  1. I would stay away from the combo deals.

     

    Yeah, as would I. Not too often do you get decent deals along with quality when you purchase a combo. I would suggest looking on eBay for a reel and checking out the local stores for a rod. You can find reels on eBay pretty cheap but watch out for shipping, some guys are good and some are ridiculous. Rod shipping is normally too expensive to make it worth while.

     

    I just took a quick look and found some decent deals.

    Daiwa Procaster (used) This was my first baitcaster only the older model. I still have it and still use it. Never had any problems and I have caught some monsters with it.

     

    Good luck with the rod and reel hunt. It'll take a while to get used to the baitcaster but once you do, it's a ton of fun!

  2. Hey guys, I'm going to visit the girlfriends parents next week in Collingwood / Wasaga Beach area and I am dying to do some fishing. The thing is that I have no idea where to fish in that area and I won't have my boat so it will have to be done off shore. I did some research and I could fish in zone 16 or zone 14 (Georgian Bay). Looks like all that is off limits is walleye, bass and pike in zone 16 and just bass in Georgian Bay. Does anybody know where I can catch something, anything, off shore that isn't too far away from that area? I don't really care what it is, I just want to fish :Gonefishing: .

  3. I'm a big Lindner's fan. The Fishing Edge is always informative and tells you what to look for in water to find fish and discusses colours and everything. Mercer's show is cool. I like the format except he doesn't tell you where he fishes sometimes. Scott Martin is a cool concept too.

     

    Shows I don't like, well Cronzy is a tool. Aside from the fact that his campfire is completely ridiculous, anybody can go to a lodge and have guides put them on fish. I also don't like that Fishing University show. That guy a billboard and doesn't stop plugging products. Another show I can't stand is Lunkerville. The guy looks like a bum and looks so awkward when he is fishing.

  4. I like Terminator. They are more expensive but they will last almost forever. Made out of titanium so when a big fish hits, it doesn't need adjusting. But I have twice as many cheaper ones as I do the Terminators and they all catch fish.

  5. I have never bought a house but if you can't do what workwear said couldn't you just sell your house, pay it off with the money you get for selling it, then get a new mortgage on the new house? Like I said, I have no clue on what the rules are but it just seems logical.

  6. Boosting it give it enough juice to start, it does for vehicles and its the same principle. Make sure you are hitting the starter while somebody turns the key. You want the starter trying to start and the tapping should free up the brushes if they are rusted. If that doesn't work your starter might be toast but thats pretty simple. 3 bolts or so and a wire connection was all it took on my 83 Johnson a few years back. Somebody might no a way to test the starter, I'm not sure how to myself though.

  7. If you end up getting the baitcaster, throw spinnerbaits and jigs with it and also lipless cranks. Not much else to add to your list though. You might want to go with a braid on your baitcaster and tie on a fluorocarbon leader when you fish your jigs if you want but it wont matter with the spinnerbaits or lipless cranks because you fish those fast. Good luck!

  8. anyone know how to get a replacement card

     

    Have had mine about 8 years and its in 3 pieces!

     

    tb

     

    If you contact the place where you got it with your card number, they should be able to issue you a new one. The site I got mine doesn't exist anymore so I'm not sure what you would do. I do believe that there was one site that bought a bunch of the others so you might have to call around if you can't find your site.
