Nicely done jeff! Now if u could just learn to catch bass like that... Lol

Oh the Bass are just as tasty !!!! HAHAHAH especially when they get up and around the 5 pound mark mmm great steaks LOL !!!!!!!

Maybe one day you'll get one close to my 7 ??? Naw not likely !

WOW that is a feed of really nice perch! Well done! Did you keep the presentation vertical, or drift in and out of the school?

Ipilot on Achor and fishing vertical for the most part

Sunday morning Dad and i Loaded up the boat and headed out to Lake erie for some perch having been out the a couple weeks Prior i decided I was going to run the plastic baits for a bit to make things a little more interesting for me , so i rigged up a drop shot rig and an xzone shiver shad and went to work , didnt take us long till we found a decent school for big perch and worked them for about an hour . Then just like that they were off the graph and the bite died so we got on the electric and motored around and found them again ! this happened a couple times in the 4 hours we were out there ! Fish seemed to be on the outside of the crowds i could hear people talking they were having a hard time catching but in a pack of 30 boats banging and clanging around its not hard to figure out why ....... anyhow i took a couple pics when we got home I didnt have time to take any on the water except for one .

Get out there if you can lots of fish around Contact the local shop and they can point you in the right direction on what where and how

would make for cheap backing on a centerpin or fly reel...... its the same diameter as power pro in the same pound test , but as you likely know

" YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR"

good luck

that rod should be an over the counter exchange , calls petes and explain , ( if it were me i'd leave out the " it broke on a snag portion " just say you broke it " Fishing" and ask them what your options are )

For me I do a lot of buying online , be it Ebay , Kijiji or fishing forums like these `and when a good Deal comes up on Something i think i want i buy it . Sometimes its a combo i want buy but only want the Reel or the other way around , so i buy the combo and sell the reel or rod off and get myself an even beter deal on the item i want to keep

I'll give you an example

Last week i was on Kijiji Looking at gear and i came across a combo for sale it was a Shimano Ci4 2500 spinning reel on a fenwick HMX rod i had no itentions of using the fenwick but i knew what it was worth and figured i could sell it i bought the Combo for $170 sold the rod for $60 . So someone got a 6 month old fenwick for $30 under retail and still under warranty and i got a like new Ci4 reel for $110 win win for both of us

Also I see things i may like for myself so i buy them because they are a good deal just to try them, because i know i can get my money back out of them by just putting it back up for sale , I never make any Money selling the items i buy and resell , its more so i can just get it and hold it first hand , a lot of shops around here dont carry a lot of high end model rods and if they do you cant sit there for an hour making sure you like it , I'm also the guy that tackle shops dont like to see cause i never buy new rods or reels from a store they always come from an online selling site be it ebay or whatever .

Try it find a model of rod you like in a store just pick one , say a G loomis NRX look at the retail price in the store it'll be around $475 plus taxes and your travel time but i bet you if i look online you can find that rod for $350 no tax have it shipped to your door then if you dont like it you can post it back for sale again and someone else gets the deal and then you know for sure you dont like it or it wont suit your style and type of fishing

its kinda helps pass time for me too some people drink some people buy lots of clothes I buy lots of tackle

Simon Frost ?

OUCH !!!!

that poor rod , you'll be in trouble now , new rod no MOJO .... uh oh better ship it back i'll use it for a couple weeks again

or send it to SOLO i cant keep trout off the rod i bought from him

buy a 621 ranger problem solved

Thanks for posting this I was looking at the GL3 the other day and now I just have to sell the wife on it. So most likely I will have my GL3 very soon. Thanks again.

this one Trout & Panfish Spinning - 2 Pcs., 4-10, 7' ?

Jeff this is the LAST thing u needed to wonder across!!

HAHAHAHA

Thanks !

I dont see a sale ? is there a link for it

Glad to see you putting it to use !! wanna sell it back yet ? LOL

Those lines do cast like crazy , but are like a saw on the finger , dont worry you'll develop a callus :S

notice the sally guard that was day 2 of a 7 days trip lol

So awsome , I would give up every fresh water fish to be able to fish the salt all the time ! i'm jealous

Congrats on the 1st permit

I usually go to simcoe for smelts but i would like to try some new spots. I have a group of guys that i usually go with and they would be happy to hear of a place that will produce smelts for once..

 

 

you and 100,000 other people would like to know this too !

please guys lets hear them spots

I always wondered what somebody with 5 million dollars worth of fishing equipment did for a living.

If you ever feel the need for a 6 foot centerpin , you let me know

yea i've ordered there no problems for me !

Any Specials on Fenwick rods and shimano reels ????

Tonnes of room in this boat for everything, easy to troll with the riggers when alone , no looking over your shoulder all day , in a 16' your gonna be looking for all the space you can ! I will never own a full console boat theres so much wasted space IMO

have a look at the Columbia American angler they dont carry it at Bass pro but i got mine on Ebay for 98 fo rthe jacket and the same again for the pants , it has good online reviews , or the BPS BoneDry

Pflueger Patriarch is ordered i will do a report once i get some hours on it !! thanks
