  1. Really interested in the new Argo 1000. They have a factory in drumbo I believe. Looks nice and built in Ontario.
  2. Thanks for all the replies everyone! For the guys using the 20v dewalts is it the $130 one or the 400? Ixr I think it's called.
  3. He's ladies and gents I just bought the Sail brand 8" auger with drill adaptor, was wondering what's a good drill? been reading online and got hundreds of different opinions. It's a little overwhelming. have a older 18v dealt and also a 20v dewalt ion. What's your guys cordless set up?
  4. Was it a big pike? And ok maybe I will bring my reel to sail or natural sports. I have lots of cheap mono but need to buy the braid and flouro Carbon
  5. You and your bro hasn't got bitten off yet? I'm going to do PP braid for sure 20 pound test. Just un sure of the leader. The flouro is a maybe with jerkbaits but will be okay with spoons and size 5 memos spinners? Also do I put a bit of mono before I put braid? Just seems weird having 3 line on 1 spool. And lots of good replies and advice thanks a lot guys!
  6. And for when summer time hits you guys still keep flouro leader for the top waters? Buzz baits and wake baits?
  7. On 2500 reel with the max at 8pound mono, I could use 30 pound power pro braid which is same size as the 8 pound mono and have a foot of flouro ? And that would be okay for bass and pike?
  8. Thanks for the reply guys. As for thicker stuff. Is 30 pound flourocarbon think? Will it effect my jerkbaits? Pike won't chew through the 30pound test? Or even 20? And if I did tried flouro for a leader should I stick with mono as a main line or switch to power pro braid?
  9. Spring is around the corner and need to spool up my spinning reel. Usually I use 8 pound mono ( year round line ) and when fishing pike just add a steel leader. But when summer time comes there is also a lot of bass and don't want to risk my lures to the pike. I got a tip to use flourocarbon 30 pound test as a leader ?????? And to use 20-30pound power braid as a main line " cause it's same thickness as the 8 pound mono? Was wondering if you guys can help me out and what you guys think
  10. U prefer very loose line? I'm very new to carp fishing and so far caught 1 and lost 2 yesterday but I always kept my drag tight as possible so I can watch my line and rod tip. I always thought loose line id miss the bites or carp would detect my hook and line before I even know it?? I been just using a 6 foot and also a 6' 6" rods with 8 pound mono cause that's the max those reels hold. Just use basic split shots and a worm. And thanks for the reply beans
  11. Was wondering what is your to go carp rod set up? Looking to buy a new rodents reel for carp?
  12. Yes Gallie that's true! And thanks again guys. Probably going to try again this coming weekend. I hear there's a stage they don't eat . Is this true?? And when's best time of year to target them?
  13. Thanks guys! I was surprised on the size too! But glad to hear he will be fine. I read online that tests show they don't rust out... But I think that's more if the hook was swallowed ? I hear people say they hate going for carp but I think carp and suckers are too underrated ! Good fight and beautiful fish! Sorry for no pics. Next Time !
  14. I finally got the carp biting! While using corn and worms and looked like a day I was going to be fished out , I hooked a approximately 2-2 1/2 ft carp on the old worm with split shots. Couldn't get the weight in as I went to revive the fish a bit before I took the picture he rolled and snapped the line with hook still in his lip . Was a amazing fight! But I am worried about the chance of survival for the fish ?? Tiny little bronze hook stuck on his lip. Will he survive???
  15. No I meant having 3 rods in a holder. And plus a buddy. But does the frozen corn still have a decent attraction to thrm? Cause I know can corn has the juice ? Dying to catch my first carp:( I don't count the snags loool
  16. Thanks for the reply guys! And great tips ! Have you guys ever used bread? When it gets a bit warmer I'm going to try just regular corn on small hook. Is it bad to use more then one bait with another rod same time? Like 2 rods corn and another rod of worms ?? And would love to see some pics!
  17. Hello there been couple of times I tried catching carp in some of my spots cause there's tone of them in there. For carp I just try the old fashion worm and split shots. I don't know anything about carp or live bait and was wondering if someone give give few tips?? I know I cast in a area of schooling carp but they won't bite !
  18. No I'm trying to locate Horner creek but whitemans creek pops up and was told it was in Drumbo? But can't seem to find it in maps
  19. Was wondering if these 2 are the exact same creek or branch differently. I see in the regulation book they have the same opener date but always thought they were 2 different creeks???
  20. Musky mat do you know specific lakes in Algonquin ? Having hard times reading that map. And woodsman I will check up that lake. Thanks for some ideas!!
  21. me & buddies are planing on going camping up north this year. I never fished up north before and dying to try it out and just enjoy relaxing outdoors to get away from everything. We're looking for good private tent camping sites probablly right beside the water. A friend of mine went to windy lake last year but never went fishing. He loved the camping beside the water though! Locations in mind is WIndy lake , French river , Ivanhoe lake , or missinaibi Those are just some I seen online and was wondering if there is good private tent sites near the water? And of course good fishing. Mostly targeting pike and bass. Any suggestions and want to know your own experiences !
  22. I will try out the Kitchener place then. When it gets colder I'm going to try shades mill for pike. You guys had any luck there with minnows? And I don't know who pat is but the guys at sail are really kind and great help! I hope he's doing good.
  23. Can anyone tell me a good live bait store around Cambridge area? I see place in Preston closed down and was wondering so when I go ice fishing hopefully. Suckers , shiners etc
  24. What is the swap meet tho? Even newer items?
