Use a 3/8oz keel sinker with a snap on it and cast them

Spinners are deadly effective when casting. I dont even troll them anymore

 

Cool

 

 

Both my son and daughter are now in a race with each other to be first to get a masters...kinda nice contest

Hahaha thats awesome!!!

 

 

you have picky fish up there

Nope not at all, just have a bunch of bulk black beads and a confidence bait lol

Its nw ontario man, fish will eat anything up here lol

 

Try adding one red bead at the top

Oh I have lol. Anyone that makes their own spinners has likely tried every variation from lines to hooks to beads to clevises to blades hahahaha

All black for for me. And I dont use plastic beads I use glass beads

I get to brag now too.

My son just got a degree in environmental science..he was one of them that took a while deciding as he is 26 now.

He was offered a masters program in geo chemistry..this is a kid that got through high school with 50

's

His thesis is being published.

 

He just worked for and accepted a job in the Yukon doing this

Nice!!!! My niece just graduated in BC with a degree in enviromental science too!

Awesome job Dad!

You too Dan!!! Thats so cool to hear your kids are killin it!

I'm not a skid by any means. I listen to all kinds of music, play all kinds, and sing all kinds. Just no hip hop or rap....same stuff to me. No offense, listen to what you like, I don't judge.

 

S.

I wasnt judging, just taking a crack atcha?

I rocked Ministry hard in my youth. Perhaps Ill relisten tonight, its been along time

I had to laugh at all my buddies assuming the leafs make the playoffs next year because we got 1st pick hahaha.

Its great, dont get me wrong. But unless some miracle happens we are still 3-4 years away IMO and thats IF management keeps making sound decisions and the coaching stays positive

Get outta here skidders???

Silver hammered colorado blades with red beads has caught me every kind of fish that swims. I hardly every use any other colour. Might switch to a gold blade if silver isn't working, or a chartreuse if the water is dirty.

 

S.

I use hammered copper and black beads(90%of the time)

Works even in muddy water

About time!

Even bigger news, edmonton picks 4th lol

I only use single hook so palomar suffices.

You got that right. Diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, bladder control issues to name a few. But I sleep like a baby, I wake up every 2 hours crying.

??? (but not really)

 

Just starting to use the Palomar, and love it. Simple, strong, and effective, with 100% strength.

Yessir! I did a bunch about 3 years ago and it certainly is easier and its effective.

But snelling is fun! Just not out in the boat in wind lol

A dab of gorilla glue solves the issue quick

You can also get alot of wild action on plastics if you just use a palomar knot

Trolling cranks in 4-6 fow on mudflats is a blast!

3rd week in may up here

Looks good brian!

Ive already tied a summers worth this winter.

All mine a single colorado blades

Some I paint myself with nailpolish lol.

Nice! Thanks for sharing!!!

This thread makes me very happy I live in NW ontario.

This is silly.

If you are a legal immigrant and work hard, why is that anything to hate on?

if another citzen of canada takes my job because he works harder,or is more experienced than I, thats on me, not him.

I could barely keep up with 3 guys I worked with last year, they were from africa. Awesome guys! Still in touch with them today! Basically we challenged each other and both sides learned alot! There wasnt one day in the first two weeks where some jack called them the n word, and theyd just smile and laugh it off.

After everyone got to know them totally different story.

I miss workin with those guys but they are comin back on this project and I cant wait! Oh and african food is the bomb??

MB, I know the mines are better for employment, but you have huge populations centres without gainful employment.

 

My father, after of yesterday, has been laid off for 8 to 10 weeks.

 

He makes <$20 / hour.

 

Has been a licensed industrial electrician for 30 years.

 

Figure that one out.

Ive been down that road

To OIs point thats why I wont buy a house. Just in case the mine here dies or im layed off I can move or work elsewhere.

To grimsby, aint that the truth.

Thats why I like the idea of heavy duty equipment operator. You really can work almost anywhere

And like I said previously, I believe EI does cover the 6 week course

And in most cases, its the easiest of high paying jobs at mine sites, solar fields etc

Dara, if I understand you correctly, the township put in a public boat launch, but then didn't provide parking?

 

That is poor planning on the munipalities part.

Yeah Ill say! Doh

 

i might be taking your comment wrong now...but in no way am i bashing on the trades, as anyone with their ticket easily makes way more money than me. Hence why i wish I went into them myself!

 

I still might if the cards work out right, but the 1st and second year as an apprentice would be rough, after that totally smooth sailing.

Lotsa trades are high paying off the start. Like an electrition for example. You start working and attend school for 2 months after working a set amount of hours.

I work with like 20 apprentice electritians at the mine, and they make BUCKS!

 

We had the best shop classes anywhere @ my high school.

There was an electrical/electronics shop, wood shop, drafting, metal/machine/welding shop and a 4 bay auto shop.

It was totally kick donkey!!!!

Man I wish!

I did basic electrical, then I got to make a short film, then learned how to use a camera and develope photos

Oh and made a birdhouse too lol
