Very very nice! I love how the long feathers are spaced out so nicely. To my surprise I heard pink/black is another good colour pattern. Orange/ black has been my old time favorite though. Tons of ideas for reference colour pattern/hook placement, etc on ebay.

That's a fine size. I've been using a 21" gym bag for the longest time. Its packed to the top with 4 plano 4700, lunch, portable fish finder, emergency rain clothes, first aid kit, tools, plastic bait bags, clothing, etc. This summer I'm getting a 26" roller (with big wheels) because I hate digging through things to get at the tackle and the large zipper flap looks ideal for easy access. It will fit in the rear of the boat on the bench beside me and I want to use rubber dip or spray to make the bottom of it water proof and so it will grip the aluminum bench and wont slide. I stayed away for the very large "specialty" bags that are sold at bass pro etc because they seem so way overpriced for what I need.

That looks great Joey. You could even add a plastic tail or 1/8" rabbit strip if you wanted it to have more tail action: http://www.youtube.c...player_embedded I will have to remember to pull over when I see some road kill. Free coon tail. edit2 : johnnyb maggots = perch bait.

That reminded me of this famous quote, "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve." - Bilbo Baggins kickingfrog sorry man but I could't tell if you were being serious or not without emoticons. like

Thats like saying if there were no cars we'd all get more exercise. If there were not internet there would be no OFC. edit: Like any invention (fire, guns, planes,etc) its a double edged sword.

This one in Hamilton? http://www.billsbaitandtackle.ca/ Good to know thanks.

ADB: I just called them at the Mississauga location. Power Pro 30lb braid 150 yds $14.45. Nice. Still tempted to buy the Suffix braid lol. I will sample them in store being such a connoisseur of fishing line .

Thanks for the heads up. I'll call anyhow, better to check in stock before going.

hmm don't see it http://lebaron.ca/english/specials.htm I'll call tomorrow when they open.

And Then The Fight Started My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'Dust.' And then the fight started... ---------- My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming Anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 In about 3 seconds.' I bought her a scale. And then the fight started... ---------- When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace Expensive... So, I took her to a gas station. And then the fight started... ---------- After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing My curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is Proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten Disability, too.' And then the fight started... ---------- My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I Kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife asked, 'Do you know her?' 'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to Drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she Hasn't been sober since.' 'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think that a person could go on Celebrating that long?' And then the fight started... ---------- I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my Order first. "I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please." He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"" "Nah, she can order for herself." And then the fight started... ---------- A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, "I feel Horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a Compliment." The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.' And then the fight started..... ---------- I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Miller Light for $14.95. Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95. I told her the beer would make her look better at night than the cold cream. And then the fight started.... ---------- My wife asked me if a certain dress made her butt look big. I told her Not as much as the dress that she had worn yesterday. And then the fight started..... ---------- A man and a woman were asleep like two innocent babies. Suddenly, at 3 o'clock in the morning, a loud noise came from outside. The woman, bewildered, jumped up from the bed and yelled at the man 'Holy crap. That must be my husband!' So the man jumped out of the bed; scared and naked jumped out the window. He smashed himself on the ground, ran through a thorn bush and to his car as fast as he could go. A few minutes later he returned and went up to the bedroom and screamed at the woman, 'I AM your husband!' The woman yelled back, 'Yeah, then why were you running?' And then the fight started..... ---------- Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, Grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a Torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, 'The weather out there is terrible.' My loving wife of 10 years replied, 'Can you believe my stupid husband Is out fishing in that?' And then the fight started ... ---------- I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary?" It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested, "How about the kitchen?" And that's when the fight started.... ---------- My wife and I are watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?" "No," she answered. I then said, "Is that your final answer?" She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying "Yes." So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." And that's when the fight started.

Thanks for posting that brifishrgy Valuable info.

yeah lol. If they had the power pro for $13 no tax like the other fishing store, I'd be there for sure. Nail clipper/free hat no so much. Berkley giving away free bag with gulp purchase: probably to reduce leakage on the carpet and consequential wife beating up husband.

Montreal fleyer says yes http://www.lebaron.ca/english/mtl_sale_2010.pdf also go habs go.

A negative attitude imo is a fisherman worst enemy. I cringe when I fish with someone who constantly whines," There's no fish here" and halfheartedly casts expecting no bites and then gets a knot in his line and concludes that everything is working against him. oh boy what a downer. Never seen a good fisherman with a negative attitude. I learned to always cast like you are expecting a bite and to be ready and alert for a bite. Positive attitude is key.

Keeps me sane until summer arrives.

Great report Stoty. Looks like you guys had a great time.

Smart move you guys and it really paid off. Good eating size fish.

Yep I can tell he's going to grow up loving fishing and the outdoors. Great Job. You're a fine dad. Little boy had a fun day. Tip: Make backup copies of the pics and videos. Data recovery for important pics is a PITA! Sister learned that the hard way.

nm. answered my own question. btw Tibbs you like 8 strands better than 4? limper, cuts into itself less?

Only when US retailer uses UPS to ship to me.

I remember reading on another enthusiast fishing forum that where the reels are manufactured is different and the tolerances might not be the same. My new stradic fi does not feel that smooth (compared to other reels in the same price range) to me but I bet it will be much smoother after a fishing trip or two. I'm guessing it just needs to be broken in and I'm also looking for a better lube for it. From the reviews I've read CI4 and stradic fi made in Malaysia, MGFB made in Japan.

I prefer saltwater over freshwater any day. Florida, Mediterranean, Australia. Edit: This---> 30 miles off shore on a jet ski fishing ship wrecks http://www.wfn.tv/video/video.php?video=401261

Ha that grunting video was interesting. Wonder if the worms would come up if your car woofer box face down on the grass and played some heavy metal?

Check the asphalt bike trails on Scarlett and/or Eglinton for the worms. Any dead flies on your windows sill from summer? I'd put that on a small hook.
