So, I can't remember where I saw it but CO's were giving fines for not having the Outdoor Cards. I can't remember if this was resolved yet. Early on people thought oh just carry the paper but then when stopped they did not have the card. From the https://www.ontario.ca/page/get-outdoors-card It stills states: you must carry your Outdoors Card when hunting or fishing, unless you have just recently purchased the card and not yet received it in the mail. In this case, you must have a copy of your License Summary available. An Outdoors Card is a plastic, wallet-sized identification card issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry that allows you to hunt or fish. You are required to carry this card with you at all times while hunting or fishing.

LOL, I still remember you guys starting that up and the flames shooting out until you fixed the issue. Worked great for a few more seasons after that

I have had that one for a few years. Plastic tub is paper thin, make sure to get runners. I use only one chair but it still has a good weight. Not sure if they fixed it yet but one thing that drove me nuts was the skirt on the tow side. It was not long enough to tuck away and with a tow bar you could not close it fully on the one side. Overall no issues.

nice fish

All set in case of Flood

Will look excellent on his resume

😭beautiful

You can use just one rigger but it would be a pain to use stackers. Get 2 if you can, if not use one rigger and the other a dipsy

I was saved once by the safety chains after a huge pot hole bump at low speed. Always remember those chains

looks great when the tracks go on

amazing read!!

Wow amazing pictures and trip

very sad .. unfortunately a yearly occurance

Nice to see

Notice he had no life jacket on him. He could have flipped got himself killed.

Nice to see, think they will be a little later coming in thick this year compared to last year. Where did you launch out of?

Yes Fishmasters is $10.00 now and he has a system to try and keep track of who pays. Still it's not as crazy as Port Maitland. Its a great place if your by yourself. The good thing is port maitland finally put in the docks so launching looked better. Went out July 4th. Dead calm, crystal clear water. You could see down 20-30 feet. 30C.. Launched at 7am- done by 10:30 and headed to the beach.. not a touch

Its funny normally I do the same always launching at Fishmasters but I thought a Thursday Early, no wind... When I got back in the parking lot at Maitland was a gong show. Good to see the area busy but wow!! May give it another try tomorrow or go Salmon fishing always a tough choice

Thursday AM -- Water was like glass. Pulled Worm harness, Stick bait and small spoon.. Only 1 sheep head.. water was still in 60's Did find lots of marks near gull island. Port Maitland launch is underwater made it interesting by myself.

Lake Erie is a finicky lady - I would stay within a few kilometers from a launch until you get more comfortable. She can blow up in a hurry and calm down just as fast. from the South is harder to hide from the waves. From the north its calm in shore (close to bass fishing) Really If I see the wind predicted to be over 20k, I pass.

I was hoping to get out Thursday AM out of Port Maitland hope the winds co-operate

lol, looks nice Lew. Looking forward to seeing what you make

My only thought and no expert but Temagami is so clear and full of bass. Small walleye have few spots to hide. Once they made it past a stage they are good. Start stocking the lake with Walleye fry to balance it out

Think this year walleye will be a little later showing up on the east side of Erie. Water is still cold. Now if this year the wind would just be a little bit less and we could get out more!!
