    1997 Champion Bass boat 200hp Johnson - $3150!!!

    I'm not selling this boat but I found this ad on Kijiji. This seems like a ridiculously low price for this boat so if anyone is looking for a bass boat check this out. (I just bought a new boat or I'd be inquiring about this). It seems like it's in great shape but also seems too good to be true...

    Help with drop shotting

    So I notice different preferences here. Is it better to use a spinning setup or baitcaster? And braid or fluro or braid with fluro leader? I haven't rigged any of my rods with fluro because I found it hard to work with. So is there an advantage to using all fluro? I'll probably be fishing in...

    A question about my outboard.

    I'm not 100% sure what it is but I had a Johnson 9.9 that did the same thing. It seemed normal. If I turned it to forward or reverse quickly I got no clicking but if I slowly tried to turn into gear it would click repeatedly until it got into gear. I always thought it was normal. Just the motor...

    13 Fishing and Daiwa reviews?

    That's weird. The 15% off sale started yesterday here at the Oshawa Sail. I'm not sure if you could still get the 15% off. I think the Stradic FJ was on clearance and not on sale so you may be able to still get the 15% off.

    Neat trick for taking pics of Fish when your alone.

    Hi guys, I know everyone in here cares a great dea about proper handling of fish and sometimes it's a problem when trying to get that great shot of the fish and yourself when your alone, So I thought I'd share a little trick I found last week. I was at Dollarama and they sell those cell phone...

    Help with drop shotting

    So I'm going up to the trailer this week and will be bass fishing. I'm gonna have another go at drop shotting because I hear it's very productive but I've yet to catch anything doing it. Does anyone have any tips? Like for instance what depth I should be at this time of year or what areas of the...

    Shimano Crucial 7'11. Anyone have any experience with this rod?

    Thanks. I'm gonna pass on it. A little too long for my liking.

    What was the price on the Omen and on the Tatula rods? I like the Tatula rod cause it matches my Revo STX with the gold in it. Lol

    Baitcaster rod with spinning reel

    I think you'd might as well tape your spinning reel to a branch rather than use a baitcaster rod with it. Lol Like others have said just keep practicing with the baitcaster, once you get the hang of it, it's well worth it. When I was first learning some of the tips I used were set the break...

    13 Fishing and Daiwa reviews?

    Yep Sail has 15% off fishing and hunting from tomorrow to Sunday. Sad to hear these bad reviews about the Omen Black. I really liked the look and feel of it. Was thinking of picking one up. I was thinking the same as you Legomye990 and wanted to try the Tatula too. Although I was looking at the...

    Shimano Crucial 7'11. Anyone have any experience with this rod?

    I'm looking at this rod but I'm just not sure if I have a use for a 7'11 rod. Has anyone used this rod or a similar size and what for? It's advertised as a swim bait or crankbait rod. I use a Compre or a spinning rod for crankbaits right now. Thanks

    Any good 2 piece bait caster rods?

    I haven't had my Veritas that long but so far no issues. I have heard the ones with micro guides tend to break off easily though.

    Any good 2 piece bait caster rods?

    My Compre is a 6'10 1 piece. I do like the rod but I find the definition of fast tip is not the same as say an Abu Garcia. The Compre seems to be more moderate although has the backbone to it. I have a Curado on mine too but use it for crankbaits.

    Best Place To Fish In Canada(from shore)

    Lol lol. Ok drive 2 days North, spend 4 fishing and drive 2 days back. Seriously though the Pike fishing where you are should be way better than down here in the GTA! I have a trailer on a lake about 2 hours south of you (Lake Manitouwabing) and there's some pretty nice trophy Pike in there...

    Anyone know anything about choosing the right Prop?

    I have a 17' Starcraft bowrider with a 3.0L Mercruiser (135hp) Alpha One 2.0 out drive weighing 2330lbs empty. Currently I have a 14" x 19p alloy prop on it. WOT I am hitting 4400 RPM and tops out at 35mph. From what I've read the RPM's could be a bit higher to put the engine in the optimal...

    Any good 2 piece bait caster rods?

    I have a 7' MH fast 2 piece Veritas and love it. Its my favourite casting rod (others are HMG, Vendetta And Compre) It's a bit heavier than the 1 piece but like you I need it to collapse for travelling. Stiffest rod I've ever used and rips the largemouths out of the pads.

    Need help choosing a Fish Finder: Lowrance vs. Humminbird

    So I took the Lowrance back and installed the Humminbird. Very happy with it. Clear picture and surprisingly no issues at high speed on the boat. I had written an email to Sail customer service explaining the problem and how pissed I was and they finally got back to me to say they would take the...

    Some Nice Smallies by a new Fisherman!

    Took the kids up to the trailer and out fishing. I think the oldest is sold on this sport. Caught himself a few nice Smallies and the little one got his first largemouth (sorry don't know why the pics get rotated):
