  1. looks great mike - really awesome
  2. Different types of honey will crystalise at different rates all comes down to glucose contest. microwave will make liquid but will change back quickly. You can buy tulepo honey from florida. But then it doesnt taste real great.
  3. Awesome enjoy some time, and yes he will eventually outfish you and take your boat
  4. Received this today, have used wagjag before - hope some people who want to attend can benefit. I am not affiliated in anyway. Mods hope OK to post if not please remove http://wagjag.com/?w=98133&utm_source=bm23&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Image+-+%2418+for+2+Adult+Admissions+to+the+Toronto+Boat+Show+on+January+14%2C+15+or+16%2C+2013+at+the+Direct+Energy+Centre+%28a+%2436+Value%29&utm_content=Toronto+Boat+Show+Admission&utm_campaign=TO+%2F+Etob+%2F+Scarb+-+Toronto+Boat+Show+%2F+Nu+Life+%2F+Eating+Pretty+-+Jan+3+2013 John
  5. Craig awesome mate. Looks a little like you after an all day fishing episode and a couple of beers.
  6. I have not read the book yet but from experience, Jim spent a whole day and many dinners listening to our plans (Greg - roaring dan seavey) and refining and helping us on our Lake of the woods trip. We spend a great day with him and he is really down to earth and good guy. I think all of us try to make sure if we are in sales to plug our business so a little product placement is always going to happen. We talked about different lures et al and he had no issue with us fising handlebarz but i must say I do fish with a sling and revo winch which was the same. I have the book coming for christmas as well. A must for the cottage I know a number of people on here will get a chance to read after days out.I dont think I ever posted this but Jim catching this one with Greg saying he hot on it jim - hang it out and slow down your eight will always go into my memory bank, jim saying after I couldnt see it anymore greg you made me get that one. My net job was stellar as well...nervous think about it 50 inch musky hunter jim saric and you are responsible with the net.
  7. I think all of the below makes sense, keep an eye out and get a st croix legend sling blade 8 foot 6 and a Revo toro winch 60 - unbeatable all around combo for casting. Again I am in Kawarthas but this had no problem with big girls at LOTW. Good Luck
  8. As always Dan gives a good explanation of our weekend, window is very small and we certainly caught our share. Key when you find one keep going back until they eat, we targeted one for instance three days in a row and got her at 3:30 today - finally. Technique was downsize not like previous years,where we were throwing pounders. Not sure I would throw suicks we were throwing hose baits a few weeks ago and they seem to lose their karma and we moved to fall baits
  9. Roaring Dan and Dax have it - cut the hooks on the lure and in the fish and Put your reel in freespool - take a few breaths and release the fish. Roaring Dan as greatest Net man I know should be listened too. Pigeon is tough if you find a deep weed bank dont get stuck like a bass fisherman and go to shore and fish the structure you see, they will be in the weeds or edge
  10. LOTW - what can you say - great story and epic fish, tough when ultimately your partner is as important to get the giant not sure who should get all the credit - I count the days to next year Great report I have to ask was it an oprah?
  11. karma is a great thing great people have great days - well done mike
  12. Can I be one of your kids mike....awesome date night well done
  13. I though everyone would get as much humour as I did in learning that the Great lakes had pirates. This all started as fishgreg (now renamed Dangeorous Dan Seavey his lessor known and dwarf brother) learnt about places as we travelled to LOTW Escanba is a really interesting place - I attach a link its very interesting reading. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Seavey Enjoy and good fishing
  14. Great day guys - I see Greg is finally improving as a net guy!
  15. Wow mike I love the footage - the first one why would she not eat!!!! (fishgreg has a tip to help!) Great day
  16. Thanks Craig I am counting days to next year, also days in fall with our special bait! Greg and I learnt a great deal and we never really have acknowledged the great accomplishments, Mike Parkers Lures were outstanding handlebarzmuskylures.com and we also bought back a modification which Mike will do for us (Mods I hope its OK I posted this here). we had an outstanding time, here are some other great memories. Greg and I also got all prizes available! Without my partner and great logic we would never have seen or caught as many!
  17. I am a real fan of 80 but Suffix 832 - switched a year ago and would never go back - I know PP has a good following as well but find it noisy in the guides
  18. Good work Paul - very good idea I see this being a project for me as well. I am sure the guys who fish with me at the back would applaud
  19. Hey craig nice work, about time you started getting new PB.....salmon or musky your going to have to decide??
  20. Got to the sonar page only (no split screen) and hit menu. That will give you a drop down and one of the choices will be pallet color. You can change the colors here and there are about a dozen combinations. The font size can be changed but not the style. Hit "pages" and on the main screen with Nothing but the screen pages showing hit menu and that will but you into the overlay options and you can move, change size of text and remove captions which will make it a smaller foot print still
  21. I got this from a lowrance pro Try putting your unit in shallow water mode first. then change your ping speed 18 then try this. noise reduction on low surface clutter on low color line 72
  22. The passion continues and was lucky to get out to a Kawartha lake with Taro on Monday an awesome guide and great mentor. Anyone who even thought about fishing Monday should think about the wind, it was a tough day. We headed out at about two and fished until about seven thirty after an excellent lunch I fished with my friend Dave and he set us off with a nice small guy in about ten feet of water wind side of weed hump We kept fishing an as usual instead of musky these pesky big walleye keep eating my lures After another hour I finally hooked and caught a monster the picture doesnt do it justice measure 47 and was really fat take a look at it walleye eating gut - i should have taken photo and made it look like a monster! I would say the heaviest fish I have caught. Came out a smashed my bait on wind side of some rocks. Maybe they are setting up for summer We then went and fished for bass on senkos never had an opportunity to do this before and had a really good time. Might even think about doing this a little! was awesome fun
  23. Only lure I had was a large black and orange spinner bait Thats awesome - congrats - I think Mike P chipped in above he will become your new best friend. It has been great to see just the numbers of smaller muskie around this year, must have been a great year class a couple of years ago, we also have been catching many in the 32-34 size.
  24. well done Dax as always Erie delivers and personally thanks for creating my interest in Musky! I will be hammering erie monday!
  25. This is issue emotive, I think we should be charged a fee and I will happily become someones enemy. Canada has it great, on the trent we live on the money paid by previous generation and yes we pay taxes but infrastructure away from the lake is crumbling or at least it is in the kawarthas. The problem I have is what is the fee going to be and then the annual rachet once its in vs affluent lakes with zero - if its consolidated reveneue I have an issue, if its as some say here to improve opportunity for all to share great, build ramps even better, make my kids get what we have - i will pay it now. The biggest issue is the small local gov need to consolidate and no fee will be required, just look at the number at the meeting today consolidate and eliminate the duplication
