Ah geez Wayne, I'm sorry. I know what it's like to lose a sibling, not something I'd wish upon anyone. Stay strong man.

The Barrie marina produces some monsters!!!!!

That's a good way to kill a muskie. You shouldn't for any reason keep him on the line any longer then necessary.. If he breaks you off, he breaks you off. I'd rather lose a lure because of a break off, then kill a fish because I fought it for 30 mins... Lures are cheap, great muskie genetics aren't.

Wow, a 17lb'er? That's been in there a while. That definitely wouldn't have been a result from the restoration project I worked on 2 years ago in the Pool with the MNR.

The same thing.. There isn't much you can do....

OOD gave you pretty much all the info you'd ever need. Take the magazine with you.

Yup, that north shoreline (if I have my directions right) is really nice. Shear dropoffs all the way out until the river widens... I've caught some big smallies tossing the docks right at the dinner time rapids. Might wanna try a few tube jigs/topwaters at dusk. Nice pike in there also.

West of the bridge towards the chute there is a narrow section that has some current. Really nice dropoffs there.

So you are above or below the Chute? I fish the upper all the time, never the lower. Find any type of decent drop off into 20+ft of water and you shouldn't have any problems finding eyes.. Current breaks etc. Wally divers and shad raps work good from what I've been told.

Zara Spooks can be worked through weeds and not get caught up if done carefully.

Count me in for that Alaska trip

Holy crap Dave, how much did that monster weigh in at? lol Mike, making plans for next year already eh?

Lots of one eye'd fish out there... It will be fine.

Bah, get a Calais over the Steez

Great report!!!! Good find on the woman My gf would laugh in my face if I asked her to go there, lol

I tell ya, women have the touch!! My mom outfishes both my dad and I EVERY single time we go out.. Nice report!

I've never hit Sparrow before, I should probably as it's so close.

Hopefully Stoty found this information useful in July.. I'm sure he'll be doing lots of ice fishing then.

Just a sec, people fish for those things on purpose? Weird bunch.

Nice report Mike!! Good to see you tried out a couple of new techniques... Bass are always suckers for tube jigs!

I hear an increase in RPM with the last 1/4 throttle, but I don't gain any speed. That's why I'm thinking the prop could use a bump or decrease in pitch (which ever one gives me some more top end)

Look how thick that fish is!!! Good job man!

A question for the pros: Our 40HP 4stroke Honda tiller seems like it doesn't pick up much speed at all with the last 1/4 throttle at all. It rips out of the bottom end and gets up on plane in no time. Would changing to a prop with a different pitch help? Currently on GPS I am hitting around 45km/h with myself in the boat.

Cliff, we wanted to have a decent sized screen also, but the all-in-one units where just to expensive and when you split the screen, they ended up smaller anyhow. I know you mentioned you have limited room, but have you ever thought about a separate graph and chartplotter?
