Never say " come fishy , fishy ! "

Boater drowns off Crystal beach on weekend ! Boat apparently capsized ; life jackets do not work unless they are worn ! Boater was apparently with his grandson who was rescued .

Many of our recent fish have been on a free slider not fixed ; length is important for us 5 to 6 feet , longer tangles more less for us does not work so far but worth a try !

Re; fishing solo . Some of the best company I have had has been fishing solo ! If you can take a kid fishing great company !

Off the mouth of the Niagara river ?

Attach to the lower lip , run the boat slowly with the lip gripper tied to a rope tied to the boat . Watch the fish should eventually start to swim on its own THEN release it ! If it does not start to swim probably done in and should be harvested . Saw a fresh floater last time out , sad to see !

Define " bad gas " Laker 1 ? I always filter my gas and use octane 92 [ no ethanol] gas ! The Yamaha dealer still advised the fuel additive !

They make the rules take it or leave it ! I fish a lot solo and will not enter those derbies !

Last year I packed in my 2cycle OMC kicker , 8 hp. for my 16 ft. StarCraft , spent the money for a 9.9 Yamaha and have not looked back ! Stern weight was not a major problem . You tend to get what you pay for !

Bottom line as posted ; if you do not know what it is release it ! No such thing as a stupid question !

Port Dalhousie !

Bottom line IMO , as previously posted proper set of the DRAG is the bottom line ! Lost too many fish with snubbers !

Start by keeping all hooks sharp !

Ditto on custom 1

Ditto on lure retriever IMO
