  2. Thanks Dan....it came out pretty neat eh! I just saw the blue tinge on the fin and wanted a pic...the auto setting picked up way more detail than i had hoped. Thanks Shawn!...a few more inches for Team 5! Thanks man!
  3. Thanks RG...i was a little bit panicked not to lose it when i saw the size of it at the surface....lol. Awesome way to end the week....the bozo was lucky my buddy Cliff was not with me....he fires large musky lures at encroaching boats! Thanks Roy.....definitely glad i have pics and vids of this for wheni'm older to share around the campfire on my hologram device! Thanks Mike.....i see you have been doing pretty good too on LSC! It was after nightshift.....got out out at around 10am, LOL...witch...i'd be in big trouble if you accused me of that 400 years ago! Thanks Brian....i am just a lucky so and so to live where i do. LOL...thanks JT. Thanks VT...it is my desktop background as of last night. Thanks Paul!
  4. Thanks ! I went back last night....bit of a wash out by comparison...a 27" and a 25" for the 2 guests i had in the boat while i had to settle for a 16" and a 6"! Its been a cold August after a unusually hot, dry summer but despite the whacky weather they are pretty much where they were last year on this lake. Thanks...it was a memorable session for sure. Thanks Cliff! I doubt they do grow fast...its pretty cold up here so they grow slow....i will say this though...they aint growing fast but they eat well! Yup, next bechmark is to beat 33".....might be a while, but i'll just soldier on...its a tough job but somebody has to do it. Thanks man! Exactly as Rick says..........
  5. I am speechless....looks like the Caribbean with pine trees! Stunning setting to catch fish.....thanks for sharing Dan.
  6. Way more than some, but never enough!
  7. Hi all, Got my new PB walleye yesterday. I finished nightshift and headed out to my favourite in town spot. Started out with a few small lakers for tomorrow’s lunch then headed off to seek some monster walleye..... they came out to play! I had to move once as some bozo thought it was ok to slowly make his way over within 30 feet of my bow when we were the only 2 boats on the lake (I don’t get that at all ) , but the magic number seemed to be 30'FOW and I soon found another spot and had a fish on again. All fish came on a jig and minnow, trout in 70'FOW suspended at 40'FOW, walleyes on the flats near to the deeper water at 30'FOW. Got about 10 walleye in all, not one under 24" with one at 30'+ inches and my new PB by .25" at a not too shabby 32.5"! Great 4 hours on the water! VIDEO OF THE AFTERNOON'S ACTION <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/aNFNK5DUP7A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Getting 10lb+ walleye on very light tackle with nothing more than a 3/8 Oz jig is addictive, might just have to sneak back there this afternoon. Tight lines all.
  8. Fantastic...keep up the good work.
  9. Coulkd not agree more. I gotaa say that even though my x67 has a flasher mode...i find the graph mode much more user friendly and efficient.....the few seconds 'history' really helps to interpret fish movement/reactions/preferences.
  10. 55Lb Terrova here on a 17" tinny with false floors....never use my outboard for trolling. On a calm day i could go all day...with headwind i would say about 4 hours at 1.5 to 2mph
  11. LOL..right on the money!
  12. Cool recap Jacques. How quickly a year goes by....seems like yesterday seeing some of those images again. Thanks for sharing... PS......How the $%#@ did you manage to get facebook to upload a video longer than 3 seconds??!!
  13. Sooooo true. I entered our local bass tourney convinced i was going to win it or at least snag some goodies in the form of prizes. Why....because i can cacth 18" -20" smallies for fun, at will, in a few spots i know. Day of the tourney we did not even get 5 fish...only 4 (one was about 7"). Next day to drown my sorrows i head out and waddaya know...i had over 15 bass in as many minutes...in the same spots i fished the day before! I dont fish competitions any more.....lol.
