Good one

Well this has been a real treat. My confidence in these lure has sky rocketed. I plan on fishing them this weekend and during the week for Pike.I also plan on picking up some different colors too. Most of what i have are lighter colors like white/white. white/chartreuse. white/orange, with gold or silver willows. Thanks to all who contributed

Damn nice setup Pete.

Take an electric drill and a brass wire brush bit, and clean out the post hole. The brass brush should remove any burrs on the aluminum housing.

I agree with going the used route.I am like you, just getting into it, and i got myself pretty well set up by buying used.Everything from rod to reel to musky lures, were all purchased used, for a fraction of the cost of new. Goof luck and remember to show us your first. Paul

No thats deer hunting.I could tell you a story about my italian friend takeing me deer hunting in Rawdon Que.But not on the forum though.

Awesom as always Larry

Speak with the Doc also Phil.Having dealt with this type os illness before, they will probably have all kinds of info available to help in your search.

This is cool I can remember fishing with dad.Sometimes we would not be getting hits, and he would throw me a beetle spin or a chunk of plastic worm''Try adding This to your bait'' and we would hammer them for the rest of the day. I guess all it takes is to have the presence of mind, to try something even if it looks strange to you.

Beetles spins. Man i remember fishing with those as a kid.We would catch anything on those with a big hunk of worm on the hook. Do they still make them?

Great report Bud You just boosted my confidence in the lowly spinnerbait.Great looking fish.

Fantastic !!! Now i am stoked to use mine. I found a black/chartreuse chatterbait i bought last year.Amazing what i own that i have never fished with.

Its amazing what you can find when you use PIGS as a search word. I had to take another peek at these porkers

You need to clean your brain files out Bob

Talked to a few locals here too.One guy i will be fishing with next wednesday, hammered 60 nice Pike on sunday using Spinner baits and spoons. Spoons are another lure i havent fished in ages. Goes to show you, sometimes its the simplest things that catch more fish.

Keep'em comin boyz!!!

Great info guys Thanks a ton. Now i'm pumped to get out there and use 'em.

Corn or cornmeal. Americains call it Grits because of the texture.

Musta been a good year. Takes alot of fish slime to cause a build up like that

Great I picked up about a dozen of the in various weights and colors at Sail last week.Terminators. They were on special during the no tax sale. I have seen them in action,just never had a reason to use them before. Now i want to try something new to me.

I truly believe it is lack of education. Many of these "ethnic" anglers, do not understand english enough to read the regs, or get a licence. The education should come from inside thier community. If we take the time to show them in a way they can understand, hopefully they will stop this type of fishing practices.

I have recently gotten interested in Spinner Baits. They seem to be a very versatile lure that can be used to catch a number of species of the fish i target. I have a 7foot medium light rod with a 6.4:1 baitcaster that i will be using. Is braid an acceptable line when using a spinnerbait? What are some of the technics that i should be useing, or is it just cast and burn the retrieve? Can i add a piece of worm or a tube to the hook? Teach me oh wise Spinner Baiters What are some of your most successful techniques? Thanks Paul

About bloody time you showed up. I been getting blasted in here waiting for you to show up .....you get first viewing of the next pike i catch.Goin' bare back.

Nice !!! Just be happy that you have found the perfect fishing partner T.J. !

Ok Ok !!!No more gloves....I was just thinking of the fish.
