Zoom booms are awesome!

I don`t know how people did construction before them.

Good lure on quinte and erie for eyes but as Kevin has mentioned i find they need alot of tuning coming out of the package. I usually am lazy and grab a taildancer as they usually run truer. But thats me being lazy!

I havnt gone home for openor in about 10 years.

Probably wait till the lilacs come out, usually gets going then very good, 3rd week till 4th week.

Going to be a late spawn so stick close to the rivermouths and pick off the abundant males that should be still in the area.

If i got my dream job of Playboy photographer I would!

Just waiting on next weeks Bassmasters from Falcon Lake Texas. Should be alot of 10lb+ toads caught!

All of the public facilities in Halton have participated in Erath day shutdown yesterday.

I get daily power reports emailed to me.

They show me the hourly rate we get charged and how many kwh we have used.

Since the rate is determined by demand I will be VERY interested to see if Ontario Hydro rate dropped between 8 and 9pm last night.

If not I will be forwarding these charts to the media.

I would hate to see peoples efforts reduced to an increase in profit.

Speechless

Thats the ^&%$$%^& #&*^%$ MAN!!!!

I am more then green with envy....simply awesome dude...THANKS FOR POSTING!!

Been years since I did that at the mouth of Shelter Valley or Grafton creek, but you try there. Just not sure what access is like anymore.

Still lots of fish to come in.

Fresh roe is VERY important with still fishing.

Just got a 42 inch Sharp Aquios LCD and I really like it!

Get down with a torpedo diver!

Season ends in one week and my favorite spot FROZE OVER AGAIN!!!!!!~!!

This getting stupid now!

Montreal seams to be firing on all cylinders but a nagging thought in my head says you have to lose before you win i all.

I know its 6-1 montreal, but Ottawa has been there and many good teams cranck it up when it matters.

Are the Sens that bad or are they lazy????

Mepps

Those are killer shots man!

Got a new tripod for xmas going to have to set it up.

And Gbay.....shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh on the spot!!! LOL

Hey Bh.

That would work but the dude is never let out of the house anymore and since he has no cahoonas I am forced to fish by myself!

Joey.....now that suggestion I find offense to ;-)

A friend of mine has a Bowtech and she loves it. Thats serious cash.

If you are confortable setting up a bow from scratch there are some great deals on ebay from the states for New Hoyt vectrics for 500$

I have been thinking about it too, have an older Jennings Speedstar that I still use but an extra 75 fps and quiet shooting is really tempting me.

After all the debate about fishing pictures and the limitations of self photography it reminded me of something that happened 4 years ago.

I was staying for a week in Gbay and doing some Muskie fishing,

I found a primo spot and was waiting for the wweather to turn to see if it would produce. On the Wednesday of the week the weather set pefect with hazy humid weather and a big cold front coming in.

My second cast on the spot with a Jackpot resulted in a muskie hitting with about 8 feet of line out in the clear water.

I got a perfect look at him as he powered straight under the boat before he simply released the bait.

This fish was twice the size of my largest fish and I couldnt really estimate it since it was so far out of anything I had seen before.

I settled for 50-55 lbs.

Here comes the question.... as I was sitting there shaking like a leaf I realized there would have been no way to get a good picture of the fish without keeping it.

I didnt want to kill the fish but what if it had been more then 60??? your by yourself and cant get a good picture.

I have thouoght about it amny times and decided I would release the fish but leave it in the net reviving as long as i could hoping someone came by that could take the picture. That or quickly place it in the bottom of the boat for a quick photo ( not the greatest since you be doing more harm then good.

Just wondering what you would do.

BTW the very next cast after I settled down I caught a 14 pounder! It looked like a twig!
