  1. I have owned a bps pro qualifier suit and have to say I prefer the cabelas guide wear over the bps suit. I also have a frabill f4 suit but have only wore it a couple of times so can't say how it stands up over time. The Cabelas suit I have had for 3 years now and still very good. Holding up better than the bps one did

  2. Hey everyone. I am looking to buy a new handheld GPS. I am looking to see what everyone recommends. I will be using it for fishing mostly so I was thinking maybe a garmin as they have the inland lake maps for ontario.

     

    Anybody have any feedback on the units you guys are using. Any info is much appreciated.

  3. that was a fun weekend away pete! and yes you had the mojo going up on restoule for sure. kicked all our butts

     

    funny how things can be so different when you switch bodies of water.

     

    the next time I fish restoule will definitely be when the weeds are established.

  4. mike if your looking for twin 10's let me know. a buddy of mine is making very nice baits and can hook you up.

     

    I have never purchased from fudally. but doesn't sound like good customer service so far

     

    hope all works out for you

  5. Actually recent studies have shown that marihuana damages short and long term memory and significantly effects developing brains of young adults. Pot is not harmless. Especially today's hydroponically grown marihuana which is genetically modified to produce a THC content of close to and over 24%.

    Alcohol, tobacco and prescription pills have zero impact on the above mentioned side effects either right? Short and/or long term memory loss is a walk in the park compared to the negative effects of prescription pills, alcohol and tobacco. Come

    On now let's be real about this

  6. I placed my order as well. I use them during chilly mornings when driving the boat. Also throughout the fall to keep my face from getting too cold. They are also great when driving through lots of bugs. Keeps em out of your face haha

     

    I find them a bit warm during the real hot days but I sweat my ass off During all types of weather. I will throw one on if I feel like I'm burning.

  7. hey guys a quick question. after my last trip I plugged in my on board charger and everything looked normal. after a few days I went and checked on my boat and noticed the charger was still charging. I disconnected my charger and hooked up a battery meter and the batteries were fully charged.

     

    any ideas why the charger did not shut off and show that the batteries were fully charged?

     

    I am using a minnkotta on board charger. is it pooched? its only a couple years old.

     

    your help is greatly appreciated

  8. I headed out the other day in search of some jumbos on lady simcoe. We were hoping we were able to get the fish before the spawn and as soon as we got there we could see schools of thousands of fish.

     

    many big ones in the huge schools as well so we immediately began casting at the big girls but none would eat! it was dead calm and clear as glass. we figured we were in trouble.

     

    i immediately started to doubt our decision to bypass the minnows on the way to the lake and figured during a tough bite it may have been wise to bring along some minnows.

     

    just as i started to wonder the wind picked up a bit and a little ripple was on the water. and we started catching fish. turned out to be one the best days perching i have ever experienced.

     

    biggest of the day was just over 14 inches but we landed quite a few between 12 and 14 inches throughout the day.

     

    here is the biggest one of the day.

    gotta love it when things come together. the fish definetely wanted us to slow right down with our presentations but after a little fine tuning we cracked the code.

     

    they were extremely tasty. haha

  9. the hot bite continued as we landed fish after fish.

    as the evening progressed the bite slowed in our spot so we moved again and found some more active fish. a couple fatties too!

    landed a bunch more fish in the 5-10 pound range that didnt even get the net moving haha. boat side releases for anything under 15 pounds all of a sudden.

     

    after a full day of pounding some catfish we decided to call it quits. an amazing 46 catfish landed in one day. over a dozen over 15 pounds to boot. what a day.

     

    thanks for reading. enjoy the pics

  10. I had a day on the grand river a few weeks that is worth writing about. It all started when my cousin who doesnt fish too often called me in february and asked if i could take him out fishing this spring and immediately i thought of the amazing channel catfish on the grand river that i love to chase every april and may. So we set up a random saturday in April as typically it starts to heat up near the end of april and hope for some good weather as the weekend approached.

     

    As we had a pretty cold march i wasnt sure when the first day of fishing out of my boat would be but i was remaining hopeful that the grand river would open up and those kitty cats would start to feed!

     

    i finally received news that the grand had opened a week or so before my scheduled trip with my cousin and his friend so i started to get the boat all rigged up and ready to go. I have to say i absolutely love that transition period when i am putting the sled away and start to get the boat all rigged up as i know what amazing adventures are up ahead.

     

    so i hit the river the tuesday before the weekend and had a decent day with i think 10 or 11 channel cats landed but the water was still very cold and only a few spots were holding fish.

     

    saturday arrived my two guests for the day were very excited to get out there, neither had ever caught a channel cat before let alone a fish over 10 pounds. Little did they know this day was going to spoil the hell out of both of them! haha

     

    We arrived at fishmasters in dunnville for sunrise and immediately set out to our first spot. the anticipation was high for that first catfish but of course the first spot was slow. we set up and waited.....and waited... for about 1.5 hours when i was just about to move to the next spot and boom the first rod buckles. turns out to be an awesome fish at just over 15 pounds.

    fish fought like a champ and my buddy was happy. success! haha

     

    as i mentioned the fishing was slow so we decided to move to another spot even though we just banged one and i am glad we decided to move. as we pulled into the next spot the river was alive, fish swirling everywhere as my boat was spooking fish all over the place. fish jumping, frogs croaking, birds chirping it was awesome.

     

    we get all the rods set up and again the wait begins. within 5 minutes we had the first fish in the boat and over the next few hours we put on a clinic.
