Very cool to learn more about those hard fighting Coney fish. Great report Scuro. Have you warmed up yet? Lol. W. Funny you should mention that. I've come back from two weeks of fishing in northern Quebec. The last week was blistering hot..hotter then down south and I can see why there are forest f...

Jokes were made about ice ...

Funny you should say troll, on a yak I have trolled small gold or yellow lures and gotten hits. Never caught one that way. In the early spring they will seek warmth so shallower water away from any currents...especially mid day. They are skitterish shallow. They tend not to travel great distances so...

Brother in law used to charter out of the harbour in the summer and fall...mostly salmon some lakers. It's a nice day's fishing with someone special...especially when the sun goes down.

You can buy metal leaders or buy/ make your own fluro leaders.

The bigger the pike the stronger the fluro should be...but even for smaller pike I wouldn't start at anything less than 80 pounds. You still my occasionally get a cut off but it will be a rare event.

So off I went solo and as luck would have it the 5 other guys there were a great group of guys. Where is...

Nice nice fish.

Enjoying following your exploits over the years. Keep em coming!

I like saltwater fishing, thanks for the report!

Could be the spawn...you'll catch nothing then. Simplest rig to catch carp with is called a bolt rig. The carp literally catches itself.

The post needed a pic of Bunk pouting while Brenda scored the biggest fish again!

With the newer spincasting reels the incredibly smooth and powerful drag is the main selling point.

Each has it's purpose and its place. For throwing anything over 1/4 oz, I would be looking at a casting combo. That is the local prejudice, as is fly fishing is much better than "gear" fishing out in BC. I'll tell you one thing, you will certainly look out of place in bass tourni with spi...

Little idea that you did half this stuff. Stuck in a bubble! :lol: Great going still Chris. Bring on 3. Great stuff Chris. Thanks for sharing. Cuba is one of my most favorite places in the world. I'm nowhere near as ambitious as you on out trips though! RJ Compliments from two fishermen I admire. ....
