  1. Super happy for you to have come out of it on the right side. That took a tonn of work and courage and I'm sure help from others. Totally agree with finding alternatives to medications such as fishing. All the best to you and congratulations for finding your way.
  2. I agree with everything you have said here mindful angler. I think everybody struggles sometimes... I know I do. I am also no stranger to the opioid crisis as I have lost family members to this and have felt the effects of it for many many years. I definitely use fishing as a form of therapy without even thinking about it. As you mentioned, there are so many benefits to fishing. I also believe music and learning an instrument can have huge benefits as well. Trying to figure out a song or just jamming with friends or alone can be a great way to stay in the moment, but not as good as fishing!! Haaa!!! Peace!!
  3. So true Steellee! Bugs flying around in February... unbelievable!
  4. Thanks Steel, I run a slip float down there playing with different depths and lead lengths constantly... I saw that sw come in, hopefully clears up sooner than later
  5. Thanks bass man, mixed bag really... beads, streamers and roe for the most part... just when and where?! Haa!
  6. Thanks Tyler. Ended up 32 for 40 in a handful of trips down to the gorge. Can't complain forsure
  7. That's yesterday... regardless you'll get lots of fresh air
  8. Ok mine is working now! Strange it didn't work before. Liked the old images much better but way better than nothing
  9. Unfortunately that website isn't working for me... only shows up to 2015...
  10. Does anyone know a good website which shows the satellite image of the great lakes (niagara river)? The NOAA modis satellite website seems to have changed their format and I am struggling to figure out how to use it properly. Thanks in advance.
  11. I've used lots over the years... just seeing if anybody knows a specific brand of especially soft plastic for running weedless so the hook can be barried deep but then easily pierce through for hook ups... most of the plastics are relatively hard. I remember Charlie Wray promoting some really soft plastics but I can't seem to be able to track down that specific episode
  12. Does anybody have suggestions for SUPER soft paddle tail style swim baits... wanted for fishing weedless... thanks in advance!
  13. Had a riot forsure! Endless walleye and pike but the grayling was unreal!
  14. Ok thanks genec. I guess I was after some actual info and not the two bit motivation speech... anyways... I hope you nail them the next time you get out
  15. Nah man! You gotta dial it in as much as possible when you are going to get up at 4 am and pound until dark then drive home through toronto traffic... no slacker here and don't care for the couch comment.
  16. Hey guys! Sorry to hear about the rough morning, I know the feeling. I come in from toronto as much as i can to fish the niagara. I was 50/50 about fishing it this morning but saw it was blowing sw around 25 kms all night. It seems to me at least, that since that giant wind event that Erie hasn't truly settled and seems to murk up quicker right now with less wind than usual. Anyways... hope the next outing is a little fishier!
  17. I'll take it Smerchly! Yes, 4 fish limit, 3 under 18 inches and 1 over...
  18. Oh ya! That big pike hit while jigging for walleye with 8 lb florocarbon on and no leader. Pure luck it made it in!
  19. Thanks Smerchly! We fished for 6 days... one day was a near right off cause of super high winds... we caught approximately 60- 70 walleye one day. Almost all of them 20 plus inches. Some of the other days were just plain tough! Possibly the smarter choice would have been to dial in on the pike because they were active but we were there for the pickerel. Had a beauty shore lunch with eagles all around.
  20. Made it to the algoma area with my Dad. Mainly fishing for walleye which proved to be a challenge for the most part because of the weather . Once we finally pin pointed the walleye there was big numbers and they were willing to bite. We didn't fish for pike very much but when we did they bit! Thankful for the adventures no doubt!
