If you look way back behind him,you will see Terry and I floating about. i knew we seen you out there.LMAO Nice fish and eater Dave. We marked lots today as well,but hard to hold on them in a toon with stupid crazy current. Well done byes.

With the call of NNW winds,we decided to hit the north shore of the bay. I hate it for jigging cuz there is always current and it,s hard to mark your jig.. But a day out on the water is a great day out ,no matter the conditions. Getting myself all set up , my bud roars in with his Dodge Ram like he was going to miss the bite or thought maybe he was in the Daytona 500. I look at the time,OMG, your early. Setting up the toon in the dark is a bit of a P3TA but I manage.Some of us, just back our rigs to the water, and just unload and go. . So off we head out. We start with the normal small fish. Some perch and smallies. Once the winds decided to calm enough to head out,we made our way. Jigging from a floating toon with winds, is not the easiest thing. I try my best to keep my back to the wind and just flip slowing to keep my jig in the finder. Today was really weird out there though.. NNW winds,current was pushing the jig east. Normal. But when you are thinking you will be heading east with a NNW wind,,you wouldnt expect to be 1 mile WEST of your starting point. It didnt matter if we were in 110 fow or 25 fow,we were being dragged west. Sorry for the tunes,but Terry was dumb founded as well. We are fishing what looks like calm waters but still were bieng dragged west. It became frustrating to hold a spot out in the deep waters,(motor or no motor) so we headed back in to play. Lots of good action with big perch and smallies. Smallies were on the small size,but they are fun to play with. The screen was like this all the time. I have,not seen so many big perch this year,as I have this. Simcoe is becoming a fish factory. The new platform . It,s not finished yet. I wanted to see how it worked before I add a few things to it. I like how the rod holders are out of the way,but easy to exchange up rods when I want to. Leaves the front of the toon wide open for fishing and landing. The added oar rests are sweet. No drag when flipping my way about. IT ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN Tight lines all. B

Super report Mike. Nice mixed bag of fish there.

Interesting. Looks like you open and close your legs to propel those. Thanks JB.

I got ma and pops wood in already for this years winter. Pops got next years, already cut,spit and stacked. Get to do it all again next year.

I wont be doing the broccoli.. Thanks again. G

Thanks G That,s pretty simple. Do you allow to cool before pouring in the solution?

Really cool and raining a lot here today Matt. The river should give a push of salmon, Just waiting for the followers after them.. Way to early for me though. They are calling for warmer then normal temps, for Sept,Oct and Nov. Next thing we,ll hear is, it,s,too warm. LOL Weather sure has been crazy.

All yours Terrance.

Exactly what I would like. Some personal hands on tips and how to,s..Been doing the usual youtube searching. Looks like a lot of fun and addicting. Thanks for the tip Cliff. I plan on mainly using the open loop on mine.

Thanks again fellas. I,m looking to make bass spinner baits liverelease. Thanks for the offer though.. Maybe once I get the hang of making them,I,ll step up to those musky ones.

Woke up this morning to go fishing. As normal,I fire up the pc to contact my bud. No net. So grab the cell,no service. WTH. Turns out,SIM card was pouched. Strike 2. So what to do on a windy droul day? Head down to Coppas (formally Highland Farms) and pick up some fresh Ontario harvested veggies to prepare for this winter. It,s always amazing the price and size of their cabbages,cauliflower and broccoli.. We will do this until they bring in the out of country stock. By then,we well be well stocked up for the winter months. Basketball and volleyball size veggies. .99 cents each for the Broc,and $1.99 for the caul. Amazing. Blanched and in the freezer they went.. Needed freezer bags,so stopped into the dollar store. While there I came across a collection of fishing stuff. Ya it,s all cheap stuff. Well sorta. Opened a package of the spinner baits. Strong hook and sharp. No bad for $2. Grabbed a half dozen. Now as for my pickling question. I love pickled cauliflower and peppers. Whats a simple recipe for this? Im thinking a dozen 1 pint jars. Would my vinegar and water mixture I use for beets be fine?

Cool I look forward to your feed back. Good luck.

Interesting. Dave,. Thanks 10 speed or 3 speed Randy .

Yes. Trolling motor is on the back burner for now RB. Still fabricating for that ,but it,s coming along just fine so far. Need to try the platform out first.

Told ya a stupid question.LOL I have tried to tuck my knees right under my seat and flip. It works well for holding on a spot,but travel sucks,but it,s a work out.LOL Looks like another thing I will have to work on. Im sure I can fabricate something that will work.

I was being serious Dave.

Maybe stupid BUT,are there flippers on the market that will push you forward instead of backwards on a float tube or toon?

Can you explain how it works? What are you using for line? How will you know how deep you are? Line counter on the reel? Interesting. Always inventing something as well. Cool idea.

Something like this/ A pro yes. DUMB move
