went to kawarthas and struck out mightily

although Trudeau and Trump are totally opposite people, they are both totally unprepared to run a country...so I do see the parallel.

anyone else have thoughts? I see winds still from the north today and were strong last night. Will she be mud or maybe just a silty greyish greenish hue with a foot or two of visibility?

Although I dislike both candidates, what really amazes me is the "shock" by so many in the states (and elsewhere). Its like so many on "that" side just felt everyone must think like them. Reminds me of when Bush won for the second time. The haters were so vocal they just seemed to believe everyone (aka all the silent people) agreed with them

there is always the kawarthas I suppose!

25 k north today, 40 k north tomorrow...and then 35 k south on Thursday. Thursday is the day I plan to go...so can tolerate that wind. But I wonder if the visibility will be a whopping zero after these big winds from the north. Stained water great...but the chocolate milk I am not a fan of. Would the two days of north wind make it look brown like the Thames out there? Cuz if I want to fish water like that I will drive a shorter distance and do Thames!

Surprised but not surprised. I used to shop there a lot during the 1990's (Mississauga store). I always found the pricing good but I also found the guys that worked in the rods/reels dept...you know the guys behind that counter....to be rude and condescending...wouldn't give you the time of day

I was out there today in the Belle river area. Water is 51 degrees. We got 3 trolling 46, 36, 34. Floating weeds were a bit of a problem but not the worst I eve saw. We trolled around 3.5 mph

right on nice fish

well maybe I will read the manual some time (maybe)

funny you should post this....I just happened to be checking mine out and here is an annoying little glitch: To turn the whole unit on you must use the remote/foot control (as far as I can tell!). The little battery (dime shaped thing) in my remote seems to be dead...so now I can't turn the unit on! Since I am heading out tomorrow 5 am looks like I will be without a trolling motor until I can find time to replace this unique little battery. As far as the communication between the remote and the unit when I have a battery...I would say it is ok, not great. You eventually get used to how sensitive it works. I will be honest, sometimes I don't bother with the control at all (other than to turn it on). I just manually grab the thing by the "head" and point it in the direction I want, after all I am standing right at the front of the boat beside it.

good stuff. Plan to head to St Clair tomorrow, hope we can find a couple!

I can troll for hours. I can cast for hours. But jigging? Ten minutes and I'm done. Not sure why, just can't do it

I hate warm fall weather for musky fishing. Although its a beautiful comfortable day on the water I think the rising water temps throw the fish right off. Gimme a nasty day any day in the fall and I like my odds better

if I was in the US I could not vote for either. 2 terrible candidates in my opinion. Hard to believe that there isn't someone other than an egomaniac or a pathological liar to select from.

on a worm you say...gotta add that to the arsenal apparently

Great picture and congratulations to the 2 of you. I am only on lucky 13

I second Natural Sports if its large walleye bait you want. You want musky bait? Different story...use the walleye you catch

sounds like an awesome trip

Did it once for one day in early June at Head Lake near Norland. This was mid week maybe 10 years ago and there was nobody around, but we did set up a respectable distance from the launch and it was just one tent and one car. Somebody must have ratted us out because cops came to "evict" us around 11 pm. The officer was great, even apologetic. He saw we were polite, neat and quiet. Asked if we had been drinking, which we hadn't. He then rephrased the question..."You've been drinking right....because if you have I can't force you to leave". We understood. Spent the night, then headed to Pigeon bright and early and found the gem called "Big Island". Stayed there for the next two days of our three day trip.

as a kid I would fish the humber in the spring, and like someone already said, all I ever got were suckers and lamprey eels. Used to wade the river in my shorts and sneakers specifically targetting lampreys...found many many babies that met their demise.

awesome!

With the value put on those antlers I would rather have the insurance money than the antlers back! "We found your antlers"....that would be the worst news I could hear!

always nice to get one when trying a new lake

dang jacks, can't stop em
