Yes, thanks for sharing looks like a fun trip

Manitou: I have seen just about all of your posts the past while, and all are incredible. I think the reason is some ppl here are getting tired with every other post not related to anything. Generally I remember when a post like yours received comments out the wazzzooo , thus making some of us alternate comments on threads. But now, seems like many have taken that approach, and comments aren't coming. Some people have or are in transition of moving on to different online communities also.... I enjoy your posts and everybody else's for that matter fishing related. It takes a lot of time , and you're proud to share your findings. But now it's like sharing money with an affluenza teen. I have noticed fishing everything seems to be slower , including selling. Like a complete ghost town. I felt the market has died , wonder if it's the same for everything else, flu shot or... * thoughts of conspiracy*. Regardless of if people actually respond, the amount of views posters receive should make them feel some sort of comfort (I do all my OFC on iPhone so it doesn't show me views tho, so I'm assuming that function still exists). Anyhow manitou, you are not alone and many people have felt what you feel. Great posts bud!

Sorry I disagree with many here, barbs exponentially increase your chance of landing your catch, especially when they run towards the boat. Yes yes keep tension on it and your good...I lost a few of my biggest fish on barbless, never ever again (unless it's law). When u hook up with a biggun it's exciting and mistakes (even if minute)are made.

A rapala concept ti Rod is incredible...I had a shift and r type they were good rods for sure no complaints

You really dialed in those lakers bud!! Dang... Always good reports. So I guess I smell a trout fisherman in the making.....it's good that u can switch between so many species at ur place it makes it fun!

I'm glad a few others piped in here before I had the guts to.....21k/ per sounds a little high id say

Fallfish

I'm surprised there aren't more drowning in the upper niagara drift swimming and all. Very sad news indeed.

Man look at all of those fishies. Great report! That dogfish probably fought like crazy too! Fish definitely aren't in their normal milk run spots for me this year that's for sure ...

It's pretty much $30 to diagnose and fix an easy issue on a reel. On a cheaper reel, it's very hard to diagnose what the symptom is without seeing it. Does it tick with the spool off reeling in fast with no tension? Bearings can tick hardcore if the reels have tweaked out of alignment too.... Honestly tho u should buy a new reel(s) that are meant to come apart and be serviced annually. Great examples include saros and up quality. Sienna to Symetre is good, but I've noticed weird qc issues below saros (more so on avg then saros and up models). Kick it to the curb and give it to guests who don't know what's good

How big was the gar? Did he release it (obviously thinking it was a long nose ), or did he send it in for analysis ?

I have no issues with live target. Some don't like being used with a snap but I really like some of their baits Muskoka CT had them from $4.99-8.99 on sale select versions

That's a fish that would prefer eating a popcan or piece of rope to normal forage....don't see it tasting good, but it would definitely like the taste of you...

Nice outing looks like everyone had a great time! Did u notice an increase in hookup after the doctored paint job ?

Every report you have is super in depth and is always chalked full of pigs. Good job, and it's good to see how happy your family is in that boat you guys built. Great report and I'm glad everybody got their share of monsters. Long live bass opener!

I think they might have that pultruded transom which was supposed to be bulletproof. Good on them for following through regardless ...that's what u want when u pay a premium for a boat even buying used. "Oh u didn't buy it directly new from us? Can't help you" only hurts them in the long run.

Water in the tanks? Both of them?...and nobody else has issues with their vehicles who filled up from the same place???

Had this kinda thing happen to my VW after the ice storm. Started it, it was shaking like it was misfiring and immediately check engine light came on. I first assumed fuel line was still frozen , or something to do with water intrusion as there was a lot of rain that turned to ice then quick melt. Has been running fine since. I'm hoping u just need your computer flashed and let her dry out. Seems weird both cars were affected. My guess is ignition coil something .. I'm not a mechanic

Super awesome setup but dayum look at all that empty wall space...the thousand rods you have in the corner called me to tell you they want to be on a Rod holder(s)....especially that one bent like a cross-bow

Yep. This holds true. There ways around it sometimes, not always. If you are fishing xraps spinners etc in grand, but also want something beauty for everything...a proper medium/fast anywhere from 6'4-7'2 will work, and they pop up often. Heck, buy a used or new cheaper ml rod and a medium, and see which u use most, then sell the other/uupgrade accordingly. I will point out that a ballistic will drop in $$ on resale incase u dont like it....hard.

You will get your first taste of import/brokerage fees Buy a better used rod locally, for less. Or buy from natural, fishing world or get one of the many rods sail pretty much gives.away between now and spring

Le baron has it for $294

Man thats garbage

Beauty report man..

Those are the new drones that deliver pizza, thats all.
