Joanne, I think that either Lew or Joe (or both) have the answer.
There's another thing you might want to look at. Have you got a second tank? Try IT. Sometimes, if there's air in the tank, it won't feed properly...need to get in purged when you get it filled up.
This is starting to create bad blood amongst friends. I'm not a doctor (but I play one on television) so I'll stop the bleeding now. Have a healthy evening everyone.
Thanks Brian and Lew.....I'll get it done today.
I was visiting Rollie and Helen's earlier this morning and I saw 100lb Climax fluoro in 10 yard lengths for something like 10.99. I've never heard of anyone using the stuff though.
ps. I just happened to look at the 3 avatars on this thread and it's strange that the skies and the wind, water etc. look pretty similar.
Fishtat2, that's the problem, you may not lose fish with the steel leader but when the fish rolls, you'll scar her enough with the steel that she might die anyway. Use Fluoro. IMHO.
Scott, Campbell's Bay is sitting in one of the best fishing areas in the country. Anywhere on the Ottawa River they'll be able to get LM bass, SM bass, pike, muskie and walleye.
I would never use any kind of braid as a leader for esox. Esox, (pike and muskie) have serrated teeth and will cut through braid no problem. Walleye on the other hand have conical teeth and have trouble breaking braid. Rather than using a steel leader why don't you go to a fluoro leader. I think the fluoro will have less of an effect on your lure's action.
