  1. nice haul.. looks like an awesome trip... glad it went well for you
  2. idiots... dont they do any research on the issues they want to protest.... "catching a fish is the same as putting a hook in your dog and dragging it behind the car..." yeah...ok...
  3. good for you... and i agree... my 10 months off last year were great... but it felt good to get back to work...
  4. I don't understand banning it... You can drop shot 4 baits on one line... For salmon you can add a stacker line to run an extra spoon on the same rod... Musky guys in thousand islands run a spoon off the back of believers... Bait fisherman can run 4 baits...
  5. Lol Really...16 footers...lmao Our cops are jacked to the max here... 20+ foot zodiac boats with large twin outboards for RCMP...They have 3 I think... Opp on 1000 cc sea doos.... As well as a large boat... Forget how big...but it's a good size boat... And MNR is rocking a Boston whaler with a 225 If I remember correctly...
  6. Never had my boaters card checked... Never had my livewell checked... Never had any storage compartments checked... Never asked for any ID to prove I am the same person on my fishing license... Never had my bait checked... Only ever been checked for fishing licenses...life vests... And safety requirements....
  7. I did the same lew... Bought a frabil... Then replaced the bag a few years later with the same beckmann bag you got... Love it now...
  8. The Larry has been completely fished out also...
  9. well i finally got my little fella out for his first boat ride on sunday morning... and he loved it... he was running all over the boat... playing with my sonar unit... played in the livewell...and even took a turn driving... well he held on the the tiller for a bit anyways.... i was one happy father... he was like a fish in water...lol
  10. Nice catch... Musts been an epic battle... I'm glad in YOUR thread you weren't completely reamed for posting about OOS sturgeon...
  11. Super glue...!!! Had 2 days last year saved by super glue... For those cuts that won't stop opening/bleeding... Just glue em up till you get home that night and can let it rest and heal up a bit...
  12. On the same note... We weren't sure if we were gunna get anything small enough for supper... I like walleye around 2 pounds for eating...
  13. You should see the pics that didn't get posted... Yuk...lol Forgot to mention we got 2 double headers as well...
  14. Got out for a while today with my buddy for some walleyes... I've been trying to elaborate on a pattern my brother and I have going and today the pattern busted wide open... We were trolling cranks on underwater cliff edges and major points or saddles that divert large amounts of water... We started fishing around 1130am and didn't get hit till around 1230pm... Then we got 9 in the next 4 hours... Then we headed home for some fresh walleye and fries... But as soon as the plates were empty... Back out we went... Fished from 630pm till 830pm landing another 6 walleyes... The part I haven't let you in on was the best part of the day... They were BIG today... Our top 5 were 29" 28" 26" 25" 25" Heres the 2 bigguns... Sorry for the bad picks... Camera phone...
  15. rockbass get us all the time... they nest under pretty well every dock in our bay... and when you take the last step off the ladder... BANG they bite your toes... and dont stop till your out of their area... i know theyre little fish but it scares the poop out of you if you forget theyre still nesting and they get you...
  16. I'm giving the walleyes a chance to wake up and shake out the cob webs...
  17. i love it... its like the blackberry slogan... we use tools not toys... referring to the iphone that can do everything a blackberry can do... why are humminbirds are a toy??? user friendly? simple menu options? cheaper to have downscan?...only $100 with a HB... simple base mounts where you cant bend pins? have great portable pack options? dont get me wrong... if the OP asked about units that are $1000 or more... sure...lowrance hds models for sure...those units are amazing... but at the price of $500... i truely believe HB has the better units... especially since you can get a sonar/gps unit with downscan for $500...
  18. My brother is great at fishing spinners/worm harnesses... And we fish the st.lawrence so my experiences should compare to what you'll run into.... For trolling we use 4oz weights because of the current... Then a 2-3 foot leader made of 20-25lb test mono or florocarbon... Tied to this is a high quality snap swivel... Setting up like this eliminates that twisted up tangle that can happen with spinners... And then the harnes... Keep em short... 8-10 inches... We use steel wire for our spinners and they produce as well as 10lb mono ones... I've even used 100lb florocarbon and it still caught walleye just as good... And size 4 Colorado blades... One hook only on the harness... And we use 3 inch gulp minnows for bait... Trolling speed will be different at every spot you fish because of the different currents in the river... And you don't wanna drag bottom but you always wanna be really close to it... Its a tricky balance of weight...speed...and line out.... If I missed anything... Lemme know... Hope this helps... Mike
  19. Lmao And it's not even one that's shaped like a fish...lol
  20. dont be... his videos are a great resource... check them out
  21. I think that may be an over statement... My F150 FX4 is a gas guzzler To the OP My inlaws had a santa fe and we used it a few times... Pretty nice vehicle... And can't remember any major issues... They just got a Tuscan and its even nicer.... No technical info from me... But as far as comfort and handling... Thumbs up from me... And I'm 6 foot 4 inches tall...
  22. Bass pro has the humminbird 597 ci hd for $499 Same as my unit but doesn't have the down imaging...
  23. Yup And those units can be mounted permanently... Portable... Or with ice ducer... Cabelas has the humminbird 597 ci hd di on sale for like 600 bucks right now... I know thats a bit over budget but I have this unit and love... I use it in the boat as well as on the ice... Great unit for the price....
  24. Just sonar? or sonar with gps combo?
