    Ditto on the chartreuse J-13 Rapala ! Again start early if you can !
  2. tuffishooker
    The only one that worked for us was the chartreuse / black ladder back ! Had to remove the front treble hook or it would tangle with the rear hook ! I was glad to sell the lot to a good home for a very good price for me ! We stick with J-Plugs ! When they work they work well !

    Many in our hunt club use an O/U for field use ! I use my 12 gauge for ducks and geese but others may differ ! If money is an issue a Remington 870 can do it all at a low price !

    A good varmit is a dead varmit ! Nice shooting !
  5. tuffishooker
    Try with a red SpinDoctor with a red Howie'S Peanut Fly !

    October for us off Port Dalhousie !

    " can handle aluminum rigs EASILY by myself " ! A major point which I forgot to mention ! I fish solo a lot and this can be a major factor for me ! Re. fuel consumption I have rescued 2 glass boats who had run out of fuel ! You did not mention the deterioration of fiberglass esp. if the boat had been in salt water ! A great topic thanks for you detail response !
  8. tuffishooker
    What about fuel consumption ? Glass as compared to aluminum plus resale value and we all have to pick our days no mater what boat we buy ?

    Les can be more ! Ie. tangles can ruin your A.M. You would have to be very good at it and if you were you would not be asking the question IMO !

    Thanks for the post ! Where there others ? We got as far as the Queenston / Lewiston bridge when a swirl tilted the port stern to about 1 cm. of free board and that was enough for us to back off ! IMO once it starts getting scared it stops being fun ! been there too many times and do not want any others ! Again no fish is worth risking your safety for !

    Lot of detail here ! To begin KIS ! Mono is out ; start with braid and get good at it then if you must add or shift to wire ! you have a lot of expert opinions here by experienced and very helpful fishermen ; in the end as I have posted before do what works for you !
  12. tuffishooker
    Great post but how big is your boat ?
  13. tuffishooker
    Well put sk8man [ Tuffishooker M.D. full time 55 years !]
  14. tuffishooker
    The best fishing is the "drop off " ! goes from ~ 60 fow to ~120 fow ! I have only trolled never tried jigging ; spoons are #1 then dodger fly or cut bait ! Can get a little crowded at times with US & Canadian fishermen ! Lake trout are the #1 catch ; there is plenty of information on this site !
  15. tuffishooker
    Need more information to make any comparison ? #1 start with size of boat ; seen many salmon boats 28 ft. twin screws V8 engines #2 electric downriggers maybe 4 #3 sonar can go to 2 grand #4 FishHawk to a grand #5 terminal tackle [ spoons , dodgers , flies , plugs , body baits open ended and changes every year ] etc. Not sure how " bass fishing " compares ! You tell me ? [ can add VHF radio ,radar +++ ]
  16. tuffishooker
    Ditto on too many variables to make firm conclusions now ! Merry Christmas !
  17. tuffishooker
    For us after 34 years on Lake Ontario ; color rules , action #2 ! Color can vary every day and during the day !
  18. tuffishooker
    " you shouldn,t think about the money " ! Maybe but do not buy yourself a ticket to the " poor house " ! [ seen it more than once ] 1
  19. tuffishooker
    No fish is worth risking your safety for !
  20. tuffishooker
    Again weather rules in a small boat ! Take a weather course if available ; get the forecast before going out and come in if the weather changes ! I still run my 16 ft. Starcraft on Lake Ontario since 1985 and too late to change now !
  21. tuffishooker
    If you had to pick ONE gun what would it be ?
  22. tuffishooker
    Real time Excaliber cross bow ; buck taken butcher made a mess of the sausage ! [ We are only allowed archery in area 88 Niagara ]
  23. tuffishooker
    Toyota Camry ! ? On the same permit or a different one ! The only road kill I have got with my Toyota Tundra is a recent skunk so far ! [ No doubt about that one } Just missed a nice buck coming back from Lake Erie walleye fishing in my Ford van pulling a boat years ago !
  24. tuffishooker
    Do you need a permit for the Toyota Tacoma ?
  25. tuffishooker
    How did we get on this topic ? What am I missing ?
