And for sure,wont work for me. I have a line on one. Thanks for all the great replies all. OFC rocks as always.

Nice shooting. I love watching them while out on the toon. Also love their distinct screech. We have many here on the bay. Bill, I have seen both. Once the shinners come in the bay again this fall,you will see a mixed bag of them. I,ll have the camera rolling when they come in again this year. I caught a vid last year of them. Trying to find it. Inches from the waters surface they swoop. I have also been seeing more of the eastern gulls then those ugly ones from the city. Pure white with bright yellow/orange beaks with the crisp black tipped wings.

I was like Dave when I first moved to Barrie. I did 8 years of city and back. Also drove a truck all day down there. Lots of driving. Then looked around local. Found something and now I,m a 7 km drive to work and to my play ground. Lucked out.

I,ll just amagin your garden is my garden ok.. LOL Beauty place there Chad.

He,s probly a better shot then Bill.LOL Have a safe an super trip Mike.

Right on. Priceless Simon. Then again,Forest had many Jennys and made lots of money and stayed simple. LOL

Just keep on smiling Lew.

Tybo and Joey had one done by Advance. It is simply awesome. You will pay. But you,ll be paying for quality work. Nice fish.

That is one of my fav pike spoons. Another great tip Bill. Many fish will hit on the turn.

Well done Lew. Man, first cast. SWEET.

Thats so eh.

LOL Simon You guys go camping when those of us would love to camp in your back yard. Is that an option for some of us when you go camping? Shame on you.

There are lots of guys that will tell you they drag their balls and stir up the bottom. Yes it works well. Then, there,s the, tick,tick tick the bottom with the ball,and raise the ball. Im not going to give to much info here (you,ll figure it out Dave im sure) , If you read all the winter laker reports,you will get what Im talking about. CHASING, is the game here. Lakers will hit a lure and hang on forever. You really need to watch the tip of the rod. (why I like to use longer rods in the 12-15 ft range) Any abnormal movement,you need to release the rod from the clip. Nothing like dragging a laker and drowning it. Like I said ,those little movements,can produce these. They never pulled the line from the clip. We also never put the line deep into the clip, unless were out on real rough water days. 70% of our fish this year and years past,never pulled off the clip. Terry can attest to this. .A couple of them. As for spoons. Like I said,flutter spoons to start. They will work well while trolling .5-1.5 mph. When the fish are really active,we will troll at 2-2.5 and use NK,S or something like you posted. (I leave color selection to you). Speed Attach a spoon. Let out 5-10 ft of line . Drive the rod into the water til the lure submerges, and watch the lures action. If it,s not flipping over 3/4,,then your not getting the full effect of the lure. More speed is required. It needs to flip back and forth, not a lazy wobble.. It needs enough speed to give a flash or show it,s colors. Hope that makes sense. On another added note,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Don,t pass on small body minnow baits in the 3-4 inch range. Killer at 1-1.5 mph.. Ok,think I gave you enough to go on for now,,,,,,,,,,,,, Look forward to your progress. Side note I have yet to give my lead core set up a try this season. Too many boats out there. I dont need a boat crossing 50 ft behind us and ripping my line. Maybe during the last days of the season,I will give it a go. Thats where I,ll be asking questions on the how too. Good luck out there. Im sure you will figure it out. I have been cut off twice trying to post this up. Hope it comes out right.

Any flutter spoon Dave. Cleo is way to heavy.IMO

X2 SWEET MIKE.

Nice tear jerker music at the end Simon. That was awesome.

When your ready to head up,give a shout bud. Still owe you a trip out. You,ll need to supply the boat.LOL

Missed the GPS comment. SRY.

I bought the elite 4x ice pack last winter. Comes with bag battery and charger. . I have been using it all season . Just made a holder for it. You can have a full screen,a flasher split screen as well. So with this unit,you will get hard water and soft water use out of it. Hope this helps Hooked

Thats a sweet set up Boss.

When I started fly fishing,any fish on a fly was special. Like you said though, The scenery and wild life is just awesome And dont forget the quiet surroundings and listening to the water trickling.. Your hooked just like I .

K BAY surface temps were very cool today. It wasnt bath water, thats for sure.

The Notty is another fish factory. You never know what you will catch. My largest walleye ,came from that area. Nice pike young one.
