Even tough I'm not a fan of ice fishing 5 months is a lot without fishing so it seems like I have to adapt. I was thinking at jigging for walleyes and maybe doing some drop shot as well but mono lines or FC have lots of memory and are not such a good transmitter when it comes to vibrations therefore...

Thanks for the answer but I would like to know what jig weights do you use? Do you throw 1 to 2 oz jigs ? I have a rod for 1/4 -3/4 oz do I need something for heavier jigs or something for lighter ones ( like 1/8-3/8) ? I don’t really know how deep the river is and how strong the current is and I wa...

Well I hope this is not a taboo subject :D Thing is , one of my favorites blank manufacturers is currently having a promotion on which I would very much like to take advantage of so, any advice is more than welcome at this point. I do accept private messages if you consider to be a secret the rods y...

Looks like you caught a nice sauger there as well (fish in last picture). 1st one kinda looks sauger-ish too but cant really tell head on like that. Well done, dinner size! Yeap, the last one was a Sauger indeed but in the first picture it was a Walleye. Here is another picture of the same fish : 6...

The females love to party at night. Go to your spot at night and you'll likely pick up a big fat female. :lol: Thanks for the tip ! I've tried a couple of hours after sunset as well but with no luck. It was a bit cold as well :) On the other hand I don"t know the hours during which the Power P...

Since I've only got to fish the Ottawa River from the banks this year, I kindly ask you guys to give me some tips about the rods most suitable to jigg on the Ottawa River from a boat (because this is my plan for the following year). Im talking about rods you won't get in the boat without, in terms o...

Another week has passed and I managed to catch a few more snow walleyes again. Moon was not in a major phase so they, just like their European cousin were showing the same behavior hitting the lures with their bodies instead of biting. After taking a couple of them "by the hand " ( as I li...

Thank you all for the kind words, it was caught on the Ontarian side near Alexandra Bridge. You can actually have a better look of the area in the short clip I managed to do with my phone while I was fighting it. You can find the clip on my rodbuilding facebook page (see signature) as a comment at t...

So, one week later, a piked up my rod again and went back to my walleye spot for more fun. I was hoping to be ice free so I can fish a bit, even if I won't catch anything. I went prepared with lots of new soft plastics, some ice line, and my walleye rod. If they are biting it should be fun. My secon...

Thank you all for your support ! It feels good to be part of a community like this one. Here are a few more pics:

Well, ice fishing is not really my thing . I have next to no knowledge in this field, I’ve barely put together some equipment last spring and I have no buddy to fish with during winter ( I do have my wife as an excellent team mate during summer but she hates cold weather ) .That being said ,I can pr...

My first year in Canada is almost complete so starting with the first snow of the year I found some time for my first report here. Usually, back home, I used to go out searching for big northern pike when I use to see the snowflakes falling from the sky . This is just what I have done here as well s...

Thank you both for your quick replies . I kind of get the idea . I will think about it . What if one buys something used ( like from a eBay auction) and is no bill there ?

Hi can anybody give me a hint about how much will be the taxes and custom fees for a 600 C$ reel imported straight from Japan ?
I would appreciate any info on the subject you might have. Thank you .
