mnr will not allow vehicle wide clearing close to the lake, so its a portage of around 3km. one warning the logging rds are hard on tires, windshields, headlight lens if you are a worrier about dings and scratches on boats and trailers . a couple lakes i launched on had corduroy rds to the water and you needed hip waders. thats tinny country. i doubt i saw working lights on a third of the trailers i saw around kinghorn rd. lake st joseph south of pickle lake is worth the drive

lol how about a 36 incher caught off the weeds on the burlington side while fishing out of a kayak

Sorry for your loss, she was a great person Dave

looks like a good idea for laying it as well

one thing to watch with older riggers is some don't handle larger weights like 13- 15 lb balls that well

it's not cheap but this is what you want. run your release behind it http://www.waterwolfhd.com/en/#thecamera

sounds great and when it's warmer you can always put a pan of ice in to keep the temp down.

south shore of lake o around the welland canal or the niagara bar. we were hitting lakers shallow this past april, i got this in 8ft

most places around here would have attomic or blood run copper in 45 lb test and both are good, i have attomic. i order 30 lb from the states from cabelas they sell afw since you can no longer get opti. i think you would like 300ft of 30, it would have you around 70 to 80 down at 2mph with a spoon. with cow bells you would not get that though, you might get down 60 65 ft. i like copper over riggers because you can pump the rod while trolling, it's work but it catches fish beaware copper is a bit of a bit ch and you have to let it out under tension. free spool copper and you will regret it

i agree i use my med light fast action on erie st croix 7 ft light fast action panfish rod is my fav for shallower water, it will drop shot or throw small cranks for crappie. i don't use ul rods much because they don't really have much feel

mooching rod are slow action long rods. so a laker would be a pretty dull fight because there would be no screaming runs and power shakes like salmon. i would run a short light rigger rod with fast action like a 7foot light talora with braid line to feel the head shakes ,so you almost feel over powered.
