pretty sure there at least 1 OFC'r that works at a Ford dealership. Try Autopark website too for pricing. I bought my Ford Expedition there abd found them to be very fair on price

Just thought I'd share my luck With my long distance calling plan called Niagara, Oakville, Toronto, Trenton, Orillia, North Bay stores to check on the 2 man Frabill huts No stock in any of those regions. They offered rain checks but from what 3 the stores told me the rain checks are only good for 30 days. My buddy seems to have picked up the last 2 man hut from trenton earlier in the week. Hung up and then thought Dang Why didin't I ask about the power auger!!!!!

Absolutely. the big key here to learn is to be able to pick a target and then hit it with a subtle soft water entry. Anyone can learn how to underhand cast but if your'e hitting the water hard you'll spook a lot of shallow water fish. I take my pitchin outfits out in the back yard about May and walk around pitching to the base of trees, under bushes in the garden. heck I even pretend the lawn chairs are docks. It gets me ready for opener way faster than trying to work the bugs out in the boat first few trips. Start trying to get accurate from 15-20 feet away. Distance will come later. get your technique down now. For me a 7ft rod has become my preference. I just feel more comfortable with that length. Another must to learn if you want to take your bass skills up a level is how to skip a bait like a tub or senko.

Like Rich says, as long as the fishes belly is not overly disteneded form being brought up to fast that fish is easily going to survive. Whitefish are suprisingly hardy. We catch a bunch up in temagami and they all take a few minutes to recup and thenm there off in a shot. Lakers have a bit more troubles with the swim bladder if broght up too fast.

It's me again #1 Extreme Reel Fan A few years back I picked up my first Extreme. I now have 6 and use these for all type of fishing especially flipping and pitchin for bass. Fished side be side with a Curado 200 I have. The Curados a better reel but for $69 I don't think you can buy a better bait caster. Cast spinnerbaits like a dream. I'll use the same reel pitchin 50lb braid for largemouth and then respool 10lb and fish topwater smallies. I really like them and they've never let me down. I bought a 200 sized last spring and it took all the abuse in Northern Manitoba catching 40" + pike and big lakers

I've bought a few other GBC lures at Grimsby tackle. It might have been these guys with a big 3/$10 table that had a bunch on minnow baits at the Fishing show.

Ricks correct, Overseas knock off of the Shad Rap. Little thicker body. I'm pretty sure I've seen these packaged under "The Great Canadain Bait Company. Somebody at the Spring Show had a clear out table of GCB baits but I don't know if any of these were in there. You can find these on ebay for sure. I've been buying the bigger Super Shad clones for a couple of years now. Get them on ebay from a guy in Florida. Paid $6 each including shipping.

At Spring Fishing Show Radioworld was by far best $. I've been looking for a good deal for a few months and narrowed my choice down to LMS522 . I'll use this unit for more downrigging/depewater so the LMS has nice power and feature set. Still reviewing the Hummingbirds before I make a final choice. 787 is a better $ and has the side scanning upgrade available.

Was wandering through CTC at Mavis and Britannia on Monday and saw they were clearing out the Hummingbird 535 for $114. On Monday they had 2 units. Not posted on the web site so you can't check where else this might be available. You can go instore and ask them to check the store computer for anything nearby. I'm set on a new colour/GPS upgrade or else I would have bought 1. Long time Lowrance user but my buddy won a Hummingbird last year and has been prety impressed over the summer

Arrived home to see the BPS Spring flyer sticking out of the mailbox. Looks wel read by the time it was delivered. I see something or interest on almost every page!!! Great price on Merc oil on one of the door crasher days. $0.94Cordell Spots too OH MY GOD A DAVE MERCER BOBBLE HEAD!!!!!! BPS Spring Flyer

big fat bass used to summarize most of the Canadian/Ontario circuits for the year probably extreme angler would have a similar page or link

Scorpion Tackle on the web has all of their pods in stock. From $39.99 up to $180 I bought my bite alarms off ebay. Paid $30 for 2 and they've worked great. Adjustable alarm and volume control. Take 9V battery and have never changed since they went in.

on bigger water with any kind of wind I would say no. I run a 17.5 creastliner and used a 6HP for a couple weeks on temagami as a kicker. I found on many days out there I would have liked a bit more power to battle the wind. If you've got one use it. If you're buying I would go bigger.

Bronte Outdoors, just south of Bronte and QEW increased his line up of carp gear and should be adding as summer comes through. He has ground and boilies there too. Fishing world has the best selection and has brought in some European corn - all kinds of flavors.

look very close to lynx tracks we see up in temagami . Can't really tell by the picture but looks close. Not to many round tracks out but cats.

me hopes to get there one day and one of my fav guitarists/singers

just be sure if you are in the kawarthas section 17, which includes scugog, all fishing is closed including crappie unitl last Sat in April. MNR watches Scugog very close the few weekends prior to opener looking for those that go for the first run in the boat and then pull out a rod.

So far so good for me. I've run the CX Premium, Flouroclear and Spectrex braid. All have worked very well for me (knock on wood). My first experience with the Flouro was as ET stated. tying worm harnesses for walleye and it impressed me on durability. I use the flouroclear now for all my leader material. Fished all day on Lake Joseph last week for lakers with an 8lb leader and never had to change once. Had multiple fish roll up in the leader too. I ran 17 CX on a bass rod and like how soft and smooth it was for pitching. I use a bunch of other lines too but I have confidence so far in buying anything from PLINE

Last night I drove buy 16 mile creek in Oakville right by the Go station. There was a mud line still left in the snow about 15ft higher than the river level last night. That would have been something to see. Will check it out tonight as I think the river surged and let loose last night but should be very high again this afternoon.

Hey Nauti, I agree with UB. I've had an Aquaview for a few years and after the initial novelty wore off I hardely use mine. Go on You tube and check out all the different posts to get an idea on underwater fish videos and the clarity/quality. The ones posted on the Aquaview site are done under the most ideal conditions. When I use mine its mainly for shallow water either open water or ice fishing. Most times it's a pain to get out, unravel the cord, try and see something below the boat and then wind it back up. Overall I wasn't all that impressed with clarity and visibility. Even with the UV light the amount you see is limited. By a good fish finder unless you're trying to keep the kids entertained.

Add me please Fang

Time to replace an old Lowrance. Would like a new colour GPS model for the console and take my Ultra Classic and move to the front deck. My old old X55 is pretty much done.

What fishing tourney is that one on. Can't seem to see a spot for a casting platform or electric motor so must be for downrigging!!!

Nice one TerryMust have been a different part of the lake. I was out off BBP with 6 other guys and for 6 hours 1 3lb laker was put on the ice. We got checked by MNR for licenses and they said they'd only seen a handful of fish today. Our walk out was slushy and tough! Maybe next weekend.

A good drum siphon pump makes a respectable water cannon and I'd put on a water balloon slingshot. Definitely go for stuff that the kids can terrorize the adults on shore with. The one problem with lights is maintainging the 12V battery. You'll also need to make sure it's got enough reflective markers as it will be left in the water overnight. The yard arm swing rope would be a blast, especially if the main deck was a few feet higher than the original pontoon deck. Although you'll have to watch it getting top heavy. Slide, diving board and swim up platform a must have
