Not sure what u mean?

Tried this on today for my crankbait casting rod, first time. Super smooth. Casts a mile with spinning gear. I hope it’s as strong and durable as Nonofil. The inevitable incidental Muskie will let me know soon enough

Thought you took too many blue pills ?

I have an older Lowrance HDS 7. Good unit. But the newer ones are way better and can link to your electric trolling motor. Something to think about. I’m thinking next one will be Humminbird linked to a new MinnKota motor.

I think the Jays winning the World Series made an impression on lots of Yanks. It put Toronto/Canada on the map for many ignorant Americans that thought we live in igloos. Ditto Raptors. Perhaps.

Never followed Basketball. Gotta admit it’s been fun to watch. Mainly the last 10 minutes. ?

Weather Network forcasting temps to be 5 degrees C cooler than average next 2 wks. Going to delay water temp increases and weed growth.

Awesome!

Agree with Fisherman based on the research I did before buying my Honda 420. I want a reliable machine and am willing to pay extra for that. Same with my outboard (Yammy). You want fuel injection, power steering and 4 wheel independent suspension. Yamaha and Honda don’t make a 2 up. No CVT belt with Hondas.

Nice! Never caught one of those beauties. Do they fight more like lakers or brookies?

Nice. You see those on the Fraser R. sturgeon fishing shows.

Amazing

Locks and lifts opening date delayed till next Friday May 24 due to high water. Peter

OK. You are right. I think the extra week only applies to the dam at Hastings. Thanks for that. Didn’t know. Peter

Right. So where do you get that there is an extra week?

I must be missing something. In these fish sanctuaries there is no fishing until the second Saturday in May. That’s walleye opener in Zone 17.

Hey MJIG, wondering how one finds out about this last minute change? Just looked at the 2019 MNR regs for Zone 17 and it says nothing.

Well said. People are unwise to build on floodplains and below high water mark. Who pays for damages? Owner for sure. Insurance companies usually don’t grant flood insurance in flood prone areas. Governments who grant building permits in these areas? On our first trip to the Outer Banks in NC we saw most ocean waterfront homes on block stilts. At a museum we saw hurricane water surge levels up to near the top of the stilts. No brainer.

Thanks for that Sinker. Will try again. Last year I just boated around on opening morning to see where the “crowd” was. I just saw boats at the usual spots people fish all season.

Based on your advice in the past I’ve done that. Got tired of pulling in 99% panfish ?

Water levels have dropped 6 inches in the last week on Pigeon. Still 12 inches above summer levels. Season opens Saturday. I always struggle in May. The June pattern of rip jigging weeds doesn’t work for me early season. What’s your approach going to be?

So. Enlighten me. These walleyes in the St Clair and Detroit Rivers - are they out of Erie and Lake St Clair spawning there?

Just search Amazon ca. They changed the connector from the pedal to the motor in 2007, I believe. From a flat connector to round. I think it was about $120. A bit more at Bass Pro.

Came across this in Buckhorn. Talked to a guy. It’s the Happy Days houseboat staff weekend. They go out the weekend before opening as the kick off for the season. Checked the boats out too. They have over 20. Sold out for 2019. Booking 2020.

Thanks. Just got lucky, Lew. Trolling the channel off Cesarea using a Stalker. Caught 3 fish that evening over 45 in. Must have been the right moon. The challenge was safely landing and releasing the big girl. She swam away nicely. Hope she survived. Was September. The water wasn’t too warm.
