Haven't been down there in a few years but there were many points where you can surf fishing but if you don't have gear then I would head to Dana Point where there are many charters to choose from. Check Groupon before you head down and often there are deals for party boats heading out from there at very reasonable rates! Good luck and post pics!

We used to watch it all the time! RIP "Super Dave"!

Our weather just gets crazier & crazier but it's the winds that need to die down along with the colder temps! Hope that you & your family had a Great Holiday Season!

You'll love it! I put 600 hours over 4 years on one and it never gave me any issues other than having to change an impeller and performing regular maintenance!

Had to head up to Innisfil today so I stopped at a few Cook's Bay access points and it doesn't look good! The east wind was blowing pretty good and oddly the further north I went the less ice there was! And with the forecasted weather for the next couple of days is not going to help! We're going to have to wait a little longer Misfish! I guess if we're going anywhere this weekend we better go further north! LOL Stay safe out there!

Great job, looks mint! A Yamaha 4 stroke is awesome as well!

It's that time of the year! Safety should always be the #1 concern and always err on the side of caution! Sad none the less! Condolences to all the loved ones left behind!

Not sure how it will be after tomorrow's warm spell and rain! Be careful if you do go out! We're thinking of going out Sun. but quite a bit further north!

That's awesome! Love it! It should spray some kind of permanent dye!!!!

Great deal! I bought one last year at the same sale price and I already have one! LOL

Thanks Art, I did already have the question regarding spinning or baitcasting but the one about why pay for better quality equipment is good. Yeah, I'm working on something that can be part of a seminar, a display at a show and yeah maybe a booklet. Just to kinda answer some of the questions we hear again & again to help folks getting into the sport or looking to improve their angling results!

What happened to 'Who"? LOL

Thanks Art, I should have been more specific, more general questions about equipment such as: What is the best line to use? Should I buy a left handed or right handed retrieve baitcasting reel? Ones that you might hear again & again!

I am thoroughly impressed with the number of extremely knowledgeable anglers on this board! I trust that you can help me out! I'm working on a project and would like to know what is the most common question that you get asked by new or less experienced anglers? I appreciate all your feedback? Okay, I should have been more specific, more general questions about equipment such as: What is the best line to use? Should I buy a left handed or right handed retrieve baitcasting reel?

Awesome! Must be nice to live in God's Country!

Beautiful fish! Great write-ups!

Merry Christmas and Happy Healthy New Year to you as well JoePa!

Nice Brown!

Thanks for the reminder! DONE! BTW you don't have to register to comment, you can do so anonymously!

That's too funny!!!!

Beautiful looking truck! I'd stay off off lakes up here for a while!

Had a great time seeing and talking to everyone at the Canadian Ice Fishing Expo! Hope those that were able to take in my seminar enjoyed it, especially those who took pics of the spots on Lake Simcoe that I hi-lited on the screen shots of my Navionics app! LOL They are good areas!!!
