Beautiful post, Dutch01, great job!

So where do you guys buy your batteries? I heard CT, Costco, Walmart. Any other stores? Do Bass Pro and Sail sell them? AGM batteries in particular (I am thinking about AGM to avoid the risk of acid spillage associated with the "regular" flooded batteries). Yep, it's for my kayak.

Wow! Half the weight for quadruple the price! Certainly looks like a nice battery but my wife will most likely burn my kayak if I buy a battery like that!

I am looking for a group 24 battery for my kayak. AGM I think. Which brands/stores do you guys recommend? I seem to remember some bad stuff was said about the Canadian Tire batteries but maybe I am just imagining things.

Which size do you have? [edit] And I mean the battery.

Youtube is your friend, there are lots of videos on how to drop shot, here is one of them: I just tie a hook using Palomar knot. With Palomar, it's easy to control the length of the line that goes down to the sinker. And if the hook ends up upside down, just run the sinker end of the line through the eye of the hook again. Another variation is to attach a hook to a leader, tie a loop on the leader, like double surgeon, and then tie that leader to the main line, similar to the way you tie the hook when drop shotting. This gives the hook a bit more lively presentation. Or instead of attaching the leader by the loop, to eliminate line twist, you can use a T thingy, forgot what they called, lol.

Lots of cottages on Lake Nipissing and not too expensive. Sudbury and North Bay are relatively nearby with some interesting stuff to do for kids there (the old nickel (?) mine in Sudbury comes to mind), lots of farms too. With 6 and 4 year olds I wouldn't target pikes and walleyes though. IMO if you want to keep them interested in the hobby, at that age they need faster action and panfish is ideal for that. And I wouldn't plan for a whole day fishing trip either, they get bored within a couple of hours at that age. What worked for us was finding some remote little island and having a picnic there plus swimming, etc. If you come up with some various activities like that, your family will have a blast during that day outdoors. [edit] Oh and you better book about now - they get booked fast. You can still find cottages at a week's notice if someone cancels but it's harder to plan if you don't book ahead of time, since you never what, when and where will become available.

To me it doesn't really matter who is financing this kind of campaigns if any of what was shown in the documentary is true.

Unbelievable...

This case has nothing to do with tipping asians into the water. The prosecutor specifically said that the guy is not being charged for tipping, he is charged for ramming their car. So tipping is still ok. Oh and by the way. None of the other 19 people who participated in the tipping were charged either. Only the ramming dude. Really nice message to the community.

Nice trip and great report!

Awesome pike. In the first picture it looks more like a shark though

What technique do you use to catch those when nothing else works?

I think it's Alt-Shift y default.

Holy cow, what a fish! Grats man!

Great story and really great pictures!

Awesome post, thanks a lot!

Nice web-site! Bookmarked. Good luck with it!

Grats, guys! Maybe I'll bye one too next year.

"Honey, remember all the fishing stuff that I bought lately? It's all useless if I don't know where the fish is, so I need to buy this tiny little last thing. It's on sale, so it's practically free." Try this one. The key is to use words "useless", "fishing" and "sale" in one sentence, this is supposed to put women in a good mood.

Err, what was the topic again?

My thoughts are with you and Kareem, so sorry to hear this.

Grats!!

Grats, great fish!
