Trolling rod, planer board, downrigger advice
dave524 replied to 410001661's topic in General Discussion
Was never a fan of online boards. Ran a pair of homemade double boards off a mast in the front of the boats and releases were simply a box of rubber bands and shower curtain rings, the K.I.S.S. principle. -
Trolling rod, planer board, downrigger advice

Back in the day Lorne Green of L.G. Custom Tackle in Mount Hope told me the original Riggerstix were built on the brown fibreglass 10 wt. fly rod blanks when Fenwick/ Woodstream was in Niagara Falls , maybe you can source something similar if anyone still makes glass rod blanks. -

UK started vaccinating yesterday https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/uk-probing-if-allergic-reactions-linked-to-pfizer-vaccine/ar-BB1bLNga?li=AAggNb9 edit : now my wife checked into it and says Canada recommends that injections not be carried out in a facility without resuscitation equipment, scary stuff and people with a history of allergies were excluded from the trials -

I ran Ambassedeur 5500's on Fenwick 8 wt fiberglass fly blanks built as riggerstiks, loaded with 10 pound Trilene XT for all the time I fished Erie for Pickerel, they were more than adequate. Actually ran them for spring salmon too , a few 25 pound Kings came in on them too. Switched to 10 weight blanks and 6500's loaded with 14 XT for the big ones in the summer. -

The hardest part will be finding room for all the extra foam floatation with the added battery weight -
Bingo, we have a winner, seems they have been illegal for some time now, at least in Florida

Beauty pic, everytime I have seen one it has been sitting at eye level in a clump of evergreens. They are unbelievably tiny , under 8 inches and extremely tame.

The fishing has only improved since dad would put a green 5 1/2 Johnson in the trunk of the '52 Pontiac and we would rent a 16' cedar strip for 50cents an hour or $3 for the day from Ray Prophet of Ray's Boat Livery, drift fish with crayfish we dredged from a local pond. 5's are just as common now as 3's were back then . Zebra mussels made the water clearer and Gobies fattened them up.

I do a dry rub of garlic and onion powder, brown sugar, salt , pepper and paprika for a few hours in the fridge , then stand them up in the instant pot and do on high pressure for 22 minutes with a cup of apple juice, any more and you will have a hard time getting them out in one piece. Lay them flat on the broiler pan covered in foil for easy cleanup, baste with BBQ sauce and under the gas broiler of the kitchen stove .

You might be thinking of those Instant Pot electric pressure cookers ? I've got a couple, they do a cheap cut of roast beef to pot roast fall apart tender in a hour, same with pulled pork and baked beans from dry beans ( no presoaking ) in about the same. Though it may be a sin to the smoker guys here, they will do aa couple of racks of ribs in 22 minutes with a finish under the gas broiler with BBQ sauce for a quick rib fix.

Nice, my splake experience was limited to those laker backcross hybrids that we got in Georgian Bay tribs fishing Steelies in the fall in the late 80's. Some were a good size but never as nicely coloured up as that. They were good eating as long as you got them before the September closer as they were not included in the extended fall season.

Yup, I was park naturalist at Long Point Prov. Park, summers of 73 and 74, bad winds and the causeway was underwater and the water up almost to the front door of the park office and the road to the launch ramp flooded as well edit : lost a bunch of cottages on Hastings then too

I recall when OMC stopped making I/O's on the used market they referred to a white outdrive on a used boat as the " white leg of death " Weren't some of the smaller JohnnyRudes in later years actually Suzukis ?much like smaller Merc's are Tohatsu's

Got my flu shot Monday as well, along with my semi annual shot for another condition. I always understood the flu shot was a crap shoot, they try to predict what strain will be the most common this season and make millions of doses for that strain, sometimes they get it right sometimes not. Last year I got my flu shot and then a month or so later, I came down with the worst flu I have had in years, funny it was 5 days after I had a full checkup at the doc's, wanna stay healthy , keep away from where sick people go 😁 -

They are great, check Mar 4 and 11th 2019 -
Maybe downsizing your gear would work better " Ken O`Brien, a 28-year-old angler from Toronto, was trolling for walleyes with a 4-inch Countdown Rapala when he hooked the fish. "

Beginner wanting to tackle Lake Ont during warm spell

I'd be trolling the south shore with planer boards and Balsa minnow baits in less than 30 feet of water for Browns -
Seen quite a few DIY paint jobs on older tinners using the roll and tip method on IBoats, some look pretty respectable, could save a bundle.

We used to get a few wading off the fairgrounds in Caledonia in the fall on float gear.
