PainInTheBass: Rod Ratings 101 - A Crash Course in Fishing Rod Specification Nomenclature
http://paininthebass.blogspot.com/2011/01/rod-ratings-101-crash-course-in-fishing.html
Rod Ratings 101 - A Crash Course in Fishing Rod Specification Nomenclature. I am a fishing information slut. I absolutely love to go online and to learn as much as I can about the sport I love. I visit message boards; read articles; blog. I can't get enough. Why don't you just get out there and fish if you love it that much? You are just making up excuses! Adventure, excitement, a Jedi craves not these things. Rod ratings are generally described by 3 items:. Rod power refers to the stoutness of a rod....

PainInTheBass: 2011 Hat Trick!
http://paininthebass.blogspot.com/2012/03/2011-hat-trick.html
At the start of the last fishing season, I had set some goals for myself. While I am by no means, a professional angler; nor do I compete in any tournaments; I still am the type of person who had wants to improve my skills in doing those things in which I will spend a lot of time. Fishing is one of those things. I did it once. One ice fishing trip. Again, I repeat, ZERO fish. Back to the soft water. 1 This will be the Year of the Soft Plastic. 2 Thou Shalt Keep a Fishing Log. 3 Don't Gimme No Lip. 2 I wi...

PainInTheBass: 2010 Grand Slam Challenge Review
http://paininthebass.blogspot.com/2011/01/2010-grand-slam-challenge-review.html
2010 Grand Slam Challenge Review. So, in one of my first posts, I introduced the Smoke on the Water Grand Slam Challenge where if anyone of the BASStards who are taking part successfully catch and verify a 4 lb bass, a 5 lb walleye, a 10 lb pike and a musky of any size, they are entitled to any fishing related item up to $100. Anything above $100 is paid for by the winner. In 2009, only 2 qualifiers were caught - Sir caught a 4 lb bass on 2 separate occasions, and Duk caught a 5 lb walleye. Im in to win.

PainInTheBass: Baitcasting 101
http://paininthebass.blogspot.com/2011/01/baitcasting-101.html
I took this from some posts I made on a few different fishing forums with some basic guidelines to learning to cast with a baitcaster. I am actually just getting lazy and running out of material. This recycling is a common thing for me since my friends say I rcycle jokes. As long as I find myself funny. I hate you all. I got my buddy using a baitcaster this past weekend. What I told him to do was tighten all of the brakes first as well as the cast control knob (the knob right under the handle). Typically...

PainInTheBass: July 2011
http://paininthebass.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
I must apologize as I am the worst blogger ever! It has been almost a month since my last post. Has it been almost a month since my last fishing trip? Yes But have not blogged about that yet. So, here goes. For the Canada Day Long Weekend, we decided to have our annual Cousins Camping trip! He was fishing hard, but had nothing to show for it except for some missed strikes. I was really hoping that he would pop his custom rod's cherry, but its virginity remained intact. Links to this post. The OFAH Ontari...

PainInTheBass: Lake Scugog
http://paininthebass.blogspot.com/2011/06/lake-scugog.html
This weekend is the last weekend in June, which means that it is bass opener! This is like Easter and Christmas combined! It is like Baby Jesus is climbing down chimneys all around the world and leaving chocolate eggs for all of the goo d little boys, except more awesome because it is fishing. To the internet I went, and then it hit me like the tail of a freshly caught fish - Lake Scugog! Here is a pic from http:/ www.kawarthaanglers.com/. Here is some info from Wikipedia:. The lake was formed when Willi...

PainInTheBass: Guys Fishing Weekend Fall 2009 - Ahmic Lake
http://paininthebass.blogspot.com/2011/01/guys-fishing-weekend-fall-2009-ahmic.html
Guys Fishing Weekend Fall 2009 - Ahmic Lake. This fishing trip was set up in the fall of 2009. We found a cottage on Ahmic Lake in the Muskoka Region, and went up with high expectations of trophy pike and bass. With me on this journey was Sir, Spam, Knot'Yo, Emmanuel, and two others who I will call Windsor and Blindside. What was going to be the weekend of fish became the weekend of poker. It is a good thing that we brought food because we would not have been able to feed ourselves! Stick to fishing stoc...

PainInTheBass: Canal Toe
http://paininthebass.blogspot.com/2011/05/canal-toe.html
The days leading up to thew weekend were somewhat unstable weatherwise with rain and fluctuating temperatures. The day of was sunny and hot (for me) at 20 degrees Celsius. We got to the public boat launch and hit the water. For this outting, Sir and I were joined by our wives, Pink and Musky. Fishing started off slow, and would remain slow for the entire day. That does not mean that we did not catch fish - we did. And it started with Pink. Sir caught a nice little pike as well. All in all, the day was gr...
