Hello There i personally enjoy using Team Diawa Reels and G.Loomis Rods...... Heres a great combo in your price range give it a look... G. Loomis® GL2 Jig & Worm Series Daiwa® Accudepth Although almost any reel will work the rod has to have a backbone though....

Nice, do you think the Salmon are eating the Bass ....LOL

Nice

I put together some info to explain some of the more common features and functions you'll find on today's digital camera. enjoy ! Pixels and Resolution Digital images are composed of tiny units called pixels. Each pixel is distinct with it's own color and intensity. When resolution is discussed it refers to the number of pixels, or units of information, that make up the image. More pixels mean higher resolution. The larger the image, the more pixels are needed to give the image the clarity desired. Thus a 4x6 image requires fewer pixels for high quality than a 9x10 image. This is why a 3 megapixel camera may produce nice 4x 6 images but a camera with a 5 or 6 megapixel sensor may be need to produce a 9x10 image with similar quality. For casual users, cameras that offer a 10, 12, or higher pixel sensor are often not necessary. The additional pixels are useful primarily if you will be producing very large prints or perhaps when zooming or cropping photos a great deal as the additional pixels can help prevent excessive loss of quality due to these processes. In some instances, cameras that offer 12, 14, or more megapixels can be a problem. The average point and shoot digital camera has a small sensor. Say 1/2.5" or so. This doesn't generally change as they add in more pixels. Those pixels then get smaller as more are crammed onto the sensor. Smaller pixels gather less light. Therefore, these cameras can take poor quality low light and action shots. If you buy a camera with a high megapixel count, then the sensor will need to be larger to accommodate those pixels and create high quality images in these situations. Image Stabilization One of the most common problems casual photographers have is blurry, indistinct, or poorly focused pictures. This is often a result of unintended hand movement or shaking. The camera movement is especially evident when zooming in on something, when taking up close shots, or low light shots when the camera uses a slower shutter speed. Of course, using a tripod can eliminate this, but many of our shots are handheld. To offer at least a partial solution, digital camera features now often include some type of image stabilization. Some digital cameras offer optical image stabilization which is a mechanical process that helps to counteract this inadvertent camera movement to provide a clearer, more focused image. Other cameras offer digital or electronic image stabilization which is an electronic process. Some manufacturers call this anti-shake technology as well. Unfortunately the use of digital image stabilization can increase the "noise" in the resulting photograph. This noise makes the image look grainy. For this reason, true OIS is superior to digital IS. Image stabilization will not compensate for blurriness caused by the movement of your subject. If you want to capture a subject in movement without blurring, you would need a faster shutter speed. If your camera doesn't allow you to manually adjust the shutter speed you can often choose the action or sports shooting mode for better results. Zoom Zoom is one of the digital camera features that even most ultra compact cameras offer. Zoom allows the user to get a closer shot of subjects even when they can't physically get closer. Just as with image stabilization, digital cameras may offer either optical or digital zoom. In fact, many cameras will offer both. In such instances, your digital camera will generally use optical zoom to it's fullest range and then, if you continue to zoom, begin to utilize the digital process to produce an even greater zooming effect. Optical zoom will utilize the lens to magnify the image to bring you closer. The quality of the image that the camera produces will not deteriorate using optical zoom. On the other hand, digital zoom is an electronic process which crops the image and then enlarges the remaining portion to make it look as if you have zoomed in closer. Because the number of pixels in this portion of the image is not increased, the resulting image has lower resolution. For this reason, optical zoom is preferred as it doesn't erode image quality. The negative effect of digital zoom however, is generally noticeable only in larger prints or if you will be further cropping the image when you edit your pictures. Autofocus Autofocus is another extremely useful digital camera feature that allows even beginners to produce great images. Autofocus