You would have to go with dual filaments on the side markers and more wiring. Your request reminds me of one one of the strangest wiring snafus's I ever saw. Friend's trailer, the right turn worked perfectly but when he put the left signals on the whole trailer flashed, man we were sure it was a ground problem, a few pops, pulling wiring and hours later found it. He had replaced the left tail signal light with a single filament bulb where a dual filament should be, remarkably the contact on the bulb bridged the 2 contacts on the receptacle so that when the left signal were turned on , power was getting into the side marker taillight circuit. Was a real head scratcher for a while

The one I have is the middle one on the right hand side, the glo phlorescent green, it has very stout galvanized hooks, probably got it for pier casting staging Kings at night. Flatfish type lures were at one time very popular for salmon in the lake, Heddon had one called a " Tadpolly " I did well with on spring Kings, Luhr Jensen had the "Fireplug " a spring fishing staple in the late 70's, " Kwikfish " was popular as it handled speed better then the Helin " Flatfish " and my personal favourite was the "Canadian Wiggler " in the jointed model great on salmon and deadly on Erie eyes too, for eyes we would add a bit of nightcrawler to the front treble. There were probably others too.

Think it is an old Luhr Jensen " Fishback ". believe I have one somewhere edit: did the google thing, came up with this , looks like them http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae237/Old_Relics/Lure%20Displays/?action=view&current=IM007410.jpg&currenttag=Fishback%20display%20Luhr%20Jensen

Very nice, the pics and the poem. Fun knowing where a big one lives and how many times you can fool him in a small piece of water. The chinny really is a strange one, early run jack ?? a smolt that never went to the lake ?? its way bigger than most before they hit the big water.

Used them a lot for trolling walleyes in the evening, used the Gapen BaitWalkers in various sizes depending on depth with a floating rapala or a worm harness 30 - 36 " off the back. Google Gapen Bait Walker and there's chart showing recommended weights for various depths, these worked well for me.

Save yourself a lot of headaches, for the past ten years coming into anything at the Convention Centre, Air Canada Centre, CNE etc or even stuff like the Museum and downtown businesses I just drive from Grimsby to the Burlington GO train, hop on and get TTC tokens at Union station if required, not much more than the parking if I drove and a lot less stressful. Maybe there is something coming from the north that could work like this for you.

Same thought here. Used a few of them back in the late seventies when salmon fishing was taking off on various boats, believe the endplates were a red bakelite material back then, don't know if they been upgraded much over the years but for $120 you are close to a Garcia 7000 which I had on my boat, still got a couple, don't know of anyone still using their old 209's.

I used bait exclusively in the evenings, dewey, crayfish or lip hooked frog or salamander, CHECK the legality of salmanders now ? Once you position yourself, stay still and often it will betray it's presence once it has moved from cover into it's evening feeding lane. It is really surprising the size of some resident fish in very small streams, browns of 18 or more inches where brookies top out at ten inches. Not done it in years but most often it was an individual fish that I had previous knowledge of and was determined to outsmart it

Bigger fish are more prone to leave their daytime lairs for open water feeding positions at night. Bigger fish hit bigger baits, frogs mice crayfish etc. Bigger fish are much harder to land in small creek, they know their surrounding and will use it against you. ie.heavier tackle Bigger fish are usually solitary, they are predatory, somtimes cannibalistic, lack of other fish is a key to their presence sometimes. My best browns when I fished Norfolk County when I was younger came when concentrating on specific holes after dark with bigger baits and heavier tackle. Nice fish and good hunting

Ran one of these for years when the mood struck me downrigging on Lake Ontario, not a true moocher, but a lot of fun, used it with a 10 1/2 foot Fenwick E-glass medium action steelhead rod I built with a grip for that style of reel. I'd recommend it, if you wanted to search for a good used specimen. http://www.mitchellreels.net/index.php?option=com_easygallery&act=categories&cid=530&Itemid=72

You're right, must be a very recent change. Seems the Credit is that way now and the Grand you still can use a barbless treble in the restricted areas. thanks

While it may be better from a release standpoint to use a single pointed, barbless hook is not a treble a single hook as of a fairly recent reg change ? A treble with all the barbs pinched or removed would meet the single barbless criteria if I am not mistaken. I have seen single siwash take out the eye of many smaller fish lake fishing.

Mine is CTC Centro, there is 2 things I like about the particular one I have. first the grills are very heavy duty cast iron and second the rear burner for the rotisserie is not a simple single tube with holes but a long catalytic bar, if I have to replace in the future those are two features I would demand from another unit. The rotisserie with the main burners off and a drip pan is a joy to use after the old one with constant flare ups cause you cooked with the main burners on rotisserie. Nothing beats seasoned cast iron grill grates either, ocassional scrub down and brush with oil .

The reel was made by " Lucky Strike " I see yours is mounted flat to the rod, the one Dad had when I was a kid mounted in the normal way, it had a braided copper line on it. This link shows it. http://ontariolures.com/reels/luckystrikereel.html

A small diameter, deeply cut spinning reel spool is not the best choice for Fluoro. They are coming up with larger diameter shallow cut spools specifically for Fluoro. Perhaps your reel choice is not helping. This video helps explain somewhat.

Nice, should work well in extremely shallow water.

I wouldn't really classify the Grand below Caledonia as a trout stream, if trout made up more than a couple of percent of the fish I'd be surprised, and those are seasonal fish at that.

White Maribou Blakemore " Road Runners " in a 1/8 oz., use a countdown method till you fine the right depth.

Do much the same, we refer to it a Cheater's Scallopped Potatoes Same Kg. bag of hash browns, but add 1 can cream of mushroom and a 1 can of cheddar cheese soup, a bit of milk to desired consistency, often some finely chopped onions, take a vegatable peeler and shave some old cheddar on top near the end for real cheese flavour, without the sour cream and butter may have a few less calories per serving, must say Solo's recipe sounds far more decadent in the flavour area. Often do the chunks of taters wrapped in tinfoil on the grill, takes about 45 minutes on the warming rack with the lid slightly ajar. Just chunk taters into bite sized cubes, spread on tin foil and add salt pepper, chopped onions, peppers, then you can get creative with zuchinni, carrots, parmesan cheese or anything you can think of that sounds good, top with some olive oil and a springle of dried basil or even a splash of zesty Italian salad dressing for oil, fold up tightly and baked 45-60 minutes on the grill. Oh, we get the cheese powder for Kraft dinner from the bulk store, a few tablespoons of that for a cheesy flavour is good too.

Niagara is pretty darned good if you got a decent 18 - 20 footer sitting on a trailer. Lake Ontario for salmon and trout, Lake Erie for huge smallies, perch and good yellow pickeral, Niagara River produces well for muskies and all winter long for bows and browns, head west and you've got big kitties in the Grand. Yeah lots of people but you can escape the crowds once you get off the launch ramp.

Very Nice ran the same hull a lot of years with a "Sylvan" label on it, good hull a little narrower than most current offerings in the 18.5 size but deeper which I liked when setting riggers and such. Console is way to the front maximizing cockpit space , you got a winner there.

Yeah , that is unreal at that level of play. Bet that one will stand for eternity or at least till I'm gone

My fav bumper sticker is " HONK , if you've never seen an Uzi fired from a car window ! " possibly would cure impatient honkers on your tail in an urban environment.

Saw a few pics of some nice sized walleyes that were supposedly caught in Hamilton Harbour last summer, I would think a more detailed location would be held very closely. Think it was on the webpage of a Hamilton Tackle retailer.
