I started my own business last year selling Trolling Flies, lead-free hair jigs and ice fishing lures. I carry a variety of jig heads style and weights. I use primarily bucktail and rabbit zonkers, but I do use other material as well My website is got2bite.com or you can check out my facebook page Got2Bite Fishing Tackle. James Got2Bite

Thanks for all the info. I will be in the Ste. Barbe area, hopefully we get a chance to hit the water.

Thanks Mike, PM replied.

I was up at my brother's property in Parry Sound and the black flies were thick. Couldn't talk or breath without sucking a few back.

I'm going with my girlfriend to visit her sister who lives on Lake St. Francis for a few days, hoping to get there by 1 pm on Saturday. Her sister has a canoe we can use and apparently there is a marina within a few kms from the house. Other than ice fishing and one trip on Lake Ontario last year, my girlfriend hasn't done much fishing, so I will be showing her the ropes. Does anyone know what is opened yet, ( I don't think I am taking my muskie gear, but you never know), licensing requirements, etc. Any help will be great.

In tight you will find browns this time of year. Over the last few years i have discovered that there is a residential population of Salmon around the various rivers towards the west. Personally I think its worth doing some scouting, you will be suprised how handy the information you learn from early season scouting becomes.

If you buy a wiring harness, the install should be fast. The hardest part is lining up the holes. Make sure you support the hitch as you are installing the bolts. I got a nieghbour to help me by supporting the hitch. I was shocked how easy it was to do.

Buy the hitch and wire harness from Uhaul and install it yourself. I have a 2010 Frontier and did the install myself in an hour.

I saw it in their Burlington location last weekend.

Give Wayne Andrews a call at Andrew's Charters. He is top notch, the oldest and most experienced Charter Captain on Lake Ontario. He is a founding member of the Port Credit Salmon and Trout Association and just simply a class act. Tell him you want numbers or size and he will get you fish. There is also Eddie at Square Tail charters. I don't have their phone numbers handy at the moment but you can look them up. They are both based out of Port Credit Marina. My own experience,is the morning bite is best. Oh and if you get the charter during the Great Ontario Salmon Hunt, and manage to get a bruiser you can enter the Salmon in the derby.

I bought the Seidio ONEX from Amazon. I ordered it Thursday afternoon and it arrived on Friday. Looks great so far. Went ice fishing on Simcoe, and no problems.

I was up there on Saturday, we got to the ice road at 7:30 and it was hard to see where the road was defined. I would recommend driving on the ice road, and perpendicular to where you want to fish. Have your buddy stay where you unload. Then park your vehicle either just off the road, where there is limited spots, or go back to the shore. Keep in mind, a truck fell through the ice a few weeks ago and they had to move the ice road over. The snow drifts can be steep and even with a 4x4 can get stuck. Some snow drifts were about 10"-12" deep. Treking out there will be tough even if you are not dragging anything.

I upgraded my S3 to an S4 over the weekend and I am looking to buy a waterproof case for it. When I bought my S3 about 3 years ago I got the Otter Box Defender and was not impressed at all. I went through 2 Defenders and 2 Commuters in that time frame. Neither are waterproof but lucky for me they are water resistant. I checked oniline reviews on the Deidio OBEX and Lifeproof's fre and nuud. All had mixed reviews. Not sure if there are others on the market. Considering the cost of a case I want something that will do the job and that will hopefully last a couple of years. Does anyone have any experience with waterproof cases, or suggest any others? Thanks.

I caught what would have been the Ontario record Burbot, approximately 12 lbs, 39" x 21" caught on 4 lb test while fishing for perch on Lake Simcoe. It was quickly released

I use it mostly for ice fishing on simcoe. Its not that bad. One big negative is that it really drains your battery. So if you are using it on the ice, get to your spot and quit the app.
