Does anyone know of a public launch on the north end of Lake Scugog? Does Pleasant Point Park have a launch? Thanks for any help!

Go to Walmart and buy a set of 27 series Everstarts. You probably won't get the run around if they die prematurely and they don't cost much.

I use a lot of shimano rods and the lifetime warranty and customer service is the #1 reason I continue to use them. I have had a number of rods replaced or repaired. The only downside is that it can take a few months to get a rod replaced depending on the model.

Send Mark an email, he can probably hook you up. [email protected] Hands down the best dropshot baits on the market. Every single bait is individually poured and packaged by hand.

Buy a set of everstarts from walmart. They cost about 90 bucks each, you'll get 15 bucks back for each of your old ones, and chances are they won't jerk you around if one of them dies early. You're only running 27's so theres no real need to drop 165 bucks. I've learned my lesson on that.

Nice Rig!

Thanks for the input. Never saw it last year in Canal so I was curious.

I fished Canal Lake yesterday and today and noticed a fair amount of dead pan fish throughout the lake. Mostly sunfish, crappies, and rock bass. Some were dead on the bottom, most were on the surface. Some looked to have be dead for a while, while others were still kicking. Water temps were anywhere from 52-58. Anyone know what's going on?

Looks great!

I've fished out of a couple 16' smokercrafts in the past and was really impressed. They are built like tanks! Never been in a princecraft so I can't comment. Best of luck with your purchase!

Don't get too caught up in trying to find the boat with the widest beam. Some of the best handling rough water boats have a narrow beam, and not a beam-forward design. A 2x4 will cut through the water better than a 2x6 right?

Seat has been filled!

If anyone is interested I have an open seat in my boat for Friday June 3. 8am-3pm or so, meet somewhere near Orillia. Will probably hit up Couchiching or one of the smaller lakes in the area for some Pike. If you're interested shoot me a PM with your cell #. I got everything we need, just chip a few bucks for gas and possible launch fee. -Drew

If you put gloves on to pump gas, bye bye man card. (I've seen it done, for real).

Well... If you're really looking at buying 6-8 combo's heres a list with some explanations... may put you in the right direction, but others will be along with their advice. 1. (1 or 2) 7' med fast spinning rod - dragging tubes, dropshotting, light jigs, etc 2. (1 or 2) 6' 6'' or 7' med hvy fast spinning rod - jerk baits, light cranks, topwater poppers, heavier tubes,jigging spoons, etc 3. (1 or 2) 7' med heavy moderate baitcast rod - crank baits, spinnerbaits 4. 7' - 7'6'' heavy fast baitcast rod - flipping and pitching 5. 7' med heavy fast baitcast rod - misc rod - heavier cranks, spinnerbaits, topwater,carolina rigs, etc... Just an idea of what you might want to consider. As for brands, there's lots of good stuff out there. Personally, I mainly use crucial rods with stradic spinning reels and revo baitcast reels and have been happy with them.
