Hello everyone,

One day, I was pike fishing with my baitcasting gear. Used a big smelt, and I got snagged up, so I started to pull and tug, and it freed. So I'm sitting there for a while and I was watching the...
If they're following it and not taking it, try a the same pattern just a size smaller. It was suggested to me a while back, and it worked great.
Smallies are great, but can be a pain at times :)...
Sometimes I fish barbless, sometimes I don't. Just depends, how lazy I am. But, I've caught a couple really good sized smallies this year, and two of them were on barbless. It's all about tight...
Couldn't have said it any better myself:)

Wtf Joe? I thought you said you had to figure out how to use it? Looks to me like you're a PRO!!!!!!
Great work!:D I agree with Mr. Castwell.

I'd love to fish in the winter. Especially since all these tips are helpful and make it easier to do so. The only thing that'll keep me from doing it is, well making the drive to the water to do...
Thanks for all the replies. Those links pretty much summed it up. I'm not doing any fishing come winter:) It gets in the -20's almost all winter here. With the exception to last winter. Only a...
Hey everyone,
How many of you fish in the winter? I'm guessing quite a bit. My questions are about line and tippet. Do they get too cold and break? Do you need special mono or fly line for...
I showed my lawyer what John had said. He called the broker and spoke with whoever was in charge. I recieved a phone call today. Saying that we got off on the wrong start. Apparently, they're in...
John,
Thank you very much for the information and what to ask. I'm going to copy and past it into an email in the morning and send it to my broker. And explain to him that you're my consultant...
I thought it was a bunch of BS. I did what you guys suggested. But, I called my broker first and told him I wanted to speak to the owner of the brokerage. I also called the insurance company...
Other good news is. I threw out some trash and in our bin, was my tying materials. 99% of it all was intact and fine. And my vice was put away and was never even touched. So I still have all my...
A big congratulations!!! And a big evil stare:) Carp make me so angry hahaha. It's just not my time to catch them I guess lol.
Keep up the good work:)

Bamboo as a first??!?!!!?!?!?!?? Wow! My hats off to you John, well done!
I built my first, and liked it. It's certainly a lot of fun fishing a stick you've built yourself than fishing one you...
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the comments. More touching than what I've been hearing from everyone else lately.
So it seems, because I have registered a business name (Just so no one would take...
I was visiting some family members a couple hours away while my wife was in the US with some of our other friends.
We were musky fishing with casting gear so I left all my stuff here. When we...
Very nice maps!!! I love it. I have a question, maybe someone can answer. How come the detail is better on some spots than others?
Thanks for the link, it's wonderful!

I've given up FF and went back to wormdunkin.
Went to the bridge today, the one in a previous thread. Stained/muddy/still water. Can't catch a damn thing fly fishing it. My son and his...
Summer I'm finding is definitely a great time for top water. Anything that pops. I've been playing around some with of my own patterns and been having an ok time. Today, I tried something...
Rainbowchaser, I'm actually planning a trip in Sept to her place, as I have to pick up some snakes. Next year in July should be no problem as well!! Sounds like a good plan to me:)
This year...
I have a lake close to me. Somewhat. Anyways, it produces nice pipe, bass, perch etc etc.
I usually worm dunked it in the past with minnow or worms. Or both! But since FF it, I can't catch a...
Just an update.
I went out fishing the other morning. Good ol listerine. Was still attacked by deer flies. But only in the spots I didn't hit with the listerine, a spot on my arm, behind my...
No need to bathe, just re-apply a thin layer each day and you're good to go!
Haha, you crack me up Paul. The stuff does work, I use the blue. Whatever it is.
I used to use the skin so soft...
Hey everyone,
So my wife, tells me the other day to use listerine to keep away the bugs. I called BS and laughed. She said "Fine, don't believe, use the DEET and watch your pretty $100 line...
