Cool pics!

Segar, very smooth, and easy to cast. Expensive but I feel its worth it.

Great feedback thanks!

A little Shake N Bake! LOL!

I will raise my kids with a competive and winning attitude, I want them to be the best! This is a big probelem today kids are not competive enough! Maybe this a reflection of one's upbring but that's the way I have been raised, and I would like to think that this attitude makes me who I am today! Its very competitve out in the real world, don't make them affraid of competion you should embrass it!

Fisherman that topic came up last night in a meeting. Unfortunelty Bass boats aren' the only one's, what about the jet skiers roaring up and down the lake. Fisheman everyone has different reasons, hobbies, and recreational activities. We should all respect eveyone right to do enjoy by there own means espically on a public lake that know one owns. Just because you have a cottage on a lake surely doesn't mean you own the lake. It works both ways, I have no problem with the roaring jet ski's they have the right to be on the lake just as much as I do, or anyone else for that matter. Voicing your hate to those idiots with 200 HP boats, doesn't justify you not get bite my friend. If you think for one minute that you know it all, and blame the raoring bass boats, your not catching fish maybe you should educate yourself a little more. I have a cottage on Couch, its a busy lake with tons of boat traffic, and jet skiers. The boat traffic and the waves they create actually help the fishing becasue it stirs up the bottom and bait fish begin to feed on the hiding craws, minnows, planqton, etc. Try fishing those stired up area's you might be surprised!

This questions pops in my head continuously since I am a competive tournament angler that supports two major tournament series and dierctor of a bass club. My conclusion is that the focus should be towards the new anglers that like to fish but don't have the means to learn or to be showen the ropes. The sport needs new blood, are we taking the right steps and attitude to attrack these new anglers? Attitude is everything, even just a smile, it makes people feel welcome. Attending different bass clubs and oragnizations I can see how attitude makes a club or organization grow or stunt its growth. Building a solid foundation of new anglers is to me the only way keep the sport alive and continue its growth. Without a solid foundation, the house will fall down, thus the sport will never grow. We MUST realize that we are in Canada folks there is no demand, and are market is small. Taking a look at our market in Canada the support leans towards a one day series in a small HP boat! I have a hard time coming to terms with it myself but it is the truth unfortunetly. We sometimes forget about the little people that's Ok because it human nature. I would like to know how others feel about this subject and would appreaciate any imput on how to create a demand in the sport fishing?

I had a blast, the BBQ was the deal! The sausages hit the spot! I can't wait for the pizza, calamari, and cold cut platers! I am get hungry already! Frank Adamo

Congrats to my pal Mark Kulik! Definetly well deserved! Can't wait to stylen in the new wrap!

Well, I have always liked the show because I am a fishing nut! Tons of tackle, and some interseting new products. I feel the show has gone down in attendance than in past years. Sure BPS has affected the show, but if your a true fishing nut you know that BPS don't have everything. I am always looking for new lures and soft plastic that are not available to the general public. There are lots of new baits at the show. Check out the "Slammers" made by Strikezone , there a awesome drop shot bait! If you love smallies on simcoe these baits are deadly! So did anyone see any new baits or products that I should know about?

Chris, I will be bringing 200 spiduch for the BBQ on sunday. I'll make sure I don't forget the sea salt, mmmm! My mouth is watering already!

Nice EYE"S! The night bite can be awesome. Keep hammering those Eye's!

I'll be on the BBQ, can't wait, its gona feel like summer! Ya Right!lol!

That walleye was 14lbs, the biggest one of the year was 17lbs. There is some real hoggs in that lake! Clampet I am not much of a meat hunter myself, I much rather enjoy the fight of the fish and release them back into the lake. But those walleye sure do taste good! And not to mention the Perch and crappie they are my favorite! When's the fish fry?

Here a pic from late December 2006 walleye fishing on The Bay! So how was the year for the walleye guy's?
