  1. Easy to make your own. The hard rubber stuff you can get at hardware store for dipping tool handles into to make a rubber grip. Dip a duolock swivel clasp part way in, and use a razor blade to make a cut in the material.
  2. I don't troll them slower than 2.25 mph on moor subtroll. 2.25 - 3 mph is good range
  3. You guys don't know panic. Last year I missed opening of gun because of a destination wedding. This year I have two more destination weddings in NOVEMBER!! My wife's family are not hunters. To them "the rut" is a bump in the road.
  4. $19.00 per acre, plus you carry a land lease insurance policy. I would agree to help him with downed trees and trail maintenance.
  5. Update on Noodles the rescue dog. She has rounded out as a nice dog. She is absolute gonzo for squirrels and rabbits and has even soft pointed birds. I have begun training her as a squirrel dog to sit at my side until I send her after a critter. She chases at breakneck speed and launches herself up the tree. On prompting she returns to my side til the next one comes by. I have never squirrel hunted but this weekend I will be looking up squirrel recipes
  6. So for those of you fishing the East end of the lake, what does a NE wind do to the fishing in the Mexico Bay area this time of year?
  7. Anyone taking bets that NOAA gets the forecast wrong this weekend? I am hoping I am wrong but usually storms going up East Coast means we get a NE stinker on Ontario
  8. She looks loaded with eggs
  9. almost the size of a paddle, see if you can get your hands on some 6.5" Big 'Ern spoons next time you are up in Canada. Bright colors like a fire tiger will work. Short wave tackle in Port Credit has some. Closest spoon to those are the Tomic 6" spoon and the Northport nailer super mag 5.5"
  10. Hell no not complaining. I hate using the stinky stuff that costs an arm and a leg
  11. I have yet to catch a fish on cut bait this year. Sushi flies I can get them on but bait heads.......notta
  12. Take them off and don't look back
  13. 2013 was last of clipping according to DEC website so 4 year olds next year will be last
  14. Finally seeing the rare clipped pen fish
  15. Nice work. Were you on the drop off or between Wilson?
  16. A lot of what you are seeing there on that graph is thermocline/plankton blooms.
  17. Sorry buddy, wife got wind of me not fishing and decided a new agenda for my time tomorrow. Keep an eye on those storms to the West.
  18. My crew crapped out on me also
  19. 290' out on a standard dipsy you are about 75' down. Mag dipsy will put you to almost 100'. I would say that does not qualify as super deep in the world of salmon
  20. It's the derby leader on LOC. 33 + lbs. kudos for posting details of catch and good luck on the payday
  21. Twice this year upon boating a King on Ontario and recheck my fluoro fly leader, I noticed my cinch knot had slipped to the point I was lucky I didn't loose the fish. The tag end of knot was pulled flush to the main knot. I think the stiffer nature of fluoro causes relaxation in the cinching over time where mono really cranks down on itself comparatively. Now these were knots that may have been tied two years ago so it might be good practice to either retie over time/usage or at least grab a pair of pliers, wet the knot and pull the tag end to retighten fluoro periodically.
  22. Sorry for your loss. Prayers sent.
  23. Buying new is a HORRIBLE investment regarding what you will receive back when you sell it. Worse than cars. Buy at the bottom of the value curve, put a little sweat equity into her and you can sell to a new owner similar to what you payed for it.
  24. Take a look at the Penn Yan 245 for sale in classified section.
