Hey Bill, What size of hook do you use for that setup.

Grimsby Tackle has it on sale !!

Thanks for the report Gordy!! I am looking to do a trip next year and was thinking exactly what you posted.

So how close was it flying as to driving cost wise. I am looking at Sioux Lookout , Dryden area. Haven't picked a lodge yet, still trying to figure out one that suits all our needs!!

Thanks Scott

Haven't fished there in a couple of years. Lots of traffic in the summer with cottagers!!

Still get the odd walleye(not like the good ol days when you went to camp!!)  Pike and Bass and yes sunfish.

They put a artificial lung in the deepest spot on the lake to help the oxygen levels about 10 years ago maybe longer??

Was my favourite lake growing up!!

Speerzy

Yes it was broke. Had a tool and die guy repair it. The reel is solid now.

What do you have?? Anything to with down rigging (salmon)

Cardinal 4 Reel for sale. Reel has been barley used and in good condition.

Make me an offer or willing to take a trade for other fishing equipment.

Looking for some help looking for a good quality custom boat top for my Lowe Fish&Ski.

Any business recommendations near the Barrie area would be appreciated. Willing to travel if its worth the drive!!

Thanks Speerzy

Looking to get a full top with side curtains.

Any one have any recommendations near the Barrie area

Sorry for hijacking the thread. Just seen all these boats with nice tops

Thanks Speerzy

Thanks Guys, I'm going to do it, but wait and try and find a good deal on one.

No rush for this year

Cheers Speerzy

Hey Guys, Looking into adding the  I Pilot to my trolling motor(power drive v2 70). Has anyone converted there trolling motor to this.

Were you happy with the way it worked after you converted to I Pilot or disappointed . It's about $500 bucks for the kit or should I save up for a whole new unit.

Thanks

Speerzy

Nice to here for a change. Hope this keeps going!!

Thanks for the comments guys. He still has that grin on his face.

Got up early to go riggin for salmon, but the weather man had other ideas. Way too windy to head out from the notty, so we decided just to troll the river for a while since we were already there. My son thought he was hooked up on weeds till it started to take line. Ended up with this huge pike witch was a total surprise. Biggest pike by far for my son.

Well said SalmonKing. I am in the same situation your in and couldn't have said it any better. There are lots of resorts that are depending on something being done. I have been going there for 20+ years and not sure how many are left??

Hey Brian, I used to hand tie my hooks, but found pre tie hooks on 14lb fluoro 48" long at bass pro. I can make a whack of rigs in no time and way easier on the hands. They also come with red hooks that make a big difference in my opinion.

Scooter

Had the same issue. Went to a Van and Truck world and the guys told me that it's normal to have a little play with your pin. They said you don't want it snug or it will seize and makes it very difficult to get out.

Has anyone dealt with empire boat covers. They look to have some good deals and also have a cover that match's my boat.

Scott

Hey thanks Driffter I will go check them out for sure. Bare foot wader the cover is totaled ripped from one end to the other.

On my way up to North Bay my travel cover split right down the middle.

Does anyone know of a travel cover place. My boat is a 1600 Crestliner Fishhawk side console. Or would it be better to go with the cheaper cover, do they work just as good.

Thanks Scott

Stopped buy the narrows this afternoon. Didn't see anyone catching anything. A few boats out by the ice. There was 4 perch in the tank at the headquarters from all day!

Scooter

The battery house on Ferndale. I've bought 3 batteries from him now.

No complaints. He's a good old buoy from the rock!

Frabil has come out with a new suit called F2 Surge and F3 surge. The F2 is a little over a $100 bucks each and the F3 is over $200. Not many reviews as it is brand new. Check out there website.
