  1. Charlie Wray's show is definitely one big ad disguised as a fishing show. Bob Izumi does put in the odd plug, but he's still more educational than advertising. I look forward to his show every Saturday. Fishin' Canada and Fish TV aren't too heavy on the plugs either and are worth the watch. My two cents.
  2. Has anyone ever fished the ship turning basin in the Toronto port lands? Looks like the grass is kept short and would be easy to walk around the edges or park a camping chair.
  3. 30lb Powerpro Maxcutro on my pike reel is going into season 3. It's faded but I dont care as I use 2 or 3 feet of fluoro leader. It's got a thinner diameter for same strength and as a result I can get another 15 or so feet casting distance compared to the braid I had on before. Highly recommend.
  4. Does anyone know of any group in the Toronto area, one that preferably that gets kids out fishing, that I can donate a bunch of smaller lures I don't use anymore? I have a bunch of smaller Rapalas, Mepps spinners, plastics, etc.. that would be great for kids. Thanks!
  5. That’s awesome! I thought it was a joke a first.
  6. That’s cool. Will have to try it out. Does it affect the invisibilty of fluoro? I have about 18” of 20# fluoro leader on braid.
  7. Had what I consider great success first time using one after work at a Toronto marina. Senkos, paddle tails, and square bills werent catching anything. Hooked up 3 smallies in under an hour once I started tossing the WP. Used a 90 Perch. My only issue with them is if anything gets stuck on the rotor, the body starts to spin and if you don’t have a swivel your line will twist. They only work well where there is no crap floating on the surface. As well, the front hook would occasionally catch my line. I’m going to switch it out to #6. Otherwise highly recommended. Wish I had one earlier.
  8. Perhaps you missed he sarcasm in my comment. I thought the rolly eyes would indicate that.
  9. Also picked up a Jackall Rerange 130 size. The weight transfer system in it is so smooth on the cast! Flies very straight tail first, no wobble in the air. Probably the longest casting jerkbait I’ve ever used.
  10. Those damn tattoos and ‘leftist ideals’. You never hear of rightiwing tattoo-free people committing suicide. ?
  11. Got checked shore fishing in Mississauga last year!
  12. Ill take your word for it. Placed an order for one.
  13. Nice looking lures! Size and weight are just what I'm after. Thanks!
  14. Thanks! Ordered a 110SP Flash Minnow..it's 17 grams! I'm a Husky Jerk guy but they are a bit of a challenge casting into wind and the #12 XRaps are a bit too fat for what I want.
  15. Anyone know of any decent jerkbaits in the 100-130mm size range heavier than 1/2oz or 14g's? Preferably 3/4 oz. Picked up a live target smelt, but want something heavier and suspending with some bright colours that I can launch from shore. Thanks.
  16. I tend to get more hook ups on the windy days. I pray for 25k tailwinds when fishing from shore. Wind in my face..not so much. Because of that, I have a spot for every wind direction to make sure I’m always casting downwind.
  17. Absolutely!! Nothing really to add to what everyone else has already said.. seeing deeper in the water is the biggest plus, not being able to read your phone screen is the biggest drawback.
  18. Good to know! Took mine out for a test drive yesterday and loved it. Well crafted lure!!
  19. Had to change them. Hooks looked like the lure was outside for a while. Put on same size VMCs I took off a Rapala. I'll try other ones if it seems to swim funny after that.
  20. Knowing how rare it is in North America, it's probably never going to see water like my Vision Onetens!
  21. Agreed. Looks like it will be good for pike. It's 3/4 ounce so it will cast nicely from shore. Slapped new hooks on it. Will have to find out for myself if it's a winner.
  22. I managed to figure that part out. Curious if anyone knows if they're any good.
  23. I've got a lure that someone gave me after he found it stuck on his sailboat. It's been hanging in my garage for 4 years and I finally got sick of looking at it and checked it out today. It's an OSP Rudra 130 SP. Solid feeling rattling suspending jerkbait. Yellow body, hazy purple back, orange belly. I wish I cleaned up sooner after inspecting it today. I've never heard of this company. Everything I find online is Russian or Japanese. Does anyone have experience with these or know if they're any good? Thanks!
  24. Not saying it can't happen here, but let's be thankful for where we live. Cant imagine what the families are going through right now. Unfortunately Americans are too invested in their gun culture. I believe they are past the point of no return.
