Yeah, I see big arches in the upper column in the summer but I don't think this applies through ice. My buddy has a flasher that is either zoomed in or out, no secondary chart. Might not be a big deal. The unit I was looking at was a G1. Those don't have CHIRP. The newer units (G2) have CHIRP sonar and CHIRP DI. Be wary of DI - I tried it through ice and was missing arches. That's because DI is a narrow, oval shaped sweep meant to be used on a moving boat. Doh. With CHIRP sonar you're golden though. Based on your video it seems like you're capturing everything.

Nice video. Makes me feel like I'm out there. The Humminbird helix is great. Is that the CHIRP version? I came pretty close to buying a helix ice just yesterday. Ended up settling for a Hook4 CHIRP. Question, how often do you see fish farther up in the column? I'm wondering how many fish are missed by zooming into the bottom column OR using too narrow of a band.

Love the video. Cheers on the release.

Which guides are you referring to?

With the long winter ahead I've decided to put some time and effort into developing what I think would be useful/cool fishing gadgets. I have an engineering background, CAD abilities and some manufacturing connections (both onshore and abroad). Also my sister in law is from China so she can act as an intermediate if I decide to manufacture there. I was wondering if some of you have ideas to toss my way. Maybe something you always wanted to invent but never had the time. Hate to see a good idea go to waste you know. So far I have the following underway; 1. Diver that can be attached anywhere on the line. Similar to Slide Diver but no small parts and can be installed within seconds. I have this one 80% figured out. 2. Fixed "slider" that can be attached/removed in 1 second flat. Completely fixed, as in, will not move even when a strike occurs. Allows you to easily stack a bunch of lures. This one is 95% figured out. Going to prototype it soon. Do you think these products would be useful? If so - what are the MUST have features for each? Let's hear it folks!

98% of walleye on Nipissing must be released.... so mostly catch and release :). Although, it seems the fish have finally grown up... based on my tremendous success this summer I'm cautiously optimistic for winter fishing.

Whatever you do, make sure they understand Nipissing is mostly a catch and release fishery. You'll catch tons of fish though.

I would wager they're real users. IPB 4 hides bots by default, if I'm not mistaken.

Guys, no need for a VPN. Cable companies have no right or power to stop you. Do not respond to their letters. Just carry on. The company listed on the warning is asking for you to contact them because they cannot do so themselves. Hence the middleman (cable company) sending the letter on their behalf.

Wish they made them smaller.

Do you have downrigging gear?

Side console for sure. The fish hawk is nice, thanks for that. I'd go up to 20-22k, pre-owned. Too much premium on new boats. I'll check it out, thanks!

Title, looking for recommendations on a wide aluminum boat for trolling medium to large sized lakes. I like a wide transom boat as this allows room to negotiate riggers etc. Reason being my boat has been destroyed and I'm shopping for a replacement (lol). Edit for more details: - Would prefer wide gunwales. - I generally fish with 1 or 2 people.

Wonder how much of that garbage is washed off the lake?

I'm still going deep (40ft+) with great success. That is, for walleye.

I'm asking because my sister lives on the lake and has tried very hard to get into some walleye without much success. There are definitely walleye in the lake, possibly a somewhat healthy population from what I hear. She's not exactly experienced enough to know where to start, I'm sure she's tried many spots that are just barren. So I'm headed there soon to scope out the lake, see if I can get into some walleye. That said I hope someone here has fished the lake successfully and can give me some pointers! Any help is appreciated.

Finally got out with the old man this morning and WOW were the walleye ever hungry. Lines in around 9am, off the lake 11am with 3 nice keepers and countless more released. Either the fish have grown up a bit or I got lucky. Or maybe the spot is just home to larger fish. Also lost a very large fish toward the end, didn't get to see it though .

I was lucky to sneak through before traffic got bad. Saw the cops set up their own barricade. Everyone else in my group had to go around... adding an hour to a short trip.

Especially for brookies. If he doesn't give up the information, just file a freedom of information request. Easy!

Ever venture out in the big water? If so, I can tell you exactly where to go and limit out every time. Central basin is nuts right now.

Hamilton is 45 minutes from Lake Erie, ie guaranteed walleye limits this year (6 each). I go there occasionally but always have more takers than spots in the boat .

Congrats! Best part is the free license that comes with the kid. Finally tax dollars going to good use!
