A generous offer Simon And Frank yes this board is full of great gents, too many to down too.

Thanks Miller, but the reels im looking at are much bigger, for the sole purpose of catching a big runner sort of speak with fury in him

I will need new rods to go with it, thats a definite. Im just not sure as to which ones as of yet. I dont want to spend a ton of $ on a twin set up as of yet. The rods do need to be over ten feet long, it is a 1 to 1 ratio reel. The longer the rod the better. Any input as meantioned would be apreciated, no matter. Just another tactic to have on board just for the experience, thats all.

I watched the BC guys doing this for Salmon. I really dont hear of anyone on the great lakes doing this, trolling for salmon. I hear its fun to do, possibly fatiguing If its the same as a float reel including a drag systen, shoot why not try it. Only reason I am asking is because, Ive seen a few mooching reels at the local shop, at a reasonable price. I know they are a 1 to 1 ratio reel. But it would be fun to try anyway. Any expierenced input would be valued Good or bad Thanks in advance

Yup, all bottled up in arberfolye, at 101 brock rd guelph. Mike, pm me and I can send you to a nice hidding spot for fishing, and some nice scenery as well. Guelph lake is ok, it was much better years ago, fishing wise for me.

Happy Bday Simon All the best to you And what Albert said as well

I drove down to my usuall area for chromies, looked at the waves and said no way, its not looking good out there. So I hung a right and ventured on. I launched and headed to the stomping grounds that very few spoke about. My target was walters. I found them, seen them on the ff, had them follow as well For what? None of them to nibble at all I ran one line on a rigger and the other was lead core. The rigger line twitched a few times so I brought it up A little wee smallie on a lure its own size. At least I didnt get skunked and I know now some tails are actual truths in a manner of speaking. The waves told me another story, so it was time to get out.

The bass and pike I did expect, but as for the kitty That surprised me for that size The bass i catch are in the hot times of the season and they are big. Im surprised that no crappie were caught.In good faith here is something Ive been dealing with for a while, frustrating but fun as well. Cant find the pic but im sure this will intice you, pic is a little crappy though.

Sooooo????? how did you do today, just curious cause I love fishing that pond and havent been this year. My last outing was comprised of this out there. largies, smallies and walters to say the least.

Heres one that I posted a little while back, not to far from lake O(in a trib). I have lost another ski in open lake O not too far from shore, not too long ago, that was a fluke incident. The crank bait is 4 1/4 inchs long, the ski was just under the surface. No need to do the math, because it was huge

good luck out there, the bass were big last year, no pike for myself. But had a few eyes follow as well. Good luck, want to see a report, thats all.

The smiles on the young ones faces is all that needed for a great day out. Yes the bonus was it was calm as can be on the water

The three we brought home, many knock offs and a breakoffs as well today. Im happy to say the least.

What a great day out on the water today, calm winds no waves made an enjoyable ride out for me and my darlings today. Starting off for the long weekend on the water I couldnt ask for anything more. esp meeting up with a friend and his boy out there We started out at 90fow 2 lead cores and 2 on on the riggers, right away the rods are dancing Then when reeling in nothing was to show for blasted fish At this point it happened 4 times and I promised my gals fish, yes fish for them to land Rod went up and guess what, I turned to my youngest and said reel it in Again another rod goes off, if passed it off to my oldest , she faught and faught only to lose it to the side of the boat, oh well. things happen. We eventually managed to hook 2 more that were landed afterwards. Nothing spectacular but they all faught with a fury My Girls included What a great start to the weekend, everyone catching fish etc, and esp seeing spincast and gman out there on the water

Nice first bow

And let the fist fights begin at the one you didnt mention Roy Just for the heck of it, I may go down to flyfish for the last time with a rod im giving to a young lad soon. That sure will baffle a few Using marshmellows and ear plugs on the hook

Ok spongebob, the recipe better be safe in your hands. If not I may have to slap you one across the face with it. lol with the real one

What no nemo rods in hand, what the heck Dan That sounds like an awsome day with dan in the boat Simon you keep those spoons vewy, vewy quite, Or Its gonna be wabbit season vewy soon Maybe not jk

To add to dans point, watch for darting lines heading towards your boat. And listen to all the screaming from shore. Thats why I like spoonchucking when every one is at work When the regular gents and relaxed folks are there.

Pat There are two Dans that work the counter. One is yourger the other is older. I like the younger one, hes more energetic to please the customers at the counter or over the phone. All I do is say its Vince over thew phone and wham, they are on top of it

Out of curiosity, what # line are you guys using as your main line? I like the 8# line. Last year I switched to the raven line, havent had too many issues but I feel its a little limpy for my likings. Mind you I havent soaked it in warm water and it hasnt broken on me on a hook set.

Across the street theres an inn with a restaurant, from what I remember. If its the same owners that I spoke to way back when. Its worth a shot to ask them. They were very polite and helpfull to me. I recall a floating dock as well. I never did fish that lake, but I did go to another just north of it The Bass fishing was fantastic. Pm me for info if you like
