I think he fishes.

Fishing guide may be good for him.

I love my Senkos but they're so darned expensive.

i use wacky so Senko can be used longer.

i only use powerpro.

both are good.

nice fish.

NW bay near Emo Ontario, 20-25 deep off the reefs, lol.

 

Where are you located? I'm sure there is about 125,000 lakes in Ontario that have crappie in them

 

 

 

sorry, i forgot to mention i am in Toronto.

The importance or unimportance of your lines visibility is a tough call.

With a bait that is moving, or mostly moving, like a jig, crankbait, spinnerbait, top-water etc. I don't believe it is relevant. The fish see something escaping and reacts to it.

 

On a dead drop like a senko, something that is drifting in the water column, like a roe bag or nymph or with a floating bait like a fly, drag is the biggest problem.

 

The water column isn't all moving in the same direction, or at the same speed. This means that the line is being pulled in different directions and the bait doesn't move in a natural manner.

 

The classic methods of dealing with drag are to "mend the line" and/or use a smaller diameter line.

 

Mending the line means throwing some slack up stream or up wind so that the bait is less effected by other elements and of coarse thinner line has less cross section for things like wave action, wind and cross currents to pull on.

 

In my area, just north of the Kawarthas, the water is very clear. On calm days I don't think 15lb. chartreuse banded Tracer or red 10 pound Power Pro bothers the fish. On windy days I am apt to tie on a fluorocarbon leader or put to switch to a spool of fluorocarbon. The fact that the fluoro sinks might be more important than the claimed invisibility. Braid floats and in the wind it gets pulled around, spoiling the illusion of something that is dead or drowning.

good

it is funny

big fish!

i dont see many lily pad in rice lake this year.

considering to get a boat

nice fish

There is another board that many guys who fish Lake Ontario post on. There are always combos that are listed, many top end but reasonably priced. I think during the off season there will be a lot of Charter Captains that will be looking to get rid of their current set ups to make room for next year's new products.

agree
