hey bob

im looking for the 1/2 oz model and 3/4 oz model stock number 6557 color 0949

thanks

nothing good for the habs..a goalie with hardly any nhl expirience.. great just what we need

well im looking for this lure from luhr jensen, its called hotlips. its a deep diving crankbait. does anyone here use them often or know where i could purchase them? i tryed bps,cabelas,lebaron,s.a.i.l and nobody has them!!!

why exactly is there a lack of fuel in ontario? here in quebec everything seems fine and dandy

another amazing report.. how about a walleye report soon? keep em coming

awesome reel

a friend has the 2500mgfa.. he says its an amazing reel and wouldent change his. damnn expensive but nice

you should post some pics of your new baby

hey bill

if you speak good enough french il pm ya with a french fishing website in quebec and there are loads of members in the saguenay lac st jean area. you might get into some sea run specks

hey bill parker

get a hold of dabluz. theres alot of oppurtunitys for fishing. do you speak any french?

mike awesome report.. my cousin was there and didnt do to well either:( did you fish out on the st lawrence or is it a lake?

oh yeah and also to claim my fishing stuff on taxes do i need a decleration(sp?) from my employer stating that i used my own earning to buy my tackle/equipment?

ok well i will be declared by the place im working for so i can claim unemployement for the off season.. so does that count as me claiming the income? thnks

hey i love the rod already..i have a spot in my bed for it already!!! lol.. i know the whole budget thing was blown but as you guys explained to me im better getting quality since i will be using it day in and day out. now i cant wait to use it, is it really that sensative that you feel every rock and pebble?wow.

one little question i was wondering about since i need all these rod/reels for work tools next year may i claim them on my taxes or atleast a percentage?

well guys i made the big purchase today.

i bought my rod/reel from a local tackle shop that i buy everything from. i rather support a local tackle shop than a big store like cablas or le baron,plus this guy gives me a 10% discount from beeing a member on a quebec fishing website.

so here what i bought

rod-Fenwick techna av 6"6

reel(spinning)- shimano symetre 2500ri

and with the rod i got a free fenwick rodcase

in all this set me back 300$ tax included.. not bad

now i have the hunting and fishing show tommrow, lets see what kind of lures i can find

thanks again for all the help

i know the knowledge everybody has around here is really great. i learned more here in 2 days than i would have in 1 year. now hopefully this fall i will have some tips and tricks of my own to share with other newbies that need some help. and dont worry i will have more questions before i leave lol

thanks again

wow..snow can really do some damage..hope you were able to salvage some stuff, btw is gurrty one of them turkeys you have around your house?

ahhh very interesting.. awesome tips guys

yeah my friend that uses spider wire cuts the line and re ties the lure after every 3-4 fish, or else like you say it get very weak and will cut easily..il have 3 reels one with spider wire 20lbs. one with stren 8lb clear mono and stren 8lb gold ...i should have alll the bases covered..man i never knew beeing a guide was this much preperation lol but i cant wait

amazing pictures... i didnt think that these places still existed without going to yukon,nwt.

cant wait for the next report

prettty good advice guys.. man there are so many options.. well let the lure shopping begin.. there is lots of stumps at the bottom since they logged it and flooded it so for this reason i was thinking of going with spider-wire 30lb with a 6lb diameter. this way i can use it to jig and or troll without using leaders, thats what my friend does with great sucess

i cant wait to get on the water..i leave as soon as the ice goes..normally the ice goes the 2nd week of may, last year it went the end of the 1st week..im hopeing the ice will be gone for may 1st so i have tome to settle in and find the spots..atleasrs il have some good pics when i get back

awesome thanks

i use to have a really amazing lure its the luhr jensen hot lips with the big lip silver/blue..it would get down to about 30-33 feet and get those walleye to bite but they stopped making them.. ..il figure out the winning lure again

There are a few that get to 30', but if they don't you can just use a 3way swivel and add weight accordingly to reach your desired depth. I also use floating lip-less minnows behind bottom bouncers sometimes.

can you share with me which ones get to the 30 feet deep range?

i had thought of manns but the baits are huggeee..theres also maybe reef runners? deep husky jerks?

thanks

thanks for all the help ben

i made up my mind finally and will be going with the fenwick techna 6"6 and will be going for the regular stradic.

as for hard baits i have one question. i will be fishing a reservoir thats 250 miles long with all the bays and islands with many deep spots.. ranging anywhere from 1-230feet deep. now only question i have is for summer eyes, i need a crankbait lure that will make it down to 30feet deep .they seem to hold there from july till closing.

any suggestions on deep diving crankbaits? keep in mind the average size wallye are 2-3lbs with some big ones in there.

thanks again

thanks for all the awesome advice guys

a baitcaster sounds very interesting. is it hard to spool up the reel with line? but now im confused whether to get the fwnwick techna/ with a stradic or get a bait casting style rod/reel. i guess i will have to try out different rods, but what scares me with the baitcaster is lets say i try casting for pike and walleye it looks really hard to use?

so saturday at the fishing show il check out the following

-fenwick hmx 7ft(i will check if they have baitcasting models)

-fenwick techna av mf-2 6"6 which i will also check if they have a baitcasting model

also trapshooter since this is my first year guiding exactly how much lures do you stock up on? so far i have as follows

5-hj blue orange

2- xrap for pike

4-thin fin black/silver and perch

1- tail dancer silver/black

so i was thinking maybe buy what about 20 more hardbaits and i should be good?

the place i will be in is very deep in the woods and only planes or boats can access it so i gotta think smart and bring as much stock as possible.

as for jigs i will order 300 jig heads 1/4 and 3/8 and 300 tails(3inch) white yellow green sparkle

think i will need alot more?
