cockshut...really?

got a pic of the boat? whats the reg number? maybe the members on here would keep their eyes peeled for it. a long shot i'm sure, but you never know.

its not mine, but you sure are a standup guy for trying to get it back to its owner

i really like the bps extreme 2000 i picked up in spring i think its 49 usd

thanks guys, for sure she is getting something...she got me most of my votes. i think im leaning towards another spinning combo for me...pretty happy with the reel i got already.

tubes in either white or watermelon white spinnerbaits 1/4- 3/8 oz. 3" gulp leech texas rigged and jigged over bottom. crankbaits with a wide wobble ( ie dtfat3's)

hey, im looking for some input as to how to spend the $250 at bps I will get soon. I guess i got one of the secondary prizes from the adopt an angler contest wfn had on (18th place wahoo!). my thoughts are... 1st buy my wife a spinning combo so she has a setup of her own. and for me either a baitcast setup (7ft mh fast action), or another bps extreme spinning combo(7ft mh same as baitcast) . I already have one mounted on an old berkely medium light 7' spinning rod. I figure if i get another one paired with a mh rod, that leaves me with two setups and 4 line choices if i spool different line on each spool. The big decider is if i go for speed and power over versatility and the flexibility of having multiple line choices. I usually fish clear/stoney lake in the kawarthas as well as lake ontario from shore. any thoughts/ suggestions?

fair enough, I'm no pike expert by any means. I learn something new pretty much everyday on here.

has anyone suggested wire leaders yet, or does that just go without saying? good luck!

trying to get my nephew (3yrs old) into it. Always wants to change lure because "this one doesn't know how to fish!". Sadly I've probably said the same thing a dozen times this year. Last year a bass smoked my topwater and made a big splash while he was beside me. Fish broke me off, I turn around and he was sprinting halfway up the hill ( and screaming) to the cottage, rod still in hand dragging his lure 10 feet behind. Makes me laugh every time i think of it.

I really think carping is about location over bait choice for the most part. I tried last year at the mouth of the credit for days with no luck. This year I switched to a nearby spot and have scored 3 carp over 30" in just over 2.5 hrs of fishing. It sounds weird but I was basically using a steelhead float setup with corn instead of roe. Its been working like a charm.
