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

AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Finally the secret is out. We've been doing this for years. Take uncooked spaghetti and break it into teeny pieces- no bigger than 1". Cook thoroughly and drain. Put into a ziploc bag and here's the secret part. Don't tell anyone Go to the grocery store and in the baking area you'll find NEON food colouring. To the ziploc bag add in a few drops of whatever color turns you're crank. I usually have 2 bags with me, one green, one orange or red. Many days if I do take a whitefish home, I've found some of my chum inside the stomach. One bit of advice though, only put down a small pinch every 30 minutes or so. You want enough to just keep them around not fill em up. The bits of spaghetti seem to glow on the bottom when you drop a camera down

Have tried many things to sit on over the years. none of them really comfortable. Picked up 2 of these this morning. Nice and light, very sturdy and fold up nice and compact Folding stool Can't wait to ditch those folding lawn chair. man those are hard on the back.

I have 2 of the BPS Pro Qualifier reels and picked up one of those rod and reel combos when they were on sale at xmas. I use the 1000 size that seems to be much better with the bail that the bigger ones. Take the free rod for what's it's worth - free. If you're loking for a rod to pair up with the PQ reel just wait till spring and those extremes will probably go on sale and you'll have the old free rod as a back up. That sahara and extreme is a very nice combo and good price but you're still sitting with the perfomance rod. Just went to the WAR room and had a closer look at that free rod. Outside the fact that it probably needs another guide on it seems like a decent enough rod. 6'6" MH that I'll give a shot on slugos and senkos.

Rob, Temagami is a special lake that takes a special drink. For me it's 24 of Miller MGD and for playing cards at night it's a bottle of Yukon Jack stuck in the snow bank. email is on its way, enjoy your self up there and be safe.

Hey Wayne, lets see if at least 2 fish can come from temagami, this year

Sitting round the puter drinkin beer and strummin the Martin. Playing a little GnR and Neil. I hope I don't scare anyone but here's my You Tube hero. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=32YqPDrG-TQ When Tom Petty retires to the south!!!! and even a Hunter S Thompson reference. even better one http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=w3vWpgQ4v_A&...feature=related

I run 4 scottys on my boat. 2 rods for lead core and 2 rods with big dipseys. Never had a problem. Even swap out the rigger rods in the scottys when fighting a fish and have to clear lines I always run a tether line though just in case. Take a 4ft peice of 1/4" soft rope, not the yellow nylon stuff. Tie one end to your boat cleats and then tie on a carabeener (Climbing clip). I fasten the carabeener around the rod blank in front of the reel. It's quick and easy to pop off when fighting a fish and get's rid of the worry your probably having about loosing a rod. Now if you go to a wire dispey rod I'd look at something a little more stronger.

BPS Vaughan is selling the Eagle 320 for $199 and with some McGivering you can easily rig it with 2-6V and make it portable. I really like the full screen LCD as I can look away for a bit and still have a brief record of fish on the graph. Been ice fishing with an old X55 for years now and it works fine.

Hey Silvio, Been flogging the trout and whiefish on Simcoe for a few years and here's what works for me. I jig with the small williams on a light to medium set up. Normal spinning reel with good drag and I like 10lb braid now over mono and tie in a flouro leader. I do chum the whole a bit every 1/2 or so. Small bits of cooked spaghetti colored with neon food coloring. I can't count the number of whitefish I've brought home over the years that have had spaghetti in their belly. When fishing in a group I beleive chumming makes fish stay around my area longer Always fish a set line with 1-2 side lines and 3" minnows about 10-15 off the bottom. Catch trout and whitefish on this.

I really hope he's 4'2". hose are monster racks

It's a bit more of a drive but you can stay in North bay for around $50 a night. Takes a little more than 1 hr to hit the end of the access road from north bay. I think one of the better motels at the top of the hill on #11 is called Beaumark. It's the cleaner one of the 2. Driving to the end of the access road (18 km) will be your best bet as you can continue right on and out to the lake. One note though a lot of the locals don't care for parking on the ice road. If you walk out follow the ice road to the right. There's a few spots you can set up but don't fish around the groups of huts already set up. Get a map of the lake and the best spot would be the open expanse behind (north) of Ketchuneny, again don't crowd his huts just north of his island. You might want to poke around out there but anything in the 90-100 FOW will produce some roaming trout and whitefish. From the ice road no more than a 15 minute walk will get you in a spot. Also if you travel the ice road around the point toward Bear island either side of the road will put you in 60-80 FOW and there's trout and whitefish to be had in through there If you call up to Loon lodge you might be able to rent huts of him or another place Adanac Tackle for the day. The going rate for accomodations and a hut for the day on the hub is around $200 per guy per day.

Go to google maps and type in Daytona beach fishing. My fav is the full day party boat. easy on the pocket book at $100 a guy and you do catch lots of sea bass and snapper with a good shot at a few grouper. If there's only 2 of you call down and see if any of the charter boats have a split trip. That's were another small party is booked and will allow another small group to go out and split the full charter cost. Critter Fleet is right at the pass and has a decent party boat set up. If you do the party boat get there early so you can take a spot at the very back of the boat for fishing. A muskie rod set up is all you need for this fishing. Pick up weights and bait rigs down there.

White 5" flipping tubes. These have the solid head and are best for slipping on the back of an airplane jig.

Just did a quick hit on their site and all scarborough stores are out of stock. I did see In stock status at Leslie and Lakeshore CTC. I'd still call in advance

Oh Thats not fair. I'm sitting here scouring Selloff vacations for something south and can't find too much nice for Jan 24th

They've also got some heaters on sale. Infra red heater

2 minutes of giggling and then I realized what your post was really about

Would there be any way this year for individual entries to be made by team members direct to the site. That way the Captains are not overwhelmed by team members about pm's, fish size and updates Maybe a team post that the members could submit a fish on the thread and the captain would summarize the first post only to show summary. When a bigger fish is entered the original post could be deleted for that fish. We would all have to curtain the chatter and nice fish comments between fish posts though or each thread would be 200 replies long

also works well for both trout and whitefish

Usually never change this routine with a williams or other sppons unless I start seeing high fish on the finder drop down to 5ft off the bottom 6" lift, repeat 1-2 minutes 1 12-24" pull and lower down slowly so you keep contact with the spoon sit still for a 10-15 seconds and repeat, watch the graph and any time the bottom line thickens up drop the spoon right down on the bottom and then real up 10-15ft. Jig there a few times and then return to 5ft above bottom I've get most hits on that longer pull and even when the spoon is at rest. At rest I beleive the spoon is spinning to releave the line twist. I also fish a type of blade bait on Simcoe called a Blue Fox Wiggle stick. Like a rapala, when you jig this it goes around in a circle. Lots of guys out on long shoal will jig these for 5-10 minutes and then let them hang above the bottom and the line will get unspun. Saw a lot of fish hit these lures when they were just left to spin.
