I enjoyed your Grand report. I live so close to the Grand, but I never fish it.I must fix that. What end of the Grand would be best? Dunville? or York?? these are pretty close to me. Thanks Shawn.

JIG & PIG is one of my fave jigs. I love getting cut off, by Pike with them. It's a great Bass bait, in heavy cover.Just have to keep it away from the toothy critters.

X2 on the seafoam. That stuff works GREAT!!! I would not put diesel in my gas engine. NO WAY!!!

This Kelly baiy sounds pretty good.I might have to pick one of those up. Spinner bait vs. Jig... I should have made a poll

IMO It can be run.But it won't run great.It will never get to the operating temp, needed to run smoothly.ANd it will be hard on gas. Was the old one totally screwed. You could test it, in a pot of boiling water.Just watch it untill the spring opens.If it does'nt open, then she's toast!. I would try hard to find one, but I would'nt cancel my trip. Maybe bring it into CT or Nappa, and try to match it up.You might get lucky, you never know. Good luck. Shawn.

Link no worky. It just brings you to the main page.

what is this Kellys peir boy special ???

Maybe it would have been more fun to pick your top 3. But as it stands, it's just one.It was a close call for me, between JIG & spinner bait.I've picked up more fish on spinner baits then all other baits.But when it comes to a tuff bite, cold front, heavy heavy cover.It would have to come down to a JIG for me. I know if your fave fish to fish for is Muskie or Pike.Then maybe a JIG is'nt gonna be your most common bait to pick.I don't get to fish for skies much anymore.( maybe twice a year, now:) But for the fishing I do. Bass, Pike, Crappie, Walleyes. Jigs seem to work very well, under all conditions.This makes it my personal #1 pick. I wish I had made a poll, at the start of this topic.It would have been interesting to see the findings on the Votes. And when you guys or girls, pick your fave #1 bait to use.Please give a detailed reason why, it's your fave bait to use.I think the reason for the bait, is as important as the pick itself. Shawn.

LOL. good one, oh wise Jedi.

I never said, I had the asnwer picked out that I wanted to hear. I don't really understand your comment. I was asking for your favorite. RELAX

Hmmmmmmmmm. walleye, YUM> Looks like perfect eating size. good for you.

Well for the most, it seems the JIG! is the bait. Other than BIG a spinner bait. ( This would be my 2sd pic Lew) They just don't seem to work as well, under a tuff bite.Sure when the fish are hitting this Lure works GREAT! but when the bite it slow, the JIG! is #1.

Wow thats news. I would have never thought. Gotta love the net, for info.

Well, like the title says. If you had to choose only one lure, out of all the types of lures out there. What would it be? And why? For me, it would be a jig! Because under any fishing condistion,for any kinda fish, it will catch you fish.I love to jig.And have been using jigs for man many years.I find them to work under the tuffest of fish'in days.Tube jigg'in over rocks for Bass is one of my fave ways to fish.And texas rigg'in a 10 " purple lizard in heavy cover is hard to beat.Or Caralina rigg'in for Walleyes just off bottom can be deadly at times. You can drag, snap, bounce, hop, wiggle,Drift, swim,or troll a jig. What more could you ask from a lure.And they are cheap, compaired to hard plastics & other baits.So when you lose them.No big deal, your not out 10 or 20 bucks. I've also caught some of my biggest fish on a jig.A few years ago, I landed a 20lbs Muskie on a Storm paddle tail jig with 6 pound test.I found when you hook a fish on a jig.The fish has a hard time throwing the hook.They don't have the leverage to throw the bait.Like most hard body baits.And tend to stay in the fishes mouth better, after the big hook set. Hats off the JIG. The #1 lure in the World. IMO. Just my 0.2 worth. lol

I've not caught to many... Northern Pike. Large mouth Bass. Black Crappy. But this has more to do with the Lakes I fish. I'm waithing untill the Fall, to fish for the Muskies.

Congrats!!! This is the best thing that will ever happen to you in your life!!! You'll never love anything more than your children. This is coming from a Dad.

I can confirm this. I hooked into one there about 10 years ago, while on a fishing trip. It felt like a 50 LBS Walleye. By this I mean the same kinda fight.It stayed down, and bull dogged the hole time.It was the biggest fish I've ever seen inperson.We did not have a camera.And I just wanted to put it back it the water as fast as possible.I hooked into it, while using a worm harness ( I was fishing for walleyes) I still remember the long fight.It took over 45 mins to land.( good thing I had a craddle) No idea the wieght of the fish.But well over 50" in lenth cause we had trouble fitting it into the craddle. My oldest friend was freaking out.

OMG that was NUTS!!! but what a rush, I bet.

Hard to beat a spinner bait ( safety pin kind) for Pike. I've enjoyed all your Grand reports, and love seeing that red devil in action.( I have'nt used one for years!!!. ) note to self... try the red devil again for kicks. Sometimes the oldies, are the best.

Stupid things like this happen for a reason.( I'm not aying they don't happen for no reason, either) I'm not saying you did something to deserve this.But...maybe if you look back, you might have ticked off some kid ( not hard to do) maybe you might be able to remember some ticked off teenager ( not hard again ) think back, it may come to you. I would'nt wish this upon anyone.I'm gald nobody was hurt. Hopefully they get caught!!! And get the book thrown at them. This is assult IMO.And they should be charged, as such.With a firearm!!

You beat me to the punch line. LOL Nice Cat. Fun as hell I bet.

10:37 pm here in Stoney Creek/Hamilton.And it's blowing pretty dam hard, with Large rain drops. And it has that feeling it could hit, BIG TIME here. Love to see some rain( we sure could use it).But I don't want the high winds. It knocks the craps outta my Garden.

Buying a brand new car is someting everyone should do once in there life time. It can be a good thing. KIA is a lotta car for the money. Hard to beat. Enjoy.

Well, I just got back from ANd we did ok... 3 Pike, 28 "To 30" 2 Small Bass. 2 pounders. Not Great, but not bad. Now it's blowing up quite the little storm. IT's good to see so many views, on this subject.

PRICELESS. LOL
