    Kayak fishing

    i've got a clearwater designs tofino, paid about $600 for it, then put another few hundred into it with the addition of an elite-4x, a scotty triple mount for rod holder, gopro, and fishfinder mount, and a few other tweaks. below is a pic of my friend's pelican which he pimped out with flush...

    Brook Trout/Rainbow Trout advice.

    Jazzy, I'm also from barrie. Perhaps you, I and madriverfisher could get out some time. There's lots of good spots close to Barrie (~20 mins any direction) that hold bows, brookies, etc. Judging by his name I'm sure MDF knows a good spot or two ;) lol

    simcoe lakers

    you can fish for lakers in your inflatable for sure. lots of guys head out to laker grounds in their kayaks, just use common sense and don't go out on a windy day and you'll be fine. i mean, in lots of spots "laker grounds" are only 500 - 750m off shore. as for how lake trout fight, all the...

    simcoe lakers

    he is most likely jigging for them, same as you would fishing through the ice. best way to catch lakers IMO. there's also a number of ways you can downrig, etc. from a kayak.

    My OKUMA Rant

    that sucks dude, sorry to hear about the crappy service. however, sometimes that extra money you pay is for more than the reel itself. i have a custom-run centerpin and last year i lost the screw cap that holds the spool to the backplate 3 days before i left for nova scotia for an atlantic...

    March Madness starts today, anyone following it?

    last year i had a perfect bracket right up until the elite 8. then from there it went all bad lol. i play bracket pools every year for march madness, something i look forward to all year long :) although i don't have a perennial favourite i typically enjoy the "cinderella story" teams. So far...

    Wading boots

    goodentight had a great point and such a simple one - try to stay out of the water lol. it was difficult for me to learn since i love to wade deep and get right into the river, but this winter i tried to wade as little as possible and found my days, in turn, were much longer and therefore more...

    Roe scent/oils??

    tymbitz - pautzke has two main products: a cure (cure your own fresh eggs in this) a nectar (they boil salmon eggs and put the nectar in a jar) some guys use the nectar to soak their roe bags in, etc. i've personally never used either - but as CC mentioned, there's a faction of guys out there...

    Roe scent/oils??

    no problem my friend, glad to help. it typically will not come in different colours. salmon and rainbow roe differ in colour slightly but not by much. that said, you CAN cure roe with various cures that provide them with brighter neon-ish colours, etc. but that's not required and i certainly...

    Roe scent/oils??

    i subscribe to the following theory: in the fall, the bows follow the salmon into the rivers closely and at many times are gorging themselves on salmon eggs. therefore - in the autumn months i tend to chuck alot of chinny roe and 8-10mm beads. in the spring, the trout are laying / finishing...

    tips for a newbie steelheader?

    hit a GTA trib, or somewhere further northwest than the notty and it will certainly be better than sitting at home :) im just trying to save you some frustration because you're gonna be upset if you travel all the way to the nottawasaga only to find out it's impossible to fish. like i said, it...

    tips for a newbie steelheader?

    you're wasting your time if you come up any sooner than.... next week lol. the river is still up about a meter in most places and completely unfishable. as for the "will this really last me a season" i strongly suggest that it certainly will. unless you're spinning up stupidly monster-sized...
