Fishing world has them and you can order them off there web site. There is the Helly Hanson Delta and Alphas. We also carry Striker and Arctic Armor flotation suit.

I have fished with the Aetos rods, they are a nice rod. However for a bit more money you can get a G.Loomis GL2. It is a much nice rod and has a far better warranty. Just something to look into.

I see this all the time at work. Most likely it wasn't anything wrong with the reel. Just that there wasn't any mono put on the reel before the braid.

Yep. I have had 3 heart surgeries and two on my hand. All which were free.

Canada and The United States are more similar than we think, I do somewhat agree with your statement... However, when was the last time something like this happened in Canada?

Also - How easy is it to obtain hand guns and automatic assault rifles in Canada? In some parts in the States, it's as easy as showing them a drivers licence. Although we are very similar in some cultural aspects, the differences in gun legislation is the key difference maker imo.

It is very easy to get hand guns and assault rifles in Canada and all legit over the counter. As long as the assault rifle is Semi-Automatic. Not very hard to get at all. Just thought I would throw that out there for you.

Awesome report Mike. You sure do make the reports feel like you were there while reading.

Thanks from sharing. Looks like a nice place to go as well. I am sure my wife would like that kind of trip.

Hey, thanks guys. Mike was good seeing you as well, I am sure we will be seeing more of another over the next while.

Thanks Mike Borger I appreciate it. We will have to get out fishing soon.

All I can think about is Musky now. It is that time of year again, where Bass and Salmon aren’t high on my list. Nothing hammers your lure like a big musky. To the point it startles you when they smash it. Or seeing the monster follow up and attack your lure. I have been using Handlebarz double 10’s %95 of my last two trips. They are amazing, they make their lures with care and quality parts. I haven’t fished a double 10 nearly as nice. They also have pulled in lots of big fish and always get action

.

I hit Lake St. Clair twice this week with my friend and it was a blast. We landed 5 musky in the two days and lost 6. Had more hits and follows then I can remember. Both of us got a fish on figure 8’s and all we do are cast. We got 2, 40” musky and 3, 50’+. We also both got our PB. Enough reading here are some pictures.

40”

The 50” +

The new Chronarch Ci4 looks to be a awesome reel, as does the new Ci4 spinning reel which will now have Xship.

Shasta there is actually a nest that is up near Mclung Rd. Just up from York. As well there are couple along Erie. I seen one this weekend as well flying around and that ate a bass I believe. Have also watched them feed out back of my parents a lot. My old man watched one attack a duck.

I have braid

How do you fix line slipping?

If you don't have any mono backing behind the braided line, it will spin on the spool.

Well as usual Mike another amazing report. Glad you guys were able to make a trip happen.

Have a good trip this week.

Sounds like you had a awesome trip. Some beauty fish and the food looks tasty as well haha.

Thanks for sharing Bill.

Thanks guys.

I can say that with out the help I received I wouldn't have hooked near the fish I did.

Thanks all.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. It was a blast out there this season. As soon as the crowds finish with Salmon I will be out again all winter.

Chris, lol. I got rid of the glasses about a week after getting them haha. After I dropped my Revo's in the river I needed a pair bad and they were all I could find for the next day haha.

Brian, we wll have to get out this fall.

Well, it has past and I am sad to see it go. Feels like yesterday I was catching fresh fall chrome. I cant say I was addicted to steelhead fishing until this fall. I had a blast on a trip with Mike last spring which did keep me interested. Then my friend Josh harassed me enough, I gave in and went with him. I picked up my first float combo, a cheap one but good enough to get me hooked.

Well the first fish I hooked on the float was enough to for me to know I was going to like it. Surprisingly I landed it and it was a half decent chrome hen.

Well I ended up hooking into one more that afternoon and it broke me off. That day truly was enough for me to become addicted to float fishing and steelhead.

I fished a ton this season. Over a hundred days on the river easy from fall to spring, my longest streak was like 15 days straight on the river and I loved every moment of it. The coldest day I fished was -22 with the windchill, it sucked but we caught fish and that was worth it. I couldn’t truly count how many I hooked or landed but in my eyes it was good.

On top of the addiction of float fishing, was the gear addiction. After fishing with Mike and him kindly letting me use his higher end gear and try it out. It wasn’t long before I was building my first custom float rod.

I had Chris build me a rod before and I loved it. I wanted to try and build one myself. I asked Chris and I got a lot more then I could have imagined in return. Not only Chris was going to help me but I could build it at his place with his tools and one on one lessons, you could say. I couldn’t thank him enough and still cant.

Well here are some fish from this season.

Thanks Mike, Chris and Josh. You guys helped make my season that much better.

Now that the float fishing is done it is time for Lake Ontario trolling until musky opener. A good start to the season on Lake Ontario as well. First fish in the boat was my first Atlantic Salmon.

Oh I almost forgot. This is my PB steelhead.

Hope you enjoy.

Chris

I dropshot a ton out on Erie. The majority of the time I am dropshotting, the VMC hooks are awesome. I haven't had any problems or complaints at all.

I cant wait, I will be on St. Clair for opener.

Those are some unreal shots.

Here is mine.

Call Sterling Pools in Peterborough, I worked there for years. Rather then me tell ya what you need to know call them, ask for Fred. He can set you up with everything you need and get you the parts if theyes are around. I have seen that often though and usually find a replacement no problem.

Spiel, hands down is the man to speak with. His work is always amazing.

Was a great show that's for sure. Stopped at Mike's booth first to say hi and chat with him for a bit as well slowpoke. Picked up some of the Handlebarz shirts and a few double 10's.

Looked around and grabbed a few other things.

I will be there as well. Mike I will be stopping by your booth first, need my shirts and need some more double 10's.

I know a guy that gets that and he got some soft plastic that's leafs lol. At least it looks like that haha. As others said. I would rather know what I am getting and get what I want.
