I use 14's for pretty much everything... Pick up a few bags of each.. Unlike the Raven flouro, I haven't had any issues with their hooks..

If you are using big bags, 8's are fine....

I usually run 12 or 14's... If I am running bags of death for stupid Lake E fish I'll use an 8... Just size it with your bait, if you are running big bags or skein like Dave mentioned, you need to upsize your hooks.... Also instead of just looping the hook through the top of the bag, I usually pull it through a bit and hook the tip through the side of the bag as well. Make's it as snagless as possible.

Wayne, I think you missed my point. I was saying if it was illegal to keep fishing after your limit of two, the mortality rates wouldn't be the same. Hell, maybe I'd be killing more fish by NOT keeping any lol

Whoops, yeah I meant keep. How would the mortality rates be the same if you were never allowed to sink hooks into those 18 other fish? The math doesn't add up.

My oldmans has one mounted on his wall, about 15lbs or so. Caught it in the late 70's off of Port Weller.

Yup, that's the prob.. It's up to the CO if he is going to charge you with possession if you take the fish out of the water for a pic, etc. Personally I think if you catch your 2, you should be done for the day.

I only got out 3 days last week, not 4

There are always crowds here, you think one post is somehow going to make it any worse? OMG SOME SHAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LETS PACK THE KIDS UP AND GO!!!!!! :shakes head:

I think I just dropped a hit of acid.

Nothing beats a GBay/Huron trib fish...

Not on that river... There is maybe a 200ft section down to the mouth that you are allowed to fish.. Now picking the right side is a different matter, lol

Good job man!! I need to take a trip back up there. Hit it about a month ago, and it was freeeezing

haha! I haven't caught a damn thing on the Notty with my centerpin so there might as well be no fish in there anyhow

I thought the sarcasm in my reply was obvious

Another gimmick like the Flying Lure? lol

No fish in the Notty Eric, have you been down lately? The ice has done some major damage... Brutal stuff...

I throw a Zara Spool Jr for smallmouth bass about 80% of the time, lol. Depends on the weather conditions, but a little chop and a walk the dog type bait rally does the trick. I've found that even with topwater, changing your retrieve speed could mean the difference between a lot of fish and no fish. I've even puled smallmouth out of 25ft of water on a topwater.. They work in a variety of depths/conditions. Good luck!!

So uh, when's the OFC get together to break in that new bar? Good job!!! Looks great.

You could probably use one of those cool to the touch soldering guns and get the same effect

Interlaken Switzerland.

Sure, why not? If it's changing gears all the time, you might want to drop it down a gear. My oldman and I have always towed in OD since I can remember, regardless of what truck we had at the time.
