also search for load bearing vests. i've looked into these before but found them too expensive for my purpose. here's a vest that i'm looking to get (as soon as it goes on sale)

nice fish. it's funny how national geographic is worrying about over-harvesting of the rare species of monster fish, they're the ones who showed everybody where they are in the first place.

that's uncle gabby!

Hi all, Just wondering what happened to the hookups sub-forums? (i think) it used to be in the extra resources section. Thanks.

i've had much luck with berkley gulp 2.5" minnows in watermelon color, cut the head and rig on a jighead. i use a slip float with a stopper about 12-18" and adjust depth with trial and error. good luck

bps also has them, i find the luminous one's very effective especially in murky or dark water. i even caught a bow with just the beads after the bait had already been snatched.

There is hard evidence, its just a question of how much they're willing to pay for it. There are archived satellite imagery of the area for sure, google might be able to help...

ya they tried to pull the same thing on me last year after my wife filled up some ballots @ the boat and fishing show. they tried @ least 4 times and i had the same reply to each call which lasted less than a minute each: nope, we are not interested. you don't want your prize? absolutely not. why did we fill out the ballots? we had nothing better to do @ the time. goodbye.

i would like to add an extra step to the whole process: i would get the aaa grade meat when they go on sale and age it in the freezer for 60 days b4 the drying process. this will result in a more tasty and tender beef jerky, well worth the extra wait, oh and don't forget to cut across the grain

that would actually fit nicely on an : r-type rod they're reasonably priced, I got a 6'7" medium heavy for $99 @ the last spring boat & fishing show. Similar shimano models sells for 3x that. bravo_3

sorry to hear about your experience, i can assure you tho, that s5is is 1 sweet camera. i've had mine almost a year now and i've enjoyed using it whenever i can. i think i got mine when it was $ 339 at canadacomputers. it came with a free 1gb card which is not much. i got a 4gb sdhc card for it and wished i got the 8gb instead since i don't want to keep transfering pix over a lot.

welcome aboard bro! i was floatfishing downstream at the foot of trillium trail last labor day week end and 2 weeks prior, caught/released mostly small trout and white sucker. their size doesn't even qualify as panfish. don't ask me what the white sucker were doing there though i'm just as surprised finding a lot of them there. maybe someone here has an idea?

it is easy to prove that the fish was caught 2 days earlier. u can take a picture of it on the day that u catch it. make sure u have the date watermark option on before you take the picture. local witnesses would also help. of course in the end it would still be up to the mnr officer. it won't be the 1st time they'd seen people fishing on the last day of the season tho.

brown one = yummy grouper fried crisp outside or steamed just oh so right nice fish!

Got this 39" 27.64lb salmon last Saturday also got a another salmon and a trout but my teammates have set the bar so high my entries didn't make the cut. 80) I guess i'm just going to try for the other species that we haven't caught yet.

very good question, had some personal experience with this a couple of months back. gulp alive products (the ones that come in a bucket) has a very corrosive juice. it melted a hook accidentally left in the juice for about 3 days. also tried placing gulp alive shads in with the "non-alive" shad/minnows and the latter lost its color. my conclusion is: mix and match gulp products as long as they're not the "alive" variety. don't mix "alive" with anything.

caught & released a lot of them last year @ high park, biggest one is about half a pound. from what i've observed they're most active around 2nd to last week of august and are often caught with 3-way bottom rigs with worms. i heard they're good eats too.

that gave me the shivers as i frequent ct @ caledonia...very scary!

was out @ grenadier pond yesterday morning to try my hand @ slip float rigging, and i noticed a crowd gathering around the pier. i completely forgot about national fishing weekend, thought it was in august. @ around 10:15am the organizers started handing out rods & tackle and pretty soon the pier (from which i had started casting from) filled up with kids and parents setting up gear and some had started casting. there were tangles everywhere and i helped out a couple of kids with their lines. i suggested to one of the volunteers we teach them texas-rigging coz there were too many close calls with all the wild casting going on, and the reply i got was: "it's ok, we got first aid kits". (i just thought to myself: its a good thing this wasn't national hunting week) anyways, i went around and helped some kids with their setups, gave some jigs, hooks, floats, bait. etc., by the time i checked my watch it was already 1pm and i only had done like 5 casts myself. i left shortly after and anyways it was a really enjoyable experience watching kids and parents fishing for the first time.

yes he is required to have a license: http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/en/Business/LetsF...L02_165323.html fees here: http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/en/Business/LetsF...L02_165336.html they just introduced the 8-day license for ontario, last year my mother (visiting from florida) had to get the 1 year non-resident license to go fishing for 2 days hope this helps.

my friend bought one of those models with that type of material and they are not completely waterproof. he had to return his for the shell-type (posted by ccmt) as 1 of their camping trips was almost ruined when their gear literally got rained out.

yee-haw! hurry jeb, tie one of 'em buds to my line! [j/k] seriously though, imo its the spinners that attracts the fish not the bottlecap

posted reply on that section.

just wanted to add, they sometimes jump when they are startled. this is true when the water is calm and something heavy falls in the water like a rock or a heavy lead weight or it could be other audible disturbances in the water like propelers spinning up.

steam is the least destructive way i've found to remove pesky stickers from chrome bumpers, refrigerators, etc. i use a shark steamer or something similar and give it a couple of blasts, if its a small sticker i'd use a steam iron. this will get the plastic/vinyl part of the sticker then i finish of the remaining gunk with either gigaloo or wd40.
