that I am off for some pancakes my lovely wife is making me and will then get to work. Have a great day and stay safe. GW

Fishing Times: Today, my old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there fishing will be from 12:00 PM – 2:30 PM. Then again later on from 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM. In spite of the heat, the fishing could be very good later on in the day. I give it a 5-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. There should be no problem catching a few for the table today. But then again … you never know. Oh, and it might pay to take a rain coat with you if you’re out on the water and of course your hat. We don’t want anyone getting wet or sunstroke. LOL Good Luck!

Good Morning. It’s another nice looking morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Other than being a touch warm. There are heat warnings up for the next couple of days. Today we could see temperatures reaching near the 95 Degree F mark or 35C. With the humidity, it will feel even warmer. Might pay to keep the drapes in your home closed this morning to keep out the heat. Just a thought. Highway 522 is very busy these days. Yesterday, my wife and I managed to get the mowing all done in the morning. I then did some repair work on some equipment in the afternoon until it got to hot. Today being so hot, I am going to stain the back deck. In doing so, it will dry nicely. That I will do this morning while it isn’t so bad outside. Then I am thinking I will just take it easy for the rest of the day. Maybe have a cool drink with my lovely wife under a shade tree later on. The good news is my wife and I are slowly getting everything done up that we wanted to do this year, and then some. Once it cools down some, we will be taking some time off from things to do some fishing, and taking in what nature has to offer out on the water. Looking forward to it. With that, I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal and will then see what the day has in store. You never know. Take care and stay safe.

Fishing Times: The best times to be out there today will be from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM and then again from 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM. I give it a 3-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. The best place to find them would be in the shady areas along the shore lines. Also, make sure, if you’re out on the water, you bring along lots of drinking water and wear a hat. Good Luck!

Good Morning! It’s another nice day here in Port Loring, Ontario, other than being at touch warm. Waking up, the temperature was sitting at17.9 C | 64.22 F. It will actually become quite hot later on in the day, and this heat ridge will last for the next 5 days. At least that is what it is looking like now. Tomorrow we could reach as high as 90 F/32C. Maybe even higher. So a cool place would be the place to find for the next few days. Highway 522 is still busy. I also see a lot of Americans now back up in the north, checking out their cottages. Yesterday, my wife and I went to North Bay for some groceries. Lots of people shopping. We picked up what we needed and headed on back home. We had a nice day. Furthermore, we also noticed that the leaves on the trees are starting to turn colour. Actually, they started to turn a week ago. A touch early this year. I guess they need a rest. Can’t say I blame them as we have had a busy year too. It also should be noted that this is one of the best years without a lot of them blood sucking parasites bothering us humans. The heat makes short work of them. Today is mowing day for my lovely wife and I, which we want to get done before it gets to hot. So with that in mind I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store other than what we have planned. We always start off in one direction, but … you never know. Take care and stay safe. GW

Fishing Times: The best time to be out there fishing will be from 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM, and then later on in the day from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM. I give it a 3-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good Luck!!
