Re: Fish Tagging

The answer to why I would want to tag fish is simple. Data. I would love to really know how my fishery is doing over the course of many years. I'm a nerd.

I have contacted the QC ministry and am waiting on their response. Thanks guys.

Fish Tagging

My cottage resides on a small private lake in Quebec. We have only smallmouth and panfish - but its the best smallmouth fishery I've ever been on. I've never seen such a small body of water produce so many 4lb'ers. I want to keep it that way. I'd like to start tagging my catches and recording info w...

Fish Finder Power Source

I have humble boat. Just a little 12 foot Sea Nymph and a 6.5, and a transom mount trolling motor. I love it.

Re: You'll Always Remember Your First

haha yeah I messed up the hold amidst the chaos and adrenaline... but I'm perfectly OK being used as the example of what not to do, if its teaches a few greenhorn anglers what to do. Maybe it'll save a fish or two. I've never even targeted Muskie specifically but you can sure I'll be casting weedlin...

You'll Always Remember Your First

Holy smokes people, I had a great day on the beautiful Madawaska Lake. First muskie ever, on maybe my 20th cast of the morning using a 1 OZ chartreuse spinner. I got a little wonky on the gill hold but I made sure she was OK, and real healthy as she kicked off into the weeds. What a great feeling! h...

Muskrat

Heading to Muskrat tomorrow. Never been. I'll be throwing mostly for Pike and some bass.

Any tips on lure selection or maybe even a spot or two?

Re: What was your first baitcasting rod & reel?

Shimano Curado 300E 6:4:1

St Croix Medium Heavy fast tip.

Spent about $550. Had buyers remorse for the amount I spent. Then I used it. No remorse, you get what you pay for.
