Eric, I'll take any roe donations you have :)

I bet that trailer place makes a killing of selling OEM trailer bearings Who puts grease in their centerpin anyhow? I think 2-3 drops of sewing machine oil is about it. Bearing buddies have an automatic relief valve, so I dunno how you'd ever 'overfill' your axle with grease. Like I said, I've never replaced a bearing on a trailer when using these.

You think it's out of season fishing that's killing the steelie population? lol Look at the regs where it says Zone 20, S - 5, there's your answer.

I'm not going to say it, but I'm sure someone will

I didn't think OOS fish could count as a PB Nice to know there are some nice bass in that lake with it being 5 mins away from the house.

Don't scratch it Wayne, he cringed anytime we rubbed up against the rocks :)

Says the guy from Hamilton :D

A boat trailers best friend!!!!! Always had bearing buddies on our trailers. No dead bearings yet

Curado is a good reel along with the Citica.. I don't think you can go wrong with any baitcaster from a number of companies... They all make a decent product.

Did you eat that thing?

One thing I miss about living in St.Kitts!!!!! Awesome kings!

I never fish that part of the river, perhaps I should try Good report!!

Luis, I'm not in good shape at all man, you wouldn't have to many problems. Just think of the steak on the grill the first night, makes it all worth it.

You almost made me piss my pants!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome report man!! Some of the colours on those fish are gorgeous. Looks like you found the lakes with the fish

Chalk it up to a glitch in the Matrix then.

I was out crashing a local stream lastnight. Lots of blackflies but they weren't biting.. More annoying then anything.. I think I got one bite on my arm...

Luckily that isn't a $500 reel But like Solo said, some of the more expensive reels come with sealed bearings.. A little dunk isn't going to hurt anything...

Some new pics on the first page for everyone to check out!

heh Jim, I feel bad dunking the reel in the water, that was just for a good picture, lol.. I clean mine after every trip, the last thing I need is to pooch some bearings in a very expensive reel.

Maybe I had a case of the beaver fever I think our next trip will be a little more memorable.

Sounds like the pike knocked a few BB's out of it. Call Rapala, they'll most likely replace it without a fuss.

I hate canoe's. Was really looking forward to this Mike, I'll post up a few pics off my camera. More pics!!! I took 93 or so, here are a few good ones... All taken with a Canon SD780IS, picked it up the day before we left. ......and a panoramic shot of the view we were greeted with every morning.. Made it quickly in Photostitch.

Mosquito's were out last week. The black flies won't be far behind.
