  1. I've been drop shotting Leech and Smelt Minnows and they are awesome. Landed 22 Smallmouth on 1 bait before I had to retire it back into the tub for a recharge.

     

     

    The stuff is great have been using the leeches and shiners on both walleye and smallies.

    24 dollars a tub but well worth it

     

     

     

    Sure it wasn't your fishing knowledge/ skills that caught all those fish?

  2. I have not seen most of the TV shows on the list...

     

    Only Fishing show I watch is Bob Izumi's Real Fishing... only because entire season of shows are available for free on his website. (Good Quality video too).

     

     

    Any other fishing shows available on the net for free?

  3. I'm pretty much set up for maps with my Garmin 60 csx. I have topo Canada and topo USA, North American navigator version 8, GPS Quebec all of Ontario and Bluechart Americas. I first used my GPS for navigating last month when I flew from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg. It was within one or two mph of the plane GPS at 550 mph. I was impressed. Once I landed in Winnipeg, it took me from the Winnipeg airport to The Pas Manitoba, which was my destination. That was about a 400 mile drive. And it took me back again no problem. For accessories I've bought 3 one GB micro SD cards, so I don't have to keep uploading maps, my ram suction cup mount, and a 12 volt cigarette plug in adapter, which is awesome not only because you're not using your batteries up, but the back light is on all the time. A big plus when your driving in low light conditions or at night. This is a new toy for me and I'm impressed and having lots of fun with it. I'll never be without one again I'm sure.

     

    I plan to get myself a Garmin 60 CSX . Not sure if I should get Cx or CSx. Only difference is CSX has Electronic compass & barometric altimeter. That is the only difference.

     

    DanC, Why 3x 1GB memory card? Can you not load all the maps to a larger memory card and use it same time? or is not possible?

     

    I currently have a Garmin Street Pilot C320 and it is possible to load more than one compatible map on to the unit and either I can pick and choose which map to use or check all map to use all at once. Only thing is I get a menu asking which map I would like to use when I try to enter a new address/location to go.

    Trick to load multiple map is to load it all together. Because when you load a map and later on load other type of map it will wipe out the any previous map in the memory card.

     

    Because I was planning to get a 4GB memory card to dump everything in there.

     

     

    Oh... 60 Cx/CSx feature is exactly same as 76 series other than that 76series floats on water.

    But personally 60 series looks cooler :)

  4. I have the BPS brand in the boat also and use them as much as possible but it has been my experience that the Yamamoto version of the dead stick bait works better for me on most days.Seems to have a density or salt content or something that makes it different than the other baits I have tried.I will say that I have not tried very many other brands other than the BPS version and the tiki worm.I would like to try the strike king 3x version but all I have been able to find from them is a creature type lure.Very cool material they use.You can get a lot more mileage out of the senkos by using an O ring around the body and passing the hook between the o ring and senko if you are fishing it wacky.

    Could you maybe share what type of o-ring you are using? and maybe size of it too ? weblink with picture would be cool.

     

    Thanks.

  5. Wow...

    that is one huge lures.

    Do you actually plan on using that or is it for showcasing only?

     

    I think you should sell some here for those who are interested. Just so you can get some extra money to experiment with new luremaking.

     

    By the way... I am still waiting for more video from your Vermillion trip. (high quality please)
