good stuff, my buddy has been saying the tri lakes are finally starting to get going.

you cant trust "open water" with a GPS its not so bad because for the most part you can follow drive lines, aside from that though all bets are off. There are random rocks in the middle of huge basins. By far my favourite shoal in the lake though is the one right smack dab in the middle of the shawanaga river. You can drive straight down that river and its between 15 and 35 feet the whole way and just as you are about to get into the opening theres a rock that spans across the entire river. Easy to spot non locals when fishing in there. They always try to run right over the shoal. Im usually a nice guy, if you slow down and are respectful as you pass me fishing Ill warn you...if you blow past at full throttle, you are on your own. Ive seen a few lower ends taken off.

lol I dont know a single person watching hockey anymore

wish i could help you on the rpice I will tell you that we owned a 95...? Johnson and those electrical issues didnt seem to go away. Wed buy another computer for it and it would fry itself after continuous use. got to the point we were replacing it every year. Dont know if its the same issue, but I just know it sucked when the thing decide to quit on us while we were out fishing one fall and we got stranded at night half an hour down the lake from home. holy friggin cow that dude's OCD is intense lol

glad this happened for this city...couldnt rely on the friggin leafs to do anything. In the grand scheme of things this is bigger than hockey anyways. You think americans dont care about the raptors...imagine how little they care about the leafs lol

Ohio I still have no friggin clue how you guys used to navigate without a good GPS unit on your boat. Navionics just did an update and for the first time ever sturgeon bay and the areas to the north of pointe au baril channel are now charted...Not sure I am a big fan of it to be honest. Means more boat traffic for my area and more fishing pressure...oh well i guess. My brother back when we first got the place in 2008 was out with me in the tinner. There was a jug clear out in the middle of the channel, so we figured ok, thats either a rock right there in the middle, or you are supposed to hang to one side or the other of it, so lets go slow on the right side of the jug and see whats up...going slowly everything seemed fine until i saw a rock ahead of us...so my brother pops her in reverse and we back out and proceed to the left side of the marker...he takes off and boom...wrecks the prop and takes a chunk off of the cavitation plate on the skeg. Turns out, that marker was marking a rock indeed in the middle...but also there was a rock to the right that was unmarked. I still have no friggin clue how I havent hit anything yet with the big motor. Dont ask me how many times ive ran into rocks with the trolling motor though :S at least those props are plastic and can be replaced on the cheap! My Stainless Prop...not so much! When the water was low a few years back, my old man banged his prop right in the middle of the S turn...thats how low things were getting.

can of worms indeed...myself, my father/family owned a quad that was at my uncles until he passed away last summer collectively own(ed) a 1982 suzuki kids quad for my nephew....still runs no problem a 1986 suzuki quad...still runs 1988 suzuki 15hp outboard....still runs and with a carb clean up and ethanol free gas will start first pull every time 1998 yamaha 130 outboard....still runs and will start first turn of the key usually from cold, only a headgasket has been changed, everything else is bone OEM stock including the original oil pump 2015 yamaha 150 outboard...never had an issue and have owned 1994 evinrude/johnson....RIP 2x 2005 skidoos....one full engine replacement after 3000km, continuous kill switch failure issues, gas guages never worked since new, electric start problems, overheating problems 2007 mercruiser 350....continuous electrical issues needless to say, I will never buy a non japanese anything outdoor power related again. Dont even get me started on domestic vehicles.

i personally cannot remember such a wet cool spring in my entire life in Ontario. In Pointe Au Baril I can probably count the number of days that havent had rain since the beginning of April on one hand. Guys talking about weed growth, there is virtually none at all in Pointe Au Baril. Very small spots of weed growth in some areas, but areas that are traditionally choked out are barren. The high water has pushed it even further. Heck our water temps are still in the low 50's and its basically June. The panfish havent even come up shallow yet. Lake feels somewhat like a barren waste land with random spurts of good fishing, but then totally off days where the lake goes back into early spring mode. Heck I was catching incidental OOS smallies in 32 FOW last Thursday...Last time I checked thats a little deep for smallies to be spawning... oh...and the best part about the cold and wet...the blackflies, holy cow it is nexttttt level this year up in pointe au baril. Wearing a bug net I still have to take a moment at times to run away from what im doing so that I can regain my vision. My dog isnt a big fan of it either.

lol last guy i called the MNR on that was blatantly fishing the fish sanctuary at severn falls had a polish eagle on his SUV and im polish...so forget the race Bull

i second what nick said. Ive even been out with him fishing on 6 mile. My buddies have tried it multiple times since and the fishing has left a lot to be desired.

ahahaha no seriously, its my fave method for fall walley when im using minnows as bait

lots of folks still fish the gannon narrows

people are still watching hockey? its open water season and the raptors are not disappointing like the leafs. My time is occupied.

had a lot of work to do up at the lake this weekend so fishing was in spurts and the old man wanted to focus on walleye. Sunday morning i busted out the fly rod off the dock before breakfast and was very glad I did. I ended up catching 11 pike in just over an hour off of the dock. Including 4 in 4 casts, all on the fly.

i drop shot almost all of my walleye...

Pmed

Walleye are biting, caught a dozen this evening in a couple of hours.

i take back what i said, the sun came out this afternoon and guess who finally showed up for the first time. So wierd, noon not a fly to be seen, 3pm theres now clouds of them, they dont seem to be biting yet though. havent got out fishing yet, will let you know when i finally get out.

im here right now, everything is way cold, and theres absolutely 0 bugs. Im expecting though that with the warmer temperatures expected over the weekend the blackflies may start up. As of right now its still too bloody cold.

caught a few pickerel down on lake marion in south carolina this year

insane up on G bay at the moment, water is about 48 in land but 38 once you hit the main lake. When you drive out of point au baril channel towards the big water its like hitting a wall, the air temperature drops 10 degrees with the water. Everything is so blood far behind, the pike arent even biting yet and its usually prime time right now.

hey guys, I have a broken latch on the rear deck on my boat. Ive been trying to look around online and I cannot seem to find anyone in canada that sells deck latches. Everywhere is sourced out of the states, and amazon has one for sale for 70 dollars...that cant be right for one latch?! Does anyone know where I could find them, a store would be preferable, somewhere along the 400 is even more ideal!

lmao the OOS smallies we were catching fishing pike were bloody baloons. Im pretty sure my buddy caught a 6lber on friday. also one 21 inchish fish that had been chomped by a musky. You could see the jaw outline it was probably 10 inches wide..nuts!

http://www.bbcboards.net/forumdisplay.php?f=23 keep an eye there, I see older motorguides and kottas go for $300 USD all of the time. Jeez, i recently sold a motorguide for 300 bucks Canadian! I should bloody sell you our extra powerdrive V2 but its not mine to sell. Its just sitting doing nothing!
