Re: Bait cast reels

Like Ed said, once you get into it there's no turning back. I got back into fishing bout 7 years ago and bought my first baitcaster the following year. I now have 9 and only 2 spinning. Its a whole new experience. I fish from the bank and at times i'm stuck among tall grass, overhead tree branches, ...

Re: best knot for skirted jigs

when i need a knot with the tag facing the lure i use a clinch knot ( not the improved clinch). I often use Knot 2 Kinky or +30lbs fluoro leaders cos of pesky pikes and that knot never failed me on those stiffer lines...not sure about lighter lines

Re: First solid spring outing

Nice mixed bag, never fished under that bridge even though i pass on it every morning on my way to work. Another good spot for a mixed bag is under the metal bridge on the 9th between Plantagenet and St-Isidore...there's even some kind of a boat ramp. This morning i was under the two 417 bridges in ...

Re: lure color

Kevin to add some xtra color or to make your own color you can use a product like J.J.Magic dipping dye on your soft plastics. Bottles comes in 4 colors (chartreuse,red,methylate and blue) and a clear one and the garlic scent in them is strong..and i mean strong...dont bring this stuff in the house ...

Whopper Plopper

I know i'm kind of early to ask this kind of question but i already started doing my shopping for this summer. The Whopper Plopper, is it as good as some say it is for bass/pike? They're not cheap,so i would appreciate a bit of feedback before investing on a few different sizes.
