cranks bait

I've always liked Kenora everytime I've gone through there. Would really like to fish up there some day. Porky's restaurant was always a highlight of my trip accross the country.

Been a while since I was there. Used to live in the first house on the south side right beside the row houses. If you lived in the neighborhood all your life you might be one of the ones I used to babysit, just by looking at your age in your profile.

Used to live on Marsh Drive. Then moved to Elvins Gardens. When we moved the tree fort we had built was still up and in the tree of our new back yard. (used to be a wooded area before that) Went to school at Princ of Wales and then on to Quinte.

i live close to the Moira in town. This is a picture of me just above the old dam last August chasing some very small smallmouth with the fly rod.

 

 

Anyway THAT is what the Moira looks like during low water. Sam's last 2 pictures are of the SAME place. Gives you an idea of how much water is moving though their right now, and what they are up against.

 

-R-

I know exactly where you are. I used to be one of those dumb kids that shot the hole in the dam behind you. I used to live almost straight up the hill.

It's amazing how much that river rises and falls. I remember downtown was always a disaster in the spring.

Hope this are starting to calm down for you? Downtown Belleville must be a mess? I grew up near Prince of Wales School and this was a yearly occurance to have happen.

BTW If any one is missing about a 8' x 30' dock its jammed in the dam at Coboconk

I don't think it is there anymore, as I saw it float past my house here this morning

I too was getting disgruntled at the advertising comercials, because I am paying for this channel. Then I realized, I also pay for all the other channels and they are a lot worse. It's just the case that this is the newest one for me and the one that interests me (next to discovery). It does suck, but it could also be worse.

The on-line method only works for renewals.

I take it this means that the only way to get one is to physically waste a day to go to the States to get a lic.?

Guess I'll have to rethink doing the WFN Canadian Open in Kingston, as I cannot see me going to the other side for just a licence, which is required.

Just make sure you have a spare cord before you head out. I got stuck once and had to pull the one out of my front trolling motor. Both batteries dead, and me floating like an idiot. That was the first time I used the boat. I guess when the marina said the batteries were good to go, they ment on the charger

If you were in a tourney, I don't think it would count as you did not have the fish with the lure or in the net, thus no control of the fish.

That being said, who cares great story. Deffinately a story for the grandkids. Write the story beside the picture for all to read. Heck you could even tell the story as you just caught it by hand. Big Bad Lew the Great Muskie Catcher!!!!

Yes thank you Tinbanger for bringing my aution item as well. Jamie I'm glad I was able to do this for you. Great community here. I meet more and more members every day.

Glad to hear it went well, and you got your vehicle back.

I got a Cumara last year when it was introduced. 7 ft MH drop shot. This rod is amazing. I have not drop shoted with it yet, but I have used it consistantly with cinkos and tubes. Amazing feel and back bone. The first couple of times I was setting the hook when all I was doing was hiting bottom. Really sensative. After a few times I got used to it. I can recommend it for sure. Night and day between the same Compre that I have. I now have a Crucial as well to compare, but not till Sunday perchin'.

The winner of the Extreme Angler "beef jerky" contest is a customer of mine and a guy I ride with. Steve Harper, if you're on this board congratulations. Didn't even know you fished. We'll have to hook up some time.

Just curious as to how your van is coming along? Everything working out alright?

I have a white deep diving reef runner that has really performed well with catching pike, walleye, and bass. I believe it is the 4-5 inch model. Trolling I can hit 30 feet at 2-2.5 miles. I have tried several other lures but this is the one that outdoes them all.

How much Tequila does it take to make a margarita that big?

All depends on the ramp. At the cottage It is a very slight incline. I usually unhook everything and just back into the water and stop. Usually rolls off nice and easy. Here at home we have very steep ramps. For this I undo everything except the winch strap. Back down the ramp to the bumber of the truck to get deep enough that the boat will not "drop" and hit bottom. Get out and crank it out till it floats.

I have been able to drive onto the trailer and have the boat stick so I can grab the winch and load it myself. Have not tried this here yet, I usually just crank it onto the trailer here as it is so steep the boat will slide off before I can get to the front.

I have a 17 foot modified aluminum jon bass boat with a roller trailer. I know, bad, but it works for now.

I've never been skunked. I have been out on days where I let line out and rinse lures however. Those are days that I am just out enjoying the day on the water.

I try not to remember those days, as I have had a few four in a row maybe. I also remember coming home muttering a few words as to how it was a waste of gas to go out. I just try and remember that everyday I get out is a good one.

Gerritt,

Being that I am right smack dab in the middle of the St. Lawrence I can at least answer part of this question. Although I do not know the regs regarding this. I do however live above a marina and beside the yacht club, thus I see a lot of boats.

Almost all of the dive boats here have a radar antenna and maybe half of the cruisers in the yacht club. I know when I am out night fishing a steam ship can pick me up really easily. When they get close they usually give be a beam of light (that hurts the freakin eyes) as a warning that they are there as you cannot really tell from the navigation lights where they really are.

That's all I got for you right now.

I'm with Marcer on this question. I searched for any info on a fish club/tournaments here in the Brockville area. That is how I came upon this site. I know they are out there I just cannot find any info for the local ones.

Thats hilarious! Who does that??

It's not that uncommon. I get asked almost weekly for a trailer or stroller to put cats and dogs in, sometimes even a basket. They get annoyed when it's not a flat surface for their pet on the inside. No kiddin' maybe that's because they are made for people?

Anton, great job on getting out there. Wish I could say the same. Keep up the great work.

Hee hee funny. Grandma better be careful or she'll end up doing this.

I wear Tifosi Dolomites http://www.tifosioptics.com/. They are polorized as well as phototec, meaning the lens darkens as it gets brighter, and vise versa, while it is a light tint to look through at all times. I like these ones because they cover the corners of they eye really well. These retail for $129.95 in our store. I have been wearing several different glasses from this company and really like them. Another pair I have is Peppers, they are at least 12 years old and out of business now I think?

Might have to get Cranks bait to pick one of those up for me too!

 

(just kidding Scott)

LOL As soon as I saw your name I was thinking the same thing. All the stores around here say they have them in stock, they don't say how many though.
