  1. I think you meant to post this in the classifieds
  2. As long as it was frozen, it will be good for years. I've used 2-3 year old roe without issue after defrosting.
  3. I run 2 swivels in my rig. Nanofil to swivel to shot line to swivel to leader. I haven't lost a float in a loooong time with this setup.. Unless there is a nick in my mainline, the leader/shot line always pops first.
  4. As long as the reel doesn't get wet, it won't freeze up. Although if it does, it will be a block of ice.. Happens to the guys on the rivers in the winter float fishing...
  5. Funny, I saw that exact reel on the river today. Nice meeting you man, get those bearings replaced and that thing will spin forever.
  6. Swivel above the float, slip floats, Wallis cast or using braid are all ways to avoid line twist. I run a swivel above my float with braid, no line twist issues ever....
  7. No thanks... Only time I wander down that was is in the spring with the Lund to chase fish off Port Weller
  8. It's not even Halloween yet man, lol! October isn't known to be a killer month for chrome..
  9. It's Lake Ontario, it could be anything.
  10. The border guards aren't smart enough to ID the fish anyhow.. I've never been bothered about it.
  11. I've never seen anyone step on a fish before to milk it... That would be something to see.
  12. It is when you can go down to the cleaning stations in August and get pounds and pounds of it for absolutely nothing.
  13. Sounds like Florida is going to be the ticket. Make sure you come back with a full report!
  14. LOL!!!! That's hilarious... Ask to see their permit.
  15. EcoBoost gets about the same mileage as the V8 unfortunately. I'm sure Ford is pulling their hair out over that.
  16. Depends on the river.. a 10ft float rod is fine for any of the east ditches, you'd be outgunned on a few of the Huron/GBay tribs. Float rods have both reel seats and sliding rings. Doesn't make it any more or less of a float rod
  17. You're not going to find a pike bonanza in any of the southern states... You'd have to go north (Just like up here) to get into some big ones. Bass however won't be an issue.
  18. There's definitely a hole there somewhere, you just gotta find it.
  19. I pulled 3 fish over 40 from that back bay, although it looked A LOT different when we fished it, lol!
  20. Oakvillebassguy needs that 17' for Bronte
  21. Sure it's legal... But you've probably be better off fishing with emeralds then 4-6in smelts for 13in perch. I guess you could always take those un-used smelt you'll have at the end of the day and fry them up at home! So it's a win/win in your case
  22. Live smelts for perch? The smelt in Simcoe are monsters... I doubt the perch are feeding on them with any sort of regularity.. As far as perch are concerned, use exactly what you'd use through the ice.
