Downriggers vs. Downriggers

Hello Guys Just bought myself a new ride. 18 ft. Starcraft aluminum open bow :D . Recently retired and planning on some fishing in Lake Ontario to hopefully get in on the salmon and trout available. Have been looking at Canon and Big Jon electric downriggers, both are probably excellent, but would l...

Bowfishing for Gar is completely legal. It is even legal in Ontario, but just for rough species, Gar and Carp. I just think those guys were nuts, looks like alligator type swamp to me. :lol:

GPS Recommendation

Looking to get a handheld GPS unit that I can use for fishing. Also like it to do double duty for hunting. Perhaps one that I can plug into a power source on my boat. Am I dreaming or is there such a unit that can do double duty as described, and not cost me a left lung? Not too familiar with GPS ot...

Thanks

Thanks for the info guys. Gave a inline board a try in the Ottawa yesterday, just to see what it can do. My God it must have been 30 to 40 feet off the boat. Stuck on a Deep Rapala Taildancer No. 11 and actually caught a Sauger that was smaller than the board. Looking forward to trying them on Quint...

Planer Boards

Got a chance to spend a few day on the Bay of Quinte. Was wondering if I should invest in a planer board. Have read a lot about them, (mostly mfg. hype) but never given them a try. Would appreciate some info by fisherman that have actually used them. A little early ( for the big ones ) but I have to...

Despite all this controversy about the roads and charges for using them, I booked a couple of nights at Mosque Lake Lodge. Love to try different trout water. Will take my camera and hopefully get to use it, try to do a report when I get back. Anybody have any advice or tips for fishing the lake. Wil...

Do you mean to say that the MNR stocks some of the lakes in there. And then the county gets to charge to use the roads to get to them. Are the roads at least in decent shape? Or is it just another money grab?

Hey Chris

you got my curiosity up. I haven't fly fished in more years than I care to say, but I love to explore new trout water. Do you know if there is a ramp to launch a small boat?

Thanks
Billy Bones :D :D

Bay of Quinte

Got to go to Belleville for a few days, the week of the 17th of Sept. Will haul my boat, got to have something to do in the evenings. Is that too early for the walleyes down there? Any suggestions? :D :D

Thanks guys

Got it figured out, the gear at the top of the starter motor was sticking. It wouldn't come up to drive the geared flywheel. Took it apart and emery clothed the shaft so that it was nice and free, gave it a good oiling and now it works like new.

Thanks for the suggestions