  14. Never easy to say goodbye. Sorry for your loss of a good friend.
  15. Just like ice fishing Thanks Wow...feel really old now...its at least 15 years since i had a girlfriend. Yeah...it will do it for about 2 or 3 hours straight before the battery drains....not bad. Must admit that the wind dropped considerably as the evening progressed....but the first fish were caught in a howling wind. If you mean do i ever not catch fish...YES....happened yesterday actually....my buddy got 2 walleye and i got ZERO....just a small bass and a couple of pike. Where ya headed Frankie? We really should make the effort....i know my buddy cliff would be up for it too. Maybe head back to your spot where you were with your dad? I'll shout ya this week. Maybe this weekend for lakers? The I-Pilot is an impressive piece of kit....no skill involved from me.
  16. Hi All, I call it X-Box walleye fishing. Basically straight jigging while holding position (piece of cake with the I-Pilot) and watching your jig on screen. If you ice fish with electronics you already know how fun it is playing "X-Box". It was nice to find some keeper size on this lake. Its a deep Lake Trout lake and its normal not to get a walleye under 20". All the fish were in the 30'FOW range in pretty featurelss and structureless areas, although the second spot where i got the 29"er was near the drop off to 80"FOW. Cant recommend the X-box method enough, really lets you see how the fish are reacting to baits allowing you to adjust your presentation to trigger strikes. Jig and minnows were the bait. Wind was howling at 20kmh+ from the WNW.

Tight lines all.
  17. wish i'd seen this earlier.....i would take heed of the straight jigging/fishfinder method. Very effective in my experience. We got these a couple weeks back with the same gear i use for walleye....3/8 Oz jig and large minnow. Watch the screen for an arch.....hold your position...and depending on the conditions and your boat control skills most of the time you can watch the action in real time just like icefishing. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ghtEjDqDXKc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Good luck out there....white tube jig........definitely

  19. Hi all, After another hectic day Jack and me got out for an hour last night. He is going through a stage where certain parts of his body are the hot topic of the moment, so last night, according to Jack, we went to 'Willy' Lake. I tried to convince him of the lake's real name but he was not having it. I had to laugh though...he was only a chromosome or so away from getting the lake's name right( anatomically speaking) since the lake in questions actual name is 'Beaver' (snigger) Anyhoo....while mum is on a girly road trip to TBay....the mice will play. Unlike our last trip out he had little interest in fishing, but i think that has more to do with the guide's inability to put him on some decent perch action . I cant even imagine him growing up anywhere else....... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/iKZoovWJZ9g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
  20. LOL.... People....people.....you dont understand...lol. I am not complaining about a slow day....just saying it was. Was still an awesome day out. I just go up there expecting a normal 50-100 fish session with countless 25" - 28" fish.
  21. "dleicious, nutritious PBs"....your a nutcase You deserve that holiday amigo....looks like a fantastic time had by all.....random dood on a capsized sailboat...only in WTFistan!
  22. Hi all, Ok....the disclaimer.......I know fishing is better than working....i know that 30 fish is not a bad day.......and this is not in anyway a statement about not appreciating and/or taking for granted being able to fish some outright awesome locations right on my doorstep. This is just a report for 6 hours on Lac Seul....that by previous standards was SLOW....for us anyway . Fishing was slow.....started off good, I guess we should have stayed and dissected the first spot as we hit into 3 decent fish right off the bat, and saw more on screen....although they were shy to commit (watching your jig on screen helps to determine what action will trigger a bite). First stop was the front of a midwater reef in a small bay facing into the wind in about 30FOW. We then went to try some wind swept shores where i have hammered them before in anything from 17' to 4' FOW.....NADA....NUFFINK.....ZERO....WEIRD!!?? Still confident this was just one of those things...fish move...whatever...we headed to my other deep water/reef/ structure spots......again....hardly a bite except Jackfish in 3 seperate locations.....really weird. I was marking fish...and they would follow the jig up maybe a few inches off bottom before hunkering back down. At 5pm they switched on in a couple of my spots....but i think the majority of the fish were further out in the main basin...i did not have enough gas to get out there. The boys back at the landing gave mixed reports...from "awesome fishing"...to "you were fishing too deep" , to "it was slow" Anyway....great to be out....thats the slow day out of the way....lol....tight lines. VIDEO STUFF <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wqufAJbZyQg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The blueberries were delicious....going picking with Cliff and his family this evening....Jack is very excited about that Once again....... Tight lines Simon
