Cheers to the gentleman who decided to launch his boat in Port Credit Promenade Sunday at 12:pm noon on a bright sunny day. Such an amazing Sunday, Warm almost summer conditions perfect day for boating in the city. Once the boat was tied off at the launch ramp there was no better place to load your boat. Your right it was a very sunny day better head back to your car and get the sun top . We all felt sorry for you going again back to your car for the 3rd or was it the 4th time and as you lugged the 12volt battery that thing looked so heavy in the heat. I was worried you might have lost your boat keys as you kept going to your car and back looking through bags and cloths? Don't pay any heed to the yelling and shuffling as everyone tried to launch and retrieve boats around you. Yes it was me one of the boats doing circle's trying to figure out how I could dock on the only open side, I was going to wave but with all the boats doing circles I had to keep adjusting forward and revers. Not sure what the other boaters said to you but by your actions it must have been encouragement to make sure everything is perfect for your first outing of the year. Sure if 2020 had been different you might have had a chance to prep your boat in mid May but since the Launch only opened a few weeks ago we can all see your issue. Hope you got it all set as you were still tied to the dock as I left . Thanks LeXX

Jack has caught the fishing bug this year. Loving spending time in the boat with him. He is a pretty good angler and watches and learns really quick.

Finally with the camping ban lifted, I was able to take my kids camping with me!!! I have been camping several times this year. Even got out once before the camping ban was put in place. I don't mind breaking the ban on camping when I am alone or just my wife and i.. But I wasn't going to bring my kids with me during ban. They have been chomping at the bit to get out in the bush! Finally this weekend, we hit our usual early season spot! It was a great weekend, with great weather. Bug were manageable, and actually almost non existent in the wind. And my youngest daughter is keeping her pickerel streak going!! She has horseshoes in uncomfortable places in her body... Her uncle Jeff and her went out together and came back with breakfast! While my son and I in our boat got skunked listening to their laughing and screams of excitement..

weird...this is literally the exact way my mom has always cooked our walleye as well. Some kind of folklore recipe I guess. manitou I also have been experimenting with different ways to make fish. Tacos are one of my favourite foods so I keep falling back to that one every time lol. Salt your batter however you do it. Don’t overlook a nice vinegar with mayo based slaw, chopped jalepeno, chipotle mayo, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

Finally managed to scoop something up! 2000 16’ Starcraft Fishmaster 160 with a 40hp Merc ELPTO of the same year. Has a couple older humminbird finders on it but both are working. So is the Minn Kota Maxxum 45lb on the bow despite being about 15 years old. Has livewell and bilge and vinyl floors and I bought it from the original owner. He gave me his original receipt and all of the paperwork and manuals from 20 years ago. Happy with the purchase and think I got a good deal. Now I need to fix a bit of the vinyl that is peeling on the back casting deck. Any recommendations on where I can buy marine grade vinyl for a decent price? Thanks again for all of the info and suggestions here. FF17

Hi all, This video is from almost 4 weeks ago, internet issues has me way behind on uploading videos. While I love fishing for walleye and look forward to the season opener with great anticipation it does not mean I sit and stare longingly at the open water for three weeks. Bass, Pike and crappie are open all year here and its not long after the last iceberg has been pushed to shore that I head out. Love the spring action, even though the pike were a bit conspicuous by there absence, well the big girls anyway.

That is a mammoth report man! I have only got half way through but will get back to the rest of it, the lake is calling me! Thanks for taking what must have been hours and hours putting that together, appreciated!

It takes time indeed, the biggest pain by far is getting the images sized and cropped, but it’s easier than editing video Like you do weekly lol that’s for sure! Gives me something Fishing related to do while I am down in the GTA with work being slow! thanks for reading!

I am now slipped in a marina. I don't miss the launch ramp lunatics. You should print out a bunch of copies of "launch ramp rules and etiquette" and hand them out. It was likely a new boat owner (or an obliviot) and that might help speed things up the next time. Or not.... On the opposite end of the spectrum, I was at a three lane ramp once and had just arrived at the top of the ramp and was getting the boat unchained and ready to back in. (yes I was 100% prepped in advance. this was simply untying the stern tie downs, removing the bow chain and backing off the tension on the winch strap.). This dork backed down at an angle between the back of my boat and the water, dumped his POS bowrider and tied it to the dock on my side. I had to wait for him to boat away before i could launch. I thought about untying his boat while he parked, but let it go. He stunk like booze and I thought nothing good would come of it.

You're right about that. I bet Wil showed him the spot though. lol.

Stringease licensed some of their product to Mustad! Yes, KVD is a big fan of the product!

Been many years since I fished anywhere around Toronto but when I was a kid we would fish Grenadier pond in High Park. As a teen I worked on Centre Island and the waterways around Centreville were loaded with sunfish and other worm eating species. If Centreville ever opens again you can kill 2 birds with one stone! A bit of fishing and ride the kiddy rides

The 7 goes at the helm so when driving you can have split screen. Gps making and sonar the smaller one goes to the bow you should hook up the trolling motor transducer if you jig you see the bottom and your jig below the front. If you look at the networked transducer from the back You are seeing 16 ft away from your jig. you can run it off the trolling motor battery but I like to run them all off the main battery. In some cases less interference on the sonar this way
