    OUCH

    Hey, you were drifting, all the young kids think you're cool now

    OUCH

    Brian, that poor Ford trying to commit suicide? I keed I keed :)
  3. Lets get a cormorant cull going, I am sure the baitfish numbers would increase.
  4. Like people don't know there are fish in the east tribs anyhow? Come on...
  5. Kemper, are you using those micro jigs geared towards crappie?
  6. Hey Darryl, I do like the pink worms, I use them on most outings. I also don't put any shot on my leader, only on rare occasions when the water is super fast and murky.
  7. Well that's it, the next river I am fishing is going to be a Lake O trib!! I don't care how long the drive is.. Awesome work guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. I think it's a disease, I have it also
  9. Kemper, I've been using Raven hooks. I'll up the size to a 10 and see if that helps. I have a feeling I am just fishing where there aren't to many fish
  10. Jose, I met up with a member from Grey/Bruce on the 'Geen a few weeks ago. Showed me the in's and out's of float fishing and I also bought my rig off the guy. Great bunch of guys over there!
  11. Paul, if I do increase my leader how much of that 2ft is actually going to affect the depth of my drift? What I mean is, if the rig is setup properly the bait is flowing downstream ahead of the float, does that 2ft really get the bait down lower or just push it out front of the float more? I went lighter on the shot also for some reason I like stacking on the .80gram shots, lol. I started out with a .80gram on the shot line then put 4-5 shot smaller in size until I got to my second swivel. Mark, I really didn't think about these fish being pressured so much, I dunno why but I really should have taken that into consideration. I do a lot of hiking for brookies in the summer/early fall, I guess I should put in the time and find some unmolested pools/runs as well. I did hike some a few months ago while fishing with hardware and I found some really nice water. (And actually fish!) The next time I'm out I'll do the 3-4km jaunt and put myself into less pressured water. I appreciate the advice, I think I need to write this all down so I don't forget again.
  12. Yeah, I was wondering if the rain on Sat helped things for Sunday Good job man, maybe it's just my timing. Did you find the fish in the fast stuff or the pools?
  13. Wayne, let me know when you hit the Bay again, we gotta atleast get ONE fish in the boat!!! (The dead one didn't count)
  14. I tried a few places without much luck. Started at Ivy and fished north a few km's Sat morning. I was the second guy in the parking lot and when I left there were atleast 7-8 cars. Saw a lot of guys fishing, but didn't see anyone doing any catching (ok, perhaps it's not just me ) Went home had a nap and hit it again off of 21 Hwy. Fished north 1-2kms and missed a shaker in some shallow water after I bunked a cast and was bringing it back in. Only maybe 2lbs, but it would have been nice! At about 5:00 the skies opened up with rain, then sleet so I decided to call it a day.. My setup consisted of a 4gram Raven float, 10-12lb Siglon FF main line, 6lb Maxima ultragreen for my shot line then 5lb flouro for my leader. Shot line is about 24-30 inches, leader was about 16.. #14 hooks and bags with 5-6 eggs in them. Also tried some Berkeley Gulp worms in hot pink. Water vis was good, atleast 2ft with a green tinge. I also tried fishing wood and debris, worked out ok, didn't lose any hardware and got the float a few inches from some bigass fallen trees on more then one occasion.. Can anyone see some massive holes in my setup, or am I just being extremely unlucky?
  15. Looks like I fished the wrong GBay trib this weekend Great report!
  16. lol ballast.. I got caught in rain/sleet storm yesterday while on the Nottawasaga.. Wasn't to bad, no one in sight spent a few hours fishing later in the day. Didn't catching anything, but no big deal, missed a shaker when I was pulling my float out of the water during one drift
  17. Well, I didn't have the same probs RF had, no hunters this morning, but also no fish I am glad the act of centerpining is so fun, cause it's getting a bit discouraging! I'll be back out tonight to try my luck again.
  18. All the comments about the pic are in good fun and completely harmless. Hell, I got a pic similar to that, with socks yanked high, a half top and wrist bands (I kid you not)
  19. Are we sure there is even a pair of shorts on under that t-shirt? I feel bad for the poor guys twig and berries.. LET THEM BREATH MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  20. I have a used Shimano Compre 6'9 XH for sale in the classifieds For the price, you can't beat it.
  21. You guys are killing me!
  22. I could spend all day catching little shakers For a centerpin newb it definitely helps with the confidence!
  23. I'm killing myself over here!!!!!!!!!!!!! Atleast you didn't forget! Being a bit early is a whole hell of a lot better then being a bit late :)
  24. Kemper, so bouncing will be a good plan this weekend instead of a float? If you need some company let me know, I'll most likely be out by myself as well.
  25. At least the conspiracy theories and socialist rants are good for a laugh.
