Heads or Tails ?

I have really experienced the need for a rear caasting deck in my boat when fishing with friends.The angler in the rear either stands in the bottom of the boat, or perches precariously on the side benches. So today, i took some measurements, made a quick materials list and headed out find what i needed.It was meant to be.Got to the lumber store, and they had 1 piece of 3/4 inch plywood 48 x 24 inches left in stock Went to the marine store and they had 1 seat post socket, and just enough Princecraft carpet left to do the job. Talk about my lucky day Here is the result. It is solidly installed, but easily removed if i want to reconfigure the seating. Took 3 hours from start to finish. Thanks for looking

I think its more of a confidence thing with me.My only experience trolling Musky is on the St Lawerence.Fast current, lots of weed mats floating in the current,snags and zebra muscles.If i lose a lure casting, i will switch

80lb on my casting combo, 100 lb on my trolling combo.

Now thats what i call a vacation!! Thanks for giving us a look.

Quite a few years ago, i used to Hunt.I was deer hunting in Rawdon Quebec, just north east of Montreal, with a firend.We slit up at a fork in the trail around 3PM.I was walking quietly through the fallen leaves, and decided to take a quick pee break. I engaged the safety on my browning, and lay it on the ground and prepared to relieve myself. I stood there enjoying the feeling of solitude, when i felt watched.I very slowly turned my head to peek behind me, and when i did, i almost fainted. No more than 20 feet from me, and standing on the trail in plain view, was a huge,fully antlered Bull Moose.It was so close i could smell it and here its breathing.I have no idea how it got so close without me seeing or hearing it. After what seemed like an hour, it grunted, and turned its back to me and trotted off into the bush.I then realized that i had peed on my boots and gun.

I'm kinda an organization nut.I keep my lures seperated into species categories, so when i am planning a fishing day, i always know what i will be fishing for, and bring the lures necessary for the species. I try to stock tried and true colors,and never buy anything just cause it looks cool.I have one tray of plastic worms/powerbaits, and one tray of tubes/grubs.I reserve one slot in each box to keep the hooks/weights. Its really surprising how little you need to bring if you decide what you are targeting before you leave, and research the colors and patterns that are successful on the body of water you will be fishing on.

Great reprot Simon!!! Nice to see Albert with a fish in his hands

I still say

This is a great idea Brian For the new guys and the old timers who dont know me. My name is Paul. I am originally from Ottawa, but have lived most of my adult life in Montreal.
