that sucks but I would imagine you can work something out. Maybe split the difference if you feel the work was legit but he just didn't call you?

how come Bill Clinton was celebrated for his lying and indiscretions?

dang shame. Really liked the no nonsense no gravy train Rob...its the train-wreck Rob that is disappointing me.

I've always supported him but he sure is making it difficult.

...haha I like that. Since I don't have time to buy them before Saturday, it will be keychain rings and rubberbands. why does anyone think the keychain rings aren't as good as shower rings....just had a thought...the shower ones can clip onto the line much easier. I would think the shower ones are kind of flimsy though. Having never used or even seen a system in use, trying to figure it all out ahead. Those rings are gonna be a pain to "clip" onto the line now that I think and type at the same time. Sounds like a trip to Home Depot or Cdn. Tire is in order for some shower rings. Wife wouldn't be too impressed if she's showering with no curtain...although the neighbours might be.

Nice Wayne! Although my set up is far more ghetto...the mast itself was homemade by some guy. And here's the real ghetto part...I'm not crazy about shelling out $10-$12 a piece for each clip so I'm gonna try and make some from keychain rings and rubber bands. I rigged one up last night and to me, it seems like it will work. I am a bit compulsive about checking my lines,and with the floating weeds on st clair I will be doing it regularly...that means the need for like 20 clips! Gonna try my "jerry-rigged" version first. Rather buy a few hundred rubber bands for a dollar than 20 clips for $200 plus.

After some success with in-line planer boards for musky fishing I decided to pick up a mast system (thanks kijiji!) because in rough conditions the smaller boards would dive....man what a headache that is! The mast has maybe a 6 by 6 plate that it sits on, and has a 6x6 backing plate to secure it underneath (if that makes any sense). I'm hearing the furthest front is the best place to mount (my boat is 16.5 feet). So I'm thinking to mount it right up by the trolling motor at the front of the boat. It looks like that is plywood up there under the carpet. Is that gonna be the best spot and able to hold on to 2 Riviera boards with a few musky baits in tow? Or one day will the front of my boat, trolling motor and mast come flying back and smash my windshield? It seems like an ideal spot because the base won't get in the way on the days that I'm not using the mast. If that area isn't secure enough I am open to suggestions.

ditto what raf said. Once the water is in the 40's troll something that dives 20 feet in 19 to 21 feet of water! Get a good long leader so you don't fray your line especially if there any zebra mussels up there. If you are marking fish in deeper water (say 30 feet) I use a big storm jig while my buddy uses a bondy

...well the musky 500 was a wasteland when we were there. didn't see one boat do a single thing....and to make it more interesting there were a couple guys in float tubes floating around the "infield"

too bad I left town! Having said that, Penny always treated me well, did lots of special orders for me at a good price.

NICE! I was down there fishing the merry-go-round a few weeks ago with about 10 other boats and not a soul got even a sniff...guess a couple of weeks can make a BIG difference! Nice report and some beauty fish

glad to hear its fake. I'm thinking this guy is a HUGE loser. Like when has Hollywood EVER portrayed something accurately?

I caught almost all the games last year with Bell satellite. I dont have Raptors tv so basically only missed the games they aired

Nice! Congrats Mike.

Horrible news, so sorry to hear this. My condolences to all the family.

I tried Thames last week for the first time (got skunked as did the other 10 boats that were doing laps with me). Apparently that dirty water is nothing to be afraid of, the fish can be caught in 6 inch visibility water, they just didnt cooperate that day.

Good stuff Jimmer, sounds like a nice fish!

some gorgeous fish and a great trip I'm sure. Maybe you mean 16 for 23 though? If not, may I suggest hooks on your lures

Well I have my mid oct trip planned...its this week. Let me know what dates you choose and hopefully I can make it!

Aren't we doing a g2g on st. clair in a few weeks?

good idea...support gambling. Maybe next they can donate millions to drug addicts...or maybe they already do that.

wow that fish is ridiculous. Congrats on a fantastic catch

that was great! Nice video

some big pike around the islands

someone will lose control and launch themselves down to the bottom of the lake for a serious case of the bends on the way up
