So, the rod I was using for my flipping stick is really bush league. It's a heavy 7'6" Abu vendetta. I spent a lot on my equipment but cheaped out on my flipping stick. Big mistake. It severely lacks sensitivity and frankly it really bummed me out that my flipping game is going to be total bunk...

Sorry, I erred in my previous post - that is the knot for tying your flouro leader to your bait/hook. I realize that is not the same as tying to your braid mainline. I used the wrong terminology but what I said I think still applies. If you want an easy knot for tying braid to your leader, try these...

I was just talking about flouro leader vs straight flouro with plowjock. Yesterday on the Big Rideau I broke of three times. I had purchased sunline flouro leader and started to use that instead of maxima flouro leader. I had also used seaguar trout and steelhad leader. I broke off three times. Nev...

I need some direct coordinates to pin point on a map.... anyone?

We keep all our crap in the boat ... including Maverick's cigarette butts and my plastic cigarillo tips. However, the odd sandwich and apple cores go overboard. Ripped plastics usually stays on board. It's discarded in the recycle bin. You can always find one or two empty Tim Horton cups on the Mis...

I might get hit on the head for saying this, but I think it is irrefutable that these baits are not good for the ecosystem or the fish that are ingesting them. As said, some species are more susceptible than others. For me personally, there really is no debate on this - It's a simple fact that We ar...

LMAO - Had to google that one, and absolutely it looks like the same fish I caught - and this is why I should always be taking my camera on the water with me (duhhhh.) I thought it was a "blue walleye" that I have heard about but never caught. Now I wonder how many of those are just Sauger...

Just wanted to acknowledge some good advice from Yannick sent via PM helped me this past weekend on the Ottawa River. Definitely grateful for the tips and as usual Yannick's advice was "as good as gold" for those O.R. Walleye. Thank you, Yannick. It was surprising to me that I never had an...

FYI, these new Yum drop shot baits are money in the bank: http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Yum_Warning_Shot/descpage-YWS.html http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Yum_Kill_Shot/descpage-YKS.html Also, very positive reviews for the 2015 Fenwick Elite Tech Bass rods, in the 6'9" range. http://www.tacklew...

Hello Fish-Hawkers. I'm heading out onto the East Ottawa portion of the river tomorrow and again on Sunday probably, any suggestions for general areas to target for Walleye? Bass are my specialty, I don't target walleye on the Ottawa very often. I'm looking at Blair road near the islands, Petrie Isl...

6 am pre sunrise.jpg I grew up catching monster LM in the Kawartha Lake systems, and honestly it wasn't until I moved to Eastern Ontario and got into some of the stronger Smallmouth lakes that I truly fell in love with that species of bass. A largie, he is a pig - he is going to eat your bait no ma...

OK, sorry for the delay I have been busy filming and writing and getting on the water in my spare time from work, so things have been very busy. Since this was originally posted I have heard from a few people over time. Please, if you are interested in getting together respond to this posting and I ...

You guys are crazy, spinning rods can never be replaced!! Drop shot Dragging tubes Wacky rigged senkos Blade baits Spy baits Jerkbaits Hair Jigs Flukes I still find it hard to believe there are bass fisherman out there today that do not drop shot :roll: Exactly. My spinning rods make up half my ars...

Lookin' good there bud. Let's see if the weather cooperates this week and maybe we can hit up the Ottawa next weekend if you are up for it.

Cheers

I am going to include Float Tubers just because I want to see you out bobbing around in the Ottawa River... I want to get something organized out on the water in late June or early July, not too sure what the format will be, this will depend on interest. Keep PM'ing me, I have already heard from num...
