Now I'm LONG lining....at least 100' back using only 8# test mono....no other weight used....just a small Berkley cross lock snap is tied on the line....nothing else. And double check the lure at the side of the boat....sometimes they run off to the side....not good...adjust the metal clip one way or the other AND not too fast or they will roll up on you. Bob

I like to run the smaller Hot 'N Tots 6' behind the cannon ball over all those rock piles better know a Waverly Shoals....took a TON of LARGE walleyes off that shoal doing that....it seems that the cannon ball triggers the bite because it moves a lot of water down there....then comes that little Hot 'N Tot right behind it....I could see the fish spike on my graph as we moved over them....We catch a lot of walleyes doing this while everyone else is not doing well there...ESPECIALLY if it's calm....Windmill Point is another one of my hot spots for doing this also....taken some nice 10+ lb walleyes off that point, usually later in the year...August was our peak month at Windmill Point. Bob

OH, they dive that deep....I use the smaller ones long lining at the head of the Niagara River where Erie dumps in....I always scrape bottom on 15-17' ridge that I target for walleyes.....not sure about the larger Hot 'N Tots but they have to go deeper....we only used them off the boards in deep open waters (80'+) for suspend walleyes.

Would love to....my oldest live in Beavercreek, Ohio....(Wright Patterson AFB).....your taxes a MUCH lower then ours... BTW we get your water....LOL...via Lake Erie....

THANKS Ohio, interesting reading......

Get a few perch....fillet the belly meat off and there's your bait...

That has to be one extremely piece of DRY wood to pull that off..... And since it may be against the "code" to throw it in the water....toss it back into the woods where it came from....LOL...

I have NO idea what is Canada's largest export....it very well could be oil...I always thought it was walleyes....LOL But I was questioning OhioFisherman who is from the USA (we are thinking about getting rid of that state...LOL) and in his post he stated "According to recent reports oil is one of our largest exports" and that very well could be true as we don't produce much of anything now a days...I just wanted to see that report...

I think we did....I was standing there outside the Science Center waiting in line and this guy next to me was talking about building this Ice Resort that would blow away all other ice huts....LOL...

Don't know about the new Hot 'N Tots but all the old ones I have don't have rattles....for rattles you had to move up to the Wiggle Warts....back in the day my walleye tournament partner and I did field test studies in the High School pool on these lures...(he's a gym teacher)....Wiggle Warts made a LOT of noise underwater.

I already new it was Canada.....MANY here do not realize that....but that's not what I asked.

We have caught TON of walleyes here on Erie with Hot 'N Tots....the small ones and also the larger size....you should try a couple....walleyes like to almost swallow the smaller size Hot 'N Tots. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Storm174-Hot-N-Tot-Lure/1164591.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dhot%2Bn%2Btots%2Blure%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=hot+n+tots+lure&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products

GREAT looking puppy......we had a cocker spaniel for 13 years "Alex"....great dogs... Bob

Paul is just giving you guys a "hard" time....his rod is a short rod.... ....and his box is a .....well I wouldn't go there this early in the morning.....

Skeeter, I think I seen somewhere (Holmes Inspection's) that according to the "code" if you have a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector you MUST install a sprinkler system too....

And don't forget Tim Horton's.....here in NYS it's advertised now as "Tim Horton's Cafe and Bake Shop"...(even says that on the cups)....the first couple of times I heard that on TV I thought they were saying Cafe and Bait Shop.....honest...but in the Great White North it's just plain old Tim Horton's....what's with that... ...guess you guys already have enough bait shops....LOL P.S. get that pipeline going....but this time bring it right to my house...

Do you happen to have a copy of that report...

I tie my own for the last 30 years......what I have learned for walleyes in Lake Erie....#4 CHARTREUSE Colorado Blades with 5 orangish/red beads....elsewhere (inland lakes) #2 Colorado Chartreuse blades with only 3 orangish /red beads.....you want just enough beads to completely be covered by the blade so you get a complete contrast when the blade revolves around the beads....so in my case it's seen orangish/red-chartreuse. I use to use 12 lb mono line but now with all the zebra mussel areas I drag them on, I had to move up to 20 lb fluorocarbon. I find 2 razor sharp Gamakatsu Octopus Hooks do the job nicely....expensive little devils but sticky sharp. Most all other colors work too but making them all pretty and nice looking catch more fishermen then fish....

Have you tried Big Caribou Lake.....

I tend to agree.....built NOW and we'll settle all the problems before we turn it on....win~win...

The winner gets the worms.... All you get is a at a boy...

Well first you should need to know the overall foot print of said hut....then calculate the foot print into foot pounds per square foot...then you must find the density of said ice and divide that into square inches to find the square root of said ice....with all those numbers figured in I still would have no idea....LOL..... but PLEASE be careful on the ice. Bob

RIGHT on the camera....WRONG on the location....so no worms for you...come back one year....

CLOSE....need a more descriptive answer to win the worms....

I took my two boys there at that age.....back then they measured the boys height and then put that in their computer with their birth dates and it told us how tall they would be when full grown (6' and 6' 1")....they hit the nail right on the head with both boys....
