hi all, just thought i'd ask....do you think this is fair/right...a plumber recently did some work at our place...he had an 'assistant' with him. This looked like a kid doing his apprenticeship who stood and watched most of the time....only thing is the bill states we are being charged @$59 p/h labour for him on top of the plumber's $80p/h labour charge. The $80 is the going rate for a plumber around here...but i resent having to pay $59 an hour for someone standing there watching /listening and handing the guy wrenches...i could be wrong but i'm pretty sure the kid doesn't get $59 an hour either. Just thought i'd throw this out there...i know there are some plumbers on here...what do you think because i'm apt to argue this with the guy.

Hi all, went out yesterday for a few hours at william's Bay on lac Seul. The first couple hours produced the usual suspects of 20" to 24" fish with some keepers and even lost what was probably my biggest ever SMbass..oh well. After that i tried deep but the majority of the fish were small. Despite the size the fishing was non stop...even in 37'FOW it was a bite a cast. Because of this i started experimenting and messing around with baits etc...slip bobbers, twister tails(i never use them) and even four inch white tube jigs inspired by a smelt a walleye coughed up all worked. Slip bobbering in nearly 40 feet of water was funny. Jigs with minnows, leeches, suckers and nightcrawlers all work...so did combinations. A good lazy , hot day on Lac Seul...just what the doctor ordered!

lol...nice fish. I have only managed to watch the first vid as i have crappy connection at work. I also have to have the volume turned down so cant hear the antics...great vid though and a fat fishy

a couple of pretty big bass right there...never had luck on tubes up here....mepps seem to be killer.

WHAT...NO PICCIES??

nice wallies...real nice.

LOL....your a mental patient dude....

good stuff Chris...that little bass is awesome....feisty little bugger!

Exactly what i was thinking. Great report and pics RC!

Great pics Mike...thanks for sharing those. I had to laugh, my boy Jack had an elephant too...he would chew the trunk too...he thought it was hilarious.

Great story telling Kwan...sat here with a coffee and a muffin ....good stuff. Congrats on yer first

damn great report Mike! you may have just inspired me to get my boat sorted out!

Good day on the water...awesome of you to set the kids up with the spinner....and as for jet skiers...well i wont get the thread shut down so i'll leave it at that...lol.

What a beauty!

i think someone else already said this...but... i've had incredible days fishing despite conventional wisdom about optimal fishing conditions suggesting fishing should have been crap to awful and the opposite where optimal conditions = abysmal results. I have had spookily accurate solunar predictions on numerous occasions, and do think there is something to it....however....on some lakes i fish the walleye bite is an evening bite almost exclusively...so when a solunar table says the 'the hot bite' is from 12pm to 2pm...lol...i dont pay it much attention.

Good job Matt.....my first (targeted) also came on a believer.

nice link canuck! That underwater video is really clear! now what can i sell for 200 so i can go get one of those.

thanks...just wondering why you could not see bait fish

Just out of interest Mike....what was your old sonar?

RIP Jack...i did agree with a lot of what you said!
