Walleye, smallies, pike for me. But any fish is enjoyable. Oh yeah, I love fishing big crappies too!

There are different organizations depending on the area and catch. I think the vast majority require certified weighing with witnesses of said organization or CO's. I could be totally wrong here, cause I'm not really concerned about catching any records, lol. If I was though, I'd have adequate...

I dont know the whole story but I have seen Blair being accused of poaching, flossing and fishing out of season in the past. (if I remember correctly) Blair a good poster in my eyes, I've got no reason to believe hes done or has done any of those things. It is what it is, it'll blow over and...

It should also be noted that rivers are a different beast then big lakes or back lakes. I've had close calls on 20" of ice on Rainy River. Rapids (obviously) back eddies and current seams drastically change the way ice forms, and behaves, once frozen. Float suits are MANDATORY for river ice...

6 inches of "good ice" is the safe bet.

Keep getting bit!

Beauty pic!!!!! Amazing!!! Solitude for the win!!!! Of course, all these spots in my photos produced! lol

Kudos to that post, that IS WHAT it is all about!!!!! Catching fish is great and fun, but just get out there and enjoy. Do something positive. NOTHING IS BETTER FOR THE SOUL, then enjoying natures beauty. And the many minor and major details it presents to us

hahahaha, this thread got me laughing pretty good!

Okuma makes wicked walleye/bass gear. Not so much on the other rods lol, outside of saltwater anyhow. Yo said you store it in the bed of your truck without protection???? WTH man, any IM blank will explode if it has a nick or damage to it. Treat your gear better and it will return the favor...

Nice catches Salmo!!!! You guys really wanna have fun catching those pike? 3 or 4" Berkley Chigger Craw, rigged on a weighted wide gap hook. Black and red flake is my go to color. Fish it fast as a surface bait, then when the bite slows down, slow down the presentation. Make it swim just like...

Holy geez! I'll get to this later tonight when I have more time. Sounds like a wicked lake dood. Have you fished there in the spring at all for walleye? Or is it closed near the spawn?

First off, congrats on graduating!!! This really depends alot on the lake you'll be fishing. How deep does it get? What the water visibility like? Water temperature? What type of structure does it offer? Does it have in/outflowing streams? What type of forage is available? How big is the lake...

If it's sunny and warm, look for shallow sand. Big fish will sun on the sand. Look at ambush points to, use above water clues if you can. The 5 fillet method is untouchable for pike, and super easy with no bones. Just keep yer knife sharp! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3-GLr9bTXM

Walleye indeed eat pike and vise versa, same with pike and musky, and bass etc. The flawed view is on the young of the year point. These fish eat each other quite often and doesn't seem to cause issue. But young of the year of all these species are FORAGE for older fish as well, it is what it...

Best of luck on your endevours

I was just talking about the situation as a whole dockmuskie, not directing my posts at you. I can see that (the bolded part). I can understand that stance too. Ithink there is a difference in my thinking when it occurs naturally, I think it should be as is. But my mindset changes if its been...

Maybe, but who knows? On one hand, muskies are a hugely popular game fish (I'm sure that plays into this topic somewhat) On the other hand you have massive MNR cutbacks So??? They need some other method of examining these issues, thats a given. Altering fish populations because of...

Thats a great article showing SPECULATION as a reason to deem a natural fish as invasive, lol. I understand the MNR is trying to prevent a decline in Musky populations in the area, but they NEED better studies to understand if it's even necessary. Good read nonetheless, thanks

Just my opinion here, Without some really really well controlled studies on the issue then most of this is all speculation. We, as anglers, tend to lean towards the negative side of these situations, when in all reality, maybe a growing population of pike in the Kawarthas would HELP musky...
