It was a reliable product for me, no issues with it and never a bad spool, baitcasting reels, spinning reels, and my closed face reels, it worked well for me.

It does seem odd to me they all sizes would be rated at 20# too? I don't know how comfortable I would be fishing for larger fish with a rating that low.

Never heard of those, a quick search turned up this. https://www.fishusa.com/product/Raven-Micro-Swivels " Raven Micro Swivels feature a low visibility Gunmetal Black finish and an extremely small size for ultra subtle presentations. The Raven Micro Swivels small sizes makes them popular for use when connecting leader to mainline when center pin and float fishing. These swivels also work great with ultralight and light spinning gear. We carry the Raven Micro Swivels in sizes X-Small (RVMS1X), XX-Small (RVMS2X), XXX-Small (RVMS3X) and 4X-Small (RVMS4X). Size X-Small measures at 3/8" and size 4X-Small measures at 5/16" with sizes XX-Small and XXX-Small falling in between. Qty. per pack: 25 Test: 20 lbs. " " Can anyone give me the pound rating for each size? I have looked at the manufacturer's website and did not find any data. " " As stated in the product description, all of these swivels have a rating of 20 pounds. June 15, 2016 FishUSA Staff "

TSC has a sale of bird food and suet blocks, my son picked up 6 35# bags of bird food, 24 suet blocks, and a bag of black oil sunflower seeds to mix in, it might last the summer?

Prior to 2003 original Stren mostly for 30 years.

LOL, that used to be Walleye fishing on Lake Erie! Head out to the island of floating boats, they had already located the schools of fish, dial in the proper depth, place your rod in the rod holder, and eat a sandwich while waiting for a hit.

LOL, please don't take me as an expert, I have never fished anywhere in Ontario before the June bass opener, and the waters I have fished there as destinations are extremely limited, the Kawartha lakes never made it on the list. Water depths? Pike spawn early, if you are familiar with the lakes? look for areas that may be spawning areas for them or with early weed growth. Shallow coves, bays, flats with deeper water access, my idea would be to keep a lure running just above the weeds or shallower areas, with cooler water temps they probably haven't moved to far from them after the spawn. A spinner or spoon doesn't seem like a bad choice of lures, but mixing in crankbait or lure that has a defined running depth might not hurt? Our northern pike fishing is very limited here in Ohio, there are areas off of Lake Erie were I had a reasonable expectation of hooking one in April and early May, but as soon as the water started to warm they were gone.

At the condo I lived in for a few years they would build nests on our outside lights, and since more than one condo shared a vent pipe for their dryers the would even build nests in them.

Ouch! but easier to explain than lipping a ski?

My dad and uncle used to go to PAB for the walleye opener, one look at them when they got home convinced me to never try it. I remember going for a swim after dark there once in mid summer, it was the only time I tried that.

I saw that, all ended reasonably well so a little twisted humor?

Watch out for drifting pontoon boats and docks.

Hats off to them! certainly not something I would have wanted to try.

My dad flooded his boat at Lady Evelyn lake tying it up too tightly, the water rose overnight and went over the sides.

Thank you sir, just assumed the glaciers created most of them.

Glad to hear it was found with a minimum amount of damage, might need to drop an anchor over the side when no one is around?

It is a bit more complicated than that? Species? Waters? time of year? A weed filled lake is generally harder to troll in, trolling for walleyes in Lake Erie can be much different than trolling for walleyes up north?

Depth control and keeping a lure in the strike zone was pretty easy on Lake Erie years back, trolling a wiggle wart or hot n tot for walleye was usually the way to go, it also worked for finding smallies on Erie. If you're fishing an 8 - 10 mile section of rocky bottom do you really want to make a million casts to locate them if you don't have to? Used to catch a lot of pike trolling up north.

An old story, but still a huge fish!

LOL, a lot of work making a video to sell a used car?

"Of the survivors, at least 50% will have long-term neurological damage that is not going to resolve." Although most infected people will never show symptoms, those who do become sick usually do so a few days to about a week after the tick bite, she said. The most common symptoms will be fever and headache."

Thanks jimmer! Here in Ohio if you see a lake, other than Lake Erie, it's safe to assume it's man made.

I put an old style of these on my boat, it was many years ago. http://scotty.com/product/no-231-power-lock-with-flush-deck-mount/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeon_Lake_(Ontario) They do mention clearer water affecting the Walleye population on Pigeon Lake. I had no idea Walleye weren't natural to those lakes, are they man made?
