  1. Thanks for the replies! No skis seen, not sure if the area i was in even has them, i am in the central and south part of Lac Seul, from what i hear , muskies are further east in the Sioux lookout area and north of there.
  2. Hi all, Got out on Monday with my new neighbour Bob , his son in law Chad and grandson Jordan. Chad and Jordan were up from down south and were really excited about the chance to fish Lac Seul......it did not disappoint. The boys scoffed a bit at the size of minnows i revealed to them the morning we were headed out....but after only thirty seconds fishing when i hauled in a 28"er......no longer were 5-6" sucker and dace minnows ridiculed....they were embraced wholeheartedly as the pickerel waltz ensued! Things got off to a slow start, but the fish were all slot (18"-21") and above up to 28". This gave us the chance to tour a few of my hotspots and take in the scenery on a beautiful day. We got into some smaller ones midway through our 4 hours on the water which filled the cooler nicely. We decided to return to the first spot we tried as that had produced the best results. Just as we got there the wind picked up enough to get quite a chop on the surface....this sent the big girls into feeding mode and for an hour we got 20"+ walleye non stop....right up to another 30" for Jordan on his maiden voyage to Lac Seul.......WHAT A GREAT FISHERY IT IS! All fishing done with 3/8 - 1/2 Oz jigs in various colours in 20'- 45' FOW on or near rock structure. Here is some footage of some of the fish we caught....not easy to film with 4 in the boat...lots to watch...lol. Might be getting out to lac suel again on Sunday in someone elses boat....will post if it happens......till then TIGHT LINES.
  3. good stuff....pontoon boats are schaaaweeet!

  6. Any shop that sells steelhead tackle should have some Drennan floats.....try a Drennan Piker they come in either 6,11,20,28,or 40 gram http://www.fishusa.com/Product/Drennan-Piker-Crystal-Pike-Floats
  7. Hi all, went fishing with a really good buddy for the first time in over a year....we had an absolute blast...we actually had tears running down our faces at times we laughed so hard. Was windier than hell, but we put a beating on the walleye all morning and got off the lake (Lac Seul) by 1pm. Nothing fancy, jigs and minnows in 22'FOW. I got my personal best Lac Seul walleye of just over 30".
  8. HOLY MOLY! That is one heck of a report Mike.....absolutely love the pic of your son running down the stretch of beach! Thanks for taking what must have been close to a whole couple of days compiling all that....awesome!
  9. my wife pees in the yard all the time....lol...just kidding.
  10. Hi all, Anyone know of Canadian based online parts site for Husqvarna? (lawn tractor) Thanks in advance
  11. looks like fun to me! Pig of a bass!
  12. Hi all, Went out with my boy for 2 hours last night. He will fish for about 5 minutes usually then he's done....lol....lucky for me he just loves being in the boat. Last night i find out he is not only excellent company but an accomplished net man too! We got about a hundred jackfish before the walleye started to bite( slight exaggeration....but lots anyway), then hooked 3 beauty walleye and lost a few more. small 1/8th oz jig with large minnows, they did not seem to want to touch the leeches.....but jack was all over them.....lol....mum is going to freak when she sees the video.....she hates them! NET MAN JACK (change setting to HD in Youtube) Jack told me he wants to go fishing again today....LOVE MY BOY! fish fry for us for lunch and if we get some today.....a fish fry for all at work on Sunday.....thats the way to grease the wheels Tight lines all, Simon.
  13. Now that looks like a good time! Great report chris...that swimming hole looks awesome!
  14. my i-Pilot .........100%
  15. Jigging for Lakers is one of my favoutrite things to do. Like sinker says.....good trolling motor or anchor are importantl for jigging lakers. preferably a trolling motor with spot lock (love my i-Pilot). You can try structure, but i also cruise the deeper parts of the lake looking for schools of bait fish then anchor up quick and jig. Sometimes i just move around the deep looking for actual fish arches, as soon as you see one...send the jig down and more often than not.....WHAM! If you get a calm(ish) day use your fishfinder like you would on the ice....drop the jig below the transducer and watch the action live! VERY ADDICTIVE WAY OF FISHING LAKERS.....BE WARNED! I use a good braid with 6' flurocarbon leader, as they can be spooky when straight jigging, attached by a micro swivel so it can get through the guides when you are trying to land it. Use of your electronics as described above will really help you to decide on what you attach to the business end of your line, as you will be able to watch how the fish react to whatever presentation you use, but jigs and minnows, 4" white tube jigs, jigging raps and spoons would be good to have on hand.....basically everything i would use on the ice is with me when straight jigging lakers. And my secret weapon.....brown color 1/2oz pill style led head jigs with a medium minnow......dunno what it is about the brown....but it kills them when all esle is struggling on numerous lakes we fish up here.
  16. I would suffer, stare at my screen a lot.
  17. Thanks Roy, it costs an arm and a leg now Jack is full fare on flights....but he needs to be there to see Gramma and Gramps. LOL...we ate a lot of mussels! Yup, history seething through every building it seems, our building has been around since the 1600s....it was an old nunnery to begin with, we have an old stone coffin we use as a flower pot that was unearthed on the grounds when they were ploughing the fields....the skeleton of the 400 year old nun disintegrated when the air hit it....COOOOL! Thanks Frank. LOL...i nearly ended up in Reims after taking a wrong turn coming off the ferry at Calais! Thanks Dan....you know to give me a shout when you are here though right? I can definitely sleep more than anywhere else when i'm there....a well needed rest! Thanks Matt!
  18. Congrats Chad...that sounds awesome....ENJOY....like you need to be told that....lol.
  19. Hi all, JUST GOT BACK FROM OUR PLACE IN FRANCE........................................ A CHANCE TO HANG OUT WITH SOME OLD FRIENDS.........................................

  20. Good on ya Rick I think I know who you mean...but would lose my job if I mention names....so just say hi to anyone who says they know me.
  21. Hi all, Got out for crappie yesterday.....they were on fire! Also some walleye in the mix....all in around 2'-4' FOW.....flipping a 1/4oz jig and small minnow worked best....surprisingly slip bobber was not as effective. Could not get youtube to upload video....so just a couple pics and a short vid.
  22. Thanks for all the replies folks WTG Rick!
