WOW!! Fantastic trip,pics and report. Well done Thanks for taking the time

Fantastic trip and report, Good fun and great memories with some friends. Mid Sept weather north of Nakina you can expect everything and anything Thanks for posting

Good on ya Brian. I am sure the trips on the 'toon' and walking the rivers has also helped Gotta keep busy. Get your mind on other things, Grandkids are also a huge motivator Keep it up Good Luck Rick

Doug You have those Erie Walleye dialed in, For sure! Another great catch

Well done fellas, Its great when a plan comes together!! If Terry gets anymore 'stuff' He's gonna need a bigger toon Cheers Rick

Sweeeet!! Fantastic day right there. Jigging is by far my favorite way to get Lakers, Well done

All the best Lew Thoughts and prayers for you and Diane Happy 48th :clapping:

I parked the RV at an campground in Stonecliffe Full hook ups and had some sites that would fit my motorhome, It is on the Ottawa River East of Mattawa. However might be more than 3 hours Good walleye and Bass fishing, They rented boats

First Boat Exciting times for sure! Great looking rig, For a fishing boat the Vinyl floor is way better than carpet.

Fantastic Bunk Fantastic Pics and great read. Your photography is very good :clapping: Bears encounters are always something to be aware of, Never let your guard down. That one in your campsite must of had the cheeks puckered up a bit!! Thanks for taking the time to post Much Appreciated Rick

hi Hips Great report and Pics!! I am sure the planning was well worth the time! Amazing Thanks for taking the time Rick

Yea Bill same as you, However because I fish a lot of time by myself I am seriously looking at an inflatable to wear at all times.

'Intense' Oh Yea!!! Nice job and great video

Condolences Matt, Remember the 'Fun' times

I have been using the Terrova, 24Volt, 80 lb thrust with a 60 "shaft,with I-pilot, on a Sylvan, 17' 4" Full windshield No issues with wind, whatsoever. I am using the stock prop, But I think I will check into the 3 blade Bill suggestedj However if you are out on some bigger water and get 3 foot waves the prop will lift out of the water, But that will happen with any bow mount. At that time its no fun anyway and I head for some leeward shoreline

Premier or Avid But the first, go to set up, I reach for, is a 6'6" Premier Med/Light and a Symmetre 1000 spooled with 5 lb power pro If I am fishing the north where the water is tea stained the PP is tied directly to the Jig Like I said my 2 cents lots of options

Hi Gordy I have the BPS pro Qualifier It is a fantastic suit keeps me dry on the wet days and warm on the cool days, Watch the BPS sales flyers and you should get it for $400 Most of my jigging rods are St Croix Med or Med light. I use the 1000. With braid there is no need for the larger 2500 spool The 1000 is lighter not a big deal for a couple hours but if it is in your hand every day for a 7 day trip it is nice. Just my $.02 Lots of options out there Cheers Rick

Hey Gordy Great report and well done on the "Fishing" Fly ins are addictive!! LOL You do have to deal with weight limitations, Its pretty hard to come in under 100 lbs per man if you are bringing in beer at 22lbs a case. Great your outfitter was accommodating I look for that when I am researching. Weather will effect your flight times, Not much you can do about Mother Nature BUT When the float plane leaves you on 'your' Lake Its is a very special feeling, I can't wait til next time!! Cheers Rick

What do you use to clean your vinyl boat floor? Some special cleaner or on your hands and knees with a scrub brush and tide? Thanks Rick

Have a 'Fun' and 'Safe' trip Get the 'Big Guy' Cheers Rick PS Say Hi to Joe for me

Hi Mike Another Great trip and fantastic report. Huge congrats and hats off to the 'Dads' yourself, Joe K and Joe S for taking the time and making the effort to take your boys on a trip such as this. The plane ride, fishing, cooking on an open fire, roasting marshmallows, driving a boat, jumping off the rocks and swimming, catching leeches and just hanging out with their friends They will remember it all. My boys are in their mid thirties and still talk about trips we did 25 years ago A fantastic experience Cheers Rick

Hey Bunk I am not gonna get in a pissing match about 'Terminology' or 'Definitions' You can charge a 24 volt system, consisting of 2 ,12Volt batteries with one charger, However it might be slow. The simplest way is to get an onboard 2 bank charger and hook it up to both batteries to charge both at the same time. OR Get a 3 bank and also charge the starting battery. I unplug the Terrova before plugging in the charger and no need to disconnect batteries You are gonna love the Terrova 24 volt 80 lbs thrust with remote and I-pilot It works as advertised Cheers Rick

Yes Brian Those are the ones I was referring to

A tuff start but another great trip. Paul looks happy as he should be that's a beauty Muskie.
