  1. Generally this is true but with pike you need the abrasion resistance of the heavy flouro carbon. You can also use steel leaders if you're so inclined. Personally I use steel or 40# flouro depending on what I am going to be using as a bait. My standard braid is 30# with 40#-60# leaders wire or flouro. When bottom bouncing for walleyes the lighter leader system really comes into play as you are much more likely to get hung up and the fishes teeth are no where near as sharp as pikes are. Same deal goes when I'm fishing for steelhead I want a lighter leader than my mainline so I don't lose my whole rig each time I get snagged.
  2. They don't like being boiled in oil either Bill.
  3. I would look for back bays and side channels with shallow 2'-6' early in the season. They should just be finished spawning now and will be recovering and trying to warm up in the shallows.
  4. Yep, I replaced my original bilge and live well pumps about 15 years ago to Rule pumps and they are still working like new.
  5. You're both wrong!!!! The correct answer is none!!! I will run my scooter on high!!!! :tease:
  6. Yeah, but you make it all back when you sell off all the weed you're growing!!!
  7. Yep. The area between the canal and the Niagara was always the best for me. Off the rifle range was good spot.
  8. Yep. We used to go down there to fish the spring derby years ago. We would moor my buddies 36' Hatteras in St. Kitts and drive down to fish.
  9. South? That's a long drive Dave. Down by St. Kitts?
  10. 4'-5' of ice with 0'-3' of snow on top here.
  11. And another ice fishing trip planned for tomorrow. Got to load the sled on the trailer now that the roads are pretty much ice free.Hope to have the boat out for some spring cleaning and work in a couple of weeks. Be a few more before I get it wet though.
  12. Mine's an SPS Camo 870. :good: I have other shot guns but that's my main huntin' shot gun. I have an old Belgian side by side that I bought for doubles shoots at the gun club when I was back East. And my favorite shot gun is a Weatherby Orion over/under I used for trap and sporting clays. Used to shoot for the Sydenham club in Owen Sound. :good:
  13. There are 3 different skeet tubes Light Skeet, Skeet and Improved Skeet. Constriction is .003", .005" and .007". Cylinder choke is .000". .005" is like the thickness of a piece of paper. It will be fine.
  14. And that is why he was sold rifled slugs.
  15. Should be open. If it is closed it is bad. Switch should close at 190* +-8*
  16. Yep!!!! That's it. The 2 screws hold the sensor in place. Where the black wire from the temp sensor connects to the terminal block there should be a tan wire (this comes from the low oil sensor assy. and a blue/tan wire this goes to the controls. If you disconnect the black wire and the alarm stops then the switch is bad. If it still goes off disconnect the blue/tan wire (this will eliminate anything to do with the low oil circuit. If it still goes off there is a short in the control wiring.
  17. Yes I am and yes I did. Ask Solo, he took the picture. :good:
  18. Exactly. I only huted white tails about 1/2 dozen times so the expense of a rifled barrel was not worth it to me. If I was a huge white tail hunter you can bet I would have bought a barrel though.
  19. I just ordered one of These from Bass Pro this week. Solopaddler had one on our Attawapiskat trip last spring and I really liked it so I will have one of the 24"X12"X12" models in the boat this year. It will hold a bunch of those 3700 series boxes.
  20. Not too bad really. I'm sure a rifled barrel would be better but it's pretty consistent out to 50-75 yds. I used it when I lived in Ontario for white tails (mostly hunted cedar swamps and the shooting was pretty close). Now it's used for bear defence when camping and hiking in the bush.
  21. Hmmmmmm, I've been using them for 15 years with my smooth barrel and rifled choke. Guess I've been doing it wrong for all those years.
  22. Actually the background is altered. This fish was really caught at the foot of Cherry Street!!!!!
  23. 'Cause he'll DIE!!!! Or swell up like a balloon!!!!
  24. Thanks Billy Bob. I just got a new house to go with it. Drifters New Casa
