nice going ...i too just found myself watching spey fishing techniques recently on the internet...its sparked an interest for sure...i kinda like the way the butts are like handles...

increase in numbers to say the least...last spring was a fa nominal run right into early June....so far this fall the fish numbers are staggering and the size and strength is outstanding !!!... thats a beauty fish ...nice shootin ... but the salmon run up here was no hell as opposed to last year...

i bet the elephant man is pissed he came back as a fish!!!!

sweet!!! was this pic taken with the gfs new camera??? over the years my son and i have whats called "The Wall of Shame" all fishing pics instead of the" wall of fame" that would be an awsome pic for it

nice shootin man ...fine specimens 4 sure!!!

yep lots of rain ...its time ! again

ontario ..chateau and calgary all kinda look alike ....maybe its the difference in amount of down ..nice lookin coats though ...just put sublime messages all over the place for the significant other to see...christmas is comming ya know ...

nothing good ever come out of Moosomin...all the good ones stayed... commin up this weekend?

HO HO HO Holy Crap is that the best excuse you have???

ive only been preserving the eggs with the foodsaver since the spring with great results ...at the beginning of the salmon run of this fall ...me and a few other buddies have been "testing" different cures and methods of curing ....salt...borax...borax and brown sugar....shake and cure both white and coloured... and the foodsaver way ....although only one of the methods has turned more fish then foodsaver way ...its held its own pretty good and your not handling poison (procure).. i dont like the eggs soft to the point they are impossible to tie bags without getting all gooey but i dont like them rubber either for steelies ( unless its salmon im targeting then i like to be able to bounce them off the wall) my personal preference) Kingsalmon-you have brought to my attention a few more methods to try because of the "whole herring" issue .....something to think about ... Stonefly- as of now the difference between pre cured (chemically) before freezing and only water cured hasnt provided a noticeable difference....maybe for sh8ts and giggles...ill cure some after the freeze and put them head to head with the uncured after the freeze... ultimately i would like to find the best formula for not having to "cure" anything ...but then again ...who wants to take a foodsaver with them everywhere they go ...lol..

nope i seal thawed fresh roe then freeze ...when i remove from the freezer i let thaw in the vacuum bags i make ....then use what i use and the rest goes into the vacuum containers and stays fresh in the fridge.... ive never had any explode on me yet.. edit to add my fresh roe is always water cured for aprx 10 minutes or so what i ment by "no curing" in the first post was chemically ...borax salt procure atlas etc there is a setting on the machine to not crush your product

very nice wrap up !!! Good for you

lord tunderin bye...hurry up and wait at the right time of day....then ...you wont have to wait some more... psst but i do like reading your quest though Good Luck and straight arrows

i use a foodsaver to keep eggs frozen ( package then freeze no curing)) ...i cant tell you how long they keep without getting freezer burnt but its never been an issue and when thawed they are as fresh as the day they went in ) ....with the model i have you can buy container that can be depressurized and i keep my thawed spawn in these for up to three months without having to freeze....fresh eggs ready to go ! the bags and rolls of packaging material are a bit pricey ..30$ for two rolls ( custom make your own bags) heres the model i have and i highly recommend it http://www.foodsaver.com/index.aspx?ovraw=foodsaver Now i feel like the sham wow dude...

the guys that bought Billy the Bass are the ones that will buy this thing ...

sweet shooting ....both with the rods and camera...good on ya ..

good attitude ....good luck ...

oh boy if i had a dime for everytime i said those words...

OUCH!!!! that hadda hurt....thats a big baby...

depends largely on how long your rod is ....size DOES matter..

Kincardine Sothampton or Port Elgin all have marinas with slips available....with camping seconds away

hmmmmmm i cant be 100% positive cuz the rock in my backyard has a different hue to it and no bird poop on it .... hope he gets his rod back....

gotta love it !!!!....so your now spreading your new addiciton to old buddies... ...there is no 12 step program for this ya know...

To be honest ...ive probably got 50 hits on this thread alone ...always checkin for some good news...even though i havent the abilities or a magic wand to flash around to make everything "right" ...if i did i would most defiantly apply it to your situation.... Try and stay positive Tambo...and for the times you cant ....Ill do it for ya .. All the best

staaaaay there ...Bill Shatrner
