Biggest walleye I've ever seen was on Simcoe perch fishing, I lost it on 2lbs test at the boat. We've boated a 17+ on Quinte.

I've sold a few of the Large Church 44 boards to some Musky guys on the St Lawrence and a few out west to some Pike guys. Big water guys love them for Salmon and leadcore..

Fish are dirty buggers...they love to hit when your backs turned or you have your head down.

No excuse for a Midget player to do that.. cheap.. cheap. There is always a few idiots on the ice. I've had both shoulders dislocated, broken wrist, and a broken collerbone due to cheap shots. And a few concusions trying to pay them back Most recently I was taken out in early Januray this year with a knee to knee cheap shot playing competitive mens league. Seasons over for me... knee is messed. Other injuries happened when I was younger, healed quicker. It never stops. I remember watching my nephew who plays AAA get smoked by a cheapie in Minor Pee Wee. Man you anger sure esculates when its family it happens too... I could just imagine how fuming you were MuksyMatt. Glad she is ok.

Look forward to your posts Mike, love the pics. Chin up my friend. If life was easy, we would never appreciate it.

Awesome Squid. I recently made a change in diet too, feel amazingly different. It blows my mind how a change so simple to make can pay off so quick. This diet is not so popular here it seems, but it makes sense to me. And if you feel good doing what your doing and your getting positive results.... HK (who cares) what others think. Keep it going pal. May have a hard time recognizing you down at the launch now a days huh? edit.. diet is a bad word... more of a lifestyle change.

A friend gave me a "Fish'n Canada" cheap knock off "somethingorother" telescopic rod as a gift a few years ago now. I blew up a Loomis frog rod and grabbed this one as the spare one day in a T. I could horse anything in with it, cast a mile too, loved it. I didn't put it down for the next few years. That cheapo rod cashed more cheques for me then any other one rod I owned at the time. Ceramic popped out of the top eyelit, still gav'er. We were actually "with" Gloomis at the time too My bro got cut up pretty bad from a crucial that blew up on hookset. Fished the full day and got a few stiches that night. Prettys sure he still has some graphite in his bottom lip beside the tip of a balsa stream float

Just a bumper.

Crazy busy and got caught running behind on getting items out for this. eTackle.ca has some items set aside for donation to the auction table. Is anyone coming through Bowmanville area on their way up? Thanks Phil

All the best Simon and Fam.

Frustrating for sure Lew. Can be very frustrating for folks who ship all over Canada and would prefer to use couriers too. Couriers will not deliver to PO Boxes or RR addresses.

Lots of great referals. IF that is your timeframe I'd be picking from the Bluffs over to Credit area. Especially if you wait til the latter part of the month

If you can get your hands on a C3 you'll be impressed. Myself and a couple "avid" anglers pounded them hard and really liked them compared to other in the same price point. Biased as I may be, with folks like Scott Martin and Rocky Crawford using these rods it is only time until they hit the mainstream like other amazingly marketed products. The quality is all there.

Pitching/Flipping and Frog rod. I would go with a 7'2 ft heavy blank. Cork handles. One mod would be a full sized fore grip with an oversized diameter. Something I can wrap my whole hand around when dragging in 30lbs of weed a 3lb fish.

Brian, fire me an email. I have what you are looking for.

My bro and I did it. IT is very easy for "newer" folks to this game to be taken advantage of. There is nothing wrong with being "wide eyed", enthusiastic and full of dreams. However, as with any industry there are those that will prey on it I am actually glad for the experience, it opened my eyes the reality of this biz.

When I opened this thread a memory popped into my head of a day prefishing for a T with my late Dad. We were in an area that had big fish written all over it... I flipped in and I saw her turn on the jig. I would of shook her off but I knew my Dad would of loved to see a nice fish. He took this pic with an old 35mm a few years ago...probably 12 or so now. Funny how I used to remember the day for the size of fish that were caught, now I could careless about that. Scugog Never to early to think BASS!

I'll take a stab.... to clarify... you offer the "corporation" not the "person" as part of the "Business Agreement" package.

Sweet Corn Pete! Keep at'er

Honestly. Join a bass club. Fish their events. Minimum investment which you will be more then likely dontating until you get sometime in the T environment if you fish partner T's. Most club are Boater/Non boater. Cut your learning curve 95% Downtown Bass in Oshawa has a good club. CBAF I "think" still has a club out of Durham too. I am a Port Perry Bass member, we meet in Bowmanville. Great group.

To add... something else you have in your pocket if I remember correctly is you are a licensed guide. When I was going thru all this hoopla years ago I pitched a large Gas company. They were semi intetested in what I was throwing at them, but as soon as I uped the ante with a few guided trips for them and their clients....bingo. It turned from only advertising budget to including funds from other budgets. Easier to swallow for them. So there's a tip, hold that in your back pocket to use if needed

Well said Craig. Sponsorship is an awful word. It is more a business parntership or an employment agreement. If I can add a little something to the mix, go outside the fishing industry. Keep it local if you can - Coffee shops, insurance brokerages, large manufacturing corporation in town etc.. If you are looking for little grab bags items just ask around. You should get them. Things are way different now a days then even 10 years ago. Things are tight. Focusing outside the industry is a better use of you time for the T you are pitching. IMO. Garnets right too... very small. Good Luck,

I have some knowledge of vintage lures and I do not recognize it. I agree it looks like a mod job or better yet a LJ proto type.
