Niagara river is a great fishery.

" How Swweeeet it is ", when it all comes together.

Try explaining yourself when the wife finds flourescent pink nailpolish and an old pair of stockings hidden in the tackle box. They're for fishing dear

Bruce I have lots

I'll be down to see you.

Thanks for looking. I know they are popular in the States. Have not seen them @ BPS.

Does anyone know of any store in Southern Ontario that carry the Gitzit line of products? I absolutely love their short tubes when smallies are finicky.

Brian, companies like Rogers get paid good $$$ to sell off their customers personal info (ie phone numbers) to marketing companies.

Same things happen with mail addies. You buy the magazine subscription and a few monthws later you start getting stacks of book and mag offers in the mail. Some charities also sell their donor lists.

Nobody was home?

Friday before last, 7:30am on Gull Lake in Minden I got checked...unmarked boat but had his brown jacket on...nice to see them out. Great pic of the Cop Taxi, CL

A lot of lakes, like Gull, might only get worked once a season. Most, never, so they target areas with well known to have crowds. After all, there are some 50,000 lakes and how many CO's?

I have seen a pair of CO's work the backwoods years back, plain clothed. Just kept visiting lake to lake along the portages.

don't miss the mackerel run

Mackerel run nothing. That's just bait. Get out on a tuna boat

They are hitting all the crowded spots. Get to cast a wider net and a bigger haul. They also hit L Gibson with considerable success. Good to see.

I saw her, a few years back, tied off in Bridgewater. She was a sorry sight, and it was sad to see a greyhound abandoned in such a state. I hope they do right by her now.

Looks good. Mee's a like

Somebody forgot to take his happy pills this morning

Nothing like a successful outing on the new boat, and getting that first coating of slime. WTG Cliff.

The different weather, this summer, will affect fish behaviour, as will an abundance of feed.

There is another factor. You have specific go to lures ( red rooster, etc...) that you throw at the same pools. Over time, the fish will condition to not respond to that bait any longer and be more wary. A new bait, bigger, smaller, new colour. Give them something different. It is amazing what will work.

My fishing has been quite productive so far this year. I just keep doing things differently, and I always go out with a few options in the backpack.

I used to love hunting, but it just got too dangerous. Gave up after having a few close calls in one season.

In the pond, take 2 approaches.

1) the float. worm set just off the bottom so it drifts and moves with the wind. If using corn have hook resting on bottom with a little slack to give a cat or carp time take the bait. Use a micro tube on a slip float gradually twitching it back to you. The rise and fall of that tube can be effective.

2) casting. Try a couple of varieties of spinnerbaits, twitch bait, popper, floating rapala, etc... Use both slow and fast retrieves to try and entice a surface strike. These are just standard tactics for working any shallow pond or pool.

Nothing like a little heart pounding excitement. Looks like you had fun.

I had to SQUINT to see that word. I use the 'OFC Club' skin for this site.

Thanks for the kind words, gents! I'm having an indecent amount of fun at this.

It beats watching 'Charlie Moore' or 'The Old and The Useless'

Thanks, Jacques!

 

We have a small garden and I think I'll have to try that. Can't have too much garlic!

 

I saved your instructions to remind myself at the right time.

Make sure your fall planting gets a month's grow time before getting too cold. They need to establish a good root ball before winter.

I had just pulled 1/2 of my garlic on Weds. I had 100 sets in the ground. Need lots for the 200 odd jars of dill pickles and salsa, let alone any other culinary needs.

It would only be libel if the statement weren't true. Based on the abundant evidence posted here....

You've found yourself some nice little honey holes. WTG.

In the park, walleye come up sulphur creek, at night, to feed below the dam. Come morning they tend to move back.
