God was nice to me and blessed me with a girlfriend... who has a cottage on Lake Chandos equipped with a boat. I'm going to be fishing it all next week. Any OFNer's up there?

40... Surprising. I was going to guess 35. Happy belated birthday Roy!

I'm using Stren braid 30lb on my bass and walleye rod and having zero problems. quality braid.

I was night fishing last week and cast my spook into a tree beside shore and had a of a time breaking the line. What do some of you do when you snag a lure deep and want to break the line on heavy braid?

Ahh, that was a great report to come home too. Congrats on the 47"er!

wow, I'm about to embark on a serious journey! at least now I know what I am up against

Unbelievable. thank you.

Does anyone have any tips on cleaning a stradic? I haven't had mine serviced in the past (I know, I know) and it's definitely due for a good cleaning! I plan on doing it myself and I'm going to do a web search on the subject but was also wondering if anyone here has any good tips or important info. that is needed to do the job correctly. Thanks, Josh

Yep got the PM. Appreciate the help Mike!

Well thanks for the replies, special thanks to you coach haha . I moved here from Toronto for school and have yet to do any shore fishing (as I am boatless). It's been too long so soon I am going to have to start exploring the shorelines. Can anybody send me in the right direction? Josh

not gonna lie... a little jealous lol. beauty report!

Both should yield a few pike. The best way is to start walking the shorelines looking for weed beds. The Toronto harbour has many basins that hold pike as does the island. Walking the basins from the ferry to spadina st. is a good start. For the islands, start with taking the ferry to hanlen's or center and look for weed beds adjacent to deep water. Spinnerbaits and jerkbaits should do the trick. good luck!

Any Montrealer's on this forum? Moved here a few years ago and would love to meet some local anglers. cheers, Josh

Hi all, I've been following this forum for awhile and I must say it definitely keeps me sane when I'm not on the water, which is way too often. Great to see all these passionate anglers in one place to share info and stories... love the reports! Anyway, I'm posting to ask some questions about some lakes I've been exploring in quebec around the Gatineau region. My friend has an amazing piece of property on a private lake just outside of Kazabazua, Lake McConnell, across the street from Danford Lake. We've been out for lakers a few times with no avail. Anybody have any info on these lakes? fish species, populations, etc? OR any other lakes in that area such as Lac Ste. Marie, Pemichagnan, Lac Heney? Gonna go up again for Pike and Walleye opener the 16th, I know Lac Ste. Marie holds walleye as it feeds off the Gatineau. Any OFC'ers fish these lakes? Josh
