What baitcaster rod/reel set up would you recommend for me. I want to try something different from the regular spinner reel. I use a 5' 6" berkley cherrywood medium action w/ a spider tarantula reel. My budget would be about $120. I live in Hamilton and travel up north a bit so bass pro shop in Vaughn and Fishing world in Hamilton are two stores i can get to.
I really like the X-rap as well but I prefer the side to side action of the husky jerk. Another great lure is the new clackin minnow by rapala. Had a lot of success with it!
The lake is all ice now and they don't allow ice fishing on it. If we are lucky we can get out in March if the ice melts fast enough. If not we have to wait until the 2nd Saturday in May.
This is a GOPRO HD HERO. Mounted with my home made hat cam and yes it works great! I made another video showing how I made my hat cam you should check it out. Super easy to make!
Made many a fishing trip into the Canadian wilderness. Used to fly in from Chapleau, White River back in the early 60's. Wish I had a gopro back then to record the adventures :D
You guys are hardcore. You've also sold me on using a canoe--all the fishermen around here demand boats and pretend to catch walleye. I may have to show them your style of finesse!
Thanks man! If I have a chance to go fishing I definitely take it! Canoes rock and they are super quiet so there is minimal risk of scaring the fish :)
Is that reel a left handed Shimano Curado you are using? (new style). Ima huge fan of Shimano. I used to have two of the old style curados but lost them... don't ask.
how do you stand up in a canoe?? Me and my girlfriend sat firmly in a canoe up in Maine and I tell ya i was about to go for a swim....i got 2 OLD TOWN kayaks they ROCK...very stable...
I bought a really wide canoe 16ft long. As long as you keep a wide stance you are good to go! I have been in other canoes that I wouldn't dare stand up in but mine is perfect for standing and fishing!
oh and by the way thats my absolute favorite way to fish, early fall pike fishing with either the husky jerk or slash bait but i like to use clown(: i run into a lot of perch, though
@ShutUpAndFishCanada I canoed 6 years before I tipped it, but it was serious and I lost gear and scared myself out of the canoe. It happened so quick that no one could have saved it. Freak storms come out of no where sometimes.
I was there on Saturday, not as much luck as you guys. We fished at the tube though couldn't break the ice there, so we fished the other side. Good shit.
wow i hit mountsberg on saturday the 3rd and got 1 fish couple hits but because it was so not below freezing i thought i could fish from shore jeez i was wrong.
What time did you get there? Did you see us in the canoe? We left around noon. There were 7 guys fishing from shore with a minnow and bobber and they left with a stringer full! They were on the rocks right next to the dam(opposite of the parking lot).
@ShutUpAndFishCanada No i got there around 2 due too stupid reasons but i did see those guys, i went on to the tracks and fished from the pipe but because the water was frozen on the side facing the dam we had to fish the opposite side its ok but not much activity in the water and i might head up next weekend depending on the temp during the week, hopefuly the water wont be frozen but idk i dont think it will on the opposite side because that flow from the pipe should keep it from freezing.
that area of open water is a sign ....U MUST fish that area:) its different from the others.... thats where youlll find the fish.... iced lines and reels... is a story i know all to well... -30 dosent scare me for open water fishing... or ice fishing.... gget sicker fro not fishing then fishing in extreme conditions
