  1. Coolio, I fish alone a lot, it suits my needs perfectly! Yep, but we ate some of those from that spot end of August, no parasites in those ones and to be honest I could not tell the difference from the walleye that was mixed in.
  2. Was fun for sure! You know you are welcome anytime:) Say hi to Kevin from me.
  3. No problem
  4. Thanks! That actually was not my boat, but I got one exactly the same as that now. I have a stack of videos from this summer on the way, been slackin'!
  5. Hi all, No, she does not have any sisters….lol, well she does but I won't air dirty laundry here….lol. We get out a couple of times a year, but seldom just the two of us, so I always cherish those days. We headed out from our place on Wabigoon, Blue fox spinners are her favourite and we got into the bass and pike.
  6. The ones on our lake look like ghosts…lol…very pale. Thanks man! LOL…that is my new ride. I guy in town had exactly the same boat as my buddy, in fact he worked with my buddy. His wife bought it in May 2015 and used it once, so about an hour on it, hell it still had the plastic on the transducer!!! He was selling everything off and I offered 15k, he accepted so I got a brand new boat with extended warranty till 2021for $6k less than new. With that and the money I saved on going bigger I am decking out mine how I want, helix 9 SI at the helm, Helix 7 on the front, Rock guard on the front of the trailer, and coming in October my new Minn Kota Ulterra with the newest version of the i-Pilot Link……sweet! My wife wanted a boat with a bimini and double windscreen for rain and wind, but I asked her if she would come out if it was rainy or windy, she said no to both, so I put it to her that the smaller boat suited my needs perfectly, I could deck it out to the max and we would have enough money left over to build a dock at our place next summer, she thought that was a good idea, everyone happy. So my new ride is a 2015 Alumacraft Escape 1665 with a Yammy 50hp. Does 31Mph with three adults in it, more than enough. Did a bass tourney in it this year, we were the last people to get to a hot spot, tons of 300hps zooming past us, but we placed 10th, not bad for a little boat….lol. Thanks man, ice fishing soon
  7. if this one is what you need its yours for free, I'm in Dryden so not far for you to come get it.
  8. Finally got to meet Spincast this summer. Had a great time out on the lake. Thank you Rick and Kevin for sharing your boat with me, here is the video I promised a hundred years ago….lol.
  9. Hi all, Bass were on fire up at Lac Seul these past few weeks, slip bobbers and jigs with worms or minnows on top of a reef at 10' to 18' FOW.
  10. Thanks JT...that trip the week before school is becoming a bit of a tradition, more people get involved every year....might have to find a bigger beach next year to accommodate us all.
  11. Probably not but that would ruin a good story.
  12. Hi all, Its been a hectic summer here, and I have got a whole stack of videos to put together, with the kid back at school and other things finally levelling out I am starting to edit a few together…AT LAST! This was one from the end of August. Went out for the day with a bunch of friends, there were three boats in our party that day. The highlight for me was fishing in my new to me 16' boat with Jack and his Grandpa(Gramps), 2 of Jack's friends and their dad and a young woman we shared our home with briefly this summer. 3 kids and 4 adults in my small but efficient craft was hilarious, made even more interesting because the bite was ON! My boy put on a walleye clinic that day, very proud of him as always.
  13. Thanks for the replies everyone! Lol, nope, he's all natural! I know right? He's thinning out and stretching upwards! As in Laurel and Hardy? Love my slip bobber, we were out fishing all the other folk there, the guy in the white top even asked if I had a spare one, I LIED, said I didn't... Thanks man, we have threatened to stop feeding him, he laughs. LOL@carrot top, you should google "gingers do have souls" Kids got me beat too probably…..lol.
  14. Hi all, My 7 year old son caught this monster yesterday….very cool!
  15. Big nightcrawler under a slip bobber.
  16. 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……...
  17. Great story! Lovely spot! Thanks for posting…..that sunday morning pic is HEAVEN.
  18. 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
  19. Nice stringer Rick! Was nice to catch up the other day. Simon.
  20. 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.
  21. 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!

  23. 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.
