Well I have a lot of Can.T gift cards thus why I lean towards Can.T. Yes Can.T is overpriced on thier regular stuff as I have noticed over the last few years (I think because of the GST/PST change) they slowly bumped up thier pricings so that thier weekly sales look good with the sales.

I tend to use a K.I.S.S setup with 1-2 or sometimes 3 hooks line setup with worms or corn but also looking into proven lures that work in winter and all season.

I have seen some videos by Dave Cantebury (if you have seen the 1st and 2nd seasons of Dual Survival) and he has had http://www.youtube.com/user/wildernessoutfitters/ playlists for many years. I like his common man style and approach to his videos and while he does have a store that sells stuff he does not push his stuff on you and offers many other options to do things. Also Dave is based in Ohio so his environment/terrain pretty much mirrors Toronto. He has a series called On the waters edge.

I also follow a fellow by the name of BushCraftBartons who hails from Quebec and has an awesome channel and a seasoned woodsman.
