Yup its a Mitchel....part of a $39 walmart combo...have 2 with rear drag and one front drag....use them in summer and on the ice...3rd year now....i treat 'em like @#$# but they keep going......awesome little reels. In fact Walmart sell them seperately for $39....so might as well get the combo as the spinning rod is excellent too...in fact it was the rod that attracted me...good for walleye jigging(sensitive) good for casting for all sorts too.

snoring aint a problem...we got 9+ acres...lol....just bring a tent!

Welcome to the site Rick! Nice boat....ENJOY!

Nice one Cudz....they really come into their own on the ice though.

Nice yakfishies....real nice!

You never cease to impress Raf....i only dream about catching Lakers like that....Awesome job once again.....no Ben with ya this time?

hi all, seems weird to be casting from shore and jigging in the boat for close of walleye season...but i'll take it! End of walleye was on wednesday and got out in the boat, but also got a quick shore session in front of the house after baby went to sleep. The evening of the 13th was picture perfect.....no wind stunning sunsets and wildlife coming out of hibernation....felt like a july evening on the shore, even got bit by a couple of bugs. WAS SO NICE ON OUR SHORE TUESDAY EVENING Fishing with a knuckle ball jig (chart/orange) and just lazily casting it out 20yrds or so usually brings in supper, and after a slow start i landed a few small walleye, just the perfect way to wind down after chasing baby Jack around the whole day.....lol GOT A FEW SMALL WALLEYE ALL C&R <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> Wednesday we headed back to Eagle lake to fish the closing day (walleye). The weather was miserable compared to the evening before with high winds and rain, but it was so cool to be fishing in the boat it did not deter us or dampen our spirits....never does anyway. We decided to go exploring and spent the first few hours way down the south west arm of the lake, trying different stuff with little to no fish in the boat. Most exitement was a nice walleye Al got, which looked like it got into a fight with a muskie, and an eagle that snatched a small jackfish that was not feeling to good after the unhooking process right off the surface. THIS EAGLE FOLLOWED US ALONG SHORE FOR OVER A MILE...LOOKING FOR SCRAPS AND GOT SOME! Fishing was 'tough' till sunset, then the switch was flicked over to 'bite' and we got our limit in no time at all. Once again a CO turned up, this time shouting questions at us from shore....good bit in the vid where i'm holding a slot fish whilst clarifying what vehicle was mine at the landing to the CO. Also met my fishing buddy Lew out ther...he was fishing from shore with his dad, anyway, we spent an hour with some non stop action, upgrading our fishes as we went and had a nice stringer by the end of the day when we were treated to another gorgeous sunset.

Wow, hes a big guy for 16 months. I really hope my boy is as keen as your boy in 3 months time! Great report...thanks for sharing.

Great report Jer, nice looking table fare there. Thanks for sharing.

Good stuff Carole, great to see you back in action fishing again. Thanks for the report.

Bank manager

awesome stuff you guys..dont really know what else to say....but i love reading the steelhead posts...never done it....but looks like a blast! Thyanks for posting

Your talents extend beyond fishing MJL...the poem was an awesome read! Great pics and report bud....... keep 'em coming!

DAN...U DA MAN! I can only hope my son wants to fish and camp like your boy....you did a great job there with the young 'un. Thanks for sharing. Simon

Great stuff Stoty, i'm gonna try find those pesky critters myself next week. PS....love the shows Italo.

Thank you so much folks, very kind words making a very proud dad even prouder.....must work on his bad habit of trying to eat the minnows....lol....now that would be a test for Gulp!....wonder if he would eat that.....just kidding Thaknks Syn....already backed up Thanks Joey Yup....first fish he catches is getting the tourney sign on it for sure! By the way.....i got a 27" walleye for an upgrade and am sending along the bonus inches for the Crappie too...check your inbox

I bought a new 55# Terrova with the auto pilot and co-pilot (key fob remote control) I absolutely love it, it deploys effortlessly unlike the Minnkota Powerdrive which is a royal pain in the ass to deploy. The only thing i would say i dont like about it is that that speed increments on the remote control are too crude otherwise it is an awesome unit, more than enough power for my 16' Alumarine. It also has a transducer built into the prop head, it works flawlessly....now i just gotta save for a Lowrance HD unit for the back and connect my X67c to the Terrova at the front. I'd recommend the Terrova.......Cabelas Canada (winnipeg) had the best price on them last year, even when the Loonie was at par and above.

Awesome report Marko! That Mirror is a really clean specimen!

Great stuff Ec1, i had reall difficulty trying to find tcrappie on the ice in a lake i know this winter, hopefully i can find them like you guys did when i get in there after walleye season closes here. Good move finding the will to haul your gear and try again. ENJOY SUPPER!

Was at home with my son all day today while Mrs. Limeyangler was at work. jack my son was in a restless /whiney mood and by 3pm i was beginning to get a little restless myself. I decided to try him out fishing for the first time as the weather was windy but a decent 14C. Headed down to a small local lake instead of out the front of the house for a change of scenery for both of us. Jack had a blast. I think he really loves being outside, and had an a great time as custodian of the minnows. he had his whole arm in the minnow bucket and was totally absorbed by the little creatures for the whole half hour we stayed. Got some priceless video and picture memories of our first fishing trip together.....just thought i'd share it with y'all. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Id say $6000

Throw 3 doz sucker minnows in and you got a deal! LOL KF, yeah....i kinda hope it is a blip....nice as it is.....but with the lack of snow on top of the warmer weather i'm sure if this turned into a trend it would have some impact on the eco systems of the lakes....not sure what they'd be...but cant be good.

Awesome fish Bushy...good stuff.

Right where i am. NW Ontario by the lake with 1000s of other lakes nearby. If i win the Lottery it would be somewhere tropical, Belize, Grenada, Antigua or south Pacific like Fiji.

Yup...i made the mistake last year of turning onto Silver water wheel turn off to get to williams...that road is awkward to say the least....lol i actually saw an ad for guides up there...was tempted to throw my hat into the pile and apply...but i have no experience at guiding and it would be difficult to be away from home with the baby here now.
