  6. kayak fishing tournament in Southern Ontario

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Where exactly on Lake Huron would you be holding this? Sounds interesting. I've never kayaked, but always wanted to try. I'm always looking at the fishing rigged kayaks at the sportsman shows. I own a canoe by the way,so I'm pretty sure I'd catch on. I'm not sure I could catch any fish though :lol: . Sounds very interesting to me . I have a buddy that always wanted to kayak as well, so maybe.

    WOW, first of all it looks like a great place to have a cottage. This is probably the place responsible for your love of fishing etc. or at least part of it , so it must be a fantastic feeling to own it. Just curious Bernie,did you spend summers here as a kid? Secondly,nice job! You must be pretty handy. That looks like alot of work to get it right. I'm very envious :worthy: .

    I use similar jigs quite frequently for Brook Trout. Those are beautiful and they would catch Brookies guaranteed!

    Hey Dan, if I catch one beauty like that,it'll be worth it. Did you make that jig in the pic? Maybe someday I'll be that talented (like Mepps) . For now I guess I'll just buy them. What made me buy them is I was watching Fish TV and Leo Stakos was catching walleye on one very similar and outcatching Ron James who was using a crankbait I believe (Leo outfish Ron ...Naah,must be the lure right?). They mentioned that they were tied by somebody in Oakville, Burlington or somewhere local but I forgot. Who knows I may have all the details wrong, but the "weird" (to me) lure tied by someone local stuck in my brain. Then I ran across these and thought they looked very familiar. I pm'd the guy and asked whether there was a connection. He said yeah, I tied jigs for those guys, Henry and Italo and Bob Izumi (he mentioned others too). Apparently he had a portable "store" that he used to follow the circuit with. He then gave me tips on fishing them, like using the "white's" on Simcoe etc. All in all it was a great buying experience. Now it's up to me to make them catch fish I guess. :Gonefishing: Oh Dan, I sent you a pm reply as well.

    I just bought these last night from a gentleman in Burlington. He hand ties these beauties and has set them up as a system where there is a light, a dark, and a colorful model in each style to suit different water colours/lighting conditions/situations. Has anyone on the board used these or similar? I'd be very interested in the details. ;) He's a nice guy too. If anyone wants to know who he is just pm me.

    I was there yesterday too, although I wouldn't know anyone from the board (except father of 3) if I fell over them. I keep an eye out for an OFC hat or shirt,whether there or at a fishing show etc but haven't seen one yet. I was at a show at one of the warehouses I buy from and was going right by on the way home,plus my uncle who came with me had never been there, so I just had to stop ...... you know LOL. I bought five packs of plastics (two yum shakey worms,one Yum ribbon tail, one blue/white tubes,one Zoom white trick worms) ,two lures (super spot and a popper) and two packs of Gamakatsu offset worm hooks and came out for $ twenty two something tax in.You gotta like it! I would have bought a bit more,but half the stuff I went in for they had already sold out of. I guess half a deal is better than no deal. I also stopped off in Burlington and got some hand tied jigs on the way but we'll leave that until tonight when I can post pics. These things are beautiful.

  18. Great Dave Mercer News!!

    Wow, congratulations Dave. I enjoyed your seminar at the Spring Fishing Show as well. Always entertaining (or edutaining). Just wind you up or put a quarter in and away you go, stopping every twenty minutes for a breath (or Subway sub LOL) and away you go again. All kidding aside, you're a great ambassador for the sport and Canada. P.S. I still haven't seen my first full length "Facts of Fishing" show. I have the BPS videos and everyone has seen the "shorts". I'm looking forward to it and having more opportunities to catch the new show is all good. :D

  21. Amazing hour!

    What a gorgeous fish and pic. You could use that for an ad. Makes me want to try it for sure! Nice job. What reel are you using? Someday I'll be looking for a used setup and being it's your fave setup, maybe I'll file that info in the back of my brain for future reference. Man, I'm jealous. I should have started fishing twenty years ago. Soooo much to learn.
