Thanks for all the tips gentlemen. We rented from Tamar Vacations. Did the same trip before so I know going into Cross lake can be iffy if the prop is very low but we have not had issues with Tamar's boats getting through before. We will also be towing a 9.9 hp aluminum boat. I scoped out cross lake with Google earth, and the shoals are very obvious and I marked them all off. That being said, nothing beats a good point in the right direction from people who have fished cross lake before. Any specific tips on good spots to camp and good spots to fish would be very welcome. This is the plan so far: Bass: Topwaters, X-raps and soft plastics (Senkos + Tubes). Crawfish and Shad patterns? Trout: I will buy 1oz jig heads and jig a grub or a tube?. Colours? Walleye: Jigs and Crank baits. Colours? BIG pike: Fish where the walleye and trout roam. Thanks again! I promise you all a report w/ pics!

Hey OFC, Going Houseboating on Temagami and Cross lake over the long weekend. We will also be towing an aluminum fishing boat. We have a fishfinder and hopefully an electric motor. The goal of the trip is to catch a good specimen of each of Temagami's finest. Atlease 1 small mouth bass, 1 Pike, 1 Walleye and 1 Lake trout. I am traditionally a Bass and Pike fisherman, and my equipment reflects this. Have never gone for walleye or Lake trout before. I own a 6'6 MH St.Croix premier with a Shimano Stradic 2500fi, I spooled it up with 8lb black fireline and a 5 ft fluorocarbon leader attached with a double-uni knot. I also have a M action rod with a shimano sahara 2500 with 8lb Trilene xl monofilament. My research suggests big pike and lake trout are deep the time of year. Can anyone vouch for the three-way swivel technique? Thanks for any help. Cheers! J
