I was 14 in '64 too, same year I remember going with a friend and his parents to their place just south of Point au Baril, near Brooks Landing at the end of Dillon Road, same thing, rocks everywhere and many in a place you would not expect, middle of what you would think be open water.
Sometimes you just happen to hit one of those special days. Was out on Sunday with a buddy and we probably caught 25 walleye along with a number of incidental bass, muskie and crappie. Kept one of the smaller walleye for dinner.
I got out last night after work for a quick fish. Just got out on the water and were welcomed by a monsoon. Filled the boat half full of water, but we stuck it out because those darn fish were going to be biting! Then we battled the wind. We did boat 12 walleye in the couple of hours we were out. Thank god the sun showed up after the down pour. Caught all but one trolling.
you cant trust "open water" with a GPS its not so bad because for the most part you can follow drive lines, aside from that though all bets are off. There are random rocks in the middle of huge basins. By far my favourite shoal in the lake though is the one right smack dab in the middle of the shawanaga river. You can drive straight down that river and its between 15 and 35 feet the whole way and just as you are about to get into the opening theres a rock that spans across the entire river. Easy to spot non locals when fishing in there. They always try to run right over the shoal. Im usually a nice guy, if you slow down and are respectful as you pass me fishing Ill warn you...if you blow past at full throttle, you are on your own. Ive seen a few lower ends taken off.
wish i could help you on the rpice
I will tell you that we owned a 95...? Johnson and those electrical issues didnt seem to go away. Wed buy another computer for it and it would fry itself after continuous use. got to the point we were replacing it every year. Dont know if its the same issue, but I just know it sucked when the thing decide to quit on us while we were out fishing one fall and we got stranded at night half an hour down the lake from home.
holy friggin cow that dude's OCD is intense lol
My son and crew were out trying to get the grass cut today, he got a sun burn ( 86 degrees ) and got hit by about 15 drops of rain, 30 miles away? Severe storms and power outages.
