Scotty, hands down. Canadian made for one. Fairly accessable and responsive pro staff willing to help if any issues arise. Yes they have a big "footprint" in comparisson to other riggers, but they are the most durable, longest lasting riggers out there.

Banana Smelts are one of my faves now. I am also looking forward to the new jointed models. Musky guys, have you seen the various new Sucker models that are now out? The new Bait ball series is quite the concept... jerk bait model is gonna be HOT!

x2 good times for sure cant forget Roger (Rizzo) pulling his gear out in the infamous pink Barbie sled

some of my best friends and many fishing buds were a result of OFC times change tho.... still very grateful of TJ and the mods past and present for their efforts

I recall Craig Ritchie sharing here before about Tennesse offering good open water angling in the winter...

most enjoyable icefishing Skunk ive had was that day...

LMAO!

Another exciting season is coming up and there's lots to look forward to once Mother Nature gives us the green light! if you read the recent NewYorks Lake Ontario 2012 Fisheries Program Hilights http://www.dec.ny.go...012hilights.pdf there are certainly many positives to be found for the "state of the lake" there's no doubt that various pen imprinting stocking projects, as well as habitat restoration work being done by many groups around the lake are contributing to our fantastic fishery many of these groups & clubs also hold various tournaments & derbies to support & celebrate these ventures: St Catharines Game & Fish Assc. Strait Line Anglers Club Port Credit Salmon & Trout Assc. Metro East Anglers Central Lake Ontario Sportsmen's Assc. I'll encourage you to look up a group that is near you and perhaps you may want to participate with them... have a fun, safe & successful season out on the big pond everyone! Mark

no need to travel far for stellar fishing when Lakes Erie, Ontario & the Niagara river are all 20 minutes away that said, I hope to make it back to my 'ol stompin grounds in the Kawarthas for a few days & possibly my 1st trip to LSC

great story! Ron's a gem!

"The Ballad Of The Coho Salmon"

join the C.L.O.S.A. club Geritt, many fine folks out that way

around the Niagara & Golden Horseshoe, the Strait Line Anglers Club runs a vairiety of different derbys & tournaments on various bodies of water for all species. http://www.straitlineanglers.com

thanks! I assume the Go train goes to Union, then we'll have to take a connection to the Ex (Direct Energy centre?)

I am thinking about taking my 5 yr old to either one of these upcoming shows. I would like to enhance the experience for him by taking the Go Train in from Burlington. I think going to Sportsmens show at the Ex plays better? Can anyone please make any reccomendations? For the sake of the transit schedule, i think we would be going on the Sat or Sunday. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!

I prefer the Live Target frogs...

looking forward to it Shane is a great speaker & the meeting are a fun night out amongst fellow anglers
