  1. hey if we had been on the french or in the kawarthas i would have had no problem with a fish fry......i just diddnt have the heart. just curious for the serious walleye fishermen out there im pretty shure she was every bit of 28- 30 inches ( i am 6'4") what would a fish like that weigh? my bighest was 26 inches and weighed 7 pounds. ( was caught in september)

  3. Found a bit of time to give lakers a go on simcoe this afternoon. we launced out of oro around 3 and shot across to the south shore of Kempenfelt. We setup pulling big spoons on 2 oz three way rigs in 100fow with 250 ft of line out. not ten min. in a rod goes off. I thought i was going to land my first softwater laker on simcoe.... thing was it wasen't fighing like a laker......halfway to the boat the fish got mixed up in the other line had to sort it out still had the fish on somehow.....get the fish near the boat and realize we dont have the net. great.... Angela reaches over to grab the fish and all i hear is "HE HAS TEEEEETTTHHH" I give her the rod and grab the fish and the hook pops right out. I have no clue how we managed to get it in the boat......enough with the suspence here it is......weird i know.....

    i know the pattern for these guys in the fall but this about blew my mind.

     

  4. The long shaft is likely your problem. You might be able to improve things slightly with different props and different engine angles but the fact is your prop is likely too deep. Try mounting the engine higher...ie. build the transom a couple of inches higher. Not an easy fix but if you want a dramatic improvement you are going to have to raise your motor. Better to be overpowered than underpowered in my opinion as long as the transom can take it.

    Good luck and let us know how you make out.

    thanks I added 4.5 inches to the transom when I replaced it. 2 slices of marine ply screwed and glued . I haven't had her out since I posted my question the cav. Plate sits even with bottom of transom.. I might try liftin it up an inch o two and see what happens
