I too am thinking of purchasing a Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx but price in Canada is almost $100 more than price from US. Darn it. Walmart is US seems to have it for around $350 USD or so. Might be worth to just drive down to Buffalo ?

So salmons will swim up as it is raining? right? or was it after a good rain?

Is that few splitshots to make rattle dive deeper?

I know Shimano labels Power & Action rating on the rod itself but other brands usually only label Power rating. So how can I figure out what type of action rating a rod have?

Awesome streak! You are on fire now. Man... that chinook is well beaten.

May I join in one night?

Hello. I am just wondering few things about Spinning Rod characteristics. How are the power rating, line and lure weight work on a rod? For example, I am looking at a Berkley Series 1 9'0" Medium rod with line rating 6-10lb. versus Browning Six Rivers Salmon Rod 8'6" Medium Heavy with line rating 6-17lb lure weight 1/4-5/8 versus Fenwick 9'0 Medium with line rating 10-25lb lure weight 3/8-1oz What makes these Medium rod so different in characteristics on recommended line & lure weight ? Also, what does these line rating really mean? what if I use something less or heavier line? what kind of effect will it have ? Is it the actual lb. or line diameter? If rod has line rating of 6-10lb. can I use 40lb PowerPro? which has mono diameter almost equaling 10lb ? Is this how it works? What allows Fenwick medium rod to be able to use heavier line than Browning's Medium- Heavy rod? I always thought that More power the rod, heavier the line and heavier lure can be used? Isnt' that why musky rods are Heavy or Extra Heavy and allow for use of heavy lures? I would really appreciate some insight on these question and your additional inputs. Thank you! PS. I am actually eye'ing of purchasing that Fenwick HMXS90M-2 9'0" Medium Rod. Any experiences?

Why not use your Carp gear? I've seen one person using carp rod.

You can catch salmon @ the mouth of humber for some time now.

Yes,,, get yourself a 20lb or 30lb braided line. and i want to fish where you fished at... hooking into 3 fish is great night!

Is your hands still shaking ? Are you still thinking about the fish? Can't wait to go back tonight? I've also had great luck at the Port Credit. Btw... what is a shock leader? Also, I am interested fishing gears used. Thank you

Thanks for the tip. But I am not sure exactly where that is.

What's wrong with red? I've got yellow & blue too. White or Black just ain't colorful. ----- Oh and I don't think I am not going to replace my rod just to hope that I can revive very few unlucky fish.

I gears are 10'0" Medium + PowerPro 30lb and I don't worry about line breaking so I pull in the fish fast & hard other than when it goes for a run. Should I be considering a Medium-Heavy rod ? Any good alternative rod which is atleast 9+foot long? From what I have seen most of people at pier don't use beefy enough rods. Than again I haven't seen any of them caught one to see how they fight the fish.

what is the prize ?

I bet others are thinking the same Good Luck Out There !

Way to go!!! Keep at it and enjoy while it lasts!

Now the sad part. I failed to revive the fish and it wasn't able to swim away. It did gave a few kicks so I let it go and within close reach it floated back up. My question is, if I did not let it go and fish was not able to revive again... what would be a proper thing to do with this fish?

Not too much to say other than that I went to fish at the Mouth of Credit River and result was excellent! It was early in the morning still dark. I just gave a quick zap with my head led light to my cleo. Made my first cast and BooM!! First cast, First salmon of 2007. It sure felt good again to hear the drag scream and watch fishing jumping around. So here it is... - Boeing 777

Awesome. must been a lot of fun. Especially with a girlfriend

Thanks for the informations!! BTW,,, one of my co-working told me that his mom take a 1:1 of water and hydrogen peroxide and gargle with it. I know that Hydrogen Peroxide is used to treating external wounds because it kills germs on contact and such but gargle with it ??? Than again, Listerine and those teech whitening tapes that you put on your teeth contains some amount of hydrogen peroxide. Any info about use of hydrogen peroxide ??

Hello to all. I was just wondering if you guys here know any real good remedy for a soar throat ? I personally suck on Fishermen's Friend which instantly helps calm out that bitterness in my throat but I can't be sucking on it all day long. Especially when I cough and get some phlegm that is when I feel some nasty soar bitter'ness even more. Some times I wake up during sleep due to bitter soar throat and at that point I really need Fishermen's Friend or drink a milk & bread to try to clear that phlegm and help reduce the bitter soar throat. So I was just wondering if anyone have a real good treatment for bitter soar throat? (treatment would be better than just a relief for that moment) Some of the things I do is, gargle with salt water but using apple cider vinegar is so much better! I appreciate your feedback!

that is a awesome bass!

I think I am gonna fly down to US to buy one and save some big money.
