I never buy freshwater fish in stores or restaurants simply because I NEVER want to risk financially encouraging the abuse of our natural resources.

wow

your missing out

cant beat BPS...

bigger is better!

I use 80lb Seagur with SPRO snaps n swivels and they work GREAT! I agree that since the line sinks it tends to impede the action on some of my crank baits.

**I first tried to save a few bucks n used the Bass Pro brand snaps n swivels. BIG MISTAKE!! lost 3 fish (AND 3 x- raps) in one day! cheap ass BPS hardware would literraly bend the o rings straight and snap! UNACCEPTABLE.

I guess you get what you pay for....

Ive sent the rod in, no receipt....

keepin my fingers crossed

keep ya posted boys!

i use an old Humminbird portable, probably bought it in the late 90's, still does the trick for me, mainly locating humps, shelfs, reefs...

Anyone see the commercials for the new Garmin colour unit on OFC, supposed to be relatively inexpensive. Just wondering if anyone has used them before?

thank you EVERYONE for the input, i bout it at teh sportsmens show a couple years back fomr a store i think was called flaherty's. problem is i dont know if i can find the RECEIPT!!

im gonna try a few of the suggestoins and will update the post with some good news (i hope)

hi all,

managed to snap my favourite rod setting the hook on a hammerhandle this weekend!!

anyone know what the warranty time is on the Fenwick HMX series rods. Im sure its more than 12months...

thanks!

dang!

the worst feeling is when the canoe hangs on a 180 before going right over! all you can do is look for the valuable stuff and hold on tight! lol

oddly enough, most guys drown from the canoe when they flip and the canoe bonks them on the head on the way down...

could've been worse!

tell me thats a joke...

brutal...

poor guys.

how strong can that current be? I would never swim right there but it never looks THAT strong to me!

i guess you never know....

Hi All,

Heading up to Parry Sound for holidays; last year around this time i found an auction that was selling off a lot of random stuff but LOTS of boats and motors.

Are any of you familiar with this auction???

I was hoping to catch it again this year but havent seen anything advertised.

Any help is appreciated.

Adam

WOW

awesome

CAP'N ALLAN! told ya!!

 

dont stress it, some guys here luv their 'skies!!!

good lookin fish...

 

 

ya think wrong.....lol. I fish for them all and by the way, I do it right....

hahaha

best of both worlds!!

LOL

SICK!

im all in

haha

really eh?

i will give that a try!

are you talking about the 5"?

drop shot rig, hooked one through the nose (you can see the fake sucker on the nose, make sure the hook goes through it)

then just lightly bounce the line n wait for tiks

hey tightline!

the moon's prolly one of my favourite spots in central ontario to fish, postcard scenery, MONSTEROUS fish!

the bite can be tough as the fish are always moving in there but i find a sure fire way to land ANYTHING is to fish captain allan strait, up n down, side to side, all day/night.

its a high traffic zone for baitfish coming from the open to the river. its pretty much right across (west) from moon river marina. check your map. AND if you venture past the mouth of capt'n allan, WATCH FOR ROCKS

good luck, report back!

beauty!!

the Spro Topwater Frogs are AWESOME!

im suprised nobody else mentioned them yet

they run about $10, but worth every penny

ive got a trailer in the area, never hit up that lake. most of em are full of largies.

bears are around, but havent seen one since veray early spring.

i wouldnt stress it...

is that lake off Seguin Trail?

what?

nothin negative Pat, im impressed by your knowledge base, want to see if anyone can stump you...

jokes...

all his info ive read checks out!

join the game!

STUMP DA KID!

you can but if the fiberglass is old and pitted the wax will get stuck in there and turn white in the sun...

use the turtlewax that comes in the matching colour to avoid this

how bout Halfway lake??

was there for a week n pretty much got skunked assides from what still stands as my biggest northern, well over 40" and TIK!

marked lots down deep, but no takers
