I am getting ready for the start of fishing season and I was in Calgary so I decided to stop in at the new Bass Pro Shops store there. All I can say is wow! What a store it has anything and everything you would need for the outdoors.
I spent a few dollars there on some new tackle this year. Right now I have two trips planned one to the North Saskatchewan and then one to Canoe Lake.
To fish on the river I picked up some Pickerel rigs and imitation leeches. The leeches are by Berkley and they say they are better than the real thing so we will see in 12 days. I have always used real leeches, but I am really not a fan of picking them up with my bare hands, hence the switch to the fake ones.
For the trip to canoe lake I picked up some planers. I have never used these before but according to Richard Mellon these will increase your fish catch. How they work is by taking you hook away from the side of the boat. By doing this fewer fish will be scared away from your hook by the boat. I hope it works because I dropped $80 on 4 of the things.
Thats all for now. If anyone has advise on planers or using leeches and pickerel rigs feel free to respond to my post.
Happy Fishing!
