It might be "old fashioned" but it's not old. That's a rebuild of a rebuild. Strip it down, sand it with 400 paper, seal it and repaint it the colour you like, It'll be worth more. Clear coat it once or twice with Devcon or somesuch and change the hardware. Judging the size of the bait, 1/0 Mustads would be ok.

Which style/size are you looking at?

7...6...5 Let's be careful here. We only know what the media let us have. I only hope that justice will be served.

Good stuff, Rob. Good to see you taking both kids out. Ryan will be outfishing you next season. Thanks for the report.

Lots of bass in Manitou.

Mike, I think you should rename the Disco Inferno and call it "Bread & Butter"

Mike, the Ministry of the Environment website says that you'll likely fail if the check engine light is on. Read it here. http://www.ene.gov.on.ca/environment/en/category/drive_clean/STDPROD_104964.html

Wow! You're certainly batting a thousand on Erie. Congrats!

Very very nice, Mike. Thank you for sharing that.

I don't know Mike. I've never needed any done and the few that I'd need I always just print it on my printer.

Yes but anyone with a membership can get them for you. I think the 8x10s are $1.99.

Congrats to you. Great fish!

Good luck to you! Looking forward to your report on that.

If your insurance premiums rise in cost because of a claim, it's no longer called insurance. It's called a medium term loan.

The place I've been checked the most is on Nipissing. Every visit there I get stopped at least once. Very professional, cordial folks doing their job. They make sure you have everything you need on your boat safety wise, ask how the fishing has been, check for obvious signs of impairment, then wish you a good day. It's the way it should be.

Yup, gizzard shad makes sense.....they happen to be spawning in shallows now also. Adults are 10"-14" so that would put them in the size range as well.

Nice fish Christopher, Congrats! Could those other fish have been suckers?

Beauts for sure, Greg! You're even smiling and everything....you must be happy.

Great looking fish. I think it's time for you to start getting a web show together. Seriously.

Thanks for the report...some nice looking beasts there. That LM has a tail problem...could you tell what happened from looking at it? Thanks for posting...beauty fish for sure!

A beautiful time with your bud. Thanks for sharing it with us. Some heavy duty catches there...I suspect you'll be back up there sooner than later and you might even shave another hour off the traveling time. Great photos also, thank you! Edited to add: And you turn a mean phrase as well, Pete.

My and J's condolences. All I can say is that I hope it was fast as I suspect that that combination would be painful not only for her but also for the people left behind. Stay strong and be well.

Mike has that right. We can't do that here for several reasons. However, those of you looking for a 'business opportunity', go for it.

Avoid problems for mentioning a website?

Thanks for the update, Mark. Sounds like you guys hit Erie paydirt!