simply means that the camera will identify your subject and make adjustments to get the best focus. Typically, the camera will identify your subject as the item or person in the center of your shot. This focusing is the primary reason that many digital cameras have a delay between pressing the button and taking the photo. In most instances, it's appropriate to press the shutter button down half way to engage the autofocus, and then once this is done, to fully depress the button to capture the shot. In most instances, you can see what it has identified as the subject or point of focus, by a box that appears on the LCD screen as you first begin to press the shutter button. Some cameras also have what is called multi-point autofocus.These cameras will identify multiple points upon which to focus. The user can have the camera select the one it wants, or choose the one they wish for it to focus upon. This allows you to set focus on a subject that is not in the center of the shot. Red Eye Correction or Red Eye Reduction If you've viewed informal photographs of people, or pets, then you've probably seen the red-eye effect. Red-eye is the result of the flash reflecting off of a person, or pet's eye. Getting your subjects to avoid looking directly into the camera can help to eliminate this problem. However, getting small children and pets to avert their eyes isn't always possible. Luckily many digital cameras now offer red eye reduction. This is an automatic feature that allows the camera to make adjustments to prevent red eye effect in your photos. Some cameras provide red eye correction or removal in the editing phase as well. Even if your camera doesn't have this feature, many editing programs allow you to perform this function as well. Shooting and Scene Modes Getting the right focus and exposure on a given shot may require some adjustments based on the situation. For instance, the shutter speed for a night shot may need to be slower than for a shot taken during the day time in order to get enough light. In addition, the lens aperture (opening) may need to be wider for the same reason. White balance, sensitivity and so forth may also need adjustment to get the kind of image you want. Luckily for casual users, the average digital camera features include a variety of shooting and scene modes to make this easy. Users who want more control in creating their photographs can use the manual mode or perhaps an aperture priority or shutter priority mode when desired. For the rest of us, scene modes and shooting modes allow us to make the necessary adjustments with the press of a single button. Beach, snow, night, night portrait, portrait, landscape, action/ sports, pets, and so forth are common modes you'll find on a camera. Video mode is a newer option but obviously it allows users to capture movies. Most of these modes are fairly self-explanatory but a few may need further description. Macro mode is useful when focusing on subjects up close. All cameras have a range at which they can focus. Typically 3 feet is about as close as you can get without things getting out of focus. Using macro mode however, you can often get within a few inches and still get a quality image. Burst mode gives users the ability to take several shots in rapid sequence without having to press the shutter button each time or waiting for the camera to store each image. This mode is perfect when trying to take pictures of movement. Burst mode is also called Continuous Shooting Mode. If you know the types of shots you'll be taking, then you can check to be sure the camera you're considering has just such a mode to give you the best results. ISO In digital photography ISO relates to the sensitivity of the image sensor to light. Generally speaking a lower ISO setting results in very little "noise" in your photograph. Lower settings are fine when there is good lighting. However, when there is less lighting, a higher ISO setting is needed; as well as a slower shutter speed and wider aperture potentially. Most compact digital cameras can make these adjustments automatically or manually. If you will be taking low light or night shots, it can be important to select a camera that has a high ISO setting available; ISO 3200 or better. To learn more about ISO settings and noise, you can review this article. Metering Modes A function on your digital camera that most casual photographers will leave set on automatic is the metering mode. Metering mode basically determines how your camera will expose a picture. Within a scene there may be a range of lighting. For instance, you may be standing in a room with low lighting and shooting toward an area of the room with a lamp or a window nearby that has greater lighting. The camera