• Topless Bay
• Topless point (both are on the same lake and I happened to have the great view on the same day in both spots, many years ago.)
• Cliff's corner - 95% of the time he gets a musky there.
• The Trough
• Musky Alley

Nice job on the report Cliff.

A great time as always, lots of laughs, tons of food and the fishing wasn't too bad either, enough to keep the interest up.. The campfire was a real treat this trip, really enjoyed that Bernie. Looking forward to the next trip already! Need to see if we can update Joe's sheephead pic. LOL!

Rubin??? Rubin who?? You were missed Rubin, we needed someone to sweep up. Until the next trip gentlemen!

EDIT - That is friggin' hilarious Mike!!! (and true.) Hope you're feeling better soon, you really deserve it with your behaviour this past weekend. More importantly, I hope that Bernie, Joe and I don't get it.

Looks like a fantastic place! Too bad the fishing wasn't better but it looks like the family time more than made up for it. Nice report!

I can't help ya with this one Linc but have a great trip. Hopefully someone with chime in here or via PM. Post a report when you get back, good luck!

Awesome way to spend some time. Very cool Bernie!

Just have to be constantly reapplying it as we are licking our lips, drinking, eating and thus removing it without even thinking about it.

That looks like a great summer!! Well..except for those "damn tourists" LOL! That video is a family treasure. Thanks for sharing it!

Have you tried a magenta filter for the underwater camera Mike? Suppose to help when shooting in greenish water. There are a few videos on YouTube showing the comparisons of shooting with and without one.

I have one of these.

I have one of these as well.cheap, easy to install, and is on it's 3rd season with no signs of wear. Picked mine up locally at West Marine. Just follow the instructions and remember to remove it when not in use. Should only be hooked up when trolling, not when running down the lake.

Fantastic!! Now relax and enjoy!

Awesome video Mike!!

I recently acquired an older 6hp, 2-stroke, long shaft for my 17ft boat as a kicker. Plenty of power to troll for muskies and can slow down nicely for the eyes. You'll be fine with that 7.5.

I can see how this would work quite well and not too bulky. A line counter on your reel would give you a general idea of depth or marking the "ball" on the fishfinder would allow you to see if you are in the "zone". Could mount a line counter on the "rigger", would not need a heavy ball either. What are you using for release clips? A stacker clip might be a good option a couple of feet above the weight. Does this mount in front of you or behind you in the canoe? Might be concerned about the "rigger line" getting caught in the electric motor while trolling along. (nay need a longer "boom" to help keep it away from the motor) Would be nice to see some pics of it rigged on the boat.

It is a cool idea!

Lots of info here to help you out.

Cool video. To post a pic, click on the image icon (below the smiley face and text colour icons in the reply area) and put your link to your pic in there. Nice pike.

Awesome day for you both! Good on ya Pete for offering that day of fishing!!

They dont NEED anything, but WANT everything these days.

 

S.

So very true, really sad as well.

Should have read this post first as it seems you have your crew Cliff, great news.

I'd happy to give you a hand as well if I didn't have plans in place. I would think that you'll find a few to lend a hand from our fishing community. Hopefully the weather holds off for you.

And drink lots of fluids.

I find I cramp up way more if I neglect the fluids.

As many have said above, hydrate yourself - and not with alcohol. I've heard that bananas help as well but do we really want bananas in the boat? I use to get them really bad and found I wasn't drinking nearly enough. I couldn't tell you the last time I had one just by increasing my water intake.

I've seen guys put these on their boats and at a fraction of the cost.

Excellent report Ryan!! Happy to hear the Fish-A-Thon did well again this year! Looks like life is treating the family well...except for Luke perhaps and his motion sickness. Hopefully he gets over that. I know that I use to have that problem. Cars and boats were not good to me when I was little. Big boats and rough water continued for along time. Couldn't tell you the last time it was an issue though but it's not pleasant. Thanks for the report!

Looks like a great day! Congrats on the job as well.

A seasoned pro already, VanDam better be looking over his shoulders as someone is looking to take him down a notch or 2.

Looks like it all went as planned. A great day on the water for sure.

Fantastic! Always nice to see kids having a great time on the water....even if they are more interested in the fish in the livewell. Good on ya for making those firsts for G's best friend.
