Oh I agree, the best things in life is fishing and eating. What days are you off and when's lunch time?

Least you met him. I always seem to miss him. He's either out fishing on his day off or hes on lunch. dsn

Yeah that was tough I got 12/20. When I did it the second time I got 10/20. When I did it again the third time I got.. well I'm too embrassed to say. Each test was differnt for sure. dsn

Garmin is one of the best brands. dsn

Sorry to hear you got skunked. From the title of the thread I thought is was going to a good one. You were definately in one of the prime spots for pike. Good luck next time. As for line I'd stay away from braid soon. It will freeze up. And yeah mono is crappy in cold weather. I'm using fireline right now. Its doesn't hols as much water and no birds nests either. Good luck on your next outting if you try again. dsn

I figured I'll worry about that when I get a fish on. dsn

Hey there's an idea!! dsn.

Yeah I was using it for carp this summer til a carp stole it from me.Its a 7 foot rod. funny it doesn't say what weight it is. But my guess is your standard medium. dsn

ahhh ok. I got it. thanks

I just checked the weekly flyer couldn't find anything. Then I went on thier main items and found this. Is it this one? or is it this one? None of the above are $15 bucks. dsn

yeh I was at BPS the other day and spent $200 bucks there. The shimano ExAGE STC Telescope was $67 bucks. Light weight easy to carry on the transit system. I also bought camo backpack for $14 bucks. dsn

Hard water in the GTA means ice fishing. This is my first attempt at ice fishing in the GTA. I saw these bubbles and some of the bubbles look fresh . (Carptracker ) The ones that have been around for a while are white. The fresh bubbles are darker. The ice was a solid clear sheet. Slightly less than half an inch thick. Unsafe to stand on, let alone walk on it. It was hard to break. I managed to break it with something heavy. You can see the clouds forming from fishing swimming away under the ice. Oh how frustrating, I can see them but I can't cast to them. My rig or whatever I cast just bounced off the ice and slid all along the surface. Not even a dent in the ice. I busted out the corn and chummed the hole. Lovely colors too I migth add. Then I seen them all swim by leaving a trail of smoke under the clear ice. And that was it. The ice fishing was over they never came back. So Then I decided to try softwater. Went to an other location in the GTA. Fish on!! Fought pretty good. Few head shakes even took out drag!! Carp? Salmon? Trout? Turns out to be a pike. I think I'll stick to the softwater. Nice size too I might add. It had a belly also. I was trying to find out where was my lure was and how deep it is. So I turned it on its side. Then I found that it took the cleo in deep!! I gently lifted it up and took it out. No damage. Took a quick pic for my record keeping and back she went. I was going to head out yesterday but couldn't make it with 007. Sorry bro. dsn

Here it is..fishing Show

Its not over yet. Theres more to come.

The only great thing with the show is that you can barter. LOL I did with bait rocket. I told the place where I bought it from some other place was selling it cheaper and I wantted a refund. He looked at me. And said ok well match it. And gave back the bounce. That was the only good thing about all the stores being together. dsn

Wow if that all happends it'll ruin the fishing show's for sure. So much for fun.It's exspensive as it is. Then I just won't bother going and just visit the local fishing stores for my stuff. dsn

I just got this email from my sister. Thought I give a heads up. From cra-arc.gc Alert

It definately isn't me.

I don't care much for the long weekend. I want to know about the show!! When? Where? How Much????? oops maybe I shouldn't ask. dsn

Well lets say if they dive for food they are liable to pick up the wrong peice of corn. Then to fly way.

There's always 2008

I bought fireline when it came out. I picked up 8lb for carp. And found tht 8lb test borke while fishing for carp maybe cause of zebra mussels. Then I switched up to 14lb test smoke fireline. That did better. How ever like some of the folks here mentioned. The fireline does lose its smokey dark cold and truns gray. They ut turns light gray. And that when I found that the fish can notice the live and will not even come near it. So Switched to Power Pro green. Powerpro did better cause the line lasts longer than the fireline. Fireline for me... only lasted one season then loses it color and frays. While powerpro's green color blended in with the weeds alot better and even when it loses it color abit its still looks like weeds. Not a gray line going through the water. Fireline works great for lake trout and whitefish at 70 feet deep. And doesn't retain any water. Or as much water as powerpro. Powerpro will retain and lot of water while your retriving it and it will freeze in cold temps. Thats the only draw back of powerpro will freeze. But if you ice fish in a heated hut and using a tip-up its great. But watch for line burn. Line burn is minor when it comes to fireline cause fireline will cut instead. LOL I used fireline and powerpro during hard water season. I will be turning to powerpro from here on in.

Canon Powershot A700
