You need to go to Bay of Quinte it's about 2 hours from the border. It's not a wilderness place and can get ruff. But a short trailer will keep you fishing. So how many fish if you throw spinnerbaits all day 20-50 from 2 -5 lbs. If you can worm and jig fish my best day is over 100 and then there Northern pike, Trophy wallye, huge sheepshead and everything else. The season opens at the end of June. If interested let me no.

Don't try Automotive silicon spray, it's oil base and the reel majic is veg/fruit spry. I don't think it's avaiable to the general public. Garnet

Take your oil check screws out. One will have a magnat look for chunks. Look at the prop there might be little pieces of rubber between the hub and spline. Should be lots of lower units around cheap. Garnet

Send then to troops over seas. My bass fed. has a program. Garnet

And Charlie is a crack smallie guy always a threat around Lake Erie. Garnet

Charlie tells a story about reading bassmasters eating cereal and telling his Mom about being a Pro fisherman when he grows up. Great story came true. Garnet

Don't forget your Transmission cooler cheapest $100 you will spend. Garnet

Being accurate is very important B/C has small advantage on your entry no advantage on accurcey. B/c has a hugh disadvantage with light baits. Spinning has hugh disadvantage heavier than 1\2. You can skip well with B\c. Spinning has a hugh advantage skipping. Spinning can use a wider range of lb. test. So if you are weak with either B/C or Spinning today is when you need to start working. Garnet

Got to do both and that means educating your pointing finger, yes you can feather that bait down, pin the line and ease it into the spot just takes practice. Now with Power Pro you can up your line size making a spinning rod just as deadly as a B/C. When you can switch back and foreth with ease your possiblitys open up. Garnet

Power Pro then you never need to look again. Garnet

I try to never leave them sit to long. Back the drags off and lean agains a low cofee table. Garnet

Smalies in the Neighborhood I,II they just keep me awake at night. Garnet

A buddy just went from a Serria to full size Tahoe and said gas mileage is better on the Tahoe. The new ones cut back cylinders on the hwy. He also tows a 225 zx Skeeter and it's not even there. Garnet

You will miss a lot of fish if changing speed is not part of your game. Generally largies are a little slower and a more helpless speed/look to cranks and Smallies on the higher end of speed and changing speed. Most of my Largie cranking with spinning is with a 2000 reel and most Smallie cranking with spinning is 4000 reels. Garnet

Lowrance color codes the cables. If your connections are grey/blue and your new unit has grey/blue you are good. Garnet

If you always go to the bank and fish things you see a fish finder is a waste. If you turn around and look out theres more fish but you need a fish finder and the ability read the fish finder,run the trolling motor and fish. It take a lot more skill and definitly worth it. Garnet

Years ago I had grey tint Prescipitions so it was a $400.00 choice to move amber/brown. I see better in all Light conditions. Fish really show up better. Next time I will be getting new frames so your search interest me. Garnet

Go back 1 page and find a thread "Knots when to use" theres a link th animated knots. Garnet

If this is a reel that has line on it and the spool is full now. Take 35 pulls off. Just get the line in one hand and pull 3ft pulls. Tie your power pro to the line and spool tightly. I use a paper towel. Power Pro will not groove guides. This a back in the day thing when superlines were made of kevalar. Power Pro is spectre and that platic bag you get at the store, same stuff. Now if it's a new reel Wal Mart is a good place to get cheap mono, just get about the same dai. Remember you can turn Power Pro around so if you have a 150 spool and you are using 100 ft. at a time thats 6 fill ups. Using to full spool is a waste of money in normal casting. Garnet

Take the line threw the eye, pinch both lines about 4 inches above the eye. Let the tag drop below the bait. Hold that tag and spin your bair around, put the tag threw the 'V" above the eye and up threw the loop at the top. Giver a spit and cinch. Garnet

Your result are what I've found from fishing to much..............have you studied leader knots Allbright,Surgeon ect. And I'm truly not happy with any dropshot knot with flouro. Garnet

I refuzed a guide that wanted to throw live minnows to get the bass biting. You can see this guy on the Pro Tarpon Tour. Also seen it in Tennesse. It just doesn't interest me. Garnet

Just home from work. Blew out next door and my place. 60 days until I semi retire March 31 will take summer off and get hobby job in Oct. Wack them walleye ice fishing good and beat on the Steelhead when it was a little warmer. Garnet

The best thing I've read was in a shore fishing salt water book. "If you control the wind you win" So start with a killer trolling motor. I've also started the big motor and put it gear and streer with the electric. And the people that think a butt seat impairs there fishing don't fish big water. Then a logging chain dragged will slow a boat down with some speed adjustment. And also attract fish some times. Drift socks at least 2. Then Anchors at least 2. Those power arm anchors are cool just way over priced. So you need all these things a some time and a little creativity. Garnet

If you turn the handle when the drag is pulling you create line twist. It's a nature of the beast thing. Garnet
