If you narrowed it down, what are you top 5 "must have" lures?

Interesting... I didn't see much room for more trailer parking.. I'll keep it in mind for next time. I really wanted to fish this lake. Heard good things. Balsam was a bust. One fish on - not a bad one - lost after 10 sec fight. Then one perch!

App worked great but launch didn't! Ended up at Balsam via the rosedale launch. The launch at Cameron has virtually no parking! Three spots and they were taken. I got there early afternoon but still, I expected a bigger parking area. That lake is basically inaccessible. Is there any other way in? I tried a launch just to the south west but it is private. No public access

I loaded the app... looks great. gives you an option to download a map to use while offline. I tried to download an area, but where does it download to? I checked my phone's downloads and it wasn't there.. Also search inside the app.

Didn't know that! Thanks, man!

Thanks Crowman! I have a very basic unit so can't download it. Much appreciated

Will do... need to order a map.

From there, where would you search for fish? We aren't targeting anything specific.. walleye, bass, etc... I hear there are pike there too now..

I found a "cameron lake boat ramp" but when I searched it further, a recent review came up said there's a really strong current at this launch making it very challenging to put in or take out a boat. I've come across some other info about a launch at the end of West St. North but that's not on google maps.

Hey gang, Angler's Atlas says there are 3 launches (all in the south east corner neat FF) - which to chose from the three? Hoping the launches put me on to some decent fishing (multi species) Thoughts?

Online shopping isn t killing them - they just need to adapt. Maybe the traditional walk up store will be gone but the retailer will have to adapt.

where do you buy your tackle? I'm looking for better sources. Online?

Where do you get them?

Tried a wacky this weekend on the French. To be honest I didn't give it enough time and the presentation wasn't perfect. I did catch a fish with it! A rock bass 🤣 What are your favourite senko style colours?

Thanks guys. We will try Cedar Village. Should we head west or east from the launch? We don't have maps of the waters. cheers

Hey folks, we are camping at Grundy Lake his weekend. I brought my boat up. I made the mistake of thinking that motor boats are allowed! Being very close to the French we figured we can hit up a section close to Grundy. Anyone know if a launch nearby that will put us on ti some decent fishing? Thanks very much!

What do you guys think of these kits? Seems like a good deal...

So are these knots best for similar diameter lines or can they work well with varying widths?

May also experiment with the Alberto knot... And I will be trying out a drop shot rig too... Thanks!

So are you keeping the leaders short because the double uni doesn't go through the top eyelet? Or can the leader length be longer?

I'll give the uni a try then!! I like simplicity!

One thing that stresses me out is if I have to re-tie these connection knots while in the water. Always a lot harder I find. Thanks

Hey guys, back with some wacky questions! I am going to Grundy this weekend and I want to "deploy" the wacky rig technique.. two questions: 1. How long should your flouro leader be that connects to your main line? (I am using braided main - I thing 30lbs?) 2. What knot are you connecting the two line with? FG knot keeps coming up in searches. I've never used it before Thoughts? Thanks!

I think rice will be next on my list after Cameron

Third trip of the year and he's loving it.. He'll be 6 in August so stil using a bait cast and hasn't quite figured out the cast yet (admittedly I haven't let him try it yet). Anyhow, so far we've hit Dalrymple, Cooks and Balsam, which we fished yesterday. Always heard great things about Balsam but we got skunked there yesterday.. We fished in front of the park from 5 to 18 feet (the drop off) but not a single panfish caught, which surprised me. Next on the list is Cameron... I've also heard good things about it. Anyone want to share their favourite panfish lake, I'd love to hear from you! We are near the 400 and 9 so anything within 2 hours of that or so, would be fine. Those of you who followed my thread on my lower unit oil leak - motor has run well so far since that thread earlier in the spring. I haven't drained the oil yet but plan to do so this week. But the motor is running strong so I am hoping all is good!
