Now that sounds like fun...where are the PICTURES!!!!!?????

Hey JB....it sometimes feels like it couldn't get much better.

Hi all, Went to a small local lake and got into some nice walleye. I Thought the bite was panning out to be an evening bite but found some active walleye in the weeds by accident while messing around with the pike. A the wind dropped and the sun began to set the walleyes in the weeds dissappeared and i moved out deeper(11') and used a slip bobber as the fishfinder was showing the fish being very shy of biting. The calm conditions really lent themselves to this presentation and the walleye were far more willing to bite. A good 2 hours of relaxation after an afternoon of ripping drywall down in my washroom. <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tio6gJyenu4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> NICE CHUNKY WALLEYES FOUND THE DAY WALKERS BY ACCIDENT WITH THIS CONTRAPTION SLIP BOBBERS AT SUNDOWN.........NICE!

I am still haunted by the echoes of your words wayne. I wish...i only get the cravings. Thanks Gord. Some storm we had yesterday eh? I will John, thanks for your support...you guys really help with all this. odaat....lol....will do! Thanks Bubbles....i should be bothered that you call me 'simone'...but strangely i'm not....lol. As for the money...i picked the worst time in history to quit, cuz with the gas prices i'm just about breaking even with my pre hike financial situation

Love the second to last shot...that thing is HUGE! Great post....congrats on a fantastic PB fish.

Yeah...it must have hit there first. Whats the fishing been like....i went a couple of times recently...slow to say the least...all the spots i usually do well at have dried up, marking fish...no takers...fishfly hatch ya think? LOL...yeah...Jack's climber/slide went for a spin round the yard...was quite the scene watching my wife chase it around.....i would have gone out to help....but i'd just done my hair and did not want the wind and rain to ruin it

Hey Blair, yup...sucks to be me! No pics of karter's perch fest? I was gonna do a trip with jack that evening...but the sky looked ominous. Really glad we did stay back, even though the little lake we intended on going to is very sheltered, the wind the storm whipped up was scary LOL...thats what i said too when i walked outside and saw the clouds No probs CPH, my pleasure. Thanks Joey, cant take much credit though, the scenery was there and the point and shoot did the rest. LOL....i was wondering if anyone would notice Me too, I turned off the lights in the living room and Jack sat on my lap and we watched the show for half an hour....He loved it! Yeah the timing of the sunset was perfect! Thannx JDS! Me either, really strange.

Hi all, Just thought i'd announce my success....lol I quit smoking a month ago today. I'm pretty darned pleased with myself, never thought i'd ever even give up. Its been easy some days and a PIG on others. If anyone out there is considering giving it a go just do it! I cannot comment on any other methods people use to quit, but the patches so far have worked great for me. I have been playing around with not wearing them in the last week or 2 and can get by without them...but they do help. I definitely would suggest not wearing them at night....in fact i take mine off a good 3 hours before bedtime....i just use them for the first part of the day most days. Anyway....its early days yet....but i'm liking not being a smoker....hating the cravings and crabbiness though. I did have one really great experience last week. I was heading out for an early morning fish in the boat....the rush of air i could actually breathe in when i opened up the throttle on the tiller was awesome...not been able to breathe that clearly for 30 years!!!

Great report Billy Bob! Glad you had such a great time and got to meet some of the gang on here. This forum is amazing!

This is from the same set of pics tonight Blair....answer your question?....and yes...limit was achieved albeit all very small.

Hi all, The mother of all thunderstorms rolled through here just before sunset, the cloud formations and colors it left behind were stunning....i grabbbed the camera and snapped away....enjoy.

HOLY HELL

Your right...that is a crazy looking musky.....nice sms too.

Great fish Larry!

LOL Dann, i could not believe i said that as i was putting the video together. It certainly broke the quiet from 4 hours of fishing with hardly a sniff of a fish! The net thing was awesome, went to lift and it just started to give, had to drag her to the side of the boat and lift vertically otherwise i'd own a net with a 90 degree bend in it! I did consider lipping it...NOT! I wish i was more popular, then i would not need to multitask so often...lol..fishing solo has made multitasking a necessity! Thanks spincast....it was a weird outing to say the least. If its fishing i'm good, when it comes to work...not so much....lol. This fish must have been around that area for years, it looked like it had been caught a few times before...i bet she is in a few pictures taken by Century lodge guests from over the years! Thanks Paul! what was really cool was that it was the first 'easy' trip since i quit smoking, despite no action for close to 4 hours i dont remember even thinking about a smoke the whole time....guess i was to bust cursing and trying to work out where all the fishes were and what could tempt them out of hiding! Thanks Joey, praise indeed from the the queenn of Mushkaaaay.

Hi all....went out for walleye on Eagle Lake today. To say the bite was slow is not an understatement....i got i walleye and i hammer handle Jackfish in close to 4hrs....before a 42" Musky grabbed my jig and minnow. I think the walleye were just waiting for an evening bite...as they really turned on at around 8pm, got my 4 walleye and 42" of musky for team 2! <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3uqzwI50_vU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Good to see ya back in action Cudz! No wonder that largie's eyes are popping out....he's looking at your beard! Which by the way is almost as good as the report...like it! And i agree with your psychoanalysis of smallies......"NUTS" Keep up the good work dude.

Yeah right...thats it.

Its ok in deep water...i straight jig for lakers in 80FOW and can watch them coming up for my jig. Also an awesome icefishing fishfinder. The transducer for the X47 is the same so you would just 'plug n play' so to speak. Your x47 should have the six pin plug right? anyway...it says on the Lowrance site that the X67c and X47 both use the HST-PSW transducer.

Like you said Maureen...a day in the boat....all good. Sounds pretty similar to my hour in the boat yesterday...slow days happen.

Yeah ...it is kinda like that.

Long story short, lost my transducer off the back of my boat yesterday. Best price for the replacement in town was $124 from Ford dealer(sending one down from their Kenora branch) Online was an average $70 plus shipping = $100+ But here's the thing.....a new lowrance X4 at CT is $99 and comes with a HST-WSU 6 pin plug transducer....the very one i need. So....does this mean that the fishfinder is only worth $20 if you could purchase it seperately....i doubt it! Makes ya wonder. Anyway...gonna go pick an X4 up this afternoon...refit the transducer from it on my color x67c and use the X4 for my universal sonar on my terrova.....awesome.....well....sucks to be spending money on a replacement...but a small silver lining is better than none!

Good stuff Jay. Nice size wallies ya got. Glad to hear you are getting a better work/fishing balance too

Great report B! I also get a lot of half days fishing outings before work, good way to prepare IMO. Nice fishes man, sounds like you had 'em dialed in pretty good. I'd be interested in how you prepare the 'steamed' bass.....a recipe i think would be well worth posting I have to agree with fishburn though.....sm bass taste good...but Largies tatse even better.

Perfect location! love the vid of you and your little girl shooting the rapids. Oh yeah...good pike too!
