#283662 New trick learned

Posted by efka on 07 September 2013 - 07:08 PM in Steelhead and Salmon Fishing

put some tension on a rod and use your other hand to grab a line and pull like you're shooting a bow. release fast. barely fails.

#279605 simcoe finest

Posted by efka on 25 August 2013 - 02:28 AM in Ontario Fishing Reports

They don't die unless you pull them out very fast, hook deep and hold out of the water for too long esp in summer. I always keep the net in the water and unhook. Lately been using barbless hooks for fast release.

#278810 simcoe finest

Posted by efka on 21 August 2013 - 10:53 AM in Ontario Fishing Reports

still sounds like a lot of fun but the lake looks like you were getting some swells....how deep were you hitting them?

 

no waves at all, juts some boat traffic wakes.

 

dude you were supposed to tell me if u went! Nice job!

 

might hit again this sunday, 6am on the water, will let you know for sure

 

Nice natural fish dude

 

fought like a champ compared to stocked ones. was hoping for 20lbs :cry: 

 

Nice catch! how deep?

 

105ft




#278338 simcoe finest

Posted by efka on 18 August 2013 - 03:03 PM in Ontario Fishing Reports

another gorgeous day on the water, probably last shot at lakers until ice. it has been harder and harder to trick these buggers.... hopefully it will pick up again before closing.

current in the bay made the fishing tricky as it moved the lure more than 10 ft to the side.

went 3/6 with few dozen chasers in between.

one to end the day.

#278031 Backlash with mono on my baitcaster Help please !!

Posted by efka on 16 August 2013 - 01:20 PM in Fishing Gear Talk and DIY Corner

you think or it slips?

set the drag tight and pull the line, you will know 100% if it slips.

even if its slips it wont slip so much to create nests

it has to do with your adjustments and casting technique

#277803 No luck! New at fishing.

Posted by efka on 15 August 2013 - 08:08 AM in General Fishing Discussion

start from basics. what size is your hook and your line? any leaders?




#277690 Braid with leader for pier salmon?

Posted by efka on 14 August 2013 - 12:52 PM in Steelhead and Salmon Fishing

run the mono/fluoro leader at least 2 ft. not only it gives you little stretch, it's easier to notice damage from teeth before loosing a spoon.




#277689 Line bouncing off reel and line twist

Posted by efka on 14 August 2013 - 12:49 PM in General Fishing Discussion

you can go in the park and drag the line through the grass, but if the spool is too full you will get same results.

after a number of casts the line will be twisted again....

 

move to braid..

#276015 Mill pond in richmondhill

Posted by efka on 01 August 2013 - 02:15 PM in GTA Urban Shore Fishing

was driving there in the evening few years back and saw one guy fishing, out of curiosity stopped to see what he was catching.... to my surprise he was getting crappie right under the light near the dam. he said there were tons of bass in the pond north of mill pond.




#276008 BaitCast PROBLEM! Help!

Posted by efka on 01 August 2013 - 12:59 PM in Fishing Gear Talk and DIY Corner

read this and this

 

btw did you use any backing on the spool so the braid line won't slip?




#275926 BaitCast PROBLEM! Help!

Posted by efka on 31 July 2013 - 06:55 PM in Fishing Gear Talk and DIY Corner

try to describe your problem more clearly.

you said that the reel locks yet gives you bird nests because the reel still spins, how is that possible.?




#275886 BaitCast PROBLEM! Help!

Posted by efka on 31 July 2013 - 03:11 PM in Fishing Gear Talk and DIY Corner

if you get bird nests that means the spool is not jammed. the problem is in line, it gets stuck somewhere somehow.




#275870 BaitCast PROBLEM! Help!

Posted by efka on 31 July 2013 - 12:51 PM in Fishing Gear Talk and DIY Corner

seems like its either the knot on line or the line wraps somewhere on one of the guides.

 

throw out your lure and when it locks inspect the line
