#%€%+*#~ NO. I’m ready for some warmer weather. Woke up early and we had 3 inches of snow. Went back to bed.

I use 5, 6 and 7 colour the most all in 15lb test. But my 10 colour is 27lb and goes out on every Lake O trip. Do you want to use planer boards? If so I’d split the cores and the run a 3 colour and a 7. 3 for your target depth and 7 for everywhere else deeper. My 5 and 7’s have beat the Lake Erie pickerel population pretty badly. If your just looking for clean off the back then spool the works on top of some 30 or 40lb braid and your backing will last forever. Hold tight, I catch a ton of fish on lead!

I’ll take a look, rods and reels probably not, I may have some flashers etc.

What are you looking for?

Some are, but Canada is different than the USA. It takes a lot to get Canadians fighting mad and it hasn’t got to that point. If it drags on a lot longer it will happen more and more.

Mine is about the same vintage. I’m thinking about replacing it shortly. I don’t run ethanol fuel but the rubber is starting to look a little bit sketchy. It can’t hurt. I’m going to get replacement line from my local marina though, not that junk from Canadian tire.

I bought a ton of beautiful crawlers in Amherstburg last week, they had coolers full. Cheap like Borscht too. Let’s hope that remains the same.

I was just wondering why you’d go all the way to BOQ when there was better crappie much closer, that’s all. I thought you where from SW ont, but it all makes sense now! Have fun.

The knots are becoming my downfall. Half of my knots these days end in curled line and a missing hook lol. I really have to squint and pay attention to what I’m doing!

Where do you live?

Nice fly’s. We had a huge midge hatch yesterday, get your magnifying glass out lol

Pal, go out and do some exploring. The pandemic police are in full force on websites and Facebook. Anyone who knows isn’t going to tell because Karen will call it in. Anyone that doesn’t will need to do their own groundwork or have a good buddy network already in place.

Absolutely, take the lesser ticket every time. The man knows what he’s talking about. You’d better put a chain across your ramp....

I did it, it wasn’t for me. I have a 14 footer on a trailer with a set of beach wheels for early season and tough to launch locations. Boat is light enough that I can take the outboard off and drag it down an embankment if I need to fish.

At least you got out fishing!

Hell even I’m ok with this it’s a nightmare under ideal conditions!

The new Tekotas are a smaller profile than the old style and a bit lighter. I have 4 of the new style and I’m running 500’s for my light rigger rods and my braid dipsys . If I wanted to run a significant amount of 100lb test or whatever it is that you musky guys are into I’d buy the 600’s for line capacity. The new ones are nice reels, but I have a bunch of the old ones and they are not leaps and bounds above the old style imho. If you could find a good used 5/600 Tekota you’d be laughing. You can sometimes find them on spoonpullers.

I’ve had terrible luck with nautilus batteries. Average luck with Costco batteries. Walmart has been ok so far. I have 2 optima blue top for the TM in my big boat. They came with it, I wouldn’t have bought them but so far they are holding strong at 4 years old. I have used lead acids on the Great Lakes for ages and taken a pounding and never had a problem. If I where to buy standard batteries I’d buy 2 of the 29’s they sell at Walmart. I have one that’s 6 years old and works perfectly for the tinner and used it on my old 16 footer for several years on the bow mount. It took a beating and still holds a charge and lasts a long time.

You know what, your right. All fishing is closed, it’s illegal to go outside your home. The fine for being in a boat or on a riverbank is 1 miiiiillllion dollars!!!! Zeeee Geshtappo vill arrest you for unlawful travel! There that ought to do it, it’ll be a lot quieter on the water for the rest of us now!

No they can’t because there is no travel restriction in place in Ontario. I hauled my boat to a private launch this morning. People are making up rules here. Go to the province of Ontario website or the OPP website if you want accurate information. It’s far superior than internet rumours and manufactured laws.

Nope , I don’t stop to chat, lick people or buy coffee either.

Section 71 of the old list. Other service providers. I know exactly what I’m speaking of. And I haven’t spread a single rumour or piece of misinformation. So here is some more real information for everyone on this thread. There is currently no restriction on your movement about the province. At this point it is merely a suggestion. There is also no restriction on your freedom to meet in groups, so long as it is 5 or less. You can also drive in a car with other people not of your household, as long as there are less than 5 in that car. You can’t operate a business that’s not on an essential list, and you can go for walks, ride your bike, run the dog, etc etc. unless it’s in a closed area. You can’t have a party with 10 of your closest friends, unless it’s a funeral, you can’t play softball in a park, you can’t use a municipal boat launch that has been closed by the governing body. But should you choose to go fishing or drive to Kapuskasing for groceries, or even take up residence in your cottage at this point your free to do so even though they are “strongly suggesting” you don’t. As long as you don’t enter into areas that have been closed to do these things you aren’t violating any rules.... yet. Your right Gmech, there is a lot of misinformation going around both online or on threads like this. I’ve seen it here and on Facebook.

Where were you three days ago when I had to shave my head?

Voluntarily or enforced, the result is the same. Where are all these folks the rest of the time? All you ever see ordinarily is people screaming about their Charter rights. Who knew all it would take was one good virus for the whole world to become communists LOL.

No dude, true story. The list was updated yesterday I’m not sure if the situation remains the same, and I’m not about to check until back to work time.
