He has a monopoly right now, if a couple other folks sold similair products the market would be disolved. There was a guy who airbrushed smaller cranks and made a killing for a year or so, then others caught on and the market (except for loyal customers) all but fizzled out. There was another gent you added fibre optic eyes to used lures, took some well lite picutres and did quite well, now there of a few guys doing the same. If you have an origianl idea customizing baits you could have a very profitable product untill others check your completed listings and see the revenues. I know, I had a good thing going for a while (6 mths) then others caught on.

Quite the scrape mark. Suprise attack, wow, woulda scared the heck outta me.

Ouch, Pigeon will be a toughy, even harder then rice I think! lol DEEEEEEEEEP, has been the ticket for Rice, of course not just any DEEP water but finding the couple "things" associated is how I patterened them. Now for Simcoe, man, I have seriously tried to pattern the craps out there, I have never got one in the winter. They must just POD up in the big basin and suspend in clouds rotating the lake. I can't get on them. Now in the spring, pretty tough to beat Simcoe for them!

I have never started a fight and usually try to defuse the situation, but when the serious threat is still there to myself or my family/friends, no holds barred with no hesitation.

Ron, I might be heading out Sat are you free?

"eh, oh Canada Blows" Kiddin Wicked game, Eberle rocks. Hope the USA confidence doesn't roll over to the Olympics.

Depends on the wind lol, 2.3mm of splash on lure entry is most important. Any more or less splash, your wasting your time.

Flipping, is basically using a set amount of line without using the bail between underhand flips/casts of the lure. Pitching, is an underhand style cast(using the bail) to specific targets. Both used for close range, especially flipping. As for the straight shank vrs offset flippin hooks, I use the off set. Prefer a better bait profile and can't say I have missed fish becasue of the offset. For wider body baits texas riggin or tex-posing I like the riggin hook from owner.

Yes, I think another poster touched on this in another post. From the Otonobee north there is a current right to the Hastings river the winds its way infront of some points and not far from some shorelines. I could see maybe driving out in Bewdley bay maybe, but east of the humps or Long Ilse, , no friggin way for me anyways, don't know the ice well enough on Rice yet.

I echo Daves statment, Paul's a class act.

rye and something warm.... usually at 3 am for me...before I was married of course.

Heya Cliff, we got into a few craps on Rice. Found them in 14-18ft after 3 hours of searching. If I was you I would head north from your place and try around the point north of you. IF you weren't already there,

Not whizzing down the hole, crap, with enough pints you can piss through 3 inches.

Only you GCD, only you. Zinga!

Great suit and good price. Kinda natural colours though... Just don't go over during the frog migration.

I feel your pain Cliff. I drove 2 hours to get a plow for the ATV, 50% OFF, they had 2 of them. I was there 10mins after opening. Sold out. I took 4 shovels full of salt from their parking lot, so I feel alittle better.

Plan for New years day is some fresh bacon wrapped walleye and crappie from the day to compliment the prime venison roast that will be marinated and ready for the BBQ.

Like anything in life, practice makes perfect. Especially trailering a boat in a high current river.

Fishing, is not what we do.. It's who we are.

I am good for any other weekend then the 14th weekend, I am at the show, plus it is "love" day and my daughter's bday which in turn = $$$$ day!

Great news!

I used to organize days on the water fishing for bigs and littles. I was amazed to see the connection that is made between the two. It's a friendship for life one big brother told me. I couldn't imaging growing up without a father figure in my life and I hope to give that back at one point as a big brother myself. Good on ya smalliefisher. I see you are in TO, but I have a contact for a case manager BB&S in Pickering you can ask more about it if you like.

I am going to try and get out of my comfort zone fliippin with flippin jigs, etc for largies and try more crankbaits, especially deep divers. Last years goal at this time was to focus on sight fishing smallies, which I now LOVE, hope to hone it more this upcoming season!

I echo Lews post above. However, Once I find some "bait in your eyes" aka crappies on Rice you are welcome to join me. You still have one good arm. That ingury is what ended my hockey career or what I think would of been one!

Rice Lake, I'll be turning part of the lake into swiss cheese as I hunt for the crappie.
