I'd also be curious to know the reason for the cancelation, as I know how hard it can be to organize a group trip, not to mention get kitchen passes from the wives. I bought a group on for that outfitter a few years ago, but unfortunately wasn't able to arrange a date with him to use it after severa...

Hi guys - I've got a Humminbird 571 HD DI portable that I use on my canoe and my little tinny and it was giving me bizarre depth readings during an outing a couple days ago. On closer inspection I noticed the cable immediately above the transducer is frayed. Does anyone have any experience repairing...

I have another meeting tonight but I'll try to pop by after as I'd like to meet some of the FH'ers. What time does this event tend to run until?

I also fish from a canoe, and when it's a little windy and I'm drifting too fast, or having trouble controlling the canoe, I throw a drift sock out the back. It slows me down, and holds the canoe perpendicular to the waves, so they roll along the length of the canoe rather than capsizing it. Now if ...

The Ottawa Citizen and Sun are always looking for good stories :lol: And ever since the Lemonade Stand Incident, the NCC has been going out of their way for good PR. This could be a good opportunity for positive PR, or a repeat of the Lemonade Stand incident if they choose to ignore this request. Ju...

Given the forecast, are we likely to see some shacks stranded out there? I was out before the weekend, and it looked like a couple of trailers were still on the ice...

Hi folks - I was lucky enough to run into Scarkner out on Shirley's Bay today, and I can attest that this auger was very impressive. He loaned it to me to drill some holes, and it outperformed my gas auger. I was a skeptic, but he turned me into a believer! Thx again for letting me give your auger a...

I remember I caught one 21 years ago while electro-fishing an area of the South Nation. I think it was almost 4 feet long, and was hunkered down in the bottom of a deep crack in the bedrock. He wasn't very happy with me for shocking him, and when it broke the water the girl I was working with freake...

We had a discussion on this a couple of months ago, and I think a lot of the guys were going to Carleton Place for bait.

These are some great suggestions. I'm definitely going to try the frozen fish from Lapointes, as I often use just the head on a spoon. I may also try keeping my own minnows, if I can keep my kids from turning them into pets. When I was a kid, I used to keep central mud minnows in my aquarium, and as...

I wonder if a local tropical fish store would be interested in setting up a bait tank. It would require them to open a bit early, and to set aside a large dedicated tank or receptacle, but otherwise the skills and technical capacity would already exist. Might be something they could consider to expa...

Men - since my favourite bait shop Bits and Baits closed in Stittsville, I need to find a new source for bait. I believe there is a shop in Carleton Place, but does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm in Stittsville, and usually fish Shirley's Bay when I can get out, so I'd rather not drive to an...

Beautiful rowing dory Pinerider. Did you make that yourself?

I've fished Peterwhite in the past, and carried my canoe and gear down the hydro corridor to the far end of the lake, so as to not trespass on the cottagers properties. With a house full of young kids, I don't get out to fish these lakes as much as some of the other posters to this site, so I haven'...

So long Gord, and thanks for all the fish! Bits and Baits will be missed.
