    Where are the Pike right now?

    I went to the TO Island last weekend, had a couple follows from a pike on a J-11, but for the most part they were sluggish and non-commital. Usually I would've thrown back a 4inch tube but was travelling light. Saw lots of big carp. Goodluck.

    Big Carp from last weekend(and cats pics soon)

    Nice Kitty RedSkullz. I may try the White Lithium Grease on my Abu baitcaster, I too don't like the grease they provide. Thanks for the report man.

    Do you believe moon phases affect the "bite"

    Interesting stuff guys, I always wondered what other explanations there are to moon phases. Just gonna throw it out there, and it's totally an off-base comment, statistically crime goes up and down in accordance with the moon as well. It would be interesting if someone could identify a...

    Do you believe moon phases affect the "bite"

    While I believe other factors, more importantly local weather patterns, affect the bite more than the sun/moon phases, my experiences tell me there is some truth to the phenomenon. I deceided to put the theory to test a couple years ago. What I did was made a log of my catches (size, weight...

    Frogs as Bait?

    Be careful on using frogs. I'm pretty sure just Northern Leopard Frogs are allowed to be used as bait in Ontario, I'd have to read back into the regs as I dont use them. There are some lakes just North of Apsley that frogs are the go-to for locals, they swear by and use nothing else. I used a...

    Looking for a sensitive rod made by either Diawa or Ugle Stick

    x2 on the HMX I love my 7foot HM, fast action tip HMX. Totally in your price range. Further, customer service at Fenwick is amazing. My cousin snapped an older model HMX, he called Fenwick, no warranty, they still replaced it no questions, he paid for shipping. Can't beat good equipment...

    Detailed Custom Painted Cranks

    Brilliant Buddy, just brilliant. I was wondering how they might come out because of the engrained scale patterns, simply amazing! Love that Bee 52 pattern, almost like the jailbird I have on some musky baits. Well done RedSkullz. Now, they certainly catch fisherman, do they catch fish? lol...

    Victoria Day Long Weekend

    Well got back yesterday from the Moon River. Weather held up from Thrusday through Saturday, Monday forward was a rainy, T-stormy mess. As for bugs, suprisingly, no black flies nor mosquitoes. We were plauged with a pine roach infestation in the cabin and djune (sic?) bugs that would fly...

    Canal Lake-Mitchell Lake- Lake Dalrymple

    With respect to the photo of OOS fish, that debate has been flogged many times before; I'm sure the board has policies in place restricting posting of OOS catches. While I know you weren't targeting the species, OOS fish are to be released immediately. An MNR officer will right you up if you...

    Canal Lake-Mitchell Lake- Lake Dalrymple

    Good job. Those are some good sized pike for Canal. You may want to remove the photo of the largie as it is definately out of season. Nice report and some good fishing.

    Victoria Day Long Weekend

    Thanks for the tips Gents! Oh man, I forgot about dusting off the head net. Note to users, in my report I will be fishing, not bee keeping lol. Bummer about the injury staffman; here's to a speedy recovery. Best of luck to all this weekend. Stay safe!

    Victoria Day Long Weekend

    Hello all: Vic Long weekend this weekend. I took the Friday and the Tuesday off work so I'm going to stretch it out some lol. What are your plans? Myself, I'll be on the Moon River looking for walleye. Never been this early in the year; usually head up in there just after musky opener...

    Dipsy Divers

    Dipseys are great for getting your bait down and away from the boat. The chart on the luhrJensen site is useful. I would recommend using in combination with a line-counter real or even the clip on line-counter by Rapala. In combination, and utilizing the depth range chart, the dipsey is...

    Canal Lake-Mitchell Lake- Lake Dalrymple

    I'm not sure if it's the highway (48/11) that runs right by Mitchell lake or just a RR, but there is good fishing to be had there. I usually stop for some casts on my route from Canal to Balsam and cast from the between the canal and the road that intersects the lake. I've caught bass and musky.

    Looking for chipped crankbaits

    Here is a pic of the lures. As you can see they have a textured pattern on the body itself; potentially, making for some pretty cool looking baits with a custom paint job. I've tossed a couple of them, but not all, and they run alright. I'm particular to the popper on the top left, if you...

    Looking for chipped crankbaits

    Hey there RedSkullz. I have some prototype baits given to me by a couple years ago. Can't remember exactly how many, possibly 8-10. They are a variety of cranks, stickbaits and topwaters. As they were one offs, they are currently all painted flat black. I'll take a pic and post 'em later...

    Trying new braided lines

    I've also been using Powerpro for years. My fishing partner spooled up with Sufix 832 and loves it. I took a couple casts with it and it feels pretty good.

    Baitcasters arent JUST for bass... right?

    Same, I use mine for more than just bass. Apart from what was mentioned, baitcasters for the most part, have a better drag system than most spinning reels. It comes in handy when fighting fish that pull a little harder than bass. You'll be fine spooling mono, however, the memory of mono might...
