  2. Family Fishing Week

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by N.A.W

    So from July 7 to 15 you don’t need a licence to fish in Ontario. I like to take at least one person out during the free fishing periods that Ontario offers.

     

    This weekend, I will be taking my in-laws out fishing on 6-Mile Lake. Going to visit the cottage, and hopefully make a nice day out of it.

     

    Then one day next week after work, I am going to take a co-worker out who has been asking me for a few years to take her fishing. Hitting Simcoe for some perch, or what ever else is bitting.

     

    I never end up catching many fish. Mostly guiding, putting worms on hooks, and hopefully removing fish for the newbs in the boat!

     

    Is anyone else taking advantage of this free fishing week?

  3. Trolling Motors and Tinners....????

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I run a 14' aluminum with a 9.9 and a 36lb transom mount.

     

    There is no question that a bow mount with a foot control is more convenient. But the way my boat is set up, the transom mount works fantastic. I sit in the captains chair, can run the motor, fish finder and rod holder all looking in the same direction. Great slow trolling rig for walleye.

     

    The downsides of transom mount on a small boat... If you don't lift your main motor, and try to run the trolling motor, you end up with a serated prop really quick. And if you have the electric set to low in the water, the handle on the electric hits the main motor, and limits how much you can turn. A bit of a pain in the but at times.

     

     

    And definitally go stonger then 36lb.. It's not enough in strong wind.

  7. Dryden vs Denver

    I'm no quilting expert. But I wouldn't think a quilt shop in Dryden would pay the bills.

     

    It sounds like you both have very interesting jobs right now :thumbsup_anim: Why not ride them out for a while, untill you can afford to retire? How long will it be?

     

    P.S. This is advice from a low risk guy.. I wouldn't want to try to start something new, and end up loosing my shirt. Then never be able to retire.

    Very cool , thats got me think'n what can i do with my Fish TV .... lol .

     

    That's a good idea. Then you can control the angle of the camera too.

     

    I guess the benifit of the GO-Pro one, is that you can send it way back away from the boat, near your lure.

  11. Walleye Scar (from prick) on Finger

    This is just me, but when ever I get a sliver stuck under my skin, i cut it out myself, then treat it with peroxide and polysporin.

     

    I hate the feeling of having something buried under my skin.

     

    It sounds like there's something stuck in there to me. If you don't like the sound of digging it out your self, then I would go get it checked.

  15. Leaders for Pike

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    i'm using 40 lb flouro leader material with heavy swivels and snap swivels to make my own leaders for a fraction of the cost of ready made.

     

    bass pro has offshore angler saltwater flourocarbon leader material in 25m spools. the leaders on all 4 rods i've been running this year still look brand new after a bunch of pike so i'll be sticking with this line.

     

    X2. I use the same line.

     

    I tie my own leaders using high quality swivel snaps, and metal crimps. Very cheap. I've have the same leader on my pike for for a full season (Likely 50+ Pike), and is still looks brand new.
