All Activity

Ooooh! Interested, got some pics?

I think it’s the weight spooks them and changes the action…especially when they’re being fussy already.

Got mine. Thanks for the reminder

I have the heavy hitters that are 1/4 " . These sink very fast .

I'm curious, why do you think that is? My first thought would be the action of the jig but maybe they're spooked by the weight or extra jig. Have you considered getting the exact same jig but next size heavier like from 1/16 to 1/8?

Cool man! I still have the ones you sent me in my arsenal, they are killer when the fish go dormant/neutral/finicky, I just wish they were heavier, as the crappie here are usually 18’ to 33’ feet deep and don’t respond the same if I add weights or double jigs.

Thanks Simon . Been crazy busy with orders .

got it, went in with Safari, no issues

G'day and welcome.

I just bought my 3y regular lic. In case I fish GB for Muskie.

Welcome and post a report of your next trip for those that can’t get out. We like pics.

You certainly shouldn't have to wait until the New Year. Are you running a VPN?

just tried to reapply for next year and it wouldn't let me purchase anything. Whats up with that? do I have to wait until January1st?

Welcome Noah.

Made it out from 2pm till 4pm, actually made it out by 1pm but had to take some time to check the ice as i'd not been to this lake so far this year. There was 13" in the access bay but that always freezes first so I walked all the way to where it opens out to the main body and there was around 8"....good to go! Bite didn't start till 3pm. I missed a bunch and landed a few in a fun hour, they were definitely hitting the plastics with more enthusiasm than live minnows. We have a storm rolling in here so I left before dark as it was already whiteout conditions and I did not want to navigate 10 miles of unstated lakes in the dark in a blizzard, glad I left when I did as it was 5 feet visibility all the way back.

I love fishing crappies, unfortunately I don’t know that area…. Tight lines! Oh, maybe check out the member ‘Misfish’ and his panfish bugs…crappie love ‘em.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks for the reply I will definitely hold off for a bit until the lake freezes up completely.

Sent you a dm. Don't go too soon...as of this afternoon the main basins still had open water.

Hi all - I am planning on targeting crappie for the first time through the ice on Bobs lake this year and am wondering if anyone has some suggestions on types of structure to target and a general area on the lake that would be worth while. Don't need anyone's specific spots just looking for some general advice on how to approach the lake.

Welcome aboard!

Hello Ontario Fishing Community, my name is Noah and i'm from Ottawa originally now based in Toronto. Since moving to Toronto I have been getting into Salmon and Steelhead fishing since I was never able to target those fish back home. Always looking to meet new people out on the water and if anyone is looking for new fishing partners let me know. I fish year round and target pretty much all species found in Ontario.

After two weeks of applying multiple layers of Birchwood/Casey's Tru-Oil daily I have finally boxed and wrapped up the Christmas gift knives I made for my daughter's. There are indeed a number of minor flaws on both handles that I will address going forward on future knife builds but I am overall happy with the end results. I didn't designate either knife outright, I will let them choose between themselves who gets the Red package and who gets the Green one.

Thanks again for the kind words . Busy with some new stuff . SQUIGS and HEAVY HITTERS Squigs are made of a soft gummy material the fish will hold on to . Same 7/32 tungsten beads on size 8 & 10 2X jig hooks . Ice grub heavy hitters are 1/4" tungsten glow beads on #8 2X jig hooks More to come . Just getting started on a few others .

Well I have a beautiful selection that I bought from you last year and I kicked ass with them. I have never had anything that worked so well! My biggest problem is that I used to outfish most of my buddies until I started (loaning) them out, and I never got them back😊. Not only are they the most effective baits I have ever used, they are truly works of art. I really wish I had your talent.
