Boats also lose there value at a much slower rate than other vehicles. I actually made 2k on the last boat I bought, but I bought it in winter, and then sold it a few years later at the height of the fishing season. It was also a pretty desirable manufacturer and motor combo. As for the...

Is this what fishing has become? Just one giant Internet search, to make YouTube content? Algonquin is a great place. Pack a car, head out and start hunting around. You'll find fish, and some great scenery. That's what we did when we where kids. No coordinate hunting to be done back then...

I use waterproof Plano boxes and store them in milk crates. I attach rope handles to either side of the milk crates. At least I used to, for the most part my tackle stays in the lockers on my boat now, but I still use the milk crate system twice a year when I load and unload the boat, or if I...

Spray on truck bedliner available for $10 a can at Canadian tire works well enough to touch up coated nets. I suppose it would work well enough to coat a net if you put enough on.

Nonsense, I've landed 10 fish in a row on the same fluorocarbon leader. I'm not sure where your getting your info but it is tremendously inaccurate. Nonetheless, stick with what works for you! I don't think I have much more to add here.

I have fished the ganaraska on opening day dating back to 1990. I've never crossed lines with someone while fighting a steelhead, even back in the days of clear water and 2lb leader. I'm very surprised your running into this trouble. Many years ago I ran samurai green 6lb for mainline. Now I...

Well, I'm not a kayak expert, but I know a thing or 2 about Lake Ontario. You wouldn't catch me out on the big lake mid winter in a tiny rig like a kayak. The lake is unpredictable, and can be unforgiving in July. In the middle of the winter it will kill you quickly if something goes wrong...

30 years fishing steelhead and the only place I've crossed lines with someone with fish on is back in the days when we could fish up into the dam pool at the Humber, and I've fished every trib on the north and south shore of Lake O including Oak and dirty burt at its worst and all across Huron...

Frogwaters are ok, but after owning one they are no smoother than any of my reels, I think he does a nice job on production and the machining isn excellent but my old drifter runs just as well. Still, enjoyable to own but now that I have one, it doesn't stand out to me and it's not a reel that...

I boat fish pier heads often enough. If your tangling with shore fisherman you are fishing too close. The salmon will still be a couple hundred more feet out.

If you buy an xi5, get the largest battery you can fit in your compartment. A 24 size won't cut it, a 27 is alright but you'd be best with a 31 if you can fit it. I run my xi5 pretty hard and murdered a grp27 battery last season. I'm running a 31 this year.

Trilene 10lb XL. It's very forgiving line. Not fancy, not pink or bright green, but works very well .

I don't think the blood sports are for you.

Who is we? Not me pal. Your on your own with your animal alliance views. As for the tailing glove? I've been fishing rivers getting close to 30 years now, and I've never seen a trout with a handprint on its tail. Or a salmon for that matter, but I don't fish much for those stinky buggers...

I don't know about the elite , but I use 2 standard 7 foot ugly stick casting rods as bottom bouncer rods and they do backup as trolling rods also. They aren't a high end rod, but they've handled a lot of fish and I've been pretty happy with them. I've even used one for casting plugs from time...

They all pretty much have a 1 year warranty. I have been running a Raymarine touch screen unit, and they offer a 2 year warranty that they extend to 3 if you register online: so far I'm pretty satisfied. Lowrance is coming out with a new Elite 7 in February. It is touch screen with down and...

Some guys make it too complicated. If you can see your float, then you know where your line is. There is no practical advantage to high vis line. If other guys can't see your line your drifting too far. Clear main line to float to leader, splitshot on the main. 24 inches of fluoro to hook...

This has been going on for ages. It's a new issue for new steelheaders. The same thing has been going on for 20 years or more. It's no better, no worse. Same with steelhead opener on the ganny. Whenever you have shallow water, with copious amounts of fish, and a bunch of 5 day a year...

I don't fish port hope for salmon in the river and haven't for years. But I regularily stop for gas, lunch and coffees when steelheading, or passing through to Bewdley to fish rice lake, or fish the big lake out of PH. If I'm towing the boat, I often am topping off the tank there as well...
