1 small split shot 18" up from your bait - u don't want your bait too close to the boat because in shallow water the boat is spooking the fish. I like my bait to be far from the boat.

I have fished this area for 5 years now - no problem getting walleye. I use "go getters" - small version of a worm harness, single hook, 1 spinner blade, 3 or 4 colored beads tipped with part of a dew worm. I fish shallow 8-12' at the edge of the weed beds. Last summer I was there every week end, chartreuae was the color to use. This year I've had good luck with silver blade, red beads. Have fun!!

We were on Erie yesterday slammin the walleye. Contrary to what the weather forecast was the lake was calm. We boated a nice 5 lb about 7:30AM then nothing for 2 hours. Caught a small 3 lb around 12 noon. A friend in another boat decided the fishing was slow so he left. We trolled into another area WOW - 4 nice wallys in less than an hour. Over all for the day 8 wallys, 1 9lb, 4@ 5 - 6lb, 2@ 3lb. Beauty day!! Oh yah 1 smallie @2.5 lb. 2 weeks ago we caught 5 wallys - boated my biggest at 29", 9.5lb. I would like to post some pix but lack the knowledge how to do this. If someone could email me with step by step instructions I'd appreciate your help. Thanx

Thanx for the report. I'll be going to Windsor for the August civic holiday weekend. Have u heard any reports of walleeye fishing in Colchester. There's a childrens derby in Colchester on the Saturday I'll be helping out with.

I'd suggest a helicopter with the large cargo net suspended below to fly in a skid of beer!! I first saw the cargo nets while fishing up in Terrace Bay Ont. Cost - not too sure!! Have a good time!!

Congratulations!! What lake? Were u trolling or jigging - if so how deep??

I used JB Quik weld on my leaky rivetts. Worked very well. Buy at CTC, mix the parts together as per instructions - no leaks!!

I've been fishing that area for 4 years - just north of the park there are lots of smaller lakes. We were there the July 1st holiday week end. Did great with the walleye, pike & perch. There are no musky or bass in our lake. Small worm harnesses are the key bait for eyes & pike. Perch were even taking our harnesses while trolling!! While camping there was a forest fire 1 mile south of us. MNR helicopter & water bomber were on site within minutes. Amazing watching the bomber pick up water then disperse it over the fire!!

I'm Heading up from Sunday till Wednesday. I've gone a little crazy with purchasing tackle lately. A year ago it would have been my trusty abu spincast rod and reel and whatever tackle I could string together. Now I seem to have 3 baitcast setups with another on the way ((I got a good deal on a revo toro from ebay). Was wondering what to bring. I am going to bring some bass stuff, and want to experiment with drop shotting. Should I bother packing Musky gear or not? We plan on renting a boat, if that helps.

Thanx for the pix. Looks like a great day!!

Nice wallys Steve!! We were near Pt Maitland Sunday trolling for wallys but probably not deep enough. We were in 50 - 55 fow, marked a few but no takers. Also tried for perch near the mouth of the river. 6 other boats & my boat - no perch being caught.

Fish porn - gotta love it!! Thanx for sharing. I'm heading to Gogama to boat some wallys on Thursday - only 3 more sleeps YAHOO!!

I use a tupperware container, at least the juice is now in 1 place instead of all over your boat & gear. Another positive about gulp alive - I put some of my other plastics in the jar of juice to have scent on some otherwise unscented plastics. Good luck

Yes perch are one of the best eating fish I know of!! If a few worms are present they can be cut out or as stated above cook the fish & no harm to u. I have eaten a few fish over the years with worms & yet to be sick because of them.

I'm for Timmies @ the launch!! My favourite launch is 96 km to the nearest gas staion. Do ya think a drive thru would be profitable?

I love the planning, packing & the road trip to Gogama. There are so many lakes to fish it is awesome!! Bass, pike, perch, walleye are all available. We camp at Lake XX - what a great feeling getting up at 5:00 AM the first morning to explore the spots where we caught fish last year. I decided to fish a lake I'd never been to before. Quick report - 1st hour 7 walleye caught & released, move down the lake 1 km, 21 walleye in a heavy rain storm in 1-1/2 hours!! I was in the area last week end - line in the water at 6:00AM, 4 walleye caught & released by 6:20AM

I use gulp alive for perch & crappies, very successful. I must admit I always buy minnows. If the bite is good I'll switch to gulp alive, the bite may slow down a bit, but, I still catch fish. If the bite is slow I'll use live minnows & gulp alive to see what is working. They do have a problem of leaking smelly juice in the boat so I store the small bottles of 1" & 2" minnows in a sealed tupperware container. Also put some of my other small plastics in the jar of gulp juice.

Thanx for the info at Elwood Epps. When I was a youngster my father always stopped to browse while on our way further north. Unfortunately I won't be in the area. Bills you r losing 8 - 1!!

I'm still here!! I don't post often but enjoy all the great reading on this site. Thanx to the contributors!!

I just finished sanding & painting my ATV trailer. I used a spray can product called "zero rust" which is available at a body shop supplier. The sales person told me it is a better product than Tremclad. u might want to search this product. 1 issue is, it is not availble in gloss finish - only flat. Good luck

Welcome Pike guy. I had the great opportunity to work in Sudbury last summer for 3 months. I worked for All Purpose Crane Rental (I'm a crane operator). Great bunch of guys. Although I've never fished Ramsay I fished lots of the smalls lakes near the Watershed truck stop every week end. U folks have an excellent fishery just north of Sudbury. Today I'm targetting perch on Lake Erie!! WOO HOO!!

I love my digital scale. When I first received it I took it to our local butcher shop & the owner compared a couple of pieces of meat on his scale versus my new digital. Mine is very accurate to his scale!! I also use it for other things such as weighing the amount of fertilizer to put on my lawns. Scotts recomends 3lbs of fertilizer per 1000 square feet. Very simple - put the fertilizer in a pail, weigh it & I'm good to go. Don't forget to subtract the weight of the pail (tare). Also weighing sausage when we're making up our home made pork sausage in January. Shows me how much waste there is in a pork shoulder after weighing the finished product. Enjoy your new toy!!

Good to hear they got busted. I fish for a small meal, release alot especially while having a good day catching. I want my grandchildren to be able to catch a fish in their future. Thanx Cliff.

I've been told the smaller kitties are good to eat. I've never tried them. Do u guys eat the Dunnville kitties??

Garnets method does work, I know, I've tried it. Another method to remove line twist is to remove all hardware (bare line). Let out all your line while running your boat at trolling speed - allow the line to un twist in the water as u troll. Reel it back in & you are good to go. Hope this helps. I tried spooling all fluro on a spinning reel & had nothing but problems. Now I use trilene mono with a 5' -6' leader of fluro.
