Motor/Battery Issues

About a month ago, while fishing the Rideau, my boat wouldn't start on the water. I jumped started the battery using my trolling battery and was able to troll for about 15 minutes until my "emergency horn" went off and my depth finder went blank. I turn off the motor and tried a restart bu...

Re: Charleston Lake

Thanks for the replies ... Great info Smitty ... I will hope for a quiet day to try and fish the weed bank.

Charleston Lake

Hi Guys ... I know everyone fishes the lake for trout and bass but has anyone caught any nice sized pike, either on purpose or by accident?

Hi all ... Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I need some advice from anybody who knows about trailer wiring. I have hooked up a different 4-pin trailer and there are no problems, so it's not the tow vehicle. I have a Lowe trailer and the right side lights are not working properly. The t...

Re: Musky combo choices?

Not sure you would want the same combo for throwing bulldawgs and spinnerbaits ... quite a difference in wait between the two. I use a highspeed reel and medium to medium heavy combo for spinnerbaits and a lowspeed reel and heavy combo for bulldawgs. 8 feet is a good length as it makes it easier to ...

Re: Quiet Muskie Opener?

I caught a 33 incher early in the morning on my second cast ... thought I was in for a great opener!!

Unfortunately, that was the only fish I saw for the rest of the day.

Connecting Flyline to backing and leader

Time to try some fly fishing this year... first of many questions I suspect.

What knot is used to connect the flyline to the backing and the leader.

If this has been answered previously, any links would be welcomed.

Thanks.

Yak Recomendation

Not sure if this is the right forum or not (maybe float and fly??) but I'm looking to get a kayak and I was woundering what the "Yak Fisherman" use.

Any hints or ideas on what to look for would be helpful.

Thanks.

Walleye Near Verona ?

Does anybody know if there are any walleye lakes near Vernon Ontario ?

I'll be at a cottage in the area in early June and would love to fish some walleye.

Thanks.
