I like short Medium power, fast action rods (6'6" or shorter). I'd say the Fenwick Elitech rods are definitely the best blanks in their price range.

I always pair it with a shimano sahara/saros, and use 8 lb braid. I love the ultra thin braid.

You forgot the best part about having to paddle home thru a pop-up windstorm the same day you fried it.

I hear they perk right back up in a frying pan full of hot butter.

Ahh yes, the white grub...how I love thee, and that lake...

That is one incredible canoe, sir.

Awesome report. Never seen those coleman stoves before, but they look awesome!

Awesome! those are some DEEP walters

Awesome stuff. Some beauty summer lakers

This song really gets to me...very well written

 

"our son is losing his mind

the drugs that he hides

you can see in his veins

the steps that he's needing to take

His back it might break

We both need you here"

That whole album is the cats pajamas, but hell yeah this song rocks.

There isn't...unless you have a tailgate.

the "power" of the CAW is minimal, if any, these days.

 

they show that on a frequent basis.

 

wages can only be "cut" to standard market wages. Not below. If market wages are lower than they once were, well, then that's what the job is worth now.

I agree! I work for a non-union automotive plant that is in-sequence with GM, and I can assure you my wages are lower than what most would call 'market standard' and their's are clearly higher.

It's just frustrating to see where the term 'market standard' is heading in the western world, given that I'm at wits end trying to get into the industry I spent 2 years in college for.

The Oshawa center's employment has more than doubled since 2009 to 275 workers

90% of which are likely minimum wage jobs no good for anyone save high school students. I bet there's plenty of ex-union GM workers stocking shelves in there too. I know I've met a few.

I'm no economist, but I can't fathom why GM needs public money for 'R & D' [lol!] after a record profit year. It's already painfully obviously that they have full intentions to cut wages and ruin the power of CAW, so why is there a need to throw millions of tax dollars towards the issue?

We truly are governed by incompetent, corporate shills.

Live bait isn't worth the hassle, IMO.

Unless you prefer fishing with live bait...

I grew up catching crayfish and using them as bait. Tubes obviously work excellent, but there's nothing like watching a monster smallie come up and grab the crayfish you caught yourself.

I still enjoy doing it the odd time. Just hook once lightly thru the back...no weight...cast lightly

Looks and sounds like a perfect trip

Getting out deep will get you away from the fleas and the people!

Good forecast...go for it! so much fun

Absolutely brilliant song from a legend...

From your choices I'd choose the 'bird for sure!, but for all the deepwater fishing, I'd seriously reccomend you upgrade to a slightly higher-end Lowrance.

I didn't comment at first, and I really don't care, but it does stress the fish out big time to be dragging them around on a stringer, and IMO there's a good chance they didn't make it, even though they may have swam away healthy.

Keep 'em next time

My kinda country...no CMT pop around here

All fish were released to fight another day!!

...Except for the ones on the stringer?

Nice fish. The bass were on fire yesterday!

So has the bear returned after the firecracker? They're usually quite effective.

If I was visiting New Liskeard, Lac Temiscaming would be the last place I'd be going to wet a line. Lots of remote shore fishing opportunities around latchford.

If you love bass fishing, you'll be in heaven. Tons of classic smallie and largie structure, with real big fish. The laker numbers are way, way down, as most of the lakes in the area are. I've never seen more than a small handful of boats at a time on the lake. I've always enjoyed my time there
