Could be that the (typically felt) drag washer is just too compressed and needs to be replaced. I did this to a bunch of my reels (replaced w carbon drag washers) and can't believe how smooth they are now, especially the ones that had felt washers before.

It's quite expensive, but the BPS 100MPH is tough to beat. I have had one for 4 years and every time it rains, I'm reminded that (for me) it was money well spent. Dry as a bone no matter how intense the downpour, even ripping at 50-60mph. Like anything, it's all about being able to justify the expense to yourself so cheaper options are out there, but something with a Goretex (or similar breathable membrane) is really where it's at for keeping the rain out while still allowing any moisture from your body to escape. For what it's worth, I also love wearing the bibs on cooler summer or fall mornings: they're 100% windproof as well?

You could try Erik Luzak of Bass Class: he's a good guy and a knowledgeable teacher...also has a couple good guys that he works with if double booked. www.bassclass.ca

If the fish are purchased from a fish farm, I'm sure it'd be perfectly legal; no different than stocking a pond. Lots of places around that cultivate bass (or other species) for stocking ponds etc.: Http://www.facebook.com/Zephyr-Fish-Farm-191855486176157 http://www.ontarioaquaculture.net/fish-stocking/kinmount.php Feeder fish from any pet store will get it done for eats...

I've had success in clear water using a jerk bait to call them in and tossing a dropshot or senko to followers. Unbelievably effective 1-2 punch for bronze backs.

I bought an 18" battery jumper cable from a battery shop: no issues. I'd imagine you could buy a short length of 6Awg and the end pieces (to hook onto the battery) for a few bucks if you wanted to do it yourself.

I gotta 2nd continuing on to Agawa Bay; tons of trails and fishing in LSPP, good visitors centre too. Beautiful country up there, just love it.

I went on a fly in around 10 years ago and the folks that stayed in the cabin before us actually left some bug nets that cover your bed (hung from the ceiling or top bunk). Definitely high on my list of stuff to bring for the next one, they were really handy.

You beat me to it Fang; gotta check out Ron Post's work, he makes some beautiful, high quality knives. Gotta say, your stuff looks really impressive too Art...love the look of the 3rd one from the top.

Trev, you should call the visitors facility at the park, the one by Agawa Campground. Pretty sure it's open all year, and the staff is usually pretty helpful in my experience. Definitely jealous, you going up with Tom, or Julie?

I don't know, but definitely thought the same thing when the changes came out... Darcy

Welcome aboard, and although I've never fished Mill Lake, good luck. There is some great fishing up that way.

Thanks man, definitely some bruisers in this thread!!! Caught quite a few nice bags in Sept over the years... I'd say overall it's likely my favorite month to fish.

Those are some good'ns to be sure!!!

Got these fatties in the same day as well, all 5lbs+ Gotta love it, can't wait for bass season to open up again...

Never really hit it through the ice, but I'm sure someone on here can give you some info on it...

Looks great, I've always liked the bear skin rugs!

10-12" off the west side side of Thorah, and tons of snow. Felt like I was riding a seadoo on the way out this morning with all the drifts!!!

Always been one of my favorites as well, really drives home the fundamentals; sharp hooks & retying often. Also seen some great bass shows that he has done; not trolling but he was using Live Target Baits before pretty much anyone else... On another note, most fishing shows are pretty much infomercials: if hosts aren't pushing product say goodbye to the sponsers. and it's generally not viable to bankroll a show by yourself. Sponsers definitely rule this business!

Double post, whoops!

The man knows what he's talking about!!! lol

Those are some slabs Vince; not much is tastier than a good ol' crappie kill! Darc

I am shocked at what I'm reading, as I exclusively throw open eyed spinnerbaits and haven't bought the closed eye ones in years. I throw spinnerbaits an awful lot, and have found that the closed eye baits are way harder to tune than the open eye ones because they are slightly off-set. I always tie direct with a uni-knot and have never had a big problem with bite offs. If you snug up the knot enough it doesn't slip too bad and if it does, it's easy to just slide it back into position and snug it up again. I generally prefer 1/2oz baits and really like the Stike King KVD models: a bit spendy, but the wire shaft is a little heavier gauge and I really get some great mileage out of them. JMHO, Darcy

Sweet fish, gotta be from Simcoe?
