  1. Yes, you should be looking out for the little ninja's that keep putting things in your cart because of all the great deals! Sure makes the total add up fast!! Enjoy!
  2. ***NPAA Member Press Release*** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 17th, 2010 G2 Angling Seals the deal in their professional debut!!!! Napanee, Ontario, Canada May 16th, 2010– As the walleye tournament season moved in to full swing on the world renowned walleye capital of the world; Bay of Quinte, NPAA members Grant McAllister #517, Gary Hodge #518 and Jamie Stothart #541 made a splash by sealing the deal in their professional debut at the Quinte Walleye Open! The team weighed a 3 fish limit of 18.47lbs, beating out their nearest competitors by a mere 1lb! The G2 team also managed to take the Big Fish prize with a post spawn beauty that weighed 7.89lbs! “Going in to this, we spent countless hours developing a game plan. We stuck to it and didn’t waiver! We knew the big fish were still in the recoup mode and it would be a tough bite but we “through ‘em the curve” and came out on top! Reef Runner Little Rippers in tandem with Offshore snap weights were the ticket to our success today; says McAllister. With the use of our top notch electronics from our friends at Radioworld, we knew that getting those baits down in to the strike zone was key, as our 2 big fish came from running that pattern. The kicker fish and undoubtedly, the most important fish, came off a Northland Mr. Walleye Crawler Hauler. We were running the 3 Rippers on Offshore boards when we spotted some big hooks on bottom. We brought in one of the cranks, dropped down the Hauler and bouncer and within 30 seconds; FISH ON; a 4.7lber! All of this took place with 30 minutes left in the tournament!! That’s the fish that won us our first tournament; said an elated Gary Hodge. “We’ll remember this for the rest of our lives!” Based on the Bay of Quinte in Napanee, Ontario, G2 Angling is a Premiere and Premium guide service that specifically focuses on teaching their clients the fundamentals of walleye fishing while creating memories that will last a life time...

  3. Thanks again everyone!
  4. As mentioned before...if you can...go with a 24V system. Well worth it! I ran my Minn Kota literally ALL DAY two weeks ago, and still had plenty of juice left!
  5. I agree with bdox. Cable steer for sure. I have a Minn Kota Maxxum Pro (80lb thrust) on my Ranger, and its bulletproof! I highly recommend it. No matter which model you choose, go with MINN KOTA FOR SURE though. They are the best!
  6. PM sent!
  7. LOL!! All fish were a team effort! Without us all working together, we wouldn't have caught a single fish! It's amazing how many things you have going on when targeting Bay of Quinte Walleye's! A little different than ice fishing!
  8. Thanks guys...much appreciated! We are super excited about the win! Still can't believe it! Hasn't quite sunk in yet!
  9. Yesterday in Deseronto was the 2010 Quinte Bassmasters Walleye Open on the Bay of Quinte, and boy did it turn out to be a GREAT day for me and the rest of G2 Angling! Faced with a bluebird sky and no wind, everyone knew the Walleye fishing was going to be tough! Luckily, through extensive experience we had developed a game plan which we thought would work. We focused on getting a couple BIG bites throughout the day, instead of playing it safe and getting a limit of smaller fish and trying to upgrade throughout the day. We scouted and pre-fished a few days before the event, and believed we had the winning pattern. As it turns out, we were right and ended up with our three fish limit tipping the scales at 18.47 lbs!! We took the title by just over one pound, and also took "big fish" for the day with our 7.98 lb hawg! Special thanks goes out to all of our sponsors, as well as my partners Grant McAllister and Gary Hodge. It was an amazing team effort to figure out the pattern, and put it into effect! Here are some pictures from the day: This is just before blastoff..us going over our plan one last time! Here is the money shot...with our winning bag of 18.47 lbs! Us, accepting the first place prize of $1,900 and $760 for "big fish" Me releasing one of our fish.. Also, special thanks to Ashley Rae for taking those stellar pictures! All in all, it was an amazing day and thanks again to everyone for their support!
  10. The fish are well ahead of schedule this year. Focus on late spring/early summer locations and techniques. Trolling with boards and crankbaits will probably be your best bet.
  11. Right on, good report! We had a pretty good weekend. I had the 4th place fish (just over 10 lbs), but it didnt make it, so it was DQ'ed We managed to land 35 walleye the first day, and 15 on Sunday. Not much with much size, A LOT of 12-15 inchers. Which is a good sign for the years to come though! Beside the 10lb'er, we only had one around 5.5 lbs and a few in the 2-4lb range. We were marking TONS of fish, but they didnt seem to be to active. All in all, it was a great weekend.
  12. Wow, pretty cool feature. I'm on there!
  13. It's always been the 2nd Saturday in May, as far as I know.
  14. Yes, they are feeding pretty well right now, but seem to mostly be tiny ones (below 3 lbs). However, I did have the 4th place fish for a while (10.15lbs), but it didn't make it, so it was disqualified because its a "live release" tournament.
  15. Yes, you're right the 5x is just a sonar (no GPS). No other differences.
  16. I'm aware of that...
  17. We were Pike fishing, but it was a Musky. Honest to god..the biggest fish I've ever seen. Easily 50+" A fish of a lifetime, no doubt!
  18. Can anyone tell me the location of the Canadian Live Release records? My dad hooked/fought/and lost a MONSTER fish today (25-30lbs) on 8 lb test line, and it got me thinking whether or not his could have set a new line record. I can't seem to locate the records online though?
  19. I've got a huge weekend planned.... Taking clients out, filming another episode of Canadian Sportfishing as well as participating in the Kiwanis tournament! Should make for a great weekend!! Be sure to stop by and say hi if you see me out there! Red Lund or Grey/blue Ranger! Good luck to all!
  20. Smallies in the Ganny???? Damn! First I've ever heard of that.
  21. Agree 100%
  22. Pittsburgh vs Detroit in the finals again!
  23. Gary, I have first hand expeience with all the American's that come up here year after year to panfish. I worked at Golden Beach Resort and 70-80% of the people staying at the resort were Americans from Ohio, NY and Penn. It's a HUGE market up here for that. With that being said, I still agree with limits on the fish. I ant believe people are pissed about a 300 fish limit. Are you kiddin me??? It's 300 fish per person! If you bring your family of 4 you can keep 1200 fish. Man oh man. How many fish does a person need?!?! People need to think about the future of all of our fisheries.
