WTG to both of you Cliff and Carole... great way to spend a couple hours on a monday night

Best of luck finding everything intact and where you left it in the car.

I got two 6501's for the sale price of 74.99 . These were the last two reels they had (they didnt have any righties ) thats why I bought them I had gone in to get the hut and came out with the auger in stead and when I saw the sign in the reel case I grabbed the two reels allso lol NO hut tho they didnt have any left lol Was wierd tho I had to have the manager walk the reels up to the cash ??? dont know why this , they let me carry the 265 dollar auger but not the reels , never bought a reel from CTC before the guy said this was store policy or something wierd????

Yea it is funny... I they lock up anything in teh cases with padlocks and bags... funny how tehy have to lock a slingshot band and small multitools or knives but if you go down to the camping section or tools you can get a machete, or sledge hammer, axe with no problems... ohh well Store policy was their answer to me aswell...

Right handed, spinning reels have ALWAYS have the handle on the left, I can cope with both right or left hand retrieve with baitcasters but can only do right retrieve when casting alot... As for fly fishing which was not asked, It is always cast with the right retrieve with the left...so left hand side has the handle...

I can't believe I never saw an OFC shirt/hat in 2 days at the show + this afternoon at Bass Pro!

 

Cory, try a weekday next year. I was there on Wed aft by myself, and again on Sat to show Hubby around...absolute night and day.

 

Wed was beautiful - tons of room, everyone fresh and rested, nice clean water in the tank. Parking spots galore, got a great spot in the underground on my first pass - and nobody even near me. Enjoyed myself, left the event relaxed and smiling.

 

Satuday was the complete opposite. Everybody seemed tired and frazzled. The tank looked like it was full of yellow vaseline. We spent a solid 1/2 hour in just ONE traffic jam. By the time we got outta there, Jeff looked about as happy and relaxed as a wet soapy cat.

 

Weekdays. You may not get the "we'd rather sell it than pack it" deals, but you won't need therapy after, either.

Yup, thats exactly the way I saw it I went Wed/Sunday and feel the same way although there were a few things that had up to $500 knocked off the price at the show, being the pontoon I wanted... guess I am still waiting though... Got teh contacts I think I need and lots of info and lures, so good to go!

Heres to hoping for a quick recovery and that ya get back on her and hear her purring just like before

Yeah! Norton SUCKS! lol slows my comp down way too much

WTG on the PB Cliff... I hope to get douG on his first steelie, by the way... your not supposed to be the host and catch all the fish... supposed to skunk yourself so the other doesn't feel so bad Glad to hear ya all enjoyed yourselves...

Yup, the wilmot club was the one I was thinking of...

ahhh...I know of one out East in Oshawa area.. PM me if you want the name...

This here is a good "Club" some one else may be able to help ya more but if you are a contributing member, and respectful mosy people don't mind giving you pointers... To be honest though, on nearly every river you can find some good water farther up or in tributaries to the river... EXPLORE, its fun and its probably the best way to get info. Good luck on your quest

With a welcoming like that I guess he won't be participating this forum anymore.

I'll be honest... If someone just wants people to see their site and get advertising talk to TJ and become a sponsor of the board.. otherwise First posts shouldn't be plugs to your site... I agree with ya Wayne.... Maybe removing your link would be a good first step BTW...

I Grabbed myself the C3, had no plans to do so but I "needed it" cost was 74.99 , half price from $149.99 Good deal, I think

Have a good one Glen, all the best to you on this day, and may you have man more in health and happiness

Yup the Garmin GPSMAP 76 is on sale fo 197.99 too for anyone looking! Wish they had the colour one, dang

Mind you many of the creeks are closed North of Hwy 2, especially in around here... Don't know when the piers will, and surroundings will start getting busy. Like Cliff said, most of everything will be frozen... Cooks is a great option to sit throw your bait in and wait, by the way

WTG Carole... How'd you do tonight Cliff ? The teasing begins. Glad to hear ya both got to get out onto the river

Way to go on the report, some awesome fish and pics you have. Welcome to the board!

Well he put (NF-Non fishing) and not everything on the community always relates to fishing...but yes it is a fishing board to answer your question

Cooks Bay for Perch can be a real good time... The end of Gilford road off #89... should be lots of open holes I would imagine Good luck to ya

There aren't any! What would mak a good show? How about starting off the show with "It took 50 hrs. of hard fishing to make this 20 mins. worth of tape!" The show would also need to be taped on public water, not "no name" private lake with the fish stacked up like cord wood... "and today our guide is..." doesn't cut it either, get your ass out there and find your own fish for a change!!!

 

How about a show that is aired in the same year it was shot in??? All the shows being aired now were shot in 07... old hat and boring if you ask me.

Same as what Glen said but add in there one where fish were not snagged or illegally caught as well as sitting in a livewell all day or for a couple days

yup sandbanks is pretty darn nice... some good fishing to be had on both sides in E. and W. Lake... Walleye, Pike and Bass

Thanks for that Joe!

I knew I should of ordered some earlier.

I know eh... They ran out of hats and Sz L or Xl shirts at the BOQ G2G... Might have to take a peek at the site now, even though it is late...

Heck I never knew it and I took YD just over a year ago and there was no mention of it... I know I dont have $490 in my pocket... Thanks Mike
