Rapala J 11 , J 13 chartreuse ; with the gobi as a forage base J 11 ,J 13 black / gold : J-Plug Kelly green black ladder back : Lyman chartreuse black back [ remove the front treble hook ].

Spoons I always start with a NK 28 silver/black/purple [ Peter's and Grimsby Tackle still have some get them before they are gone !]

Long leads ! Good luck !

SPRO is not sold in bulk !

 vDitto on the " Lindy Spinner Wrap Kit "

Ditto ditto on quality swivels ; I use  SPRO .

Probably not the same ! J-Plug " clones " have not done much for us apart from Lymans [ with the front treble hook removed ] ; not an exact copy the line does not go through the plug .

A #5 [big] white flo black ladderback took a 12 lb. brown 2 wks late for the summer derby [would have been 1st place at $ 500 ] ; western lake O.

IMO Humminbird !

Great topic and some good pics !

Rule #1 If you don't know what it is don't SHOOT it !

Have stories of pets being shot ; trespassers walking dogs off lead etc.

Not like any coyote I have seen in NOTL Ont !  [ have seen ~ 100 apart from colour they are all the same ! ] Maybe coydog  or wild dog .

Did a long push for coyotes 01 / 30 ; many coyote tracks only ONE rabbit track [ 01 / 30 ] We have another push from the " SPCA " types wanting to close OUR hunt !

NK 28 silver green / chartreuse tape .

#2 J-Plug #5 flo white black ladderback !

It is the different opinions that make this site :Use what WORKS for you . IMO colour rules for Chinook salmon ! Cannon ball colour black rules !

What cal. of rifle ?

Thanks for reply BSmaster !

Define " half the turkey guns sold in NYS are now illegal " ? News to me !

Thanks for post ; what about the Remington 597 17 cal. rim-fire semi- auto [ " cases may split do not fire will give $200 against the purchase of another Remington ] maybe a 700  : no thanks ! Gave mine to a dairy farmer to protect his fields from geese !

Have been hunting coyotes with a passion for ~ 15 years [ ie the only good 'yote is a dead one ]in NOTL Ont. never heard an even similar story ; always the opposite ! Questions I have :

#1 Could they have been coydogs ? The hybrid can have the worst traits ie. little fear of humans and can pack up to attack !

#2 We hunt coyotes with rifles and shotguns which definitely spooks them if we miss ; with the arrow being almost silent so not the fear factor ! I use a loud whistle when pushing coyotes which may be a legal form of protection .

#3 This may be a changing pattern of behavior which has to be addressed with firearms !

Started early AM with " ruptured " goose call [ every coyote knows geese don't have guns ! ] later followed by hand held bellows type rabbit call ;  saw two shapes coming to the call not coyotes . Two prime bucks finally stopped ~ 50 yards from us deciding I was no rabbit and trotted off !

#1 grandson asked why we did not shoot them ? Only archery in our WLMU for deer ! What colour is stupid ?

Ditto with much above ; from what you post pass on the cut bait [ too many variables eg. commercial packaged , bulk buying DIY brine etc. the guys do well with " meat " have it down pat you won't ]

Move up to the DM. Spin Doctor and AT-TOM-IC fly .

PS. the only problem I have had with my Remington 870is that it shots were I point it ! 

If you want better u will pay more ! The gun will not let you down as semi-autos can under severe weather conditions . Quality chokes are a major issue but the costs will ad up !

Rule # 1 with shotguns is to pattern the gun   with your chokes and loads

Mine works just fine !

Also heard the story " Has Been " ; was a reason that a charter captain from Penn., USA did not use them when I showed my NK green /dolphin 28 that was working for us . Not sure what one had to do with the other but ditto on the " lives ruined ".

IMO the " redos " do not work as well as the originals eg. the new Lymans have not worked for us ; the originals caught fish this year [ with the front hooks removed ]

NKs still available retail at Peter's St. Catharines and Grimsby Tackle ; if you want them get them before they are gone !

For us south shore of Lake O. Ont. ; don't leave home without black/purple running an AT-TOM-IC ditto colour fly !

Thks for the suggestion TileMan but a German shorthair is not an option !

#1 grandson [ 13 yoa ] has bonded to hunting [ " better to take the kid hunting than to go hunting for the kid ! " ]

 His mother has interest in getting him a dog ; we have a fully trained Labrador . If he sees it he gets but generally will not point .

What is the general opinion on the Brittany , the few that I have seen at the hunt club have been great workers . The dog would also have to be a house pet ?