has to decide which area of the shot to expose correctly. It often takes an average of the areas. This is known as zone or multi-segment metering. Many cameras however can also use spot metering where the camera is told to choose it's exposure based on a particular spot within the scene; this may be in the center of the scene or it may be off-center. This can be a fairly precise method of determining exposure and can give great results when there are dramatic differences in the lighting within a scene. Center-weighted metering, as the name would imply, determines the exposure based on the lighting present in the center of the shot. White Balance Different sources of light have different color characteristics. Some lights, like incandescent, have a red cast, often giving photos a more yellowish appearance. Fluorescent light on the other hand has more blue cast. Luckily your digital camera features include White Balance which is how your camera attempts to eliminate any unnatural cast from the various light sources. Auto white balance will make all of the decisions for you, and in many shooting situations it can do a good job. However, many point and shoot cameras also offer white balance presets, that allow you to make adjustments with the press of a button. Tungsten, sunny, cloudy, fluorescent and others are among the selections. Of course, for those who are more skilled, many digital cameras also allow you to manually adjust the white balance. You can find some help in doing this by reviewing this article. In some instances, rather than achieving the perfect white balance a user may want a particular color cast to their photograph for creative purposes. Adjusting the white balance can allow this as well. Of course, many image editing programs also allow you to adjust white balance or add filters to achieve similar results. Face Detection Face detection or face recognition has become one of the more popular digital camera features in recent years. It allows the camera to identify faces in a shot and to automatically adjust the focus, flash, and exposure to get the best shot of your subjects. If your camera has a tracking function then it will be able to place priority on a particular face within a group or crowd. Smile and Blink Detection Smile and blink detection can help casual photographers be sure the human subjects they photograph are captured while looking their best. The camera is able to detect when a smile occurs, focus, and take the picture at just the right moment. If a camera has this feature, you can turn it off if you don't choose to use it. Generally, blink detection is a feature that simply allows your camera to detect when a subject has blinked as the photograph was being taken. It alerts the photographer of this on the LCD screen so that they know to re-shoot the photograph to get the results they want. Some cameras handle this differently, for instance they may also automatically shoot the second picture when a blink occurs rather than just alerting you to the situation. Users would need to review their user's manual to know exactly how this feature functions on their particular camera. Noise Reduction As we described above, noise can erode the quality of a photograph by introducing artifacts or a graininess to images. Noise can come from the internal electronic components of the camera or high light sensitivity among other things. Many image editing programs allow you to reduce this noise to improve image quality. Among common digital camera features however is a noise reduction function too. It can be useful, especially in low light shots when higher ISO settings (sensitivity) are needed. However, if you are shooting in normal lighting or up close, it can decrease the clarity and detail of the photograph. Some cameras have this as an automatic function but some offer it as a user controlled feature. Sweep Panorama Some digital cameras now offer a "Sweep Panorama" mode. This feature is designed to make capturing true panoramic images much easier. With this mode the camera will capture images continuously as you sweep a scene and will automatically "stitch" those images together to create a panoramic image. Back Illuminated Sensors This isn't a feature as much as it is a part of some digital cameras. A backlit or back illuminated sensor will provide much greater light sensitivity without increasing noise or artifacts in the resulting images. This means that when you are shooting in low light particularly, your images will have better clarity and more brightness. Many high ISO settings help a digital camera pick up light in these situations but because of excessive noise, the images are still poor, these back illuminated sensors help remedy this problem.

