I dont yet, but working on it. LOL I do though, have my ducer set up so it swings out when rowing and dragging a 1-2 oz swim bait. I can mark it while I am rowing. When I stop, I can mark it while it drops. I can see if there are any followers , then play chase with them. It,s a pretty simple cool set up. I will do a video of it on how it works some day. I know how you hate long videos. LOL

That was way cool again. Can you post a pic of this camera your using please also how you hook it up to your line. I am interested in getting one for jigging lakers and white fish. Thanks

I seen another fly, the same as the one I tied with rabbit hair but with deer hair. Will the deer hair fly ,throw better and easier ? I know I could make and find out ( which I am going to do ) but just want to know , so I am ahead of the game a bit. Bass season is almost here. Thanks

Just like you to stir the pot. There are 3 others,not 2. LOL

Nice Rog.

Ask your VET. I hate those things. They even bite through a hat covering your head. They are nasty.

LOL It was to be a fun post, not to be a IM PISSED it didnt work out OIM. LOL As you have seen in my pass reports the few years, I and Terry had our fair share of nice lakers out there. Even had a 30+ fish long weekend, showing Tybo and Terry a good time. This year on the lake many are having trouble finding the lakers. Many are puzzled by the lack of marks out there. I was merely having a good fun write up and I was not paid for this guide. Maybe my title should of been, ( Did a free guide for a newbie ) LOL It really was more of showing Casi the basics of down rigging on Simcoe for lakers and the ins and outs on set ups. Speeds that would make a spoon work. Side to side motion. More speed for heavier spoons. Driving half the rod in the water with the lure back 8 ft to see how the spoon travels, to make sure the right speed is there, so the lure works. Im am sure I gave him a good start on this and he will go forward learning and catching as time on the water, as we all know, is the only way to really learn. I am no pro guide, but know the ins and outs on the hows. Would I put my money on being a full blown guide? Not a chance. Takes all the fun out of it. Better to have a fun time and not have to worry about the, you suck crap. LOL Having fun is what is all about. Sorry if you thought I was serious OIM.

This is my late grand father enjoying a pint on Esnagi lake in 1976.

Aint that the truth. LOL Nice rollers all morning. Not a single fish marked. So it,s not your boat Casi.

I must say, it was done with ease. Time to get on the water, Terry might be there already. Hahahaha

Ducer. Did you try wiping it? Then again, it could mean, 0 fish 0 hook ups. LOL

A member here was asking about down rigging for lake trout on Simcoe. So me and my big mouth,chest puffed out , " I,LL GUIDE YOU IF YOU WANT" So plans are made,. I suggest to him what spoons to buy and what not. Set a time and location for meet up. I have only been fishing from the toon jigging for whites and lakers so far, but I figured a rest from the toon would be nice. Sit back on a motorized vessel and catch some fish. The laker bite has been tough for me and by all reports for others. I thought maybe the other anglers were just not on the right spots or baits. LOL J/K. Im an hour early waiting, as I am always up and gone at the crack of Lew hour . My customer shows up on time. We rig up the boat and away we go. We get to the drop spot and start trolling. And trolling, and trolling. Im watching the screen and it shows 2 lines. His canon ball and mine. Not a fish for the first hour or so. Im thinking ya dumb ass, nice guiding. Had my go to flutter spoon on and he a silver fox flutter spoon on the other. These are proven baits on this lake for lakers. As we make a turn, we mark a fish rising on the finder. Ok, eyes on the rods. NADA. Troll some more, and some more. We rigged from 127 fow up to 80 fow. We marked 3 fish and 2 pods of bait. We trolled and trolled with not a fish to play with. Defeat was setting in. I had failed as a guide. BONUS TO THIS REPORT I made another OFC friend, and I hope I passed on enough knowledge, for him to keep going out on Simcoe to get his first Simcoe laker on the down rigger. Super great guy . Even if he does tow with a VW. Great to have met you iFish4real. Next humble lesson will be, fly fishing the Mad river. LOL Lets do it again. Hopefully the fish will be more co-operative.

STEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Great to hear from you dude. Hope alls well. I fish from a pontoon now. Single angler vessel. . LOL Fixed it Near North Anglers & Swillers and professional T BAGGER

Suspense, drama, just post the darn thing already. LOL

I remember my first musky. Not as big, but still ma first. WTG

Never had a smoke issue. hmmmmm As for syn products, never been a fan. Is it still true once you go syn, you can not put reg oil in? Even if you flush the engine? Also told ( hear say ) that dyn will eventually dry out rings and they will crack. HEAR SAY.

Good EYE Chris. Cool shot.

When Shell brought out Nautilus pre mix oil, it,s what I went with. Even used the bottom end lube on all my out boards. Started using it with a 20 merc and johnson. Used it for my oil injected 115 mariner on the bass boat. Never an issue with it and it,s covered by all warranties . I really dont get, USE OUR PRODUCT.

I could fish them all day and pass on the pike.

That must be a local thing . LOL Never heard of them. The last time I fished that lake was probly 10 years ago. Club tourny. There is this weed growth out there now that looks like huge umbrellas. I found the best bite was boiling spinner baits over the cabbage. Those bass would come out of no where. The stump grounds is another great spot. You remember that rebel frog with the spinning back legs? KILLER. Probly how the buzz bait came about. LOL

I was introduced to the lake 79. We caught large mouth. Then they were not huge and yes, rainbows and brookies through the ice. The 80,s the bass were getting up in numbers and yes, some real pigs. Motor oil green 10" worm. Yes, artificial back then byes. That back bay inlet Dave was the ticket.

Back in the late 70,s and through out the 80,s, it was a big bass lake. Today, to much pressure and catch and keep. Not that I am against that. The laws the law. LOL

What a trip, and those white fish are HUGE. LOL

There is no excuse if he did or not. Sorry, but there is enough info out there to know whats open and whats not. The first video looks familiar. A trib up here that is open til Dec 31. The bridge was kind of a give away. No, I am not telling ya where it is. I do not even fish there. Just look at the skinny water. Let them be.
