Thanks, I was on my blackberry and couldn't search

Picked some up at BPS and thinking of spooling it up. 8lb test for drop-shotting, finesssing worms and casting cranks. Thoughts before I spool it up?

I see what they say on their website, but does anyone have any first hand experience at Professor's Lake in Brampton?

my mistake I've corrected my post

I've always used mono since i was a kid and thinking of going braid for it's sensitivity. It's highly visible nature is what bothers me. My setup is spinning, so please help me with my line choice. Spinning Rod Setup Fish for Largemouth/Pike/Smallmouth I understand a Fluoro leader would be best for the Pike and I'm thinking always to use the Fluoro leader. Why wouldn't I use the Fluoro leader all the time for Large and Smallies? Cost only? Lure action? I'm not too concerned with cost as I appreciate getting out on the water and the extra few bucks doesn't bother me. Lure action - just tie it directly to the braid and not to use a snap?!?!?? I'm also worried about lb test. I understand with Pike and Largemouth for slashing x-raps, spinngin mepps and jig+pigging largies, that I should go heavier 20-25lb (?) and then for Smallies I should use (6-8lb?) for drop-shotting or jiggings or cranking? Is there any way I can use 1 line for all 3 species or should I rig up 1 rod with 6-8 lb and the other with 20lb? Always use Fluoro? 20 lb Fluoro for 20 lb braid on the Largemouth/Pike rod and 6 lb fluoro on 6 lb braid for the Smallies-rod? or just go full fluoro on both rods - 6lb fluoro (rod 1 - Smallies) and 20lb fluoro (rod 2 - Largemouth/Pike)? BUT if I'm using a Fluoro leader all the time, can I rig up 20lb braid and then just use a 20lb Fluoro leader since it's "invisible"? Thanks so much for your posts!

How long should an open package of Power Bait be sitting in a tackle box until it's discarded?

Renting a boat and just wondering where the best place for fish are? 90% fish in 10% of the water, right? I heard the South shore is best, true? Any tips would be great. Thanks in advance.

Going there for their Pike derby and looking for some tips. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Adventture Fishing maps are the only people producing mape out there for Ontario? Are they any good or waste of money? Anyone have scans of them so I can see what I'm thinking of buying? Looking at Belwood Lake, Little Lake, Depp Bay of Sparrow Lake and maybe Bass and Couch Lakes

Do they still have their annual pike derby? Any link?

do you just get on the ferry and get off at the island, find the channel and fish? Noone gives you any grief?

Where's everyone planning on celebrating this momentus occaision? I haven't fished for 5 years and trying to get back into it, but I'm looking for some spots in the Toronto area where I the likelyhood of getting skunked is lower than ususal. I'm on call for work, so I'll have to stick to the Toronto area. Leslie Split? Ontario Place? Spadina Marina? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
