Great fish, but I wonder...
Is it OK to dangle a fish of that size by the jaw? If you're going to release it, shouldn't you get a hand under its belly to support the weight and keep it from thrashing around? I don't know, but it always bothers me when some TV pro does that, too.

I just Googled Trainyards, because I had only vaguely heard of the place before. I'm disappointed: it seems like a crappy location for an outdoors store, especially if you live in the west end. I doubt I'll ever shop there. It's a short skip off the Queensway and is certainly more accessible than L...

My endless project is restoring my little camp on the Mississippi. I like the work, you can't beat the location, but the temptations are great. Like yesterday, when my son and I went out to get started on one of the many jobs that remain. It was a gorgeous day, there was a room full of fishing tackl...

I've been yak fishing for 15 years or so, just using a standard sit-inside recreational boat (Perception Caspia) with a detachable rod holder for trolling. I find it easier to handle, paddle and position than my canoe, which I rarely use any more. I find the yak holds all the gear you really need, i...

As usual they are going to the wrong side of town. I wonder if they even bother talking to some locals to find out where to go. There is a lot of fishing/hunting stores out west and none out east what are they thinking? Pretty hard to support the local economy when all stores are 35 to 60+ minutes ...

Re: fishing dept's
Thanks for that, Jim.Big Jim wrote:Just a quick note...BPS stores floor plans are based on the market they are located in and they only average about 20% fishing.
Take Care
BIG JIM
20% of a BPS superstore is still a heap of fishing gear.

Yeah we need another impersonal big box outdoor store in Ottawa. The small shops we have are too friendly and well priced. :wink: While I greatly appreciate your cliched view, the fact is we don't have any tackle shop or outdoor store in Kanata. Unless you're talking about friendly, intimate little...

Kanata would be a great location. Lots of local customers, plus for Ottawa folks, its on the way to the Rideaus, the upper Ottawa, the Mississippi, Madawaska and Bonnechere, the Land O' Lakes cottage country, Algonquin Park and the back country of Lanark, Renfrew and Frontenac counties. Yeah we nee...
