Leafs had a rough game too. Especially franson, too soft, too many giveaways

What's going on with Queen Henrik, rangers have looked awful. Silfverberg has been good so far.

Reimer letting in soft goals

Did anyone see grabo? 3 goals 1 assist

Lol survey which means nothing. Ottawa cant even fill their own building. More leaf/habs fans than the senoritas.

I was out Sunday during the cold front. We boated over 50 bass/pike. Ill shoot you a pm when i come back tomorrow evening.

I like my 401D, used it the past weekend. Ive heard that the 300 sized gears will make it a bit better with blades.

Cool shot of the rig from the water

The other, is a friend whom i introduced to fishing. He now owns his own tackle and gear and loves getting out.

Boat/Truck. Love the boat, but already want a bigger boat, have a 21 glass boat in mind when i finally finish uni in the next 2 years.

Brother with a small ski, im pretty sure everyone can guess that spot.

Brother with the WGSF, wouldnt be a complete report without it

That's funny - I fished the same bodies of water recently, with the addition of balsam. Didn't do to well on Gbay tho, one follow in 2.5 days. Guess that's what it's all about. Just accidental pike and a nice walleye but no musky to be found. I really liked Restoule and Stormy being my first time up there. Got into a few there... and I lost what felt like a pig on Stormy, I did a no-mans cast and it hit a bulldawg in 40 feet. Nice lakes.

Its a nice PP. If your new there, you may struggle to catch at first. I strictly fish stormy/clear when im up there. Gbay, anywhere in honey harbour will net you tons of pike and small bass, the big ones are hit and miss.

Off course photobucket goes down when i tried to add more photos. Ah well, ill try to get back to them later. Thanks for reading.

Spent some time at restoule p.p. Heres two nice smallies caught minutes apart, one over 5, one under.

My dads, heavier but measured an inch shorter at 20".

The smallmouth fishing was excellent as usual. You could catch tons pretty much anywhere on the lake. Only managed three musky, two off topwater. All were around 10lbs. Lost a big one which hit my lipless crank, boat side he shook it off. Too bad i didn't have my new Frabill Big Game net!!!

Labour day weekend, we hit Pigeon Lake. 5 muskies between me and my brother. Nothing of size. But fun nonetheless. All came off spinnerbaits fishing for bass off points in the north and casting in weeds in the southern portion. We surprisingly did very well with walleye. Managed around a dozen off lipless cranks near the islands in the north and gagnon narrows. All were within the slot/released as i dont keep any catch.

Last week we hit Gbay. Stupid amount of 1-2lb largies and hammer handles. Almost got sick of landing them lol. Cranks and spinnerbaits in 8-12 ft of water caught most. Brought out the new Calcutta D to toss around some double tens. Of course the only time i forget to figure 8, a musky is waiting boatside.. common occurrence with me. Was a odd day, lots of bigger pike would chase lures but not hit ~10-15lbs.

Tried for some smallmouth in deeper water. Managed a few 3-4lbs. Catches were spaced out, couldn't find any bigger schools yet.

I did see a nice sized sturgeon, sunbathing in the shallows. I tried to take a picture, but of course my friend just had to toss his spinnerbait at him which scared it off.

This week ill be trying my luck on Couchiching for the first time this year.

Luckestrike rc stx. On sale they cost 6 bucks. Switch out the hooks. They preform better than my vision 110

Seen a nice sturgeon, id estimate ~40 lbs sitting in the shallows over by Bone island in gbay today. Was a pretty cool sight.

NEVR get items shipped to Canada by UPS or FEDX as stated above there broker fees will make you cry. That is where they make all there money on shipments to Canada they clear every load and your left crying at home.

 

USPS the worst you will get is Canadian duty fees and a $5 Canada customs fee to open the package is they actually do open it up.

Wrong. Again it depends how its shipped lol. Try WorldWide Saver with UPS. I order tackle from the states on a monthly basis and only pay the tax, and its next day shipping. Anything thats ground will get raped because of the brokerage fees.

My Cal D 401 costed me 265 with shipping by UPS, i only paid $30 at the door. tax.

I didnt see the rods on etackle. Wiser offered to sell me one, so im happy.

I normally ship Ups (Worldwide Saver) and fedex (Express Air) . Ends up being cheaper than usps most of the time. You just have to understand the different shipping methods they offer. Most tackle shops in the states charge 15-25 for rods/reels, and i get them next day and just pay the tax. (which USPS charges anyways, plus the $10 handling fee)

Anyways, just was wondering if anyone has used/ordered the two piece. Figured it may save me on shipping. Ill probably just msg him for the shipping method/prices. Too bad etackle doesn't have them anymore, my first one came from there.

Has anyone tried ordering one from the states? The 2pc? Wondering what duties and extras I'll be hit with. My brother needs a rod. The compre I can get for dirt cheap but reviews seem poor.

Guess 80lb PP it is. Normally just throw double 10's. Always have good luck on them. If you could Pm me a price. Not sure ive seen the leaders at any local store, also unsure of the length i need. Im in sauga, but go to school downtown, Ryerson.

Just picked up a Calcutta d to. Just need line. Any recommendations? I had super slick on my previous reel, it was OK. Where do you guys get your fluoro leaders?

I spent the same. And keep it outdoors 24/7. Third year, dont see anything wrong with it.

I store mine outdoors in my yard. Built an A frame, put a heavy duty tarp over it. Air can come in. A few bounce sheets. No problems.

Surprised to hear that Lew, most musky fisherman that I talked to love that mesh.

Ended up getting the frabill big game.

Nothing big. All were in between 15-19 inches. Roughly a dozen between a group of 4

Caught a bunch on Saturday. All off lipless cranks over weeds, roughly 10fow

Awesome.
