What model of Garmin do you have? Not every model supports mapping. I've loaded the Ibycus and other maps to my 60csx without any problems. If your unit does support mapping and you're still having problems then make sure you're using the latest version of MapSource and make sure your unit has the l...

cprince - you couldn't miss the launch at Ste Marie if you tried. Just follow the signs along the 105 in to the town of Ste Marie. Just before you get in to town you'll see the park/launch on the right. I went for the first time last month after getting directions from another member on the board an...

You can launch at Clayton Lakeside campgrounds. They rent boats too. You can get to Taylor from Clayton, just take your time and watch for stumps... it's really shallow through there.
There's a map link on their website http://www.claytonlakeside.ca/

I read it as he was on there the same day as the classic.

million different ways to fish a tube as you can see from the link above. I tend to stick with just a regular tube jig head, my faves are the bite me tube heads http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_74250_100010006_100000000_100010000_100-10-6 If you're talking abou...

you can but you might find you get some pretty nasty line twist. Try and find a weight with a good swivel on it. My fave are the QuickDrops from west coast tackle.

you got me curious about tubes for drop shot bait... check out the link below. Looks like they are using a smaller finesse tube but mention that they also use bigger tubes with 2/0 and 3/0 hooks.

I've never tried using tubes on a drop shot rig but I'm sure it can be done. I usually use smaller hooks for a drop shot like Gamakatsu drop shot hooks or Owner Mosquito hooks size #1 or #2. Nose hooking a tube may be tough and a 4" tube may be a little heavy to get the right action. For drop s...

I've got charts of that area but they're huge. Did my best to get them on the scanner... you guys want a copy drop me a PM with an e-mail address and I'll send them along.

I think the fact that there's a penalty for dead fish kind of implies it's a catch and release tournament.

Either way, it's like you said... crap happens. Live and learn.

Congrats on the finish.

Looks like some light bags... where were all the MONSTER bass??

I definitely find hook length has an effect on hook up ratio but I guess it all depends on how you fish a tube. Get 10 guys in a room and they'll probably give ya 10 different ways to rig/fish a tube. Flippin in to slop for largemouth and dragging them over rocks for smallies is too totally differen...

I switched from a MH/Fast to M/fast action rod this year for tubes and I've had a much better hookup rate. Using a 1/8 tube head, I think I was missing a lot of pickups with the MH. I like a braid flouro setup cause you can feel everything, but that's all I've ever used for tubes. I also found that ...

Never thought I could like fishing any more than I did until I picked up my first boat this year. Crestliner Fish Hawk 1750 w/ 115 Optimax and SS prop. 67lb Motorguide up front, X67c at the console and Garmin 250 on the bow. I can't get the smile off my face every time I'm in it, I still can't belie...

You're lucky... that happened to me last year and I had to wait 4 weeks for them to send the tip to the manufacturer (Fenwick) for a replacement - and I had my receipt. After waiting 4 weeks and no word from Fenwick I went in and talked to Don and got a credit which I used towards my first Crucial. ...
