Hi all, My 7 year old son caught this monster yesterday….very cool!

LOL….I meant these

Big nightcrawler under a slip bobber.

Hi all, Won an electric fillet knife in a small local bass tournament, gave it a try yesterdays with mixed results. I have been putting off using it because it just feels so big and cumbersome….and it proved to be an issue wile using it. I think as long as my hand fillet knife is sharp I'm way faster and more accurate than with the electric, having said that I think that because I go round the ribs as I go this made the electric less efficient and more difficult to use. I do plan on trying to just slab the crappies we catch this winter and remove the ribs after, I have a feeling the electric knife will be better at it than by hand, especially since the hand fillet knife gets so blunt so quickly with the larger scales and the fact that it is difficult to go around the ribs given a crappie's anatomy…we'll see……...

Great story! Lovely spot! Thanks for posting…..that sunday morning pic is HEAVEN.

Bloody bomb carrying expat terrorist! Was a pleasure to meet you and Kevin. Thanks so much for the invite in your boat….I was the guide that day??? no wonder I didn't get a tip….or was that the beer Was also a hoot to provide a water taxi from your hotel to our place for the fish fry….the fireworks were good but the bugs were EVIL…..you saved yourselves a pint of blood each by returning to the hotel…..lol. I appreciate you trying to blame the excellent shore lunch on me, I was a mere spectator with a fillet knife. Loved the simple set up, burner, skillet, some oil and a packet of fish crisp….you did a better job than the guys that have lived here all their lives! The pelicans were also great entertainment during lunch, loved the way the worked as a team doing synchronized turns in the water to bully the seagulls. The 'Breakfast Bar' certainly was back to back fishing…..I blame the weather on the rest of it Hope we meet up again soon, whether that be in a couple of years when we head south to Erie or if you take me up on my offer to camp out here 'Chez Limey' and do some adventuring on some of the lakes around. Got a few pics on my phone that day…..and the video is on its way as soon as I can get *&^%^%$ Navionics to work…..trying to download my map chip….it is taking forever! CHEZ LIMEY FISH TACOS WITH GUACAMOLE A MOST EXCELLENT SHORE LUNCH

Nice stringer Rick! Was nice to catch up the other day. Simon.

Hi all, Another video. Got out for a couple of hours yesterday morning. And what a beautiful morning to be on the lake, it got cold overnight and I was surprised to find frost on my windshield, but the cold made an amazing morning mist on a mirror calm lake…stunning! Nothing fancy as usual, just jigs and minnows in around 16' to 21' FOW. Use of electronics is key on this lake as the fish can be scattered at this time of year, basically I troll around till I mark one or two and drop the bait on their head so to speak. I have been fishing this lake a long time now so it does not take long to find one or two marks. Good fun on a calm morning.

LOL….funnily enough he won't eat pickerel, probably a good thing with all the tape worm I find in their guts when cleaning them (don't tell the wife), but he is crazy about the scraps of crappie when I clean them, smart puppy! he has been studying my body language for years….he knows for sure when it's FISH ON! LOL…it's pretty awesome, I take none of it for granted. Had an interesting conversation with a really nice couple from Minnesota while in Canadian Tire the other day, they were saying how they often thought about retiring here but they would miss too much living in the countryside. I asked them to name what they would miss, by the end of the conversation they were asking about real estate here. He is a fishing dog for sure, he cracks me up. I'll be getting ready to set the hook and suddenly he just appears. Yup, we live on Wabigoon, a tough nut to crack fishing wise, but for about 3 to 4 weeks after ice out the fishing from the bottom of our yard is amazing, without fail, then it turns into the 'dead sea' and I have more difficulty finding them, but for those weeks its no boat required!

What about this Mirrorcraft….Evinrude E-Tecs any good? 1663 AGGRESSOR 16' W/S (BLACK) SHRM B # MRR83272D616 T # 5KTBS1914GF532650 VINYL INTERIOR, AUTO FLOAT BILGE, TROLLING PLUG, STEREO W/ 2 SPEAKERS 12V POWER POINT, TRAVEL COVER, 1 EXTRA SEAT, FLIP UP CLEATS, SWIM PLATFORM, BOW STORAGE NETS, FULL TOP W/ WALK THRU CURTAIN BRP PRE RIGG, 2200 LB BUNK TRAILER W/ SWING TONGUE & ALUM RIMS SPARE TIRE & MOUNT 90 H.P.

they service both yamahas and Mercs. And I already do tow my stuff and buy my stuff 100's of Kms away because the dealers in this town are a bunch of asshats stuck in the glory days of when the mill was open, they don't move much beyond their inner circle….guess it keeps the bloodline pure though….lol.

Kenora.

Fish hawk or Vision 1650s

This is exactly my issue! I want a Yammy on it but the dealer is saying it will be $3000 more….what the hell!!! Might have to go with a G3…they look good too.

Hi all, Looking around for a new boat, sat in a crest liner yesterday, pretty nice…..any good or bad people can share about the brand?

Hi all, Got half an hour in before Jack's bedtime the other night, he and Roloff joined me for the last few casts…..if you cant stand the wife playing the Yamaha organ just out of view on the lawn, skip to the end of the video (3:42)…HILARIOUS!

Jacks laugh is infectious, like any child giggling, can't help but smile eh? Thanks Bri….he loves our "adventuring" as he calls it. Thanks Art. Great memories! Thanks JT. They certainly are fun!

Hi all, Got the day before opener with my son Jack after school for a couple of hours. I introduced him to bass fishing, he loved it……….

LIVING THE DREAM!

I love the part where he imitates the grouse…so cute. Jack has known nothing else but the outdoors from day one so we had a head start on that unfortunate guy, he still loves his iPad and dvdd, but tell him we are going to lac Seul and everything else is on hold!!!…..lol. They do, I keep threatening him that I am going to stop feeding him…he just giggles and says…."Dad…your fibbing!" LOL…sooner than he might think too, the cortisone injection I got in my knee only gave relief for a week, I'm hobbling around again and its getting worse! Wow, no wonder you are proud, sounds like a great 'kid' you have there. Thanks, we have a wealth of video memories to look back on.

Thanks! Cheers mate! yah, for sure. I am gonna be busy with some walleye fishing for the first part June then I'll be hunting them down again, I want to learn their habits on my home lake. Thank you

went to check the trap, only a couple of dozen but always fun with Jack along for the walk.

Hi all, The ice departed here in a hurry, 4 days and it was open water. We headed out on Sunday to try for crappie in t and around the same spots we fished just a week and a half earlier on the ice. The little buggers don't hang around long, the spots we were slaying them in days ago were bereft of our quarry, so the search started. We found them right where conventional wisdom said they would be, staging close to their spawning areas, once we identified possible areas they would spawn it was just a question of depth. They were in 18 to 20 Fow. Strangely enough this was the same depth they were in this area on the ice, but they had definitely moved in closer to the south facing, shallow mud/weed bays, time will tell if our hypothesis is proven correct when we try the latter close to the end of May. We threw everything at them, slip bobbers, hook with split shot, jigs, dropper rigs, all worked, but the two hook setup with jig and minnow below and wide gape with bronze twister tail took the award for outstanding bait. Enjoy the video

Good to hear Bruce……good to hear
