Dang 1st play 1st turn over

I don't use U.S. satellite as I like to many programs from Canada and would miss them if I did not have it. But I guess with the Internet you can get just about anything very cool.

I was looking at doing that with white PVC pipe then just cutting a end cap in half and gluing it together then sticking my 64" OFC sticker on it bit the finished product would take up to much room.

Thoes are the ones I have been thinking of but was looking to buy in Canada I don't know of any stores that sell them here. I was going to get one at the Michigan musky show but it was canceled maybe one of the vendors will have them at the muskies Canada odyssey in April.

I still use mt OFC board but have thought about getting one of them bump boards. Did you get that in Canada? I would like to get one for next year.

Great thread Walshskie great tips and points you have there. Some great points here about picture taking I try and turn the boat so the sun is behind the camera not always able to do it if its to rough out but something to keep in mind. Get your rods and lures out of the way so you can take the fish out and put it back with out worrying about the hooks on the floor of the boat. I have my camera on the base for my tri pod before I set my lines if I am trolling or before I start casting so I am ready to go right away. I also have the legs extended on my tri pod and the head of it angled so that all I have to do is put the camera on the tri pod and widen the legs. I have my camera set for 10 burst/timer with 30 seconds this gives me 30 seconds to get the fish out of the net (no need to rush I start counting the seconds in my head and start to pull the fish out at about 22-25 seconds) and ready for the first shot then it takes 10 pictures over the next 10 seconds awesome for funny shots of your fishing partner. The Brat was making fun of me so I tail slapped her Dancing her life away with another fish wedding picture For my bolt cutters I attach them to the boat at the start of my day they are hooked to my down easter rod holders and can reach any place in the boat I use a 25’ phone cord that you can get a the $$$ store. It helps me to not worry about dropping them into the water I can let them go and get my hands out of the way of hooks when the fish thrashes. For my net I attach a rope to it as soon as I net the fish this way I can work on the fish with out worrying about loosing the net and I also remove the handle before taking the picture I have had it in the way a few times and find this works best for me. I usually release the fish on the opposite side of the net but did not in this picture where you can see the net in the water Boga grips I don’t use them and don’t really like them, as they seem to be used the wrong way to often. I like the idea that Landry had to help handle them in the net that is a good idea but to often you see many people doing the LSC hold as many like to call it. I fish LSC and don’t take offence to it but know many people have not been here but only see the videos that come from the T.V. shows and think were all like that and start the chant about LSC musky anglers. The T.V. shows sicken me I have had very heated words with some of these guys about there practice of release and care for the fish at the time I did not think it would go anywhere but in the last two seasons these big boats have started using HUGE live wells called FishThanks to help revive the fish after the fight then they take the pictures when the fish is revived and release the fish. Yes they still use Bogas and torpedo fish but what can you do other them talk to them??? I like to think that with the talks that friends of mine have had and public message boards slamming them for the way they handle fish it had some part to do with the changes they made. I know many if not all of them are very passionate about these fish but can not stop there boats for a boat side release and when they are running charters with 4-10 paid customers they have to keep the boat moving or clear 10 + lines each fish. Im sure more will come to me but I just wanted to add this bit for now.

Welcome aboard Chris looking forward to reading your reports

Nice guys I do hope to get up there next season and you guys can make the trip here lets hope life away from musky fishing is more stable to get these trips in.

Marko how do you watch them down load and watch on TV? How long does it take to down load a show and did you subscribe or use the free section? there are a few seasons I would like to get from here

Happy Happy Happy

Looks like a great season for sure

I'm having the same issues with our 8 month old mattress. I have looked at the sleep number beds but can't get past the first price but maybe it's worth it in the long run

George we had to do that for lakers back in Sudbury days and its not easy with 3-4' ice

that thing is huge must have been fun through the ice. Im guessing they were targeting pike through the ice? I ask as I dont know anyone who brings boga grips to go ice fishing or was it caught in a state that has ice fishing for musky? very cool I would love to target big fish through the ice

I use it in all tanks of fuel glad I did the last couple years as my season ended early and I did not get around to adding more but was covered. Never had a problem.

Great report dad and I loved fishing bisco it is a awesome place

That's Awesome nothing better then sharing the boat with your kids and wife

They will take a deposit and let you pay it off they will show it in there showroom until you pick it up which dads was it was awesome to see it among all the other mounts.

I never have and have not had problems.

I guess I should say I got dads walleye done there and it is amazing and will last a lifetime. Dad loved it and now it hangs in memory of him.

Chris I would say head to Missagua to advance they are amazing that is where I will be doing one soon I hope. Well I will be getting a musky done not sure what his is bit I hope they can figure it out.

One other thing that shocked me was they were open at 2pm on a Saturday in November.

I have used the St.Croix rods they are great I will be picking up a 9' this off season. I do like my 9' TI rod but its nothing when compared to a St.Croix that being said I have landed a lot of big fish with it and it handled them great I have put many many many hours on it casting just this year and it has been awesome. I still feel its a good rod for starting out or for a spare but right now its has been my main rod I dont use my Compre or Gander tournament rod's but I feel the length is what I like most. I love the fact that I can do killer figure 8's with out breaking my back. I agree with most here save a bit on the rod if your going to buy right now and spend the extra on the reel. I have two Abu GB 7000 reels and love them the white one is my favorite not sure of the model number but its killer. I did just get what was going to be for the wife a Revo toro winch but after trying it out last weekend I think its mine and she will get a new one next season they are great and can handle big blades as well as bulldogs. If you can hold off I like what Lew had said just wait as the season is creeping into its last month. You can come out on April 13th to the Muskies Canada Odyssey in St. Catherine's you can try out just about any rod/reel combo and feel them together they will have good prices also. Good luck in your choice.

Awesome News Richard glad to here it. Sorry for the loss of your fishing time. For sure get back in if you think there is a chance that something is wrong that is what dad did and they caught things very early years ago its amazing what they can do if you find it early enough.
