Took this picture this morning with my little p & s and was surprised at the detail that came out. I was just resting the camera on the deck railing so there's movement with the camera but it looks good for just fooling around. You can even see the ridges of the craters on the outside edges.

I choose a lefty reel. Usually go right with spinning got advice to go left. Hope that was correct info!! my yard is pretty big so I should be go to go to practice back there.

When you start out with a bait caster make the best cast you can , then peel out another 30 ft of line and put 4 inches of electrical tape on the spool and reel it back in. It will stop bird nests and as you learn to cast better you just put the tape a little deeper. This is the best way to learn

Been thinking of getting a new toy for work and play for several years now. Finally took the plunge Just waiting on insurance to get done before I drive it home. That and they're still putting accessories on it. Say hello to my little friend. 😁 This bad boy is sure going to be some fun. Heat/AC w Climate control and heated seats is going to make getting to the fishing grounds a ton of fun. Still have to get a new trailer to haul it around and am putting a Fisher Trailblazer V-Plow on it for pushing the snow around. The 4.5'x6' power dump bed will be good for moving stuff around the cabin and has lots of room for fishing and camping gear for some epic ice fishing trips.

So try to keep this short...but guys that started baitcasting would cast and then switch hands to then reel. don’t ask my why they do this especially these days now that both handed baitcasters are available (back in the day reels only came one way) to this day it makes no sense to me, but with both handed baitcasters now available I think people that fish in this old traditional method will slowly disappear. I personally cannot reel comfortably with my left hand, so for me to have right handed spinning reels and then left handed casters makes no sense at all. I want to reel with my right hand all of the time so I do that. I guess some right handed folks never feel comfortable controlling their spool while baitcasting using their left hand, hence they want to control the spool with their dominant hand even if it means that they then have to reel with their left hand which is sometimes the opposite of the hand that they use for reeling spinning gear. im a real weirdo and it’s probably because of hockey? But I’m right handed in all things but hockey and batting while playing baseball and golf. Hence I can actually control a fishing rod comfortably with both hands. But don’t ask me to cast a rod from my right side, it feels super akward...unless that is of course while I am fly casting...because I fly cast right handed...I’m a mess lmao

Basically it's just a comfort thing, I am right handed, but all my reels were left hand retrieve, and all the baitcasters I learned on were right hand retrieve.

Thanks, I realize that smaller local shops can't carry everything but I would have thought that the manufacturer could give me the name (s) of some Canadian distributors, I did provide my full name and address.

Oh no, now I'm confused! 😂

we haven't had a "nice spring" in years... they've been mostly very cool to cold... I have a pic on my deck from May 9 last year covered in snow! And I'm only 30 min north of T.O.

Dara, I hear you can run them in the summer too. 😉

on a lighter note

Virtually every commercial vehicle on the road today has tracking systems built into the vehicle. I see nothing wrong or different in Dan's approach. And given that Dan's business is responsible for the employee, the vehicle and their actions, while driving his company truck, he needs to cover his behind or end up paying insurance through the ying yang.
