Go with the Stradic 6:1 29" 7.9 OZ 6 LB/110 YDS ST1000FH. This reel would be great for what you want but also could be used for other species as well. If you want to go smaller in size look at the Shimano Symetre with 4.7:1, 22", 6.9OZ 4 LB/120 YDS 4+1 BEARINGS SY750FI

Please keep it up there. Think of it as an early Xmas present.

Give Fishing World in Hamilton a call. I know they carry the suits so they might carry the gloves as well. I am looking forward to using the new Shimano Gortex suits for winter, fall and spring fishing.

You will love it. My friend had his for over 15 years and is an ice fishing fanatic who is out as often he can and drills alot of holes. He finally bought a new one just because. The old one is still going strong from the person that bought it.

Go with the Eagle Fisheasy 245DS. Check different places for the best prices, but hands down go with the Fish easy.

This is a great opportunity. Good job TJ.

great lines. That's a great laugh for today. Geez am I getting old???????

Welcome to a great family on the internet. Look forward to your posts.

Looks like we got lucky so far

Have a great trip!!!!!! Con't lip the Cuda's like a bass. LOL

They do work on the long line troll. You can also use braided line for trolling which will allow the bait to go a little deeper and also subtle twitches will still give the bait eratic actions to increase strikes when slow trolling won't work.

Ya never know Terry maybe he will. It should be very interesting to hear his seminar and hopefully give up a few tips on Simcoe. It's a good day out as well to start thinking about the hardwater season. With this cold front going through this weekend maybe a good time to get the ice gear ready as well.

On Saturday December 2nd at Fishing World in Hamilton there will be an Ice Fishing seminar with special guest Wil Wegman. Wil is a very established Ice fisherman and also prominent on Lake Simcoe for ice fishing. The seminar times are 11:00am and again at 2:00pm. Last years seminars were really good for anyone who ice fishes, and hopefully Wil will give some of his secrets up on Simcoe. TJ said it was ok to post this.

Awesome contest and what a print wow!!!!!!

Congrats on the award.

Bass opens the last Saturday in June so I would recommend coming for the opener. Walleye and muskie are also both open at this time. This would give you alot of species to fish for. Look at Mississipi Lake near Ottawa, or even Pigeon Lake near Peterborough.

Awesome pic. Really is incredible art work.

Your going to love the new reel. They are truly incredible. The write up on it was an excellent read for anyone looking for a great casting reel.

This board is great, it truly is a family of friends.
