... thanks to all advice on this board. I'd say we were succesful for our first trip to quinte. my budy managed to bag a 8.5 lber, more by luck then anything, although we did put our time in. It was just after sunset and and we were messin around with the yellow bird planers (which actaully worked s...

Holy crap! this board rules! ...thanks for all the good advice boys! going to try out the yellow birds as I can't justify buying addtional ones when i have these...yet. once i start swearing at them this weekend then we'll see. A budy of mine that i'm going with is on the construction project to bui...

Hey Furious; heading to quinte this weekend for the first time (Picton) and trying to get an idea of the equipment needed, wonderin if you could give me some advice. The thing i am struggling with is the capacity of reel I need . We will be flatlining. I got a 7 ft med-heavy action rod with a 10lb-2...

What were you using, Markus?

Great eye! Question (reminded me when I read the report ... I was meaning to ask this), what the best way to make (or the best place to buy) a quick strike rig?

Curious...how do you know it was the same fish (marking, scare,...)?


"I'll have to go back and check...didn't relize there was a fish."

(lol... good 'un)

Want to hear a wacky technique? How about dangling believers out of the water. Trollling in a thick soup fog with about 10 ft visibiity one morning and going by the depth finder (cause we can't see shore). came up on a hump that went fro 30 ft to 5 ft we had no idea where we were. so we stopped and ...

Holy cr*p crazy ! 10-16" !! have you had any luck (consistently or otherwise) on baits that size?

justbass2;
hard them called that. ling are supposed to be great tasting too. I have heard if you fry them up with some butter and garilc , they taste similar to crab. mmmmm, anybody ever try em?

HEy phitty; have you ever tried down a bit by carlton? tried there last weekend after a class. water was high and moving fast. tried bouncing a tube off bottom, then threw a bunch of hard tackle at em....nothin. Thought I might of had a hit on the tube but my line was to slack to attempt a hook set....

Great king, FF. Just curious, when you say eastern tribz are you talking ones that run off of the St.Lawrence? I am originally from the Soo and miss the kings from the St. Mary's river...

Amazing! Awesome how they get to look like that. Another great looking fish is a spec around this time of year. Love to see a post of a male if anyone goes out for any.

we were in there a few weeks back doing some exploring...no other boats in there, seemed to be 8 fow across the whole thing and weedy. didn't mark any fish either, but looked like great bass territory. we opened it up and didn't hit anything, maybe got lucky

ahhhhh, gotcha...thanks, HW!

I have heard, I think on Fishin Canada or Real Fishing, that moving a fish straight backward and forward (not the S pattern you describe) is actually bad for the fish. Their explanation was "how often do you see a fish swim backwards!"

gettin a little off topic (sorry if I am taking away from that beauty FF), I understand being confident that the fish swims away strong, and I if I was lucky enough to get a beaut like that I would definetly stay there until it did that it (as HW prescribes) .... but ... what is the difference betwe...
