Yes ive been through many reels myself as well,and i learned something because of that,you only get what you pay for !!!!!...i still have a shimano stradic 2000 thats at least 18yrs old,i have had it repaired once,and it still works like a charm,not as brand new but theres sure alot of memories of big fish i caught using it too,lots of boat rash,and wear & tear,but hopefully it will still keep ticking for several more years..so now i buy better more expensive reels and its true,they are still made very well,and stand up better to years of punishment !!!! cheers well be happy now you can go get a real nice brand new shinny reel !!!!

Those live target,koppers baits [crankbaits] are so real its unbelieiveable,ive never seen anything look that good,the thechnology is amazing,i cant wait to use them this spring,ill let the walleyes tell me what they think of them,they sure have been selling fast,i heard that soon they will be very hard to get and they might start selling them on e-bay for big bucks,if the americans get hold of them they will all be gone

this has been a sore spot for several years now,and it seems that niether government wants to do anything about it,and lakes just keep getting lower & lower,i see it everytime i go out on lake ontario,that 2007 was the lowest ever in over 150 yrs of the levels being checked,its not good news at all....

I would say its about a 50/50 split,from all the boats i see salmon fishing all summer,between saltys & scotty strikers,they are both very good at what they were designed for but i think the strykers distribute the weight more evenly,check out the members post with the picture it says it all !!!!! big holder for big heavy rods,they work great,thats why i have them cause of all the years my friends have had them and used tyhem with no problems,they are tought big time !!!

There was some for sale in our classifieds very recently,im not sure yet if they are sold or not,but at least get 2 matching !!!!i have big-jons myself,so good-luck oh ya there is another fishing site you might try for riggers,4 sale its www.spoonpullers.com its a site just for salmon fishing lake ontario,and they always have lots of salmon fishing tackle,and riggers for sale...just trying to help

I love the ottawa river,its so loaded with fish,its the best spot in the world,everything is big in that river,and its still a very wild and untamed river,like it should be,thats why the fishing is so good,i have fished in 2 of those spots and caught a 25lb sturgeon right off those rocks...great pictures i wish i could be there alot more often !!!!

Great shots everyone !!!! i was watching it outside at work,seen the whole thing it was amazing and very clear that night too

Amazing pictuers,man i love lake ontario !!!!...all summer long i see sunrises & sunsets while salmon fishing !!!!

Thats gonna be a sweet ride man congrats !!!!. ..and those yamaha engines look mean just sitting there,it will rock your world for sure !!!...hang on tight...cheers,and oh ya show us some pics too,we love to see them

Greatvideo & even better catch !!!! well i guess we know whats for dinner tonight ....well done cheers

Those tekotas are a great reel,for the money there is none better ,my charter fishing buddy bought 10 of them a few years ago,and they all work amazing even with wire line,the drag system is second to none,they can handle a salmon doing a 300yrd run at 20mph,with ease,good choice lew....those muskies better watch out !!!!!

Hey lew i might be going on wednesday myself,if i do i will pm you and we could meet up,and take it all in !!!! cheers

Yes i know its almost spring but everytime i look out the door at all that snow,it seems so far away !!!!,nand i know my boat misses me i can hear her saying im lonley,she needs to be home in my driveway !!!!! man im loosing it arent i ?????..... nice pics eveyone,man i look forward to all that fun again !!!!

Hey thats me except,i was using a spinning reel instead !!!!.LOL..LOL..LOL dam winter,that second pic is what it looked like outside my house yesterday...ggrrrrrrrrr I HAVE CABIN FEVER SOOOO...BAAADDD....I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE,IM GONNA EXPLODE !!!!!

Man Thats So COOL !!!!!! ...i wish i had one of those puppies,man bring on the snow !!!!...theres nothing like a chevy 350 cid smallblock v8,pumping out 300hp... .you could shoot that crap 1000ft no problem. .LOL..LOL..LOL thanks for the sunday funny !!!! cheers

Nice report & great fish-porn !!!!.. .thats some real nice niagara steel for sure,well done,and fishing through all that nasty weather really payed off....cheers

It would be a shame to have that awesome new lund with MANUAL RIGGERS !!!!!...to besuccesfull at salmon fishing,you dont want to be widing up a manual rigger while fighting a 25lb king !!!!!...it doesnt work very well,as well as driving through 5ft swells......its a no brainer !!!!

Same here April 1st for me to port dalhousie !!!!!!.....cheers

And check the batteries in your smoke detectors too !!!!!!...very important everyone....cheers

TOO FUNNY..LOL..LOL..

COOL INVENTION !!!!...I WANT ONE...

Well scottys will handle 30lb salmon,they will sure hold for a muskie !!!!...ive been using them for years,and they are plenty strong enough ...

Well you are going to be digging yourself out tommorow for a while mike !!!,its pretty crappy here to,but to the east and the ottawa valley are going to get up to 60cm's !!! by the time its all done,it seems like spring is never comming,man last year i got my boat from storage on march 17th !!!! well i dont think thats going to happen this yeari was fishing on the first weekend in april in my boat last year.....come on spring !!!! hey mike when its all done snowing down your way send us a few pics of all the aftermath....cheers bud

Yes crotch lake has produced some very big pike for the size of the lake,my friend fishes there in the summer and i have seen some pike close to 20lbs, it would be my choice for sure,and catch & release keeps them getting bigger and bigger as he and his dad have fished there for over 40yrs,and when his dad first started there they never got a pike for over 10lbs or so !!!! so its proof that letting the big ones go pays off,so good luck in your choice as they are alll very good fish holding bueatifull shield lakes !!!!!....cheers

Nice winter steel for sure !!!!. ..great pics too....cheers
