Find the edges, transitions and you'll find the pike.

I've got buddies that have been fishing for a long time, some like the super lines, some are still fishing mono. As long as you're putting fish on the bank, that's all that really matters.

Really windy today boys, keep that in mind. Wind doesn't help ice production.

A float rod having a huge swing radius is why you can get away with the zero stretch braid on a centerpin, that plus a little reel control goes a long way.. You'll definitely get some bedding after fighting a fish, but that can easily be taken care of with the next cast.. If you can't make a bomber cast, then just a longer drift and you're just fine. It doesn't make sense that you'll have bedding issues for 3 or 4 drifts after catching a fish.. Your first drift after the fish should take care of that. I also found that using a thicker backing with superlines/braids helps with bedding. It's definitely not the perfect line (I don't think anything is) but it's got way more positives then minuses in my book.

I'd dropshot if there was heavy current. Really doesn't matter how heavy you go as the weight will be on bottom. Go as heavy as you need to in order to stay vertical.

I think we are being trolled, lol.

If it's been registered to him, he can go to the MTO and for $10 get a new ownership printed. Then he'll just transfer it to you and you're golden. Or you can tell the MTO it's home made and they'll print off a new ownership for you.. Either way works.

We've got grouse around here? LOL!

Who wants a line that mends like crazy, doesn't twist, has no stretch and casts like a dream. It sounds like you've never actually tried braid/superline on a pin, because you're accounts of what will happen when you do aren't very accurate, lol.

Like Mike mentioned, Nanofil in above zero temps (I run 6lb, casts a mile) and whatever mono you like in the below zero temps.

All you had to do is follow the flock! LOL! Slammed the whities out there like crazy.

It changed every year, lol.

Lake Simcoe has many secrets!

I can't find Slyville on the map!

Let me know where and I'll go take care of it, lol.

Awesome.

Polar bear scared the crap out of Mike and I on the Sutton River this year. About 30-40ft upstream (It crossed towards us).. It was interesting to say the least.

Lightning deterrents!

Yup, Vistaprint rocks.

I need to get my tinfoil hat!

That would be the man you'd fish with if you want a monster.

Simon, you're making all of us very jealous!

Thanks for the heads up Skip, we can always use more lures! I'll have to check out the flea market.

Why not just get bait in Lefroy?
