lol I'm not sure where in Alberta you are from, but it is $1.16 where I am in Alberta.

Headed out for a few hours Monday night to a "Lake Huron trib", & managed only 1 salmon (11 1/2 lbs) & lost a nice brown.....lots of fish jumping! Also, went trolling outta Port Credit last week, but only managed 2 'bow's, biggest about 6 lbs, & 2 small Chinook, with 5lbs being the biggest (I know, pretty pathetic in size, but it tasted good & sure beat a skunk!) Maybe, "barefootwader" can post his pics of the bow's when he reads this!!

It's definately a channel cat! We don't have blue cats in Canada!

Pinks are definately still in Erie. I caught one last fall in an Erie trib, and a few the year before! Actually saw quite a few in the trib that year as well....so I imagine there should be a decent run this year, or possibly next!

That is absolutely DISGUSTING! Commercial fishing MAKES ME SICK!!!!

Looks like a Redhorse to me!

I actually saw a few Banjo Minnow kits at Wal-Mart the other day....maybe you should see if your store has them as well!

Check the MTX website, or Rockford, or Sony, whichever you want to get, and see about getting a pre-fab box that will fit under your rear seat! You can get the box's empty or already loaded with sub and built in amp. 'm not a fan of Sony subs or amps myself, but I know for a fact they make pre-fab's for full size Dodge & Ford pick ups and I'm quite sure MTX do as well! Worth a look.

Funny...the only reason the shark was injured in the first place, was because they decided to kill it!!! This is where their own personal greed comes back into play! Do we want to release an endangered Great White, or do we want to fill our wallets?

The Thames has a pretty good year round walleye fishery....you just have to find them! As previously stated it is also a damn good Smallmouth Bass fishery, as well as Pike, Crappie, Rock Bass, Channel Cats, Gar Pike, Rainbow & Browns...and you might get lucky with a Musky or 2,although seems pretty rare near London now a days, but I have heard of them caught before!

It's only a matter of time before they do get in! & yes, Canada did let some invasive species in...but in reality, the kind of damage the zebra muscles & gobies have created is extremely minimal, compared to the damage the asian carp are going to impose on the great lakes! Say good bye to the ecosystem....not to mention the economy!

I can't speak for the quantum, but I have a couple Citica's and haven't had a problem yet with them! Great reels for the price!

I know that the Cotton Cordell Wally diver still doesn't have rattles. That's weird, because all of mine have rattles in them!

They use to make a lighter colour crayfish colour, which I personally like better, but the newer darker colours still works fine!

The Gov't dock has a spot where you could launch! Turn left at the variety store & it will take you right to it! Right in BBP, in the Kemp side!

I agree w/ Cudz....especially fishing the Thames, the crayfish colour lipless cranks work wonders on the smallies! But to sum it up, everything you've shown tonight will catch smallies, & pretty well every other fish around here! You got urself a good arsenal....the only other suggestions I have is to add a few spinnerbaits, & some plastics (tubes & grubs) to the mix...& most definately use some larger sized cranks & jerkbaits (size 8 & 10) as well! Oh ya, I also like to carry a few spinners with me too....just in case

For the price you did just fine! I'm not sure about the spinning reels, but the Pinnacle baitcaster's suck in my opinion! I bought one a couple years ago & it didn't even last 1 season! Anti-reverse & the breaking system went on it..

I agree that they are a rip off! I really only go to CT if there's a "supposed" sale to see what they got..99% of the time I leave disappointed & disgusted at their prices! Hell, I've noticed even wally mart has uped the prices on their fishing equipment! ex. A spinnerbait I could buy last year for $4.99 is now $9.69! Unless I come across a good deal, or really need something, you won't see me shoppin at these places! Hey FM, maybe you can tell me, what's the deal on the Clackin Raps? Why so expensive? Just cuz they are new? CT here has them for $14.99 & WM sellin'em for about $11

Yesterday I bought $76 worth of jiggin raps & swedish pimples! Today I went back, & bought the 2hp Jiffy auger! It was the only gas auger they had...but for $199, can't really complain

I can't speak for the Mustang suits, but I have the Delta suit & I find it really warm! It's pretty bad when it's -30 out & your still sweating! lol & from what I hear the Alpha suits are that much warmer!

That's freakin Awesome! Too bad the wally's didn't cooperate that well on the Thursday! & now the rivers are Toast for the season! What a mess to come back to,eh? We should head out somewhere this weekend!! I still got ur suit in my truck! ...I think it feels you've abandoned it, seems really depressed lately! LOL

If your ever in the London area...Lambeth Rod & Tackle had some the other day!

My buddy & I made it out on Simcoe last Saturday for the first time this year & also our first time fishing "trout grounds" & although it was windy & cold & fishing was slow....I did manage to catch 1 laker pushing 30", Which just so happens to be my first laker ever! & to top things off, I caught it on my 24" UL setup...which was a blast! I also caught a nice sized ciscoe & my buddy got about a 4lb whitefish. Both the ciscoe & laker were released! Pic is kinda crappy as it was taken with my phone & the fish was moving LOL

I definately agree on how crappy CT is with their "Sale Items"...& most of the time when they do get the item in stock, it's something entirely different then what was advertised! (like the floater suits from last month).... I had actually picked up one of those sleds here in St Thomas, last Tuesday (they had 3 of them) I paid full price for it, & to my suprise it went on sale in the new flyer. So i took my reciept in & they refunded the balance. That's about the best experience i've had with CT in a long while!

Oh No...these temps & rain are gonna give a royal kicken to any plans of goin out on that ice this weekend! Hopefully it'll change
