Its more about strenght then direction. Big waves stirs it up and what gets stirred up in Erie comes down the Niagara. Check out coastwatch imagery, if you see brown where Niagara meets Ontario then its pretty much shot.

After some more research I believe it is an Apache generator. Any dealers around selling these? I fired off an email to Apache in Texas but no response.

Never leave the dock without checking the fuel. The one time i forgot was not a good day.

Does anybody know of a dealer that sells these generators in Ontario? A friend of mine needs some parts but cannot find anything anywhere. He bought this thing in Mississauga about 5 or 6 years ago but the store he got it from no longer exists. I tried contacting the manufacturer to no avail. He kept asking what name brand it is. The only sticker on it says Koop. He tells me impossible we don't sell them under the name Koop, whats the name brand? After about 10 emails back and forth I gave up on him. All I want to know is where can I get parts. Unbelievable that the manufacturer cannot tell me where in Canada I can get parts and or service. Ok I think I got it off my chest. Anybody know of a dealer that services theses machines? Thanks.

I agree I run em all at 18"

Nice Fish!

Going to have a hard time making friends here with comments like that. Stay safe.

HahahahahahahHhHha Funny you should say that. Last summer at angling outfitters I picked up a new fly reel. Josh had it marked down from $150 to $99. I bought it and asked him to put a $49.99 sticker on it for me. He laughed when I told him the wife would be happy that I got what I wanted for less then half of what I was willing to spend. Let's just say we were both full of "happiness" that day.

True.......BUT my happiness quickly turns into sorrow when she finds out how much happiness I bought.

I find it hard to protect the Brook trout if they are not native. Id hate to see them removed, but if there presence is having an effect on the natives, then I would say there time is up.

Thanks....I tried that before I made this post. Lots of places listed there but no info about them. Would like to find a hall with a shuffleboard table, these can be hard to come across. Just hoping someone here may know of one.

Ill be up at the top of Red Hill Valley But anywhere in the area is good enough for me.

Anyone know the Hamilton area well enough to point me towards a decent pool hall/sports bar? Ill be in the area on the weekend to please the wife visiting her sister so I wanna take off with my brother in law and shoot some pool or something. Shuffelboard table would be good too. Thanks Guys.

Nice trip....I lived in the Sault for a couple years and I am still kickin myself for not taking the train tour. Looks like you had a god time.

Speechless.

It doesn't. I find it feels like setting the hook with a 3 way swivel set up, feels kind of soft. Hook slides down and locks up against the weight. The time between the snap of the rod for the hook set and the hook sliding down to engage the sinker could only be measured by NASA. Just a nice sweeping hook set seems to do the trick. Just something I've be experimenting with, thought Id throw it out there. Maybe someone else will try it and like it. Remember...we're all in this together.

Great report, great pics, great story. Congrats on the season so far, keep it up.

I mainly river fish and drop shot for smallies. Favorite bait has been gulp shiners 3", and berkley realistic shiners 3". Had great success with both. This year I started using the gulp 4" crawler and they have been fantastic. Hard to say which I prefer. I like to use at least a 7' rod, nothing in particular, but if your budget fishing like me the standard 6'6" will get you by. I find it a bit difficult when you get snagged up when drifting current brakes with a shorter rod. Defiantly floro leader though. I run 10lb power pro main line and 8lb floro lead. i try to keep 12" of floro above the hook. This year I started using a bit of float gear on the drop shot and its been working out pretty good. I will tie a small barrel swivel to the main line to take up the twist. Slide the the leader through the eye of the hook but don't tie it. I will then slide a small plastic bead, then a bobber stopper, then another plastic bead. Now its time for the pencil lead, or what ever weight you prefer. the bobber stopper allows for height adjustment without having to cut and retie. Every time you hook up the fish will pull the hook down to the lead, so after removing the fish just slide the bobber stopper and the hook back up to where you want it. This also allows the bait to move around a bit more. I've been in some situations where the current or wind was pushing around to much and the hook would be up at the swivel, in this case I added a bead and bobber stopper above the hook as well to hold it in place.

I agree, not as good as I expected. I was hoping the show was going to have a little more then just tugs and barges in Michigan. Would be nice to see some footage from the canal pilots or fishing tugs in Erie, even some of the construction project out in the lakes. See how it goes, for now Im still watching.

Thanks Marty, we r on the north channel near green bay. Times seem pretty tought right now, even the local guy next door hasn't been catching anything lately. Good thing we brought lots of beer to pass the time. We still got a few more days here before we head back home so hopefully things will turn on before we go. Managed a few little bass on leeches and crawlers last night. Not sure what we r trying tonight.

From what I've hers it's normal.

Thank for The report. Just about ready to Go out for another session. Tonight's ammo will be leaches and worms. Think we r gonna run around 30 to 40 fow tonight.
