Fishery is alive and well… lot of articles say it’s in decline but that’s cause scientist net the same spots for 30 years and see declines… just means those 3 spots the fish aren’t using the same anymore… the river has changed a lot but the quality of TROPHY musky fishing is great… I get 4-5 50” musky a year by accident when targeting walleye lol Early summer look for first drop offs or weed lines outside spawning bays Mid-late summer they seam to like the weed edges on the thickest weeds you can find fall if you can find the big schools of “eater walleye” you’ll find musky close by 10-20’ water produces well and hard to beat perch colours and of course black/orange fish high in water column early morning and evening and work a little deeper mid day good luck

3 days,well 2 now,left for the whitie season on Simcoe. Was with a good friends, John Whyite and Paul Kindly. The goal was burbut. Well they did not show up,but a nice bonus catch on my high hook blood worm made up for it. It just smashed it.

If you’ve got a cable steer style/wireless footpedal like the force…I’m going to recommend running the livescope and not worrying about target lock until some more time has been spent figuring it out. to not be using livescope=you’re missing out. get one for this upcoming season and never look back. Trust me, using it with a Garmin force…you will most certainly put more fish in the boat, it’s not even a question. in some applications, like fishing laketrout jigging in the spring when they are up in <50fow but are still not right to bottom? My goodness remember it’s not just about finding fish either, it literally feels like cheating when you can see the piece of structure you want to fish 30 feet in front of the boat. I think my last 4 tournaments I managed to catch a fish that I literally saw eat, we fished a rail piling on rice in October during a gale, it was effectively impossible to figure out how to approach the structure without live. you couldn’t go right on top of it, the fish wouldn’t bite cause the boat was going nuts in the wind and waves. I marked it with the livescope and got the correct angle with the wind and let the force spotlock and we proceeded to just toss baits at it all day.

The issue is that mega live is a far inferior product to livescope especially now with the LVs34 even the 32 is still better than mega live at current

Good to hear. What kind of maintenance is required?

Been running the same Ulterra since 2018 with 0 issues. Running a tiller (where I am always at the back of the boat) its a great feature when friends or family are in the boat. Then the auto trim is awesome when getting in shallow for snags etc. Like anything you need to take care of your stuff and it will last a long time. Kept in a garage and a small amount of maintenance after every trip keep it working excellent. I almost never use the pedal... the remote works great. Would definitely recommend. What I think the most useful perk is launching and trailering the boat solo. I fish solo quite a bit so personally for me I would never buy another type of trolling motor. No dock needed... no help needed. The video below is literally every time I pull up to a ramp and someone is watching. Good luck with the decision

It was at a Lakair gathering and there's a good chance it was at the Pike Derby, is that right......Aplumma? 😄

Ulterra definitely requires it's owners to keep up on maintenance.

Take a couple of these instead.
