A Great White, cause they're eatin' machines and protected!!!!

MMMMMMMMMMMMM, seals are sooooooo tasty!!!! :lol:

Well 3 didn't take me seriously.. cost them 20% mark up on a 80K + tax boat!

I would have driven up with my new boat purchased from a different dealer just to rub it in their faces!!! :lol:

Good deal!!!

I don't have one of those but with that seat it's got to be really light and easy to pack into those back lakes.

I have an ODC 816 which is similar and very light.

I also have a Fishcat Cougar which is a much better built cat but alot heavier and not good for hike in spots.

You can also look on The Auto Trader Site as well.

yeah but he didn't type pickeral

he typed pickerel and I am pretty sure he mean yellow pickerel

so try again

I know Terry.

I'm just having a little fun.

Pretty soon we'll be asking the difference between walleye and pickerel?,That'll be equally interesting I would think.Was that a CAN/USA name difference?.

This ones easy!!!! :tease:

Walleye

Pickeral

Here's a good video on rigging up your spinning rod with braid/mono.

Rigging up Video

Interesting. That's always been a favourite color of mine too, I've got at least 6 identical ones in my collection.

 

If you're really desperate you can have them for $25 each LOL!

 

Recently I've had very good success on the piers using a very different spoon.

 

Short fat, compact spoons like the KO Wobbler and Moonshine Glow Spoons in a variety of colors have been lethal.

 

Point is, it's a good spoon, but not the be all and end all trust me.

Thanks for under cutting me buddy!!!!!

I got mine up in the classified section for $300 a piece since they are very rare and discontinued!!!!

I used to have a lot of luck chucking Cotton Cordell Big O plugs as well.

Perch, chartreuse, silver and best of all pearl white worked well for me.

I can't imagine those are much fun to fillet!

It's supposed to be pretty quick and painless with an electric fillet knife.

It is a bit of a chore with a manual one though.

oof... that was a harsh game to watch... i'm not sure what was worse... the sens defensive zone coverage or the referees. apparently both were terrible because that was ugly!

 

 

what i find odd is leaf fans rejoicing in a habs win. real leaf fans would be ashamed of you!!!

We aren't cheering a Habs win, that would be sacrilegious.

We are cheering another Sens loss. :clapping:

You murderous ghoul!!!

Looks yummy!!!!

4th Sat Dave, lol!!

 

I definitely won't be fishing 'steelhead' on opener.. All residents for me (brookies, browns, rainbows, etc)

HAHAHA, been away too long.

We don't have closed seasons up here.

Don't worry, the spoon still exists... just this colour pattern is possibly gone.

 

Burt

Sorry should have said best colour pier pitching spoon.

Wow!!!

Don't tell me they got rid of their best pier pitching spoon!!!

I still have a couple in my box, but now a days they are used for ice fishing duty.

I would start looking around the smaller tackle shops for them.

There's a better chance of finding one if they have been discontinued.

So those that fish the opener,are really fishing steelhead,not rainbows? So the wording "Rainbow opening weekend", is wrong"

Not necessarily.

There are lots of places that open on the 3rd Saturday in April that have regular rainbows in them.

Could you imagine the stream fishermen with there 13ft rods and CENTER PIN reels saying they caught rainbows.

Actually I catch very few steelhead now.

But every fall I catch tons of rainbows and occasionally a steelhead or two.

Here's one of those little rainbows I chase after.

Steelhead are anadromous rainbow trout.

This means they are a rainbow that migrates out of it's natal river to an ocean or large lake (Great Lakes) when it smolts. It lives it's life in the ocean or large lake and when mature it returns to it's natal stream to spawn. It returns to the ocean/lake after spawning to return (hopefully) yearly on these spawning runs.

A rainbow (non-steelhead) is one that does not drop out of it's natal stream into a large lake or ocean. It spends it's life in the river/stream it was born in.

Those wires could very likely connect to a relay that activaes the horn.

Check to see that you didn't accidently pull any of the wires off the relay when you were working on connecting them to the new switch.

It will come with time and practise. When I first bought my boat it took me 15min to back it into the launch with my fishing partner throwing his hands up in the air and offering to back it in for me (maybe he will chime in here) . The first time taking the boat out at the beginning of boat season I am a little rusty too.

 

On a side note, nothing is harder to back into the water then a sea doo with a pick up as you can't see the thing. I saw a girl struggling to do it at a launch so I offered to back it in for her but quickly realised why she was struggling. My eyes were struggling to stay off her as well

You need to take up ice fishing so you have to tow your quad or snowmobile around all winter.

Keeps you in tune for the softwater season.

Wow, that's one smart bird.

Cool looking fish. Are they considered invasive? Are you supposed to release them or kill them?

They look like they would be perfect chunked up and used for catfish bait.

Not as stupid as it is innocent... But when a new fisherman asks " how do you know when there's a fish bitin?"

I asked that once while bottom fishing in 400' of water off islamorada with 3#'s of weight on the line.

I asked the captain "how the heck do you know when you have a bite with all this line out and weight?"

His answer was simply "Oh, you'll know "

He was right, darn near got yanked outta the boat!!!!!

I used Primrose when I stocked my pond but here are a couple closer to the Grey/Bruce area.

Hatten in Chatsworth

Hedley's in Belgrave

I just use One of These

When I want to hook up my trailer I just drop it on the hitch and back up.

No having to line things up, judge things in the mirrors. Just back up until the hitch contacts the aligner and drop the hitch on the ball. No need to worry about over shooting the ball by a couple of inches and dinging your bumper either.

It pales in comparison to the hey days of the mid 80's when nearly 4X as many fish were put through there each spring.
