  1. I-pilot Link is the way to go, like someone else mentioned used in conjunction with autochart mapping it’s worth it’s weight in gold, my favourite feature while fishing walleye is to spend time mapping out structure then moving your cursor with the remote to any spot incrementally, wherever you leave the cursor the Ipilot will take you there and spot lock automatically, I can even access all remote functions on the fishfinder too. I think Power Drive models can only work with the foot pedal OR the remote, whereas the Terrovas and Ulterras can run simultaneously. I have an Ulterra and I had some deploy issues a few times, but it was mainly because I did not do recommend maintenance and lots of dragging my boat miles on dusty bush roads, it ticked me off for sure but I kept my old Terrova as back up. WARNING…Once you use the self deploying Ulterra you won’t want to ever have to get up to deploy a trolling motor ever again.
  2. WOW, what next? Next he’ll be allowed to use scissors and matches unsupervised.
  3. Hi all, Got out for some walleye yesterday afternoon, not much happened for 3 hours until a brief window of opportunity opened as the sun hit the tree line, beautiful sunny day, only around -3C and despite a fairly stiff wind I was well sheltered on my chosen spot. Bite lasted 20 minutes or so before it switched off ass quickly as it started.
  4. You should! Be a 💥. I’ll get you on fish if it kills me… lol
  5. This whole tungsten thing is a new thing for me this year, I’ve tried with whole minnows, minnow head and plastics, to be honest they’re like any other bait I use, sometimes they’ll munch a Smokey on a rope and some days doesn’t matter what you throw at them, they’re being picky.
  6. There are some nice ones up here for sure, I guide all summer long here, and all the guys from the US say they get numbers down there but not numbers and the size we have here.
  7. Pfffft… whatever… lol. nice going Brian, whitefish are a blast! Tasty too!
  8. Have you eaten crappie? I like them essay more than walleye. Crazy weather seems to be the norm now.
  9. Managed to squeeze in another short session, glad I did, we had fish Tacos for supper. Some nice size ones too, which made up for not getting my limit.
  10. Hi all, We went to one of my favourite walleye lakes, I especially like it as it’s a nice skidoo ride right from the house. We decided before we left to try a spot my buddy had fished in the boat this past summer as our usual go to spots had been kind of slow as of late. We also thought we’d try a morning bite instead of the usual sundown bite. Things were slow at first but at 9:30am someone flicked the switch to ‘Bite’ and for 45 minutes it was game on, good fun, good company with some decent size fish.
  11. Right on! Yeah, whitefish works good because it’s firm like you say. Now you’ve given me a reason to keep pike…disgusting creatures… lol
  12. Hey Shag, absolutely allowed to keep whitefish, but I had more than enough for a feed of walleye. I hate freezing fish if I don’t have to and that would have been the case with my work schedule, does that make sense? I sometimes keep them as my neighbour puts them in his smoker and we go halves, but he’s a snowbird and ain’t around till April. I also like to make a fish soup with whitefish…here’s my recipe……
  13. Winter is here. Actually winter has been here for nearly a month, it’s just taken me a while to catch up to it, getting older I guess. The lakes started locking up Nov 15th give or take a few days and we headed out over the weekend and found 6” of clear black ice with just a few inches of snow cover on a favourite local walleye spot. Fished for a couple hours from 1 pm , leaving before sunset with 15 or so fish between the three of us. Many of the fish released as they were over 18” , only one fish over 18” per person allowed in a limit of 4. Anyway, enough reciting the Zone 5 regs……..
  14. Yup , a broken old .410 I was given 8 years ago. My son has a .22
  15. I fish all those lakes (except LOTW) and it’s the first time I’ve heard it, but love it!
