Sweet fish mike! Way to go! Some gorgeous colora on a few of those fish!!!

This thread is hilarious! Thanks!!!!

Tourny worms lol natural color with red fleck

Yep, the black silver are yum, the more natural color are mayzuo purny worms

Oh and I strongly prefer northland tackle shakey head jigs

I like using your typical cigar style worms in black/silver or a natural colour. I like to trim off an inch or so making it around 4" for bass or about 3.5" for walleye. For bass ill use this technique around deadheads or on/around reefs, 12-25 fow. Usually use 8lb fluoro on a 6'6 or 6'8 med rod with a spinning reel. Get my bait to where i want it, hold the rod tip at 11 o'clock and just gently shake the rod tip, stop, repeat and then occasionally pop it up a good foot or so. Walleye is about the same but only right at pre spawn or fall

I go through phases lol. More often than not im using no leader, and very rarely have issues. And there is some real toothy monsters in my home waters. Im typically fishing 15-20 lb suffix 832 or pp. when the bite is on i dont care about colour either. With that being said, if im not getting bit i go to a leader of about 16-18". Nothing heavy or fancy, just 8-10lb fluoro tied to a good barrel swivel. At times it does make a difference in my experiences

Great gesture! Hit me up a lil more info and in the next two weeks i can donate some line.

There late this year up my way. Ill take the massive hatches of mayflies any day over a massive hatch of army worms

Great fish!!!! Congrats

Awesome pics and great first experience! Almost seems odd to me cause in nw ontario eagles are everywhere! Beautiful birds though, thats for sure!!!

IMO leafs should def try to sign bozack for 5. A big name would be nice too but im not convinced its needed. Last year was a great year and showed a ton of promise. If the leafs need to improve anywhere my focus would be the defense

 

That's awesome!! Your lucky up there that lake front property isn't basically a financial suicide! Even in and around North Bay if you want property on a decent lake (not a swamp), the prices and taxes are way inflated. Hope your dock will be located right near a shoal/dropoff! haha

Stoked for ya chad!!!! Im currently searching myself to build next year, on a lake with trophy lakers, musky, pike, walleye and tons of panfish! Getting all our maps this week and scouting next week. Even the thought of scouting land has me more than amped!!!

No doubt Roy. Another bad scenario I've encountered is having a well planned family/friend camping trip, only to have a guest bring enough food for a day or two, but enough booze to warrant an extra boat trip. Grrrrr....

"I've got no problem paying for gas and minnows, but ill have to pay you back later, i forgot my wallet". 2 hours into the road trip.

Awesome!!! Wicked fish and looks like a great time!!!

Thanks guys ! He was almost as proud of that fish as i was of him! Ccmt, he already has a few spinning outfits, but he always asks to bring that lil spin cast lol. I should also mention he picked the bait, a simple Texas rigged worm with no weight, with 50km/h winds blowing right into our faces lol. The water was so stirred up i doubted we'd catch anything. Guess he proved me wrong!!!!

with 4lb mono, and my youngest boy nails a 20" smallie like a boss!

Wicked good fathers day!

Yeah that's why I never mentioned a name, duh, lol. I told them you said hello!

Good on ya Rick

I think I know who you mean...but would lose my job if I mention names....so just say hi to anyone who says they know me.

Time for me to lead by example Simon. I just interviewed for suboxone treatment trainee one of the girls involved told me she met you a few months back, pretty cool if ya ask me

Thanks for all the replies folks

 

WTG Rick!

Time for me to put on my big boy undies and become a quitter.

 

I always hated smoking. Made fun of all my friends etc that smoked...

 

Then, being the genius that I am, decided to light up at the early age of 25 (I'm now 33).

 

The second worst decision I've made in my life.

oh and congrats to all of you who quit smoking, drugs and or alcohol. Very admirable
