So the big VIP event yesterday offered 20% of Cabelas branded products. Not bad. This morning I got an e-mail notification that they're having a sale...20% of all Cabelas branded products in-store and on-line. Ok, so the VIP thing was not so special afterall. :? But, going to the website there is so...

They are running a shuttle from the CTC parking lot every 30 minutes on Sept 22nd. Amazing that there will be that many people rushing a retail store but not something I would be interest in doing. If it's that busy on the 21st, I'll just wait a few weeks until the novelty wears off. I've been to th...

shiit. I assumed mine was an ad for the actual opening and tossed it. I actually want a Cabela's tackle bag so the 25% off would come in handy.... Do you know if it says you need the card to get the discount? I did the same though just dug it out of the black box recycling. The card says it's an in...

Was out a week ago Saturday upriver from Almonte - looking for perch/crappie and really just getting in a first paddle. The water was relatively low though not quite summer levels but as you noted, the vegetation is weeks behind last year. Nothing much is growing in the water. The small (scrawny) pi...

Understood - sorry to hijack your thread.

The Outaouais is the national capital region. Not to get into a debate but the Outaouais is most definitely not the NCR any more than Ottawa is the NCR. While I hate citing wiki, this sums it up pretty nicely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outaouais Looking forward to info on the tournament. Thanks.

Rideau crappie were biting today. :) I caught over a dozen in 30 minutes or so and threw back a handful of the smaller ones. The rest will be dinner tonight. First time trying them so should be interesting. Excellent. Where on the Rideau and what bait are you using? Small yellow/orange jighead (1/8...

Sounds interesting. I Googled to find this http://jenda.com/store/content/83/Derby-Rules-2015/ which seems to be the info for last year so I assume the same structure. Good info for those of use who are new to the game. One odd question that plagues me when reading about the KAAO. Why is an associat...

Well said. I did the same sort of thing yesterday. Drove to Carleton Place and spent some money at Baitcasters. Good deals and a place that provides a service to the community year round instead of just once a year. Don't get me wrong, shows can be great but if they are vendors rolling through town ...

What does 'same as last few years' mean to those of us who have never been to the show? I hate paying 8 bucks to get into a building to spend money. Seriously, if Sail or Baitcasters had a cover charge, would you ever go in? :D So bottom line from you folks who have attended in the past, are their d...

Yup, we can thank Leap Year for the late openings. Darn you February 29th!

Great write up. Well worth the read. I'm into kayak fishing in the most cost effective way possible. My kayak is no where near top of the line - not even sure it's a brand name - but it's a ton of fun. It also leaves a bit more money on the table for rods and reels. Can't wait for the water to warm ...

Just a heads up for anyone considering the Costco 13.4 ft kayak. The store in Kanata has them on sale today for 299.97. Generally, the "97" signals a one day price reduction. If you want to get into kayaking on the cheap, today is the day to do it. BTW, I have one of these kayaks and thoug...

The must be a movement going on; first year with my kayak too. Only been out once so far but going tomorrow (and possibly a short run later today). Great fun and an awesome way to get to the fish. Plus you get to be creative rigging the vessel. This video has probably been posted before but this guy...
