Hey I’m just looking for some help, we typically do a spring family fishing trip to BOQ. We are having a hard time finding lodging this year. Any other lakes people could recommend? We are 10-12 people half of that kids and mostly inexperienced anglers other than 2 in the group. Just looking for som...

Hey everyone we were out at the renegade bass academy on Saturday night. They talked briefly about the added requirements you need for in your boat when fishing the American side. Just wondering if anyone has a list of what all you need? Or a link?

Hey everyone I am thinking of going out fishing next weekend, is it to late in the fall to get one last shot at bass?? I am think of going to big Rideau, just wasn’t sure how low the water was or if the water is to cold?

Your knot is the issue, palomar on fluoro is usually a big no no. Been using the Shaw Grigsby knot for fluoro for a few years now with great success. I don't think the knot has an actual name, but google Shaw Grigsby fluoro knot and you'll easily find the info needed. Thanks I found a few videos of...

The problem most likely is how you are tying the knot. I use 7 & 10lb Sufix Castable Invisiline Fluorocarbon Fishing Line as a leader on 20lb Power Pro braid. I use this to fish Neko Rigs, Wacky Rigs etc. I don’t have knot failures. When you tie the Palomar Knot the first important thing to do ...

Although what Ed is saying about the hook set is spot on, I think your bigger issue may be you are using a Palomar knot for fluorocarbon line. That knot has a lot of friction points that will heat up if it isn't wet enough and with the double line going through it so tight, all of the line my not b...

When you tie the knot on fluoro, you loose at least 10% of the line strength, so now you are down to a 9lb leader. Also, fluoro doesn't like a shock, so on a snap hookset the line is liable to break. In dropshotting you should be using a fine wire hook so the traditional "reel down and hammer ...

The line was curled; so I know it’s happening at the knot/hook area

Just checking are you using standard fluro for your leader or are you using Fluro Leader. Real Fluro leader is extruded differently than standard fluro and more abbrasion resistant. What brand of fluro are you using? I like Seaguar. I was using just standard fluro, not the leader stuff I didn’t kno...

Hey everyone I am turning to all of you for some hell and advice. This summer I seemed to be having an issue with my senko rig setup this summer. I was using 10lb braid as a backer with an 4’ 8lb Fluro leader. I tied the weedless wacky rig hook on using a palomar knot, I always changed the fluro to ...

Hey guys looking to go out this weekend for my first crack at crappie fishing, trying to decide between lower Beverly or Charleston lake. Online it says there are crappie in both water bodies but since it’s my first go it’s probably best that I go to a waterbody where my chances are best. If anyone ...

For me it’s drop shotting, understand the set up and mechanics of it but never know when and where to use it... live 5 minutes from the St.lawrence and know lots of guys do it out there but I still have lots to learn, I’ve been spending the last half of the winter doing lots of reading and watching ...

The boat is a 18’6” princecraft deep V, aluminum not fibreglass so shouldn’t be as heavy to push as your glass bass boat, I just get confused on the battery category area, so that reserve capacity is how long it will produce at full load? When adding he two batteries together do you add both batteri...

This winter I purchased a minnkota Terrova 80 for my boat, replacing the old 12v trolling motor, so I need to add a battery to my setup to accommodate the new 24v trolling motor,I understand the wiring aspect but I’m a little lost on what battery I will need and how to tell how long they will last e...

Thanks for the replies guys, unfortunately I can't make the seminar tomorrow night, went to the first one on the np big Rideau and I thought it was great, scheduling just isn't my friend tomorrow.. I did some reading online about using the sonar in my boat, didn't know that you can actually pick out...
