Great report Superdad! Some nice fish there.

Hey Cliff,

Get the tires off the ground and give them a spin, if it is quite your OK, if noisy you need to do the bearings. Also check the tire for any play in the wheel, try to twist the tire left to right, there should be no movement. If the trailer is sound and the lights are working, bearings are pretty easy to do but you don't want to be towing far if they are in rough shape. Lights can be a pain trying to trace down a problem. In the past I've just rewired the trailer, should be good for a few years after doing this. If the tires are cracking then replace them. Rust can be a problem depending on the age of the trailer. Find a galvanized one if you can, worth the extra money IMO. My next trailer will be galvanized. If it's a newer trailer with a bit of surface rust, shouldn't be a problem, just a bit of paint to make it look good and slow down the corrosion.

Good Luck!

PS - If you need some help with repairs I can help you out if you need it.

WOW!! A couple of lucky bikers and one deer. Cool video.

If you get down to Oshawa at any point in time, Gagnon's has them if Bridgenorth doesn't work out for ya.

Well I didn't get out this weekend but my buddy Mike did and sent me the following picture. A PB for him at 24 pounds!!

Now I wish I had gone. CONGRATS bud!

By the sounds of those winds it was a good day to be at work. Time to go home now. Good to see that everyone seemed to enjoy the day. I'll enjoy the overtime on the next pay cheque!

Congrats you 2! I'm just leaving work and thought I better see if you came up with anything today. I'll keep my eyes open for a trailer as well. Enjoy the new ride!

PS - Good on ya for helping them out Gerritt.

Just curious, I'm at work or I'd be fishing. Weather looks great here in the big smoke, warm and overcast the when I came in this morning. So what's your excuse. Now back too work for me.

Yep, trolling big baits all day does burn out the arms. What I'll do is start off with a big bait like a 10" Jake or believer and when the arms get tried I'll go to something smaller for a bit and then back to the bigger bait. We had a day a couple of years ago where the 10" Jake hot. 2 boats, 4 guys, 8 muskies in about 6 hours of speed trolling (7-8mph) with the big baits. The arms were very sore at the end of that day but well worth it.

Nice job on the "tiger muskie" Terry! lol!

Great report and pics!

I was wondering who uses rod holders while trolling or not? Personally I have only started to use them when using inline planer boards. While trolling I prefer to hold onto the rod and be able to feel what's going on. Whether it be a Lindy rig, a small crankbait or even a big Jake or Believer, I've always liked to feel the fish slam the bait.

What's your preference and why?

I should mention that I'm more of a caster then a troller but both have their time and place.

A buddy of mine had a 7 poundish pike on Balsam this past weekend and lost it at the boat. He also had his first tiger muskie the week before all of about 3-4 pounds. He wasn't sure if it was but the guy he was fishing with varified it.

I've heard of serveral pike being caught in Balsam but in my hundreds of hours on that body of water I yet to get one myself.

Well if were talking about 4 letter words and all, you might as well post a pic as well Pam. Weather porn.....

HH - Good point! I was thinking muskies while walking the dog this morning though.

Well here's a 44 inch muskie that I caught recently and weighted in at 17 pounds.

And this one was 46" and weighted in at 20.5 pounds.

You maybe close on your guessimate Terry. I was going to be generous and give it a 15+or- pound weight but it does look shorter then 42". Hard to tell with the fish curled up. Great to see the little guy getting a fish of that size though!

Cliff, you're too funny! lol!

Words cannot say enough.

Looks like that underwater housing is working good for ya! I can't wait to see the rest of the report!

You've got a pm.

Joe, we're here for you. My condolences to you and the family. If you need anything, just give me a shout.

I'll be arriving most likely Friday night with Headhunter. Hopefully earlier but work is very busy these days.

Thanks for the tips so far, some great info. I'll pass it along to the others in the group.

Thanks!

Both were

Have to agree.