98% True good way to laugh it up in the A.m. How about those 500series Hwys i heard they are gonna have a toll charge ?

Algonquin Park Oh What a place! My wife and i had our honeymoon up there at a place called Couples Resort We rented an ATV and a canoe + trailer and went too some remote locations An excellent time we had both fishing and the wilderness.. On Day 3 we were trekking through a remote location an my wife had just put away the camera because it was bouncing of her chest and few minutes later crackle pop this huge Moose appears in front of us we freeze it stares at us for about 30 seconds and he traughts along and back into the bush. As i pee my pants we carried on......

Hi Everyone, i decided i would share a couple of pics last winter (2011) of a couple of shots.... Both shots are real they are NOT Photoshopped. The trick i used in the cup consisted of bird seeds and a couple of worms....

Rehabilitating the Moon River Walleye Biologists continue to monitor the waters of Eastern Georgian Bay's Moon River near Parry Sound to see what effect more than 1,000 tonnes of rock will have on local walleye populations. The goal is to increase populations of this and other river-spawning fish species. Close up of an adult walleye - Photo: Matt Garvin/MNR In the fall of 2008, 1,100 metric tonnes of rock were brought in to create 1,500 square metres of new spawning and nursery habitat. Contractors placed 35 clusters of large boulders topped with cobble rock on the south shore below the Moon River falls and added granite rubble to the north shore. This enlarged the known historic walleye spawning and egg incubation areas already there nearly 30 times; biologists also hope to provide new spawning habitat for lake sturgeon, a threatened fish species in Ontario which still spawns, in small numbers, in the Moon River. Water levels in the Moon River fluctuate drastically from mid-April to late May, when walleye and sturgeon spawn. When the water flows fast and high, spawning adult walleye have to struggle upstream and incubating walleye eggs are dislodged. When water levels drop, the eggs are left high and dry. The new layer of rocks and rubble is designed to ensure the Moon River provides suitable spawning and nursery habitat for walleye and other fish species over a wider variety of water depth and flow conditions Visit www.helpourfisheries.com for more information about the work being done to rehabilitate the Moon River walleye. Click here to view a map of the project area About the Moon River Walleye: • In the first half of the 20th century, the Moon River had an international reputation for its magnificent walleye fishery and trophy-sized fish. • The Moon river walleye population began declining in the late 1960s. By the 1990s, the river's previous population of 30,000 walleye had dwindled to a few thousand fish. • Many factors contributed to the decline of the Moon River's walleye populations, but in the lead was lack of water flow in spawning areas due to upstream hydro power generating practices. Recent efforts to enlarge spawning habitat on the Moon River are designed to lessen this impact. • Throughout the 1980s, and to the present day, the Ministry of Natural Resources and its partners have worked tirelessly to improve spawning and nursery habitat below the Moon River falls where it empties into eastern Georgian Bay. • The Eastern Georgian Bay Stewardship Council is planning similar rehabilitation projects at Eastern Georgian Bay's Musquash and Magnetawan rivers in the future.

Lost Lake All the cottages and the main lodge are located along almost 1200 feet of shoreline on beautiful Lost Lake. This main lake is the first place to start fishing while honing your skills for the many other lakes yet to be explored. Most folks will fish for pike and small mouth bass during the day time and save the walleye fishing experience until after supper. Bass are easily caught in late day too using surface tackle rather than spoons or spinners preferred during the day time. The range in depth is from 12 feet to 40 feet on average. There are spots where the bottom comes within five feet of the surface and are excellent places for walleye fishing late day. Lost Lake itself is the staging point to access many more lakes and is considered the most important lake to learn. From Lost Lake, people gain access to Wigwam and Bloom lakes as well as two "walk to" trout lakes and another walleye and pike lake to the south. Wigwam Lake Wigwam Lake is the middle lake on your way north to Hodge lake. It's average depth is 40 feet with some places much shallower, good for jigging for walleye on an overcast day or especially after supper fishing. Wigwam is about two and a half miles long and nearly three quarters of a mile wide at it's widest. Lost Lake flows into the south end of Wigwam. This is probably the best walleye and bass fishing spot for after supper fishing. Three species are available in Wigwam with Walleye and bass being the main ones. Pike are here too but not in the numbers or size of some of the other lakes. The creek flows to Bloom Lake at the north end of Wigwam and this is the access waterway to Bloom. While boating north from Wigwam, there is a marked landing where you park then walk around a beaver dam and rapids to more boats and motors. Gas is brought with you in a small wheel barrow or wagon to make the five minute walk even easier. Bloom Lake This six plus mile long lake is surely one of the best northern pike lakes in the north. For over two decades our guests have fished using "Catch and Release" technics only. Virtually every fish taken has been put back into the lake, after the much revered "Smiley face" photograph to prove that such monsters still do exist. Calcite Lake This lake is about a mile and a half long and quite narrow in some spots. It has proven to be a very good lake for both walleye and pike. It's an easy walk to lake at the end of a short trail. In wet weather you'll need weatherproof footwear because there are some soggy spots en route. Gas must be hand carried but a part tank will keep you fishing all day. Leta Lake Speckled trout are in good supply in this very clear lake. Specs are also called Brook Trout by our southern United States neighbors. The walk in is about half an hour. The trail is well signed with teaching plaques all along the way. Learn about everything from moose, wolves and black bear to flora indiginous to the region. Sigs Lake This speckled (brook) trout lake is about a half hour walk from the landing in Lost Lake with a well marked trail all the way. The best fishing is from shore in several distinct spots. Flatstone Lake This Rainbow trout lake is just beautiful with maybe the most difficult to catch strain of trout around. A really good day is possibly three trout per person but the experience will never be forgotten. Leroy Lake Small mouth bass are in great supply in this lake. It can be reached easily by car or if you'd like, we will drive you there and pick you up again. Everett Lake Both pike and bass abound in this long thin lake. Again, it is easily reached by car or we will take you there and pick you up. Miller Lake Miller is all about lake trout. A difficult lake to fish unless you know the secrets. We will take you there and pick you up or you can come and go using your own vehicle.

