#283444 Scugog by boat or on shore?

Posted by Swing4Steel on 06 September 2013 - 07:48 PM

Oh ya I forgot to ask. Do you really go out in the dingy alone? I've seen some odd things while fishing, but never a mid-20's blonde girl in a dingy fishing out in the lake by herself. I don't mean odd like you shouldn't be out, that's awesome, just not a everyday sight out there.

#272166 Casino Rama, Orillia

Posted by Swing4Steel on 03 June 2013 - 08:22 PM

remy give it up. you arent the OFF police.   leave it to the mods. dont  you have some parr trout (VERY SENSITIVE TO MISHANDLING!!!!) to give the sand death grip out of water?

dugger the  chip of rama arent native to the area. they are transplants. i used fishing at the narrows can be tough after the derby. the marina owners ease off a bit during the derby but they get sticky about fishing after may 24. you can rent boats at blue beacon marina at the narrows i think.

OP i pmed u with a spot

Care to explain Chase? I see no change in the rules...

basically CC gets to erase the names of rivers he choses or may fish, but other places like the whirlpool he lets slide?

#271347 replacing treble hooks with single hooks

Posted by Swing4Steel on 23 May 2013 - 09:31 PM

you will have better hookups when the gap of the hook is wider than the profile of the lure,especially the front hook. this comes from muskie fishing where we bend the front treble to a "T" instead of an even 120 degrees, on round or flat bottom lures. that way the hook protrudes beyond the sides of the lure when the hook lays back on the set. im sure this applies to your situation as well.

  there was i time when i fully believed a single siwash was getting better  hookups on my jigging spoons for walleye while ice fishing. i was finding  when you set on that single point, a little farther in from the lip,( the siwash, being wider gapped than the appropriate treb)` you get better connected and the hook hit home. ive kind of shied away from this lately, but a lot if my buckshot spoons still have the singles on it. i was not using singles to inflict less damage, it was just to acheive better hookups. i didnt notice any major difference in damage between one barbed treble or a single hook. most salmon trolling spoons have just a single siwash hook.

 i will agree sometimes the three trebles on a larger stickbait can be a pain.

 ive mentioned the "siwash" hooks a couple times and ive found they seem to be the way to go . the ones in the pic are a bit large for the bait. try to find a shorter shanked brand, similar in size to the full width of the treble that came on the lure. they come with the eye partially open so its easy to put them on the splitrings, and the barbs bend down easy enough.

there is a place you can go look at them if the water is right, but it is defcon 6 top secret. please dont target notty sturgeon. i believe they are listed as a threatened species, but are basically endangered. most times tangling with sturgeon as a bycatch result in hooks left in the fish

cmon buddy you arent seriously asking for help to catch a sunfish? part of fishing is figuring stuff out for yourself, not being spoon fed patterns for sunfish.
