NAW

I've used that set-up a few times the last few years. I use a half of a power or gulp worm and sometimes it is the only thing that will produce strikes.

It was the only thing working that day. The other guy in the boat got skunked, and he tried everything.. All the other guys we talked to got skunked for walleye as well.

Nice! What were you gettin' them on?

A slow death hook and a worm, with a 4' flouro leader, and a slip sinker. Trolling a 1mph in 12 fow.

Looks like a nice day out there!

I know it's not what your looking for, but i town my boat with a VW Golf.. Max load in it is 1260lbs.. Way more then my boat ways. Wicked on gas.. Weather I have a trailer on or not.. Around 700kms per 50L tank. I'm not going to buy a truck until i get a BIG boat. Just a waste of money for me at this point in my life.

I just learned how to use Photobucket, so i wanted to test her out.

I'm really just posting this to make sure my photobucket account and linking are working properly..

I hit G-bay last weekend in search of Pickerel. I've never caught a pickerel before, and it was my number one goal for this season to catch one. Canada Day weekend, my fishing partner, and my wife both landed an eye each, but not me

Last weekend was my turn.

Hopefully these pictures work out.

I posted these pics earlier this week, but not with Photobucket, so it was a little messed up...

Can everyone see these pics??

I like the last pic the best

Thanks for the report man.

Sounds like you had the eyes figured out.... Nice

Ya, for once

It was a great day on the water for sure.

This is my rig to make sure I'm in the right place, and the right speed... The Slow Death rig works best at 1 mph. Gets the worn twirling just right.

Hey.. How can I attach more the one pic per post...??

This guy was around 19"

The second 20"er

The 20"er from this morning.

Ant the 15.75" eye from this morning.

I figured G-bay was a good bet for this weekend. My regular fishing partner Steve had to work, so I called up one of my SAR unit teammates, who was more then happy to fill the position.

Woke up at 4 am, on the water around 5:30. (should have been 5:00, but there was a long wait at Tim’s for some reason, then we watched Barrie PD arrest a drunk guy, and break up a college house party..)

I trolled an Erie Derie for about 2 hours with a few bites, but no takers. We where in anywhere from 6’ to 25’, and trolling about 3km/h.

I switched to a slow death rig, slowed down to about 1.5km/h, in 8’ to 12 FOW. 5 minutes later and there's a Pickerel in the boat!

In the next two hours, I boated 3 more. What a great day!!

The first was 15.75”; next two where both around 20”, and the last about 19”. One under the slot for the dinner table!!

Here's a pic of a smallie from last weekend. Sorry about the poor quality pics, they where all taken on my cell phone..

A good map, a compass, and experience (which it sounds like they had), and it's pretty hard to get lost. Crap happens though.

A father and son went on a "4 day" canoe trip. They got messed up somehow on the way. So the father set up camp, and the son went off to try to find a road. They found the father, but havn't been able to find the son.

The article maps out the route they where planning on taking. I don't know the area, but it sure seems like a lot of ground/water to cover in 4 days!

I beleive there are two 3 Mile Lakes in the Muskokas. Are you talking about the one with cottages on it, near Lake Joe, or the one that's inside the conservation reserve near Housey's Rapids?

I was looking forward to eating some fish this weekend...Now....Not so much..

any boat with a flat bottom will be stable, if you plan on some shallow water and rock sliding on the grand an abs or roylex boat will be best. Read up on initial vs secondary stability and see what is best for your situation.

I just read up on this. Great advice.. Thanks!

sportspals are great canoes. They have this foam floats running down each side, and a good shape, which make them very stable.

I own a very old aluminum springbok that has a very stable shape to it. The sides bulge out and make it very wide, similar to the effect given by the foam supports on the sportspals.

I used to run a 4hp motor off the side of my canoe. I could sit in the canoe sideways, and lean back on the motor with my feet up on the opposite gunwale, and the cane wouldn't come close to tipping.

I can pretty well stand up on one gunwale, and the canoe will not flip. It's the most stable canoe I've ever been in. My dad bought it when we lived in Pickle Lake to run the river up there. It's also very long, and good for loading up, or taking the family out in.

I'm not saying all springboks are very stable canoes, but this paticular model ranks up there with the best of them.

Another thing to watch for is Poision Ivy.. Dogs go running though that stuff, then you pet them, and get it on your hands. Or worse, they run thought it, then go for a afternoon napsky on your pillow!!

As mentioned before in this thread, I alway put a life vest on my dog when she's in the boat. She jumped overboard once while we where in motion, and almost got run over..

Good job finding those pickrel! I've tried and failed on Sparrow..

That's wicked man. Can't wait to see the episode.

Nice catch Cudz.

For a minute there, I thought you where trying to disguise your self so your students didn't recognize you this summer..

Nice Fish!!!

How hard is it to pull of those lampreys. Do they stick on really good?

Thanks guys. I was sunny in barrie a few minues ago.

I read this post.. Then went outside to roll my windows up, and now it's just starting to rain.
