Anyone fished the pier at Colpoys lately? Jake

OK, I guess it's not the length of the rod that counts as much as the stiffness. I'm using a 10 1/2 foot Berkeley what they call a trout rod but probably is just too whippy. I get what you mean about the difficulty casting larger weights and getting a good set. Thanks for your advice fellas. I guess I'll head off to BassPro and do some looking at a St. Croix or something. Jake

Thanks fellas for the advice. I was looking more for suggestions on what type of rod to use. Are they using super fast float rods or is there some other type of rod to look for? They all seem to be 12 to 13 feet long. I was looking at the Matrix rod at BassPro. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi guys...I'm a new member. I did a little rainbow fishing this fall from shore at Meaford, noticed the guys were using long rods on stands. Their rods seemed to move around less in the wind than mine even though they were sticking straight up in the air. Could anyone please point me in the right direction to pickup the appropriate gear for this type of fishing? Thanks. Jake
