Anybody use these on the Kawarthas for eyes?
Picked one up yesterday. Thinking of putting a grub on the back.
Does the hook rotate or does it stay barb up, to be somewhat weedless?
thanks
The walleye bite has slowed on Pigeon this last week.
Seem to remember an article in a magazine that said eyes will feast on lakebottom mayfly nymphs in season.
There's a ton flying around the lake
Or do I need to change tactics.
Been getting them on 5 inch pumpkinseed grub/jig or bucktail
I've read most of Tom Clancy's stuff.
Most CIA, cold war, terrorism busting.
He wrote "Hunt for Red October"
real "Guy" stuff. Can't put it down. Some are long
Had a heavy one on last week jigging for eyes on Pigeon.
Couldn't budge her as she circled the boat. No head shake. Didn't see her
Then she released the smalley on the hook.
The bass was in bad shape.
Hope she's around on the weekend
all in the slot.
of the 8 that I've caught the last 2 weekends, all in the slot.
last year, about half were over
Had a couple meals. the rest are filleted and frozen in water in a ziplock bag
I've heard some people add milk instead of water?
Picked up 4 in an hour just at sunset in a small bay with a southwest wind blowing into it.
Bucktails, slammers and crankbaits all caught fish.
Didn't seem to matter 69 degree water
At the cottage (Pigeon) lots of big dragonflies hovering around grabbing lots of mosquitoes.
Love those guys.
Always remind me of Vietnam Hughey Helos.
Besides, who else can have sex while flying
So Guys.
I have more info from this weekend.
Current prop is 13 1/4 x 17.
WOT with just me and a full tank of gas is 6200. 42 mph. (with tip of one blade chewed)
the decision remains, 1. buy same 2 . 4 blade aluminum. 3. change prop size/pitch
I would prioritize hole shot and slower trolling speed over top speed
thanks lots
so....no hotdogs this time.
got worried Sat am when I'm the only boat in the northeast arm all morning.
tried perch Walleye Diver and Huskie Jerk. nothing Sat-Sun.
found eyes in green weeds in 6-12 ft on Mon
switched to 1/2 oz chartreuse jig with a yellow perch 3 1/4 inch swammer.
nailed 7. lots of Rockies
65 degrees this morning
thanks everybody

French River will give them the awesome Canadian Shield beautiful experience they know over there.
Will likely be during wicked blackflie season unless you go end of June.
Way less blackflies on Manitoulin, though
Heading up to the cottage this weekend, on North Pigeon.
10 days ago, just lots of BIG OOS smallies. Couldn't find the 'eyes.
Fished 4-12 ft where there are weedbeds in the summer.
Any idea where they will be this weekend?
Tired of hotdogs
