Have you ever caught a Shad? I know it's weird but I'd like to catch one to see one up close. I'm also in a year long multi-species fun tourney with some pals.

I guess that fish is toast. shame. Check your knots and gear

Thanks Darryl
Do those small tags or tile style have the range that you'd need? Seem to be bluetooth connected. I need to look at it more

The recent search and rescue on Erie as well considering boat thefts in the area has me thinking about a gps tracker for my boat.
Can anyone recommend a good gps tracker that they've used? Ideally I'm looking for something subscription free.... but maybe that's not possible for a decent and reliable unit?
Any insight is appreciated.

try the jet diver on a sliding dropper line, like a 3-way rig, as opposed to rigging it up in line with your mainline and lure. That way there is no drag pulling on the back of the jet that could cause it to flip or roll. Your lure is attached to the mainline with leader and barrel swivel whatever length you want, the sliding dropper line is attached above the barrel swivel on the mainline, allowing the diver to work

This was a great one Lyle

Tyler that's interesting. If fished it a bunch throughout the summer and it was super disappointing. Still learning the spot myself.

I used corn from the freezer. yeah gobies don't seem to be around till things really warm up. Once they're around I go to maize.
Great info here. I may need to give it a go.

I'm with you on that one Clieth ! I had a beauty red 16' cedar/canvas Prospector some years back . It was a little too 'tippy' for my liking in choppy waters .
My 16' alum.square back freighter canoe has kept be 'above' water for many years .
That sounds perfect

My son and I tried Ramey's last evening from about 5:30-7:00 and were completely skunked. Some loose schools of baitfish came through but didn't stick around too much. On my camera I think I saw only shiners.
Lots of twix and mountain dew consumed..... so still successful as far as my son is concerned.

Thanks fellas, just wondering if anyone has any insight or theories into how the numbers could go from pretty good one year to pretty terrible the next.

I'm hearing that the smelt ice fishing is lousy so far this year. Not many smelt and they're all dinks.
Are the the good numbers of smelt a cyclical thing? Any other factors that can be patterned?

FYI Binbrook Cons now open for ice fishing. Binbrook | Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (npca.ca)

They are still lowering water level for annual lock maintenance. And we had rain here on Sunday which ruined Saturdays skim of Ice.
That's perfect, hadn't considered that. A few factors going on then. Thanks,

Hey fellas, I drove out from Binbrook this evening with a spud bar, hand auger and measuring tape to check the status on the rec canal near the dog park and rowing center. I understand that it's only been real good ice making weather for a little while but more locally we're really near 4". I suspect with the overnight temps this week that we'll be there shortly around here.
So I was pretty surprised to see that the rec canal had large sections of open water. In front of the rowing center it was wide open..... geese and all. I didn't walk out or spud bar at in the areas where there was nice black ice because the shoreline was thin and sketchy.
So I'm asking.... is there stuff to know about the rec canal like water currents, warm inflows or the 30' depths that just take longer to chill? Why would there be open water like that when every other inland lake is locked up?
Any insights are appreciated.
I enjoyed it last winter for the first time with my kids. That was near the end of Jan and into Feb with a confident 4-1/2" or so.
Thanks

Thanks for the reminder ....I fish for perch in cold weather and keep them alive in my pail while fishing . If I only have a couple I'll release them . If I have enough for a meal I'll drain the water from the pail and bring them home .Most times they will revive in the cold water in the laundry tub , then they will be cleaned and meet the frying pan ....can't get any fresher than that ! While ice fishing perch I've seen them almost frozen and come back "to life" in the tub . Hopefully the mnr wouldn't have a problem with waterless fish in a 5 gal pail .
Hey that's pretty cool. Amazing they can bounce back like that. I think they'd only take issue if you're transporting them back in water and it looks like you're trying to keep them alive. Good work nice system
