My favorite lure is a jerkbait because it seems to so versitile and it catches everything. However, it can be pretty tough in the thick weeds. I will throw jerkbaits along the edges and around sparse weeds. I always use braided line to help rip the bait out of the weeds. I also find that a jerkbait like a husky jerk or a rogue performs better in the weeds as opposed to a slashbait like the X-rap because it has less of a side to side action. It can be frustrating at times but the rewards can be great. Thanks for all the kind words guys. Hey Riverfisher22...... they are rain bibs

Looks like fun. Getting children onto fish is ALMOST as fun as getting them yourself. He looks just like you.

Got out last week with family to Nanas and Papas house. A few hours of fishing each morning with my old man and perching off the dock with the kids kept everybody happy. Papa bought a new boat that needed to be tested out on the walleye grounds. The bite was pretty good. I prefer to fish weed walleye and I caught them the way I like to catch em. ( jerk baits,bucktails and grubs in the weeds ) Here are a few pics. Enjoy!

Great pike. Nice pics and story !

Very nice hauki ! Its nice to see fish from over seas. keep up the great work !

Nice walleye. Now go out and get yourself some more ! I suppose that sometime you have to learn things the hard way !!! ( fish with teeth )

Nice job on the pike Steve. Im going to kid nap you and make you take me there !!!! Did most of the big fish move deep already ?

What is the shipping adress ? I have 2 broken Fenwick rods collecting dust in the garage.

Does anyone know where I can have my boat re-carpeted at a reasonable cost ?

If this is the correct way to set up a 24V system then how should a dual bank charger be hooked up ? Do you only hook up the charger to one battery to charge both ?

Great job on the eyes Marv. We braved the conditions as well. 3.5 hours of high wind and rain was all I could handle. lots of OOS ers and a broken trailer tire to show for our efforts.

great fish. some serious fatties there !! thanks for sharing

blog it up

Good call Terry. I did not think of that. I will give that a try tonite. I am going to replace the charger after work tonite. I suppose that you get what you pay for when you buy cheap. Thanks everybody for your help !!

Thanks for the repies guys. I used the boat all through December and started using it in early March. All last year I always recharged the batteries as soon as I got home. All winter ( Jan & Feb. ) I charged them every couple of weeks to make sure that they never sat uncharged. I have had already about a dozen trips out this season with no problems. However I have been having problems with the BPS charger. It never read the same thing when it was charging. sometimes it red charging , sometimes it read float and someimes it read go fish. I dont trust that charger any longer. I was checking the batteries and one read 10.2 V and the other read 12.3V. where in the GTA can I find the CTEC chargers?

Iso kala Great job Hauki I would love to see some more !!!!

24 volt minn kota power drive. New batteries last April. dual bank BPS charger ( piece of crap ) This system worked great all season last year.Now ths year it wont hold a charge. After 6 hours of fishing its almost dead. It will usually go 2 days. Im wondering if I need to buy more batteries? better charger? any tips and suggestions for propper battery care would be greatly apreciated

Check out the Humber at the end of Kirby rd. West of Hwy 27. There is a dead end. Check out the pools south of there. Or near old Church Rd. & hwy 50. South of Palgrave fish ladder can produce decent fish. You may expect to catch native browns. Good luck

It was a decent morning out. Heres a forgotten picture from my camera. This is for all the steelheaders !!

Thats amazing. A very interesting thread. I have heard nothing but great things about Bass Cat. If you need any new fishing partners......... dont hesitate to call me !!

Decided to take the family up to the French River this summer for a family vacation. Does anybody recomend an affordable location to stay. ( ie cabin or cottage rentals ) Any info would be great. Thanks, Mike

the worst costomer service ever !!!!!

Nice greasers. Thanks for clearing up the confusion about what a 20 # trout looks like. Whats the magic bait ?

Very nice fish. That is a true giant. May I ask what you got it on ?
