cool thing to do Akri

Thought you bought a hoover craft ?

Hey guys, couple changes of plans up here in Pointe Au Baril. i want to fish all weekend but my partners all just bailed. anyone thinking they’d like to try for some pike and maybe some walleye and crappie this Friday or Saturday in pointe au baril shoot me a pm. I think by fishing day 4 I might be getting a bit lonely lol. to bring - your own transportation to PAB, food, gear and a pleasant attitude I’ll take care of the rest.

Spent quite a bit of time on the water last week. Fish didn’t come easy. A couple of skunkings on walleye, a broken trolling motor, many km and plenty of hours on the water. Finally found some active fish. Got them on a variety of baits with the big swimbaits and soft plastic jerkbaits getting most of the fish. They did not want the jerk bait at all for some reason. The new Minn Kota maxxum performed flawlessly. I should have got one long ago. Love the responsiveness of the cable rive

Ya. Been watching them while driving. Need something to get me pumped up. Nicer weather would help.

I very much like Bush brand as well Brian (when I haven't time to make my own), but it's what I had in the cupboard.

Yeah, we're just taking our time to get up to speed. Give us some nice consistent fishing weather and we'll be out there watching

Nothing wrong with that Chris. Well the bean brand leaves a bit to desire. I am hooked on Bush Beans since the bama byes introduced them to me.

Had some fresh Walleye (all cleaned and pan ready) given to me, made a quick shore lunch type dinner.

I've only had 1 meal so far and it was quite good. I did a lot of research before hand in regards to prep'ing this type of fish, plus my co-angler was experienced with White Bass. With Crappie and Walleye, I simply clean them shortly after catching them, and some I eat fresh, other I freeze for a later day. But what I read and watched on YouTube I needed to 1) bleed them then 2) remove the 'blood (mud) line' from the filet. Both of these steps were new to me but appear to be mandatory to make White Bass a good eating fish. I always batter my fish and fry it in a little bit of oil. The batter has spices ... so if the fish is a little 'fishy' ... it's not noticeable. Crappie and Walleye are so mild, they can be pan fried with no spices other some salt and pepper and they are great. With this fish, for many a little extra spice may be all that's needed.

I did. Got the motor out of it right now. Can't get it back in until the boats finished though.

Siakam!

Hope you find me some Crappie out there? Never mind the Pike! lol

Furless beavers were very rare in the ‘70s.

As one that started with the original Lowrance green box Fish-Lo-K-Tor flasher, really, if you don't have your own boat and probably will just suction cup it on a rental, all you really need to do is locate structure , I'd cheap out at this point and wait until you get your own boat for all the bells and whistles, probably too you will have a better idea by then about what you want in a fish finder.

When I retire I want one of these. I like the ease of mobility of a truck camper over a trailer and don't mind the smaller space. Got to get me a truck to put it in first. though. https://www.lancecamper.com/truck-campers/825/

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.

Getting closer to having this thing done. Marine ply core built and coated with 10 coats of clear. And installed back into the transom. New stainless brackets and 1/4" aluminium reinforcement plate test fit. Reinforcement plate drilled and painted. Stainless brackets painted up. Should be able to get it back together tomorrow. :)

This weather sure is messing up things for me. I can't use my cottage because I need to get a new septic system put in. It was suppose to be done last November but the ground froze up faster than normal. Now it is too wet in the fields for the guys truck to bring the old septic tank to the proper place. I could alway get a Johnny on the spot and put it beside my new neighbours place lol
