Follow the pack of russian dudes in 10ft dingies... Shouldn't be to hard to spot

I was just about to post the exact same thing..

People are stupid.

Yup, rainbow smolt. If you are catching lots of them, you should probably move. Those are future steelhead

Uh no you can't chief. At least we found one person here that targets out of season fish. Good job, you should be banned.

Now THAT must have been a big surprise!!

Dan, looks like an awesome weekend bud! I know what you are talking about with the bass, couldn't keep them away this weekend.

I caught few while out fish for crappie on Sunday. I was using a 1/32nd oz steelhead jig with a Gulp maggot, lol... Usually though if I gave it a lot of slack they were able to spit it out and get off. I think I only had to bring 3 to the boat. I'd switch from fishing the wood, then to some docks, then out at the drops but the bass were everywhere. Same thing went while casting in the morning for pike, suicidal smallmouth bass just wouldn't stay off the 6in Grandma... I tell you one thing though, the spawn will be well over when opener arrives.

I'm not a fan of big flouro leaders for pike or musky if I'm fishing topwater. They tend to sink and pull the nose of the baits I'm using down with them. If I am throwing something like a TopRaider then it really doesn't matter to much, but a Zara Spook or similar, I'll go with a mono leader of the same lb test..

young pike = stripes, mature = spots...

If you are going to dunk the joint, your only choice is solder. (If you want it to last for any amount of time)

Love me some Powerstroke!! Now if I could combine the Ford SuperDuty body, the Cummins I6 and the Allison Tranny I'd be in heaven

Panther Martins are always a great trout spinner, sounds like you had a good night! I also got eaten alive out lastnight on the Severn River, lol...

So go out and troll for some 'bait'

It's a Liger!

I wasn't bagging on you Lew, sorry if it came across like that I just think that's a bit funny...

A towing article and not one diesel truck listed? LOL!!!!!

No plans yet.. Maybe Simcoe, maybe GBay, maybe some trout streams...

HOLY CRAP!!!! lol My bad, that's a hell of a lot of minnows to bring on a plane

Slow down and find the first weed edge out from the spawning bays.. With the warm temps the fish have most likely been out of the shallows for a while. Jerk baits with long pauses, swimbaits etc...

You used 120 minnows and caught 2400 fish?

My parents are about a mile or so where that took place. Not a tonne of bears but it's not odd to see 1-2 a week. They had one up on the porch last year that knocked over the BBQ and licked the grease off it for about 20mins or so, lol.

There are some absolute monster resident browns in a system I fish fairly regularly (I'm talking close to, if not over double digits).. I hooked into one last year that was in the 4-5lb range and it made a fool out of me and my UL setup, lol.. I'll get that bugger this year I hope

Haven't been out on Gloucestor Pool this year yet, although I usually fish it quite a bit. Need to go out and get some snakes

Avid for the lifetime warranty if nothing else. I have a MH 1pc 7ft fast action that's my go to rod for pretty much everything that requires a baitcaster unless I'm tossing big muskie baits.
