Squirrel tail wooly buggers.

Awesome! Judging by second shot it was worth the trip!

I am on board with slots and a closed spawn.

I cringed as I looked at the pics. Been there.

A block and tackle saved my arse a couple times. Actually twice on the way into Lingham alone

Awesome Will!

There are rules!!!!!

Was looking at ASHL's website, sent a few emails out. I think I would be about C level I think. But I haven't played in a long time, so I was thinking of joining a D league and see how it goes.

Ok, we are looking for one player, but a buddy was also in need of one for a C team. I'll mention it to him and PM you if he still is.

of course it went back.

Figured as much, I'll see her again next year then!

Yes your right Harrison, guys did good last week. Like my signature says But the same that did good last week got zip this week. I guess we picked the wrong week.

Need to be using 2 rods each

what level do you play?

You know what I am going to say Paul.

Phil

Sweet bucket. I know exactly where that is and fish those docks everytime I am on that lake. You can see why now!

Hope you put her back! kiddin.

Personal experience - I have never owned a piece of Okuma gear that didn't turn into dust within a single season.

 

I will never again buy anything that is made by Okuma. Actually, you couldn't GIVE me gear made by Okuma...

I've hit the water pretty hard over the years. used a bunch of different okuma stuff, never had one turn to dust. That's not to say there haven't been issues, but over all, very happy. Have a few 8 yr old inspira reels that had boated a ton of lake Simcoe smallies and beached a few pier bows over the years. Still work great.

Ran convectors and thier rods for years guiding/fishing on the big water, one broke only because a client sat on it.

have a 13'6 Aventa rod, its ok, I like it. Its not a Sage or loomis, but for 100 bucks its lasted me a few years and it comes out when there is a good chance of a sword fight on a drift.

Of course this is a personal opinion on experience using a variety of their gear. And yes I do sell Okuma, but I used it for 10 or so years before.

Just throwing a second opinion out, biased as it may be, but there are guys who swear by it, espcially on the west coast big waters.

The new stuff is quite sharp.

which live targets have wide wobbles?

 

my experience with live targets is they have piss poor action, if you can get any action out of them at all.

 

or was the wide wobblin' bait referring to reefers, td's, etc.

Steve, Pm'ed to avoid spammieness.

Was there last week. Got 7 or 8 on boards, all ate wide wobble long bodies. Top 2 were both Livetargets.

Thank for posting skud. Envious of your time with your Dad. Some of my best memories with my pops was moose hunting as well.

Nice country where you were.

Awesome Lew.

Guys like you retire once. Work your butts off in the city, raise a family, head north and live like most of us dream of when the time comes. Enjoy it my friend.

get a compound...bow ...a lot more silent and a lot nicer feeling, crossbow is like shooting a gun

I agree, however, only if the compound user actually practices. It is too easy to make a bad shot with a compound IMO.

As for the crossbow question. Go recurve and preferably Canadian. Happy with my excalibur for 15 or so years now. Have it as a back up for my compound.

I guess not.

A couple of questions: Where do you get 'roe juice' Is it just what drips out of roes that you've kept, or do you buy it?

 

"plastics in the fall/winter"--do you mean for bows, or for bass, walleye and pike?.

No Problem.

a) roe juice is just left over from salmon roe we kept to make singles. We would then freeze it, fill up a pill bottle and dunk the sponge that we cut out with a hole puncher.

b ) prefer to fish plastic now in the cold water for bows. Tubes, worms, craws, minnowheads, frys, etc.. all under a float.

When I say we, I am taknig about my bro and I. Learnt the ropes together and still fish the same.

For a few years we used sponge and soaked it in roe juice.

Once I discoverd how and when to fish plastics in the fall/winter that's all I use.

Another fad, it will die like the rest of them.

"Just more Stuff" as Carlin would say huh.

Got a report from a friend who did well on the smallies with the rig on the Kawarthas using grubs. Just getting me thinking about it, heading out friday and will give it a go too.

As part of the Walleye Management Strategy for Zone 17 an information workshop is being offered to give attendees a broad overview of the key elements of walleye management in FMZ17, including walleye biology, habitat and management, and also to provide insight into how participants can best become engaged in walleye management activities.

 

The FMZ17 Council, with MNR and OFAH, is holding this evening walleye information workshop on Oct 24th in Peterborough. It's open to the public and free to attend, but registration is required because of limited seating at the facility. Some seats are still available.

 

Full details and contact information are at http://www.ofah.org/fishing/fmz-17-walleye-workshop

Will this be the only session? Limited to 60 people, in Peterborugh and at 5:30 on a school day will make it mear impossible for a lot of folks to attend. Not to mention it's in the middle of 5 day moose season.

Maybe a weekend session possibly?

Thanks Craig, needed a laugh. Poor lion, can't wear a hat to hide that hair line.

Love opening this thread and seeing posts with "Great news"

Thumbs up!

Anyone know of any sites that offer free practice questions for the PAL exam? Got my FAC when I was 16 which was 20 years ago, when it changed to PAL i never did the exam. Looking to challenge exam just want to see how i"ll do
