    Lake Kipawa Quebec - Blue Walleye

    Thanks very much for the education, Reelpro. You are a great ambassador for your local fishing scene. If I ever get back to Canada to do some fishing you have me convinced, I need to fish in your back yard!

    Lake Kipawa Quebec - Blue Walleye

    Aside from the really cool color, those are some very large Walleye. Congratulations! I don't do much freshwater fishing, but I don't ever recall seeing the traditional golden colored Walleye getting that large. Am I mistaken?

    Big Hearings Regarding Recreational Scup, BSB, Bluefish & Fluke coming up!! Make your voice heard!!

    I realize that based upon the "science" that was presented and playing by their rules the only way we can get to a smaller minimum size is to cut the season. In NY it is already too short for many so that is not a workable solution. Based upon the current way the "managers" come up with our...

    Big Hearings Regarding Recreational Scup, BSB, Bluefish & Fluke coming up!! Make your voice heard!!

    Regarding venting undersized fish, Matt, you probably heard me mention the risks involved plus the fact that so many of the fish die anyway for a few different reasons. By having an unreasonably high minimum size we are drastically increasing the dead loss for the species, which these clowns are...

    Big Hearings Regarding Recreational Scup, BSB, Bluefish & Fluke coming up!! Make your voice heard!!

    IMHO the DEC, MRAC, and all the other agencies who "manage" our fisheries regulations have more excuses why they cannot make the right decision than they have reasons to correctly support either the fish themselves or the entire public, both recreational and commercial interests, Lack of...

    Gulp! Sale

    I too just took advantage of the Walmart sale, today. Really good price on a few colors and sizes, plus free shipping BTW, Matt, I thought I was pretty organized, but your Gulp system puts mine to shame. I will have to crank it up a few notches! :D

    Gulp! Sale

    I believe in the effectiveness of Gulp as much as anyone, but it is true some folks really go to the extreme with the amount they bring aboard. I had to politely explain to the Chef last year the 5-gallon bucket was not just overkill but represented a hazard should that ridiculously heavy pail...

    Magnolia pier

    I love to eat fish, but I have to believe that most of us, me included, do have a few favorite species we prefer on the table compared to others. I agree with Overbored's observation that "fishing is fishing" regardless of species. Isn't that what scaling down your tackle is all about? I...

    Good choice, Matt. I hear nothing but good things about that reel.

    Now that's a handsome reel!! Even matches my boat's logo colors. But with the base cost, not to mention all the super Lep modifications, it is getting too rich for my blood!:D

    Offshore Wrecks

    Yikes!! Those are just 2 of many reasons why I was never interested in wreck diving! I much prefer snorkeling in the Bahamas or Mexico where the water is super clear, and the fish and coral formations are beautiful!

    Offshore Wrecks

    A longtime friend of mine is a serious wreck diver and has visited the U-853 several times. He likes to collect artifacts but told me of one rather unsettling experience when he reached into a crevice on the hull and came out with the remnants of a skull!! Very creepy.

    I was one of the lucky folks that jumped on that special deal for the Catalina. Lep is correct in singing the praises of these super smooth reels. However, mine is even nicer since I replaced those "pink accents"!!!:ROFLMAO:

    Blackfish Jigs and colors

    I totally agree with you, Loonzter, about choosing your tackle and drops to work based upon the speed of the current. Although I may occasionally go as large as 2 oz. on a Tog jig, I also agree with Snapperhead that there is a diminished level of return once you start upping the jig weight. As...

    Blackfish Jigs and colors

    I agree with most of the comments already made plus I would like to offer just a bit more insight. Attached is a photo of the styles of Tog jigs I typically use. Although for some strange reason there are rare days when it seems one color may produce more, I would largely attribute that to the...

    I'm getting whiplash with all the twists and turns this story has taken in the last several months. I bet Paul Rippinger is as well!!!
