A good quality (light) rod and 8ft long helps. Two handed casts. I'm right handed so my right hand goes above the reel on the rod, and my left hand goes under the reel on the rod. It's almost like swinging a bat. As i swing forward, i actually pull back on my lower(left) hand and use my right hand a...

AB...you could try Bill Craig...he is founding member of Ottawa Valley Musky Club and operates out of Arnprior. Try checking out the webpage search on OVMC. His cell is 613-622-0673. Tell him Pete Clements sent you. I've been out with him..he knows where the fish are. Good luck...Pete Clements AKA F...

You COULD be living in sunny Baghdad.

moonshine..."never travel with the waves hitting the side of the boat". That's pretty funny. Where do you fish, in your swimming pool??

I have a 14.5 ft Legend and am hesitant about taking it out on the Ottawa. Last Saturday was a good example(14th Aug). Started out nice enough but by the afternoon the wind was honkin' out of the SW. I was in a 19 ft boat trolling on the north side of the river opposite Arnprior and the waves hittin...

OK all you gurus...I was on the Rideau again early on Tuesday morning (July 20th), 50 ft from shore in 4-5 ft of water. I was attracted there as there was a LOT of splashing happening on the surface. For 50 yds in either direction, and all around me were these huge splashing fish. Couldn't tell what...

RJ and AF...I guess my real concern was that they are destroying the valuable natural habitat of the fish. Is this a valid concern?

CG...no, they were all adults towing kids. And they were a good 100 ft inside the bouy....didn't slow down or anything. I was waiting for a huge BANG, but they made it through and kept on going! I was really surprised at the number of boats that did the same thing.

i was hangin round the green bouy just west of 416 brdg, when all these tube and wakeboard boats go screaming thru (heading east) 3.5ft of water on the S side of the green bouy Coming from the west, you have to bear left (port) as you approach the bridge. If you're fast and south, you're goin thru t...

What is the theory of using a SS prop....are they typically more "slippery"...ie:less drag than an AL prop??

Ouch!!, my back hurts just THINKING of pulling over a 30HP motor by hand!!....

Doug...my boat is a 14 ft tinny with a 15HP 4 stroke. I looked into upping the size...best I could do at the time was trading my 07-15hp for an 07-25hp 4 stroke EFI elec start. They wanted $1900 difference. Then I would need another battery, and some heavy duty wiring to hook it all up. ....a little...

Andy...why trim tabs over hydrofoil?? Just curious. I bought a set of NAUTICUS trim tabs (SMART TABS) to cure my porpoising problem, but when I realised I had to drill a dozen holes in my transom to mount them I put them back in the box. It also appears that they might be tricky to adjust for correc...
