Mike, every single report of yours, for lack of a better word is very simply spectacular. I've been watching this stuff for a long time...way before the net ever arrived. Every single 'review' that you've done, aside from the oohs and ahs from readers, have made upstarts and established fishing/outdoor destinations flourish. Mike, I really don't know what to say after I've read one of your trip reports...what with the factual accounts, super photography and always some beautiful historical accounts of the destination thrown in. People often say " you lead a charmed life, Mike" but I know that it's still work and you git'er done. You recently told someone here that people are the master of their own destiny and I believe that to be 100% true. And that, Sir, is the reason I can't just say " Great report Mike...thanks for sharing" BUT, I have no words so, Great report Mike, thanks for sharing. You're making a lot of people happy reading of your adventures and you're connecting both new and established outfitters to people who care. I probably should have posted this to you privately but hey, I'm just airing what I think and believe to be absolute fact. Take care of yourself Bud....we need more like you. Thank you.

NICE! Very original. Thanks for sharing.

Happy Birthday to you, Connie! Little Vermillion is a wonderful place to be on your birthday....add your lovely Norma to the mix and you have it all. Hugs to both of you dear friends.

Thank you so much everyone for the birthday wishes. I had a wonderful weekend!

Let's hope that Dave answers via PM.

HAHAHA That'll do'er.

That does it! I'm not logging out 'til this report shows up.

Great video Bernie. I can't tell the size from the clip....are they less than yearlings?

We danced all night....she seems fine.

You still have the unit? A ducer might be available.

I still have my X85 and it is still flawless.

It's obvious...it has her nose....

But better pictures would have proven it was a channel cat. That's why clear pics of UFOs, Nessie and bigfoot don't exist.

I've never been but this might help a little. http://ontariofishingcommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=50605

Good stuff Mike. Thanks for sharing.

Lots of info on park haven lake via Google.

This is excellent news!

Yeah, and bring Ralphie with you. Maybe they can do something about the toe print in his forehead.

No no Joey this is the traveling North tune.

Man, I'd sure like to see a small screen capture or photo of the area that you're talking about because I have never heard of any West Arm maps showing depths. Feel free to PM or email me a tiny portion of this map. Or even the provenance of this map would help. Thanks.

In fact, I don't know why anyone would use any kind of a leader for walleye.

It's been nearly 15 years since I've used wire leaders. I've never been bitten off by any esox and te bonus is that if the fish rolls or is the least bit acrobatic, he won't be cutting himself up on the wire. I also use 80 to 130lbs for both casting and trolling.

A picture would help.

Most of my double blades are the same size...usually 3 1/2 or 4.

I don't think the West Arm has been charted.
