  1. When I say "I'm leaving exactly at 5pm, if not before" it doesn't mean "let me know at 5:05 that you're about to eat supper, and then take 25 more minutes to do so. It's cool; it's not like we're running out of daylight or anything." Grrrr. After-work fishing trips will have to be solo from now on, I think.

      If it was 5am and we had a whole day to fish, sure, a half hour, even an hour late, whatever. But 5pm when it takes a half hour or more to get to the lake, plus more time to get onto the water, and the sun sets at what, 7:30pm now, if not earlier?

  2. Pretty annoying when splake are jumping clear outta the water all around your boat and won't take what you're giving to them.

  4. The telescopic rod tube at CT is a joke. Cap pops off, flimsy body, etc. Made my own out of ABS, not telescopic but SO much better! Will be mounting it to the rear rack on my Honda Big Red.

      It was a 10-year manufacturing ban and it ended in the 90s. The companies all agreed to not revive production.

      I had two of them last year. Decided to sell them to pay for a 4 wheeler. Can't kill those big reds, but they'll gladly kill you hahaha

      I also have two, but only one is insured and plated, the other is just for parts. Would have cost too much to get them both running, and I can only drive one at a time. :P

  5. Considering getting one of these for ice fishing. http://www.undertheweathertent.ca/XL-UNDERTHEWEATHER-TENT-RED-p/xlred.htm

      I won't find a nice used popup anywhere within a 100km radius from me. Add shipping or gas to pick up, and I may as well just buy brand new.

       

      I don't ice fish very often, so I don't need something that's built like a tank.

      The clear plastic will crack first time out in -15 temps

  6. Just bought a package of Fisherman's Friends. Put one in a cup of water, but nothing yet... How long do they usually take to hatch?

      Been busy.. Dealing with health issues for my 19-month-old and also for myself. No auroras yet.. Last year I tried and just hooked into a gigantic pike and then I left and quit trying for the season. Maybe I will just give up on them, I dunno.

  7. got a couple takers at the last minute, we hit a lake, pulled out 11 speckles. I am happy. :D

      I didn't get out last winter at all, so no. :P

  8. I need a shorter trolling motor. maybe I can just hack this one a bit....

    1. Rod Caster

      Rod Caster

      You need to fish deeper water

      I lengthed one by 18"s many years ago Dano, shortening one shouldn't be too difficult.

    3. adolson

      adolson

      Yep, that's exactly what I did - lopped off 15" and should be perfect now!

  9. what a horrible day of fishing. I think I'm done for the year.

      nice going. Aurora next ? :)

    2. adolson

      adolson

      Have certainly thought about it... There's a couple lakes reasonably close I could try this year. It's the last trout in my neck of the woods to catch.

  15. Tried casting a fly rod for the first time today. Made me feel like a kid with cerebral palsy trying to stay inside the lines on a page of a coloring book while sitting in the backseat of a monster truck as it takes jumps and crushes cars. Without wearing my seat belt. But I'll get the hang of it eventually.

    2. Rod Caster

      Rod Caster

      Can I borrow your truck?

  18. Couldn't get gas due to the power outage so was stuck to a nearby lake tonight. Got a nice pike for my inconvenience, though. 32"! Not my biggest, but still nice.

    1. Nipfisher

      Nipfisher

      Good to hear from you.

  20. argh.. 2.5hr drive to a little lake only to find a beasty truck with a mansion camper and a trailer with an ATV on it blocking access. And buddy inside sleeping away and it's after 6am. FISH OR GTFH

      irishfield

    1. Rod Caster

      Rod Caster

      I had a very similar weekend

  22. trying to decide on a Leatherman... I like the Skeletool CX, but kinda pricey by comparison... I like the carabiner, though

  23. first time using a baitcaster.. first cast, forgot the brakes, nested. second cast landed a pike. two fish in an hour on the water with my 6-month old.

      In other words, a great day on the water Dana !

  24. Can anybody name a better smoked almond than Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds? Anyone??? Didn't think so.

  25. thinking of trying for rainbows tonight.. don't seem to have much luck with 'em, though. maybe my brother can show me what I'm doing wrong

    1. adolson

      adolson

      Well, I had a nice one on but lost it right at the boat. Doesn't count, but at least I had a witness. I think I need to get a bigger net.
