Great report Mike, Awesome fish you got, i might even get to go to BPS this year.....cant wait...even if i dont buy anything(doubt that...lol) its like being a kid in a candy store.

Congrats on the bass T.J. the set up in the cabin is impressive...very cool.

Nice work John....great when a new rig works out. Thse redhorse look like a type of sucker fish...or are they carp related...or both...or none....lol.

Hey guys, lol....thanks for the replies. First off i always thought it was a groundhog, just checkin to make sure. Lol, Glen....i got the Musky joke, and your right, its not the first time that people have told me i've caught musky when i even know its a pike....lol.....i'm still a musky virgin!

Awesome report Cliff, Sydney strikes again (it is sydney right?). What a classic line from the girl out in the boat....priceless...your a lucky man.

Sonds like a good time. Your right, definitely some good folk on here, have had the pleasure of meeting Benbeattie through this site, great guy and certainly one to learn from. Just hope to meet a few more people on here over the years, better get myself south and east then....lol.

I feel your pain Clofchik, this time last year i was catching 35"ers every cast almost, this year its been much quieter.

Hi all, After finally sorting out my trolling motor (the barstewards sold me a dud first time round and I drove to Winnipeg (4hrs with a screaming baby.....to pick up the replacement...would have taken 3 weeks otherwise) I got out in the boat again. Went back to where we had some good walleye last week. I’ve said it before....i like company when fishing, but sometimes being on your own is bliss too...today being on my own was just what the doc ordered. BLISS, DID NOT SEE ANOTHER BOAT ALL AFTERNOON...... I was going for walleye, was raging my Beetlespin with minnow around the shallow river/creek that connects this smaller lake to the main lake Wabigoon. I got 2 very walleye like bites but failed to set the hook on both. With the wind down the Autopilot on my new Terrova was really awesome, it allowed me to concentrate on fishing more than steering, and i found myself casting a lot more than i normally do. I was flipping the jig at the shoreline leading up to the bay where we hammered the walleye and crappie last week. This shoreline is awesome for bass, but i thought it was too early....until................ NICE 16" SMALLIE (actually not the 1st of the season, i got a couple 2 weeks ago...lol...i forgot) THINKING I WOULD NOT GET ANOTHER THAT DAY I WAS QUICK TO GET THE TOURNEY SIGN OUT....LOL It did not take more than 5 or 6 casts before i hooked into the second one, this one felt t much better, could tell it was a bass straight away, and a better one too. I had to decide whether i should grab the camera and risk it getting off, but the urge to film got the better of me....lol....though i did lose a couple today doing that. MUCH BETTER, 19" , ! MORE FOR INCHES FOR TEAM 3# The bite died down after that one, so i took the opportunity to get acquainted with the new motor. I was finding that using the variable dial control on the foot pedal to adjust speed whilst using autopilot was much better than using the Co-pilot speed control, which increases speed in pre-set increments. I also hooked up my fishfinder to the Universal Sonar in the motor, i had heard mixed reviews of the sonar ....but it worked perfectly with my unit, now i have to buy another fishfinder....lol. LOVIN' MY NEW TERROVA, SONAR EVEN WORKS!!!! After messing around with the motor i set it to troll along a nice straight stretch of shoreline. The bite was slow to pick up, but i hit a little bay like piece of structure on the shoreline which was holding a lot of bass in a small area. I got three, and missed two, that will teach me to try and film....lol...so i did mostly still shots after that, get them in the boat first....lol. 3 MORE SMALLIES, ONE RIGHT ON 18" The rain started to hammer down shortly after catching those 3, and once it stopped, so did the bite. I trolled around searching different locations and only came up with a few snot rockets like this one. I also filmed a random critter searching the shoreline. I have no idea what it was, was not a beaver as it had a fluffy tail and not the flat beaver tail...any ideas? ONLY GOT A FEW MORE SNOT ROCKETS LIKE THIS GUY ANY IDEAS WHAT THIS RANDOM CREATURE IS I was gonna try the main lake for some walters, but a storm was moving in, glad i took off when i did, cuz literally seconds after getting the boat on the trailer, the mother of all thunderstorms hit. Great few hours on the lake, nice the bass are around.

Gotta love the days when everything is biting, Looks like you took a bite out of that Sheepshead. Just kidding Bruce , hope you aren't too badly sunburned after that great day out.

Rough couple of days there buddy...my condolences. Ok....lol...i choked on my oatmeal cooky when i scrolled down to see the pic..AWESOME PIKE...congrats

Really enjoyed that. I have to admit THE FRST THING I NOTICED WAS THE 'MULLET' ..good one. That Chinook your dad is holding is a beaut...he's grimacing trying to hold it up. Thanks for sharing. Simon

WTG! Freak fish....talk about a sow...lol...i mean hog. Great fish porn, thanks for posting. Send us some of that weather please.

Glad people are enjoying the rports...i love putting them together. It was one of the hardest things to do my friend...believe. A year ago i would have taken 'the look' after ignoring one or two shouts from the house, but my wife is working her socks off with the baby at the moment...and fair's fair. LOLOL....BOTH! If i ever get a gun (and license) i'll be set! only prob is i think i love fishing too much.....only time i don fish is 2 weeks while ice is forming and 2 weeks while ice is melting, but with them crawling all over the yard wont take long to get some sausage meat. Dale...i dunno what to suggest....i know very little about computers...try 'computer help' in the 'Extra Resources' section on the forum.

LOL....or i could just wear a snowmachine helmet with one of thse built in cameras.....get a few funny looks though...hey...but i get that even without the helmet!

Unfortunately guys there is no sectret rigging method for the camera....i just hld onto it the best i can whilst reeling in...here's a little vid of how I do it

Really nice boat! WOW........awesome in fact.....if it was anyone else i'd be jealous...but i aint got time to be jealous cuz i'm too pleased for ya Joey.....i'd say enjoy.....but thats a foregone conclusion....lol.

Hi all, Had about half an hour spare this evening when i got back from Winnipeg, so grabbed the rods and headed down to the lake. First started with the floating jig set up, and got into a nice pike(31") and a walleye immediately....bite was hot tonight. The walleye seemed to be biting in close so i decided to try just dragging a jig and minnow around the shallows.....yup...they were in close. Was greeted by these guys doing a good job as furry lawntractors

congrats on a goodday out Jedi, i must admit that i find fishing in a canoe very uncomfortable...but i guess ya get used to it.

Thanks for the great morning read.....very good stuff, glad to hear the puppy is ok.

Superb 'eyes....nice goin guys. That salmon is awesome looking!

Great report Blaque, Love your reasoning process quantity over quality where kids are involved...sooooo true Great pics too btw thanks for posting.

Crazy ooking fish! Awesome report, what a species to add to your list, congrats on your PB! shame about the last fish that got off....aint that always the way!? Sea food looked good too. Thanks for p[osting.

some nice carp there Marko, shame about the crowds. That indeed looks like a mirror carp. Thanks for posting

definitely 'christened' the new boat with a good dose of slime......excellent job, new boat and 50+ pike...gotta be lovin' that! Now i also know how long it will take before i can get a new boat...15yrs....it will pass quickly....lol. Thanks for sharing. (cant see much of it, but the boat looks great from what i can see)

Pretty decent accident you have there!
