Excellent report. Thanx for sharing with us. Could u share your recipe for walleye tornados? They look delicious!

sounds very good. Have to hold off on it. Spent too much $$ this year on fishing equipment. New 4 wheeler in January, Humminbired ice 55, 14' Lund, Bird 798 with side & down scan (nice toy). I figured with my expenses my fish only cost $898.00 per pound??

Thanx for the heads up on the ipilot. I thought it was rather pricey? Is it easy to use? I like the fact I can move around the boat & still have great control of my boat. If using ipilot & u get snagged & have to turn around/back up how do u navigate with ipilot in this situation?

2 thumbs up for the bow mount!! If u r planning to purchase a bow mount I strongly advise the co pilot. U can control the motor any where on the boat.

Fishing in Wolsely Bay I've always had good luck trolling outside the weed beds late in the evening. I used go getters tipped with 1 1/2" of dew worm. Trolling in 8-12 fow has been successful for me.

If you are in the Wolsley Bay area I've had good luck trolling the weed beds late in the evening, using go getters tipped with 1 1/2" of dew worm. I caught nice walleye in 8 - 12 FOW. Good luck

I want to share my experience with my new Min Kota. Ive always used a tiller for trolling but found it difficult to control the boat especially if a light breeze was blowing. I recently bought a 14' Lund with a 30 hp Suzuki. Awesome package! I decided to install a 55 lb bow mount electric, power drive (energy saver). First I want to say it was very easy to install, 2nd it gives a whole new definition to boat control. WOW I'm impressed. I can troll approximately 20 hours on a week end & return with only half the battery charge used! I also purchased the co pilot which is a wireless remote to control the motor. Best piece of equipment on my boat!!

Thanx for the pix. Beautiful scenery. Those bass are indeed black. Ive fished the lakes near Gogama, the wallys & perch are the blackest I've ever seeen.

Nice bass. U guys rock! Guess u could say U were "kickin bass"

Thanx for your input. It's easy to pull. 3-4 pulls when it's cold, after that a quick jerk of 12" on the cord & I'm good to go

Thanx Chad, nice pix!

Thanx for the report. I enjoyed your pix.

I see alot of mercs on the water, r they really that bad?? I plan to keep the Suzy but would like the electric start. Thanx

Good morning fellow fishers. I haven't been posting recently due to heavy work load, finally got on the water for the first time this past week end. I recently purchased a used 14' Lund with a 30 hp Suzuki. Boat & motor is awesome. Motor starts & runs very good. It has the capability of installing electric start. I enquired with a dealer here in Sudbury & was astonished to find it would cost in the neighbourhood of $2,000.00. WOW! Can anybody help me with a better solution. Your comments/ suggestions are appreciated. I can purchase a brand new Merc 25hp 4 stroke, electric start for $3,500.00 The boat is very fast with the 30hp. Top speed is 29 mph. So a 25 hp would be fine. On a side note I fished 3 days on 2 lakes north of Sudbury. Walleye were on fire! Everybody in camp was catching. I landed 14 in the range of 14" - 18", one was over 22" weighed 3 lbs., & a 3 lb pike. The smaller guys were released, kept only 4 for the frying pan.

Thanx TJ, I'd like to send this to my contacts. I'm not very good with computers. Could someone instruct me how to forward TJs post (video) to my email contacts. Thanx for your help.

Good luck to you & your family. 12 years ago I lost my mother, father & younger brother all within 13 months. I know the pain U R going through.

There R many hotels to visit. Sheraton Fallsview, Hilton at the casino,Marriott, Sheraton 4 points etc etc. If u R looking for a cheaper rate travel a little west of the Falls along Lundys Lane. The further U go from the Falls the cheaper it is. Depends what U need/want. Cairn Croft Best Western is reasonable, indoor pool, bar, live bands at night. Best food is Mama Mias, 4 Brothers, for fine Italian dining go to Casa Mia on Portage Rd. Tons of restaurants. For wings, pizza, finger foods, best in the area Mick & Angelos on Lundys Lane. Travel 15 minutes west on Hwy 20 (Lundys Lane)to Fonthill you'll be at my house!

I don't see anything wrong!!

I'm sure the bacon wrap, BBQ sauce etc is very good, but I like to taste the fish, not all the spices. Hell a round steak with 400 lbs of spices might be good . Not sure never tried it?

congrats Nick, keep us posted

Gonna fish couple of small lakes near Gogama. Usually have to clean fish (walleye) after 4 or 5 hours of teaching worms how to swim!!

Oh I should add, I did catch fish!

How good are the contours for the app, do that get down to 1ft?

No they R not that accurate, but I was able to navigate Nipissing very well when I had never fished this area at all.

I usually just pan fry the fillets in butter no added spices, I like to taste the real thing. But having said that I will occasionally do this. Smash up rippled potato chips with your grandmothers rolling pin (it's a round thingy used mainly for spreading pie doe), coat the fillets with egg wash, coat with the chips, into the frying pan. Get a cold beer & enjoy. (U mean fishermen drink beer!)

I have an Iphone, purchased the navionics app for $15.00. Detail is good for Lake Nipissing & Georgian Bay. When I had my Lowrance chartplotter the navionics gold chip was $300.00!!
