The bait shop is Pro Tackle... http://www.protacklemuskyshop.com/ Cheers

I fished this event as a NB....I had an amazing pick with; John White day 1 Dave Mercer day 2 Mark Kulik day 3 Mark was in 29th and I 19th in day 3. He said to me...."were both sitting on the bubble....did you want to run to a spot I know that has good fish, go for it and hope they bite or stay close and see what happens?" First; I can't tell you how much that meant to me, to be asked and considered by someone I watch on TV and is one of my fishing idols. Knowing Mark is an amazing fisherman and trust his judgement, I said "lets go for it!" Although the fish didn't cooperate where we went, with the blow ups we had (big fish rolling on our baits but not committing), I could understand why we made the run. It had the potential! But that's fishing!! He was very apologetic and felt bad that it didn't pan out. Now that's the showing of a true gentlemen but in my opinion and having been asked what I thought we should do, it was my decision too to have done so and have no regret. At the end of the day, I could say I got to fish and become freinds with a fishing icon, hard-core amazing angler and even more importantly to me, as mentioned, a true and honest gentlemen that made me feel like we've known eachother for years. I can't tell ya how much fun I had and was so impressed with his consideration of me.....so if you read this, thanks Mark! By the way....man can he drive that Interstate rig of his. That in itself was amazing to see in real life and well worth the run! Cheers, Paul

I'm interested in what others may think about this and have been doing it for the past 2 years. Using old stinger hooks; the one with the line, treble hook and small clip; that I'm sure we all have rusted in our ice-fishing boxes, I cut everything off. I then use the clip to attach to my drop shot hook and tie whatever length of line I need to it and add my weight. That way, I can easily change up on the water without the need of constantly re-tieing. The hook also sits up well with the added weight. ...maybe I shouldn't have posted and designed and packaged these myself. Cheers, Paul

2nd day to Subway in Kingston and notta.....

I just came back from the Princess St. Subway...they didn't have any ballots or signage. I asked if they were taking part but only got a laugh. Weird response! Cheers

Wow...now this here is my dream setup! However, I've always wanted an Alison like the other posted too. Cheers

I would think the ice is good.... This site is good for back lake questions... fishkingston.com Cheers

Here's my old girl.... Cheers

Hey Fisher...it was fantastic! Our group stayed close to the "quiet" bar (it was never this and I think called that only cause of the no kids) in the back end of the resort. We met a lot of great people there from around the world and beer and rum is always a language of it's own that people can use. We do not have young kids so during the day, we stayed away from the big pool and area. Way too many kids and catering to them. But this is a good thing for their parents. Food was excellent, entertainment was lacking IMO but I found this in all resorts I've been too there. Way too much Celine Dion and Brian Adams (I don't like their music) trying to cater to us Canadians and would have prefered their cultural music. Cheers

Although I didn't catch anything when I was there last year, I did meet a fellow Canadian that did well. I guess I partied too much to get to the beach at the best times. He used a bobber with what looked like a worm harness and bacon. Said the fish prefer bacon and not the ham and took it from the buffet. The best times were morning and just before sun set. A local I talked to for some time, said the beaches around PP are pretty good fishing spots and the odd big cuda are caught on crank baits in the evening from shore. I didn't get a guide however...didn't want to be that far from a bar! I picked up a cheap $25 combo from CTC that came in a case with a small lure pack. Great deal and left it there for some local kids. Good luck and please post how you make out! BTW - I was at the Gran Ventana, Barcelo and Allegro but the best area seemed to be where the caged rocks (old dock) at the point are...where they were spearing and the other Cannuck catching all kinds of fish. Cheers, Paul

I've submitted too but have yet to hear... I've emailed since, but gather their busy. Anyone receiving acceptance or denial responses in the last couple of days? Is there still hope? Cheers, Paul

Here's a good one....

I remember as a kid, someone in Napanee where I grew up, had shot a hige moose...just under the world record they had told us. People from all around came to see it hanging in the tree there. Amazing!

I love this picture...almost spit my coffee out. Those guys look like they're doing a "Dances with Moose!" move. ...isn't that a patient transfer vehicle? Maybe the moose already had 1 down. Cheers

How about me in your boat! Seriously though, I suggested this on the WFN forum sometime back when they asked about programming and still think it would make for an interesting show or addition to an existing show... Something I like to refer too as The "Reel People!" A show that is about shore fisher people...visiting local hot spots (TO harbor, BOQ shores and the likes for example) and talking to those fishing from land (or ice) and possibly add in those coming back in boats etc. for interviews. Tips, tricks, tackle, equipment, what to look for in harbors or land structures, as well as etiquette, timing for fish spawning (crappy, perch...) and availbility, etc Reading a lot of forum information over the past years, there's a lot of questions on where to fish from shore, what to use etc. And where / how better to get people into fishing, sharing the knowledge and understanding that you don't have to spend a lot of money or time trying to locate these fish and can have fun with program like this? I know watching most of the current shows, there's a lot of glitter, expense, time and effort....it really can and would be nice to see the "grass-roots" approach once again we all learned doing and from...the mighty shore line of your favorite watering hole. ....take an adult fishing and he'll (eventually) take a kid with him! By the way...please feel free to contact me Dave. Cheers Paul
