Good to hear from ya gain Rick !! Its nice that the weather cooperated and by the looks of it you had some great fish frys ....

x2

Thanks for posting .. hope your buddy gets back out there again .. that Penko/parmesan batch looks great ....

Me too .... I always watched his shows , really enjoyed how he described his adventures and always was down to earth he would dine at top restaurants and eat street food , can't imagine what kind of demons he must be dealing with to not find anything in life worth living for ....so sad

i have heard great things about this Thermacell .... almost sounds too good to be true !!! I see more of it on the store shelves ... looks a little pricey .... but may have to try it out ..heading up north of Nakina in July

HH ... i'll have to try the burlap solution ... yep ... very true ... I've trained my dog to pee on a patch of rocks that i setup in the back yard ...when she peed on the grass it would die within a day ...

Great report , thanks for posting !!!

thanks Adam, will look online hey Pump , i like those single hook swim baits , that’s what i’m looking for ... great picture

Thanks a lot guys , some great info ... I definitely did not see those at Sail, the Savage Gear soft and hard baits did you buy them online ?

Was wondering what swimbait lure setup you guys use for big pike. I have lots of spoons , cranks and spinner baits. What I don’t have much of are large swimbaits in my tacklebox. I also prefer casting as opposed to trolling. What do you recommend for swimbait brands and hooks ? I went to Sail but didn't see much.

wow ... time is flying ... looking forward to hearing about your adventure !!!!

was looking at the higher end Shimano's but think i may go with 2 Sahara 2500's

if you are in the market for a new reel as i am , i found this great review ...

Hope the Leafs can get the game 7 monkey off their back !!!!! Darn TSN and Sportsnet keep showing the collapse from 5 years ago .... cmon !!!!! no need for that .....we all have it burnt into our memories .... LOL Go Leafs Go !!!!!!!!

i hear ya ... that feeling never gets old .... any chance to head north on a fishing trip always makes feel anxious ... and Jason is a great guy to deal with

CLASSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the original poster Bobowski mentioned he wanted a baitcaster rod to target Pike and Bass ... I have Crucial and Compre spinning rods , but would like to get a baitcaster to target specifically bigger pike when we do fishing trips in Northern Ontario I plan to pair it with a Curado 200 reel

where in the GTA is the best selection of St. Croix rods ?

thanks for posting this ... i was going to do a search on the forum, as I am also looking for recommendations I have been looking at the Curado rod or St Croix

a guy like Marner is not going to have the open ice given to him like in the regular season, Leafs forwards need to battle in the playoffs ... Hyman showed he was determined .. not sure if it was nerves of just completely overpowered by the Bruins but I personnally dont think just playing our game is going to work ... Leafs forward just seem to be playing without grittiness Kadri had it ... but got into trouble and it cost them

Can't believe Leaf fans trashing Kadri ???? As far as I'm concerned he is the only one that stepped up last night ... I knew Marner wouldnt be able to play his game last night ... Kadri was just trying to create something like he did last year against the Capitals... Funny how no Bruins fans trash Marchand ... and whats with the kissing ???? Cherry was right , you wanna take enforcers out of hockey then you need your elite players to find a way to step up their games and take the abuse .... Doubt Babcock will put Matt Martin in Saturday night ...

yeah for sure Chris ... Bruins are a big physical team , hopefully Leafs speed , scoring and Andersen’s goaltending will pull them through but i doubt they will be able to avoid the physical stuff , it’s the playoffs man !!!! every check will be finished , barn burner playoff hockey !!! Marner up against Chara ... lol, hopefully he can skate through his legs ... bring it on !!!!!! GO LEAFS GO !!!!!!!

I wonder if Babcock will have the Kadri line play against the Bergeron line. Bergeron , Marchand and Pastrnak have been a killer line the second half of the season ... Kadri will have his work cut for him... I like his type of play especially in the playoffs (like last years big hits on Orpik in the first round) He will be key to getting the Leafs pumped with some big hits on Marchand ... I hope. We know the Leafs have Skill, but I like what Bacock said to the media yesterday " this time of year its not about SKILL ...its about WILL" GO LEAFS GO GO GO GO GO GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched the Bruins kick Penguins butt last night ... Boston looked mean and scrappy I am loving my Leafs this season but it made me think about their lack of toughness .... I am hoping i'm wrong ... and their raw talent will prevail but playoff hockey is whole different type of hockey and if they want to go deep into the playoffs I think they needed someone scrappier than Plekanec added to their lineup

That's so awesome to him riding along on his own .....
