the problem with relevant fishing posts being moved to "announcements" is that they dont get the same amount of views as "which snowblower should i buy?"

im a big fan of the line up of Koppers Live Targets this brown crushed the shiner model gonna give the smelt patterns a go in a couple weeks behind planner boards along Lake Ontario's south shore

been here for over 8 years i think now.... Have fished with & met off the water many kind folks here over that time frame. Though they(we) dont all post here very often nowadays, many of us are still very close & still fish together regularly. Colin was the very 1st person I met from here & we spent a 2004 January day on Scugog. A couple weeks after that I then met folks like Pigeonfisher, Raf (boostnawd), DipLip, Cory, Joey & Paul, Speil, TEP, Ron, Bosc, YO, Lew, Rizzo (Roger) on Lake Simcoe at a little derby we did for Childrens Wish. Aftr that I then soon met the "bulk" of most OFC regulars at Quinte, Lakair and the infamous "Nip Trip" at Rob Hyatts. DanC, one day I'd like to make it up your way one day to chase speckles, tip beers & talk sports

spend as much time outside (and on the boat) as possible with my 3yr old son probably be seeing you a few times at that "spot" again Bruce come ice-out

Would like to thank all those you came out for our annual Steelhead derby on the lower Niagara River yesterday. Despite having to postpone the event for the last two weeks, we had a good turnout of both shore & boat anglers. we also managed to luck out with the weather & river conditions for this un-predictable time of year. There was approximately 2 feet of visibility, not a breath of wind, and plenty of trout were caught throughout the river by everyone. My partner & I got a mix of browns & bow's including a kicker for Thom. It seemed like everyone had a respectable trout to weigh in for themselves. Here's what the top results were Jay Whitley 11.80 Kim Porier 10.95 Thom Genders 10.90 Denis Kreeze 10.50lbs Gerald Koestier 9.60 Perry porier 9.20 Paul Castellano 9.20 While not mandatory, live-release is greatly encouraged and many of the fish were put back in the river no worse for wear. More photos and even a video of the weigh-in should be up soon on the club's website as well @ www.straitlineanglers.com I'd also like to extend an open invite to all to check out our next monthly meeting at our new location, the Grimsby Legion on Tuesday Jan 4, 7pm. We are excited to have Grant McAllister of G2 Angling, ( www.G2Angling.com ) who will give a seminar on Ice Fishing the Bay Of Quinte

great report fellas!

enjoy the new toy with your son Bruce!

agree with wayne although I admire innovation, ill stick with tried, tested & true

thanks for your interest fishing starts at 730am for everyone, shore anglers must park at Queenston and can fish as far there legs can take them, no getting your car and driving to the whirlpool I am not running the tournamnet, I am just a member of the club thats organizing it

due to the prevaling conditions, SLA's annual steelhead derby at Queenston has been rescheduled to SAT DEC 11 open to all to attend http://straitlineanglers.com/NiagaraRiverSteelheadDerby.htm sorry for any inconviences

right on Fish Farmer im pretty sick & tires of all the couch potatoes bashing him and all the shore lunch cracks i'll say it again, he's the "don Cherry" of ontario fishing,and love'em or hate'em he has contributed a lot to this sport that we love

SAT DEC 4 is the new date http://straitlineanglers.com/NiagaraRiverSteelheadDerby.htm

Shane "guided" me & Bricknblock (Peter) one march day in 2006... took us out in the old "tonka truck" and hauled us around to a few spots over the day trying to get us on the whiteys ive herd many fine stories about him over the years.... he certainly lived hard, worked hard & played hard & has now left us too earlyRIP Shane, condolences to the family, friends & buddies

Geoff Hoover @ Wild Reels, Port Burwell, Lake Erie

i'll have a meal of fish that ive caught every second week on average... most of 'em being salmon & steelhead i do smoke many as well, as they make tasty snacks when out in the boat

wouldnt be suprised if there were a few more submerged lower units in that stretch... allways enjoy your reports Erik used to fish there a lot, have only been once in the last 2 yrs...

check out www.spoonpullers.com loads of info there for ya

John, I jave great respect for all the groups across the lake who volunteer $$$ & time for the good of the fishery, thank you like FM said, its tough when we are fishing for salmon with large trebles & flasher/flies & the rainbows start pecking away at our spread of baits,,, as long as limits are followed & no fish are wasted, you cant really ask us to do more.... and yes I do fish for rainbows in the fall/winter as well so i do value the fishery that we are fortunate to have

i love "we're here beer"

good info here.... thanks guys

good fishing steve, nice to see some bows showing too i thought you had sold the Thompson?

ive always liked 'em myself i think JB's tackle should have them?

Ive used many riggers on different boats Scotty or Big Jon are the best right out of the box
