Congrats on the new pb.

Ooops !!! Got a wee bit exited with the nice pics and double posted. My apologies. Awesome pics....just awesome. Wish I lived in your part of the province Dan.

Some excellent photography Dan, but would we expect anything less. The clarity looking into the water and seeing bottom with such detail is amazing.

Awesome fishing guys. Those are smallies.

Cool. Great idea Cliff.

Looks like fun Dano. Glad to hear all went well. Sweet laker. I would have thought they would be tough to catch this time of year and much deeper than 30 feet. Wayne / Leah have a nice summer home up there. I've fished many different lakes in Ontario, but have yet to experience Temagami. Looking forward to my first visit. Thanks for the report and pics.

It's always nice to get the kids out fishing. A very enjoyable way to spend some time with them.

Definitely some interesting reading. I hope the superb fishing on L. Erie continues forever, but at the same time, the problems have to be addressed.

SWEET !!! Some excellent fish in those pics. It's always nice to hear when someone gets a personal best in a species or biggest fish ever. That scenario has played itself out many time on L. Ontario. Your trip was very rewarding. Thanks for the report and pics.

At least you got out fishing for a while. Nice bow to show for it. Cool.

Sounds like your family had a good time on this trip. Your cottage looks fairly new. Too bad you didn't get much time to fish. Some nice pics though.

Super trip for you. Some sweet looking bass to show for your efforts. Thanks for the report and pics.

Sounds like a good time despite that nick on your wrist. Battle scars come with the sport. We give them to fish and on occasion, get them ourselves.

SWEET !

Good day of fishing Emil, despite the waves. I have to get down there one of these days.

WOW !!! 369 wallies. Good shooting. Sounds like a great time was had by all. Thanks for the beauty report.

Sounds like you have things sorted out Cliff. Good for you. Nice to hear your former employer is having difficulties. It was bound to happen without an important ingredient like you missing from the mix. What comes around, goes around.

I'd love to make it, but work has been crazy lately and I don't know if I'll be able to swing it. It would be nice to see some familiar faces and a few new ones too. I need a couple of hours of chilling time. Actually, I need a couple of weeks. Fishing talk, suds, grub and good people. Heck, can life get any better ?

Welcome to our OFC Community Marc. Thank you for all you do to serve and protect your country and all others.

Too bad the water was rough. At least you gave it a shot and were rewarded for your efforts. Keep at it. If you fish, they will come.

Although I'm a day late, all the best wishes to you for your birthday Roy.

Sounds like a good time. We'll be looking for the pics. Thanks for the report Don C.

I have two older units. A Lowrance fixed unit (5 channel) and a Magellan hand held.(12 channel) The Lowrance is easier to use in my opinion. The handheld eats batteries very quickly, so I usually use it with the lighter socket adapter in the truck or on the boat. I guess an ATV could have a socket to plug it in, but if you're lost in the woods on foot, two AA batteries last only a couple of hours. We had a smaller boat that I wanted to use the Lowrance/GPS with. I rigged a board with the fixed unit mounted to it, GPS antenna included. Another narrow board has the transducer and speed/temp. mounted on it. This gets clamped to any boat transom and you have a portable sonar/GPS, provided there's a 12 volt battery to connect the power wires. The whole thing fits into an old milk crate for transportation. Not the most sophisticated looking set up, but it's worked O.K. since the early 90's. I even took it out ice fishing when we had a snowmobile and sleigh. Didn't have the hand held back then. Good luck with your choice.
