  1. You'll most likely have better luck in the spring when the water temps are still low. When the water warms up, you'll want to fish closer to the headwaters (cooler water)
  2. Google maps, backroads road map, let us know how you make out. A lot of work goes into finding decent spots, not to many people will (or should) hand them out.
  3. Better then I've been doing lately Mike, good job bud!
  4. Yeah, exactly what we need, people running around with concealed weapons licenses... No thanks.. If you want to carry, move to the US. Although, looking at the amount of crime in the states that allow you to carry, it doesn't seem like more guns = more safety.
  5. That pike is a monster!!! I also REALLY like the look of that canoe compared to your other one
  6. I just make sure vendors that sell me stuff from the US will also declare the value below $40US when shipping it to Canada It that legal? Not really.... does it bother me not to pay outrageous brokerage and shipping fee's? No to much
  7. Nice brownie!! All released? Pinching the barbs really helps when you get into the smolts. I try to not catch those little buggers.
  8. I don't think that pic is big enough, can you make it bigger? lol Pinch the barbs on all your hooks and read the regs before you go.
  9. Raf, I know a few guys that use this... http://www.usaddressinc.com/mailbox.html
  10. I nailed 2 early season shakers on the Notty last Sept(3-4lbs maybe). It's not even a hit, it's like they annihilate it. I've never had fish fight that hard before. It was unreal. One second you are reeling in the spinner, the next your reel is lit up and you've lost 50 yrds of line in no time.
  11. Just got some polarized Bolle Habu's in the mail yesterday. Bolle is known for good optics and I don't have any complaints yet. They are replacing a pair I absolutely destroyed over the past 2 years
  12. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! BFG All Terrain TA's would be my choice also.
  13. I am sure hiking along that creek put a smile on that kids face. Always wondering what's beyond that next corner
  14. Start stocking that in the Credit.
  15. We really need the death penalty in Canada for people like this.
  16. NO IT'S NOT THE INTERNET IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  17. I'd be pissed at the car company for not giving you a full sized spare
  18. I'd stick with worms to tell you the truth.
  19. Good job Berge!
  20. Yeah, as long as I can find a launch other then the one at Innisfil Beach The lake reminds me of Erie, smallmouth should be a lot of fun out there. How was the camp?
  21. Dave and I hit up Lake Simcoe this morning to try our luck at some whities. After arriving at the ramp at 5:40am, we quickly realized the park didn't open until 6am After paying an exuberant amount of money to launch the boat, we were off to our destination. So much for forecast of only 10km/h winds. We get out there and it's blowing pretty good, easily a 2-3ft chop. The best part about the morning was the fact that the anchor was not holding. Perhaps I need to pick up a 30lb anchor, who knows... It shouldn't take much to hold a 15' Legend. We lost more fish then we caught... After somewhat getting some control of the boat with numerous F>N>F>N>F>N gear shifts we almost had a vertical jig going.. I had the first hit, bowed the rod like you wouldn't believe and a few cranks of the handle and it was off. Dave was up next, he actually landed this first, or was it the second? I can't remember... A nice whitie. About 5 mins later my rod doubles over and I actually get a hook up. Got it close to the surface and noticed it was a Laker. Once it saw us it started sounding and screamed off 20 or 30 yards of line in no time. Nice little guy, maybe 5lbs or so.. after a few pics she was back in the lake. We both missed 3-4 fish at this spot, they hit pretty good for being 90ft down. We wanted to get out of the pack so we followed the chartplotter to some promising looking water. Fishing out here reminds me of watching novice hockey, ala the pack of bee's. If one person moves, then you might get 2-3 boats that follow. When we hit our second spot, I got an immediate hookup, got it half way to the boat then it was off. After I dropped it back down, I got another good smack. After that it looked like we were being attacked from all sides, lol. Boats coming towards us like you wouldn't believe, it was hilarous. Although the funniest part of the day was watching the 5-6 russian dudes out in 8ft dingies. I couldn't help but laugh, what were these guys thinking? Ah well.. We packed it in around 11am or so, as soon as the wind stopped and the sunlight came out.
  22. #0 and #1 Bluefox and the smallest Panther Martins you can find.
  23. To bad we don't have an IQ requirement on this forum....
  24. It sure beats reruns of the same shows, over and over.
