Charlie what is a splake?

mike in quebec i believe its called "moulac" but they are quite rare around here

awesome job moosebunk

hmmmm thanks spiel never thought of the bait casters for trolling.. will have to take a look..but then again what reel would be good for me? for a spinning reel i was looking at the stradic mfga 2500 @ 184$ us .

thanks for the tips guys..just trying to get my facts straight before i head to the big fishing show this weekend so the salepeople dont try and sell me junk..i took all the models of rods you mentioned and the prices so i shall try them all out this saturday. im still open to suggestions:)

thanks again

Fenwick Teckna AV is a nice sensitive and durable rod. I have had mine for years.

will this rod be too sensative for the lures or will it put too much pressure? what size rod?

in the spot il be fishing theres pike in the 5-20lb range and mostly walleye but i want something a little reliable because il be guiding day in and out last thing i need is my reel breaking. il look into the daiwa pg 1350h thanks tjsa

just checked cabelas website and the fenwick hmx 2 piece is 84.95$ us.. what would be a good reel for this combo? maybe i can get a good deal this wekend we have a fishing show coming up

also found the berkley air im7 for 84.95$ ..im still open to suggestions

what about gloomis or st croix or shimano?

yeah il be using a spinning reel and id like a 2piece rod..thanks for all the suggestions keep em coming

btw whats a level wind? thanks

well guys and girls i need some expert advice

i will be leaving for 5 months this summer guiding clients on my favorite lake in northern quebec,il primarily be fishing walleye . im finally just starting to get all my equipment togther but i need another rod. i already have a st croix i use for jigging and a shimano 6 foot that i use as a back up, but part of my job will include trolling with clients. so far im looking at fenwick and g loomis. i also want something that will last the whole summer and not just break on me so easily.i want something light weight and durable.. do any of you have any suggestions on any models i can get?also id be using this rod to troll with hj,hot n tot,deep hj,thin fins.also what would be a good reel to go with it at around 100$. well thanks for any tip and or suggestions

does the garmin blue chart have the lakes in quebec? ok yeah and on the cablas site it says the blue chart has limited compatability with the legend..what does that mean?

You guys are great always there when someone needs some information .This is why I like the OFC so much.I am thinking about staying at a place called 3 season camp they have new owners who I met at the Montreal outfitter show.What I like about this outfitter is that his camp is a 8 mile boat ride from the main road.Yes a secluded place.Thanks again MTP

hey mike

when did you go to the outfitter show? i was there thursday when it opened. it was pretty good. il be going to the hunting and fishing show sometime this weekend. for the long weekend in may just be prepared ,last year i was up in the reserve la verendry area that weekend one day it was 20 degrees the next morning we woke up to 4 inches of fresh white snow lol good luck with your search

go and enjoy it..its rare you win a free trip..as for the job there many out there

awesome report

a couple weeks back i saw a show on discovery about piranahs and man these things are nuts, they put a dad cow in the water and it was gone withing 2 minutes

me and my buds usually bring out smoked deep sausage or deep steaks make a fire and fry it up, along with some potatoes cooked before hand and we just fry them up and pea soup

here on the north shor of montreal we have 20cms and were done..the storm was way overrated..

btw mistyriver1 awesome pics take advantage of the snow

mike

the storms winding down and we have a total of 20cms.. bot bad although we were expecting 40cms for the montreal region. oh well next storm we will get it good.. its so weird cuz at one point we were supposed to get 50cms.. it gives us total of 60cms on the ground to date

2cms here in montreal..the storm was downgraded were only supposed to get 15-20cms

Hey Bill I wish Quebec was like Ontario and workplaces actuallly shut down; mostly every snowstorm many people are expected to show up for work.As a travelling salesman on the road I have not missed a day in 7 years because of a snow storm.Strange but true.MTP

mike did you see yesterday on cfcf12 news, frank cavalero some what made fun of torontonians(sp?) he was trying to be funny and said" well toronto has already called in the army and the snow hasnt even started" i wonder if he got in trouble for that remark? lol im still waiting for the snow here in st-eustache. were now supposed to get 30-45cms.

well they dont know for montreal yet but one person says 15cm.. then accuweather says 30-45cm.. and meteo media says 25 cms... who knows but i know one thing il be out sledding

heres a plane i saw taking off..one of my most favorites..my dream

the big lake..nothing like a walleye chop

another sunrise pic

the river to the "honey hole"

i just use a 7 foot rod...6lbs test and as far as lures i just use a mepps spinner with a worm or another hot lure i use in the pembrooke area but on the quebec side is just a williams spoon silver/blue with a 1 or 2 foot lead with a worm , always does the trick with 1-2lb specs

wow nice shots..ive been following the ohl a bit, i find the juniors more exciting than the nhl. well it was a good game tavares and donati playes well..also lacasse was doing quite good tonight. excellent game , i think the next ohl game is next sunday cant wait

but what i dont get is why not take all canadians that are on welfare that are able to work or even homeless people and give them a bright future and just hire them out west??? im sure if i was homeless and saw they were paying 20 + $ an hour for beeing unexpirienced id jump on the chance.. just an idea

looks like ya had a good time..i always look forward to your reports they are some of the best..whens the next report ?lol

hey mike

good to see you had an awesome day. just from seeing your pictures i booked myself there for a day in march. must have been lots of traffic on the 15 up near mont tremblant?
