Ive been hammering pike on buckshots tipped iwth minnow heads this year. 20lb flurocarbon lead. Cant go wrong with a tip up either!

one of the most important posts ive seen on this site in a long time. Well done sir

jeff chisholm has posted his phone number openly on social media. Shoot him some fishing questions with the #bellletstalk

glad to see theres still some eyes in that lake. My good buddy is ditching me to fish nipp this weekend, i wonder if he will fair anywhere near as well. Thanks for the write up and beauty eye

gotta love when the catching gets annoying haha. Well done

just saying, ive seen a holy punched in fibreglass from the shield, and have yet to see a rivet pop or a hole punch in an aluminum. I unfortunately havent had to opportunity to fish a skeeter or ranger, but id obviously take someone up on the offer if made. I will add to the anti merc sentiment...we have a 350 mercruiser on our rinker...and a 175 johnson from 93 on the glasstron. The merc is a pain in the you know what. Ive kind of lost a lot of faith in domestic built anything anymore, and i drive a new dodge ram lol. Our ski-poos have also been nothing but trouble...surprise surprise.

been riding in a 93 glasstron nearly my entire life. maybe im just biased because i havent rode in a lund or alumacraft under 18feet long? my only experience under 18 was in a smoker...and that thing is terrible. the ride comparison to me is not that substantial enough to overcome the peace of mind that an aluminum can clip a rock and not sink. Most lakes are rocky around here unless you are south or east.

you sir need to take a rip in a lund or alumacraft...80kmh across chop...hardly feel a thing.

alumacraft...lund quality at a lower price. Plus they are gorgeous we just got one and its the best boat I have ever been in. fished a smoker craft...not a fan at all feels flimsy my starcraft tinner has been bulletproof. 15 years old and looks new to this day. Yamaha outboards...nothing but problems with mercs

that makes a lot more sense. The processing of the fish was being mishandled and therefore they were in violation. My guess is that they had left the fish processing to newer employees and the situation was being totally mismanaged. I fished Massett this summer and Its pretty pathetic to be honest the way fish processing and handling is managed up there. I had my catches processed by a company called haida wild and they had mis-identified some of our catches as well. I will say that 35,000 is a joke fine for a place like that when considering the fact that a trip to one of those lodges costs upwards of 6 grand for a week. Its also sad to hear that there is that much abuse of the system going on when the fishing has definitely been in decline over the past 20 years.

my buddy picked up a huge collection...it seems that the collection had passed through the hands of a few people who had taken what they wanted and then passed it on. This is nuts though.

For your monday morning

honestly iron, every dispensary I have been in has been the complete opposite. Clean, well lit, straight forward. Consider the neighborhood I guess.

the fish dies im putting it back in the lake if my limit is zero. i might at least cut the swim bladder out of it to ensure that it sinks rather then letting the turd hawks eat it.

cant say i disagree with splitting the NF from the fishing threads. I would like it if the reports that i spent 7 hours making didnt dissapear to the second page within an evening because of a multitude of daily joke and poltiical threads bump it. Im not hating on these threads because they are appropriately placed in the general discussion tab, but maybe our reports and fishing related questions can be placed somewhere more appropriately? That way people actually see that youve posted a report without having to flip back pages?

i guess the same goes for ottawa as well...no cups ever

they have a similar rule in Parry Sound Harbour for lake trout. The season is open but the limits are 0 between a certain period.

my take is that it is too lenient. 2500 in fines plus not being allowed to fish in ontario for 3 years? meh Lifetime ban at a minimum because they are foreigners.

seconded, the possession limits apply at a conservation status level.

i throw a weight on my wire leader. Wire leader down to a red treble hook through the dorsal. (this is for pike) as mentioned before. i love a small spinner blade at the hook as well to make a bit of flash.

still swearing by a flasher over a sonar...but thats just me!

ive been playing mens league hockey 2 times a week for 6 years, not once have i hit that part of the net, not to mention from in that tight, it pretty much defies physics. im pretty much 99% sure the window he shot through is smaller than a puck. the only image that matters

funny story outta our camp from last fall. We had a friend up for the fall pickerel run. While deadsticking Bernie hooked into a perch and admittedly took his sweet time reeling err in in the off chance that a pike would t bone him. After playing this perch like a laketrout sure enough it happens, smack a 6lb pike takes the perch and the fight is on. Bernie running 4lb mono on a light stick is in for a hell of a fight. just as he finally ends his epic battle he culls the pike for lunch and wouldnt you know it...the MNR pulls up to the boat hahaha. Bernie is now sweating thinking holy crap, i bet that perch is hooked right through the lips in that pike's belly. The first question outta the MNR is, "hey you kept that pike, do you mind if we take some samples?" Bernie says sure!...they then take the pike and cut its belly open! Bernie is a big old cape bretoner but my brother said he never saw bernie sweat so much in his entire life hahahaa. In the end the MNR took their samples and everyone went on their merry way. Was funny as hell though.

i use proper tip up line. I have sent you a PM with details of how ive been rigging mine and outfishing myself every trip this year lol

big cliff with a big old report...wish there were pics! well done gents
