All the best man, I hope everything works out

what is your fascination with Rapala lures!? LOL I believe they use VMC hooks, but I'm not 100% sure, it doesnt really matter what hooks you put on, I change most of my hooks to owners or Triple Grip hooks

I was also contemplating a move to AB, but I decided on BC instead (if indeed I do go). No bass in AB, lots of bass in BC 9-10 pound largies too!

We get em all the time through the ice, but they go right back down the hole. My g/f got a nice largie today

where was this? i'm itchin

last year i caught em good just using the tail of the gulp live minnows ... only about a 1/2 inch worth

nicely done as always

thanks for that. good link

I'm in Lindsay too, we had no power on Christmas Eve!!! I would assume you're east of the river? I know they've been without power for a bit

3 friends and I lol j/k I'm missing the opener this year, gotta do February instead. Ah well, Good luck to those that get up early

Go with the flow fella. contract work for now, we'll see how she pans out.

LOL

Haha, and you wonder why you got bad service. Bud I worked there for two years and just quit because the drive was too much. I was always willing to assist and share knowledge with customers. But let me tell you something, if you talked to me like that, I'd have been an arse right back.

4 walls buddy, 4 walls

what are you gonna do with a bunch of 7 pounders?? Honestly? Regs are in place for a reason, I wouldnt argue. If no one takes the small ones, then they reproduce so fast that the fish get stunted from over population and competition for food, then you'll have no big ones to catch. Keep some little ones for a while.

Ditto ... but he makes more money than me

Wrong Silva bud

My predictions are .... Griffin vs Evans ------ GRIFFIN decision Nogueira Vs Mir ------ Nogueira 3rd round TKO Jackson vs silva ----- Rampage by TKO 3rd round Dalloway vs Massenzio ----- Dollaway Decision Kongo vs Al turk ----- Al turk Ground and Pound TKO Okami vs Lister ---- Okami boring decision Hardonk vs Wessel ----- Hardonk TKO Hamill vs Andy ----- Hamill TKO Chonan vs Blackburn --- Chonan by decision Evensen vs Barry ----- PAt Barry by KO

one thing you'll learn over time, which I learned the hard way, is that you dont need every colour out there. I now stick to about 4 colours of each bait, and buy multiples of the same colour.

My g/f picked me up that same journal a couple years ago, I always enjoy reading over it when I cant hit the water

I dont get it. I used to feel bad for these people, but I'm growing insensitive I guess. It's all preventable

brookies baby!

IMO 20lbs braid is too light for a baitcaster ... thats only like 6 lbs diameter ... that can cause some serious birdsnests. I use 30 lbs braid on some spinning reels, I use nothing less than 40 lbs braid on baitcasters .... but overall I think a 14lbs fluoro is the best bet. I dont like braid as a "general" line, because some baits like spinnerbaits and crankbaits I believe require some stretch in the line.

Every situation calls for different lines ... My crankbait reel has 14 lbs fluoro My spinnerbait reel has 17 lbs fluoro My frog reel has 65 lbs power pro My flippin and pitchin reels has 50-65lbs power pro My topwater reel has 12 lbs mono

I believe its the riding my own train category
