Sorry to hear this Maureen.

It is hard and you did the right thing.

Congrats on the new boat and all!

Man i'm jealous, i went through the uni app process almost 2 years ago and am hoping to get a boat soon as well. The only problem i have is that there's no where to park it. I guess i'll have to stick with my canoe for now.

I don't know much about boating stuff since i don't own one, one thing i thought of tho, is to get good quality lifejackets. It is a safety concern and i'd suggest you not to get the cheap ones. They are usually bulky and they get uncomfortable if you stay on the water for quite a while (plus you have to cast and such).

I remember seeing your smallie report at BOQ last summer/fall, best of luck on the uni apps. It's almost over and you can fish as much as you want after you get the acceptances

Great report! Congrats on the PB ... too bad the conditions aren't going to be good tomorrow ... it just has to happen on a day when i don't have work .... o well

Great idea!

I don't remember seeing "no-fishing" signs the last time i was there Even though i won't get a new PB i can catch my first Koi.

Thanks CC! You'd know best since you're out there almost everyday.

Earlier today i was just thinking ... hope that CC didn't go to the trib that i'm planning to hit so i'll still have a chance

I can't believe it's been almost half a year since i've had a fish on my line ... was in residence (sept-dec) so i missed out on the fall fishing ... on top of that all my hooks are too big for the fish in my fish tank ...

There's going to be light rain tonight and apparently it's 30km/h SW winds tomorrow according to the weather network. I'm still new to steelheading so i'm just wondering if it's a good idea to head out or if it's "fish-able" tomorrow.

Any help is appreciated and if you don't want to disclose the information here please PM me. Thanks!

If it's a no-go i guess i'll spend my day at basspro ...

Victor

Well said Mike.

I should write them down so i have a few excuses ready when i make my next purchase... lol

I think this is like asking a kid if he/she can ever have too many toys ...

Personally, i will say no to that question until i win the lottery one day and buy BassPro + Fishing World (BassPro doesn't have any carp stuff) ... one day .... one day *keeping my fingers crossed*

I'm far from the point where there's nothing to upgrade ... i wish that i'm there ... it's just too hard trying to decide what i should get first and what i should leave on my "wish-list" for next year.

If you don't need anymore upgrades on tackle, maybe look into safety gear? I'm sure your wife would be okay with that . (that's why i should buy all my stuff when i'm still single lol)

Victor

yeah i remember seeing you alot on the old board ...

don't worry, i've only caught one pike on a jerkbait too, great topic!

kitfisher probably knows more about this but it seems like he changed his screen name or something :S

was just going to post it up right now ...

huge fish indeed ... i would be happy with one 2/3 that size haha

i'm not really into hunting ... u guys think it's worth it to go for the fishing stuff after what i saw at the fishing show? ... or am i just going to find similar things ... still debating

hey GBayGiant i've got that picture saved in my home computer ... however i'm not on that comp right now so when i get the chance i'll post it up

that's a really nice looking carp ... it seems like that hole is around 8" ?

if that's the case i better make sure i have all my gear with me ...

- 2 hats from fishing world (me and my dad)

- Shimano Baitrunner 4500B (no tax)

it's been a while since i last posted on here, been busy with work/school and i haven't gotten into ice fishing yet ...

i'll be there from 4ish-closing

if you see an asian 19yr old wearing a blue tshirt that says "size does matter" .. that'd be me lol
