Some excellent links there, also I'll second the JB's Fishing Depot suggestion, if you're heading out this way.

Happy B-day Fidel !! Have a good one.

Get the Alive minnows !! have used Gulp sinking minnows myself, was actually very impressed with the results. Btw, Rick Mercer this morning around 11am (I think on TSN or maybe Sportsnet) nailing small-mouth after small-mouth on those Alive minnows. The amount of scent they off give is sooooo strong, that the fish will litterally go after that bait over the real thing lol. The other day, was at a bass pond, my good fishing buddy was using YUM sticks and a few senkos (which are the usual norm), I had this leftover pack of "cherry seed" gulp sinking minnows, never used it cause I never liked the color, the baits are red w/ black glitter (I prefer watermelon or hot pink).. I decided as an experiment to see how it would do against my buddy that was using the good colored senkos & YUMs loaded with salt.. Lets put it this way, I outfished him like 12-3 & I was using cherryseed (not my favorite color, watermelon w/ red flake) Gulp sinking minnows wacky rigged with a 3/0 ultrapoint hook. Eventually I had to give him some when he caught on lol.. Also after a while we would even switch back to the YUM & reg senkos, dipp em in the gulp juice, and the fish would start hitting the other baits just like that lol, try it ! We also tried dipping them back in the salt aswell for added attraction, it worked well, but the gulp scent/bait was reigned surpreme for the day.

My vote is for the lense flare theory, it looks like the light off the moon is bending with your lense somehow, since its soo bright it looks like it created an effect with your camera since its being over-exposed. Kinda like the pic with the night-time campfire pic that Greencoachdog posted on page 1. Originally I thought your camera moved, but I now doubt that from reading your replies. Beautiful effect though !!

Nice report, early season bluegill is the way to go !! And that definetly is a sweet rig you got there UrbanFishermen

Stoty, I think you will be fine Hookset, no worries man, I actually got a good chuckle out of your replies, as for the article, yes I think it could really change the ways of the Off-Shore fishermen especially if it really catches on, I'm really liking the conservation side of it, but my thinking is, if they were to implement something like this on a large scale, wouldn't a lot of fishermen be out of work ?? like there wouldn't be a need for fishing trollers etc, since you can just call the fish in ?!? I'll assume they can't do this with crab & lobster etc though.

Nice looking jigs, I especially like the JUDGE, ICEFIRE & the FLIRT. You can't go wrong with really any of those colors, they're all great, have you made any in pure black rabbit-hair yet ? its my best goto color !

Was doing my daily browsing this morning, came upon this "Fish Calling" article in Wired's website, what will these scientists come up with next ? No Bait! Fish May Respond to Sound By JAY LINDSAY Associated Press Writer AP Photo AP Photo/Steven Senne Buy AP Photo Reprints Your Questions Answered Ask AP: Passport Files, Picking Nominees BOSTON (AP) -- Call them Pavlov's fish: Scientists are testing a plan to train fish to catch themselves by swimming into a net when they hear a tone that signals feeding time. If it works, the system could eventually allow black sea bass to be released into the open ocean, where they would grow to market size, then swim into an underwater cage to be harvested when they hear the signal. http://news.wired.com/dynamic/stories/P/PA...-03-26-11-04-23

Awesome !!! what a nice surprise

Yup thats Ric ! That's a nice pic, I really luved going there (whenever I could) during the summer periods after bass spawn, we had a little g2g there once, waded it with Ric & the islands OFC gang there, was nice meeting some local ofners & putting names to faces !! btw, was that pic from a few years ago ? I too was just rekindling my love for fishing back then, just joined OFC too, mind you I wasn't as good at bass fishing as I am now, but I learned a lot from him !!

Cabelas is usually quite quick, ground delivery usually takes 1-2 weeks, air is about a week (in business days) or sometimes less. Not sure if you'll have it in on time, but you should be able to track it.

Thanks for the reminder !

You should be able to pull some LMs outta there. As others have said use a very-slow/ultra-slow presentation, try downsizing, or using a buzz bait to create a commontion or even a 1/8 oz. mini-spinnerbait, they're excellent for times when the bites off and fish are a bit finicky (especially during colder weather). Works for me everytime ! About 1-2 weeks ago caught this descent LM using one of my buzzbaits (3/8oz. buzz rat), didn't think they would hit anything that day, but whadya know, on the 2nd cast, casted into the middle of the pond, at first I used a quick-retrieve then I slowed it down before shore & then WHAM !!

Excellent report Frozen-Fire !!

Ordered one of these the other day http://www.luremaking.com/catalogue/catalo..._pen_light_.htm

nice simcoe pigs !!

Nice ski !! and tell kermit to leave the fish alone !

Excellent catch !! That fish has some serious girth to it, I would say at least 3-4 lbs ! Great report guys. Nice to see those hand-pours in-action basskicker ! Luv the color too.

Hey Mepps, bought one in June, its a very sweet camera, 7.1 megapixels, waterproof to 33 ft. and all I need now is a 1-2 gb flash card for long fishing vids water tight rubber seals Originally I wanted it so I could take underwater fight shots etc, but I mainly use it for making underwater vids of fish & also my own homemade custom-baits in action ! The camera also has a underwater mic, so it records underwater sounds in videos, a great little added feature.

Excellent report Fidel !! Lots of fish to be had right now, the weather was soo nice yesterday, I might even go bassin again this afternoon (went yesterday mid-day & then also at dusk, caught about 6-8 fish) lots of fun. One or two on a topwater skitter pop (brown frog), and the rest on this flo. yellow mini-spinnerbait that I use. I might have to post a few more pics tonight ! Keep'em coming

Thanks for the heads-up !! It's really quite ridiculous, my neighbor had the exact same problem, but with Bell !! I even saw a episode of "the 5th estate" on cbc about how Bell would ILLEGALLY charge previous customers for service that they've already cancelled months eather.. It was soo annoying, a collection agency would call my buddy at least a few times a week, he would explain to them everytime that hes cancelled the service months ago (back in spring), then they would apologize & say they've corrected the problem, and would keep calling back again & again, eventually they stopped when he finally just told them, "DON'T CALL ME ANYMORE BECAUSE I WILL NEVER PAY YOU FOR A SERIVCE I DIDN'T RECIEVE !!!!" and they stopped calling LOL

Yeah that's the 2nd time this month, and of all the days, it had to be this morning when I happen to be expecting an email from someone.. bah.. once was enough.. o well, no more worries.. I just made a gmail account

watching it right now !! wtg tony.

AVG is excellent, its free & updates almost daily.. what more can you ask for

WTG Rick !! Its great to see you being recognized for your reports & it's always a pleasure to fish with ya man ~!! Nice pic btw.
