Thanks! For some reason the video is in Hindi…so I’ll just have to take lessons in that and then try.

Still on my iPhone 8 with its original battery, but an upgrade is in order as the charge port is completely worn out and you practically have to tape the charger in place… pain in the rump.

I would have gone today, but it’s -20C with winds gusting to 35kmh…I’ll sit this one out…. Lol.

Yeah, I’m surprised too…I’m seeing lots of first ice fish being caught on my Facebook feed( stinking algorithms) from waaaay south of me. We froze up nearly two weeks ago only for a complete thaw to take place two days after, had to wait another week for it to lock up again. Back in the day I would have found somewhere to fish… but there is a direct correlation to my age and gung ho attitude..the latter has decreased considerably.

Lol… I hear ya, my brain tells me 4” is safe…my sphincter wholeheartedly disagrees with my brain.

The Mayfly is a work of art!

Can you not get replacement batteries?

Hi all, Daytime temps were above freezing yesterday(just) so headed down to the shore for a couple casts, actually did really good for walleye too but they didn't bite until practically dark and the camera doesn't do well in low light. Had 4 or five follows and landed two decent pike while casting...all good....but come on ICE! Before our 'warm up' on Saturday the river, where there is current, had a decent skim and we have double digit minus ℃ for the next week...not long now!

Hi all, Some smaller lakes have some ice here now but its warming up this weekend again, probably at least 2 weeks before ice up here. I am getting my last few fishing fixes from shore here, walleye and pike, got out for 1/2 hour a couple of days ago (seems its dark again two hours after the day begins!), could only cast for pike as the below freezing temps don't work too well for slip bobber walleye, at least I got some bites 😀. The pike are feeding pretty good and loving the Drifter Tackle 'Hell Hound', nice subsurface walk the dog action and it is slow sinking so suspends nicely, lots of bites coming on the pause with a slow twitch/retrieve.

Cool Logo, love the bug!

We are due some + temps here this week too, gonna get a few bits and pieces done while I can.

Hi all, It's that time of year. I could squeeze a couple more weeks in but having to dodge sub zero days to get the power wash on the boat is stressful, anyway, its mostly crappie biting and we caught the hell out of them from mid September, that itch has been scratched pretty good. Will be doing my usual bird hunting and shore fishing until the ice arrives. Bird hunting usually dies off once the snow flies and settles and shore fishing for me is done once its below 0℃ during the day because of line freeze, then my least favourite time of year....waiting for safe ice.....uughhh. On a cheerier note, here's some pics from the last 4 weeks or so, got out solo lots but also with my neighbour and did some guiding for old and new friends.

I feel the same in clear water… lol

Hi All, had some time on my hands and compiled some clips I had on my desktop and finally put them in order. Pike were fantastic this year and Musky even more frustrating than normal. Got lots of small musky and loads of pike while trying for bigger cabbage dragons...lots of action though...good times.

Hi All, Guided some guys from Iowa today for Crappie, I guided them on the ice this past winter and the come up here a few times a year. It was 0℃ when we left with a brisk 25kmh wind, gloves until 12pm and glad I brought extra layers too....fall is here.

The Crestliner in the video is not mine, mine is a bit smaller. I mostly love it, only complaint would be it tilts quite heavily on the drivers side, you have to get up to speed ( minimum 15mph) and trim the motor before it levels out. Not an issue when it’s calm, but you get pretty wet in rough water if you’re having to go slow, again, not an issue in July, but come October…. Yeah.. well… that’s what rainwear is for… lol

I didn’t see too many either through the summer, then again I was mostly on the lake… lol. Lots about now though like you said.

Hi all, we’ve been enjoying a late summer here in NW Ontario, great time of year for getting a limit of grouse on your way to a lake you have all to yourself except the company you bring. Got out last weekend on Lac Seul with some friends from Wisconsin, fish were hungry and the weather was amazing, good times!

Hi all, got out for a morning fish before the nasty weather was due(never showed up in the end). Got a bunch of bass and walleye and was teased by a few musky. Fun morning.

I target walleye off my dock in the spring, the pike are plentiful too. I also use a slip bobber with an 1/8 Oz jig and minnow. I find I rarely lose jigs to pike, Flourocarbon leader helps, even though it’s only 10lb test. Another option is to use a floating jig on the bottom, I’ll use a 3” piece of 30lb Flourocarbon between the floating jig and a swivel, then run a free running sinker behind the swivel on the main line, attach a rod bell and sit back watch the world go by.

Hi All, Got back from work at 8pm yesterday, and despite the inclement weather I went down to the shore to wet a line on the first day of walleye season. It was....🥶COLD🥶...and snowing with a nice 20kmh NE blowing right in at shore, crazy that 4 days ago it was +32C. I got a few though, hopefully it warms up soon.

The year is shaping up to be messed up already. Ice was only completely gone yesterday, but not a single crappie on the ice spots, but lots of walleye in 30’FOW…?!?!?? So..... went for bass in the shallows and not a single bass either??!?? Was trolling around some shore lines of the bays and the water temps were 50F max…and what do I see swimming towards me suspended over 6’FOW? a school of crappie, I set the bobber to 6” and watched them grab the minnow….way too early in my experience to sight fish them in the shallows…another weird year is on the cards.

That’s awesome, fishing is therapy!