Hi peeps, I came across this video of a 65Lb Muskie caught in Kingston Ontario In the 1000 islands area, the reason i wanted to share this video is the angler that caught this fish has RESPECT for fishing. Watch the video you will understand what i mean.....decided to release and NOT Kill the fish for the sense of glory and fame ! How Big was Perry's Fish ?? Cheers!

Hey there try this, Yummy in my tummy enjoy !

Simply Outstanding ! Dan

Hello Everyone, just want to share my morning. Went out to a local river, through on brown stone fly and bang This was the outcome. This is my first from this river, i feel as my first Salmon landed this year i feel i caught this late....LOL Here is some raw footage of the takedown, It put a smile on my face as i said Good Morning.....enjoy ! Fish On Pt-1 Fish On Pt-2

Yes usually its enough and maintains but a few rocks and thick vegatation, he must of snagged up against a rock

To Power up the wiper motor your going to need to supply it 12Volts. To do this you will need a 12V Power Supply you can buy one here Power Supply Install the timer and adjust the transmission arm to the door presto..... Let me know if you need any guidance happy to help...

Hey Dan, sounds like perhaps Lake trout ?

Bye Bye Quinte Walleye Next question is, when are they going to do the same thing to the rest of the dams on the Trent River. While they're at it, they might as well build fences down the sides or just block off all access completely. That would protect us right??? I wonder if they considered how many more people are going to start using the train bridge now. I know they do now, you can see their trail. There's going to be a whole bunch more now I bet. That sounds safe. I don't know who built these, if it was Quinte West, Parks Canada or who, but I'd sure like to write a letter of disgust to someone right now and tell them to shove their rules and barbed wire fence right up their ass instead of down our throats like usual. It is unfortunate about the deaths that have occurred at this dam. But what's next to protect us? Barbed wire fences across public roads because people die in car accidents? If you want to stop people going out on the piers, simply put a better stop on the piers themselves. If you want to block people from crossing the dam, build a proper footbridge across the river close to this area as they have in Peterborough. Sorry for the rant. I'll do better if I find out who to direct this to. In the meantime, anyone got a gas powered steel saw I can borrow...so i can fish Walleye again!

Amazing Aperture Love The Pic !

Awesome Shots Dave, Are you using SLR ?

Hey peeps, just want to share my day My day started out by going to Oshawa Harbor around 5am and throwing glow spoons seen alot jump no luck. I headed down to the Marina and landed a 8lb pike on a zara, as i saw all kinds of Salmon showing there presence. I decided, to switch it up, passion kicked in since i already had all my gear i headed out to Peterborough, This is where i saw the monster, It came up for my Zara Spook and he missed it i saw the fish over 6lb SMB i quickly through it back in no luck grabbed my flipping jig setup and threw in i was wearing polarized glasses i can see the fish by the weedline and bang he zoned down and inhaled it came up and danced he went back down and see ya later....i only had PP 30Lb not the 65Lb setup like my topwater So the day went i fished all down the Ottanobee Catching and releasing 8 more bass under 4Lbs had a great time fishing all day, enjoyed the beautiful glass like waters of the ottanobee 4pm came packed up and headed home. I was very happy to see the spot was holding and the vegetation was still green...

If you are a little mechanically inclined you could go to the auto wreakers and pick up any Wiper motor and the transmission for it... The transmission is the linkage arm of the wiper....

Hi Oliver, Your lucky to be living so close to one of the best Salmon Run Rivers, Fish in the Morning Between 3-7am with Little Cleo 3/4 Size Glow In The Dark Spoon In either Green Or Blue Fishing is pretty good all day however you will have to deal with the masses...Good Luck ! The Map
