Re: For Fun: Things to always have on a boat.

I always have a rain suit. If the fish are biting, why would I want to head in at the mercy of a little rain?!

Re: Fishing Ottawa river with live bait allowed?

Toned, thanks for the response. I fish the ottawa quite often, and have been fortunate enough not to get caught in a situation like yourself, but ofter do have minows on board on the quebec side. I had no idea they were that strict. I will make sure to be more cautious.

Re: ice out?

I heard Mississipi was good to go with no ice, but have yet to get confirmation. I'm likely heading out there this weekend either way. The boat is getting antsy...

Re: ummm Hi, my name is Kerrazy... and I am a fishaholic

My boat is in the front yard, and I sit in it rearranging tackle and practice baitcasting.

I too have a problem. The wife thinks it's serious.

Re: Casselman & Nation River

There are a few launch's. One in Embrun. One in Casselmen right by the dam and a steep one in Limoge. The widest and deepest you will find is in Casselmen where the Nation and Castor meet, your boat would be fine there. I think the deepest Ive seen there was in the 20' range. Could you launch your ...

Re: Fishing joke for today!

lol - nice. Thought I'd add one - we've all been here, no? One day a rather inebriated ice fisherman drilled a hole in the ice and peered into the hole and a loud voice said, "There are no fish down there." He walked several yards away and drilled another hole and peered into the hole and ...

Re: Casselman & Nation River

Hello all,

I'm moving to Russel in less than a month, and want to know how deep Castor and the Nation are. Will I have any problems with a 17 foot bass tracker? Where's the best spot to launch?

Thanks for any help I can get!!
