On most muskie and pike setups you'll find super lines.. Spiderwire, Power Pro, Fireline etc... I run 20lb Spiderwire on my baitcast setup for pike last year. No complaints other then the line did discolour quite a bit from it's original shade. I am going to respool with the same line, but start from the other end (So this year the untouched line close to the spool will be the line hitting the water). Can't beat the super lines for strength or lack of stretch.

I enjoyed the kid who fought from WoodBridge.. He took a beating but kept on coming for more.

Thanks Mark! I think I'll have to start going to Rama a bit more

That fight defines the work domination.

Sounds like a plan

Irish, you need a fishing partner for Monday? I have a crapload of vacation I still need to take.

Mark, any chance you know the cost for an amateur? I am assuming that there is a lottery or draw for what amateur gets on what boat? I couldn't imagine being on the lake with a pro during a tournament!!!

All you need is a battery to plug the fishfinder into You don't need anything special.

You could do all kinds of things. Rig is as a swimbait, dropshot it... Whatever you want really.. It's pretty versatile.

Sounds like the perfect age to get him hooked!!!!! I bought my 4 year old niece a "Dora the Explorer" fishing rod last year and that is pretty much all she talks about... "Papa, when are you and uncle Bill going to take me fishing again?" Can't beat it.

That kitten is definitely 'mitted'. Very cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I used to live in St.Catharines, this was an annual summer ritual Little cleo's worked great for them... We'd catch them almost every single cast, 100+ fish days easily... So much fun. Hell, maybe we fished together and didn't even know it!!! lol

I didn't think the fish were interested in anything during the actual spawn? I'll be hitting GBay on the 1st for some shallow water monsters (hopefully), always catch and release, especially Mr Pike.

What are you fishing for? Pike's closed for another couple of weeks.

Not my tournament, not my rules. Just a simple suggestion to put more live fish back into the lake. Good luck, I hope you have a decent turn out.

It's really not up to Cabela's on how long it takes to get across the border. Who are they using for shipping? UPS? USPS? FedEX? If they shipped it via USPS Expedited, it would be here quick and with minimal border fees.

Why not a quick pic with a measurement and release the fish? No need to keep them in the livewell any longer then they have to.

I would really like to meet Dave in person. If he is anything like his show, he seems like an absolute riot and an awesome fishing partner.

GSP absolutely dominated Hugh's in his last fight. No one, not even Serra has done what GSP did to Hugh's. I know it's been said a million times but Serra got lucky the first time around. GSP is going to dominate him, I have no doubt about it. Personally, I hope he lets it go to the later rounds and pounds Serra into bloody submission. I bet this is going to be the wildest UFC yet, the fans out in Montreal are going to go ballistic!

Putting on the summer tires, raking the grass. Definitely UFC on Sat... GO GSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I hope my FTA is back up, lol)

Google Earth?

Not a dog person, but I wonder if my two cats might be up for a trip in the boat? lol (They are both bluepoint mitted Ragdolls)

I think I need to do some trout fishing this year. Think my '8 muskie rod will work out ok?

My Ontario Out of Doors arrived 2 weeks after I submitted my subscription Lets hope the people at Musky Hunter can help me out today.

This is just my opinion and it might be completely off base, but here it is anyhow This isn't the time to take off again and relive your early 20's. If you aren't in a stable financial position, I really don't think this is a good idea. I have also been in a more responsible mindset as of late (I turn 32 in Oct). I stopped playing with the car and spending money on it, I am more worried about investments and retirement. I think it's just a part of growing up... I don't blow money like I used to, even though I make more money then I ever have. Perhaps it's time to do the more adult thing (even though it's not as fun)
