Awesome surroundings to fish....nice bass too

TRUE! Its so easy even i can use it! I dont even use the track system...just auto pilot (keeps you on a constant heading) and the spot lock. Spot lock alone is worth the 500 bones....its like having a guide in the boat, all you have to do is fish!

Nice one Paul...time to blow the froth off a root beer or 2!

Nice fish....and your personal best to come in a couple of months!

Holy Crap.....nice brookies!

That would be just fine with me. To replace the pink Dora the explorer one you already have Bob? Thats what i'm hoping. Tried it Brian...he kicked up a merry fuss...had to give it back...he loves that rod....for now. Me too....this has to be my all time favorite video...and i've made lots....lol.

Hi all, Could not have been prouder than I was last night. After pretty much ignoring my poor son the whole day doing en suite renos, at around 6pm my boy pipes up "Dad....lets eat supper in the bye boat at ..........Lake" ( I love that he knows the names of the individual lakes). Mum comes home and I run it by her, she's a good sport, so off we went. So far Jack has shown little interest in fishing. He loves being in the boat but despite my efforts to get him fishing he usually finds other stuff of interest. Last night however it was all about catching fish. At the end he states "Just one more cast"....job done for now!

Awesome! Congrats. Best wishes to you all. Love the pics.....second one is great...."awe maaaan...who turned the lights on!"

Sounds perfect......congrats!!

Hi all, Got out for some lakers and got our limit quick enough to try and limit out for walleye in the same afternoon. We have a new 78s gps to play with so we decided to try and get into a real backwoods trout lake, but the recent rain had a river flowing where the trail should be. So we headed back to a lake I have only ever fished on the ice. We straight jig trout with 3/8Oz jigs and minnows...same set up we use for mostly everything up here. Trout were in 65' to 75' FOW, some on bottom some suspended as high as 20'FOW. Despite the wind Cliff did an awesome job back trolling and we could watch our jigs on the fishfinder as the trout came up to smack the bait. Basically we trolled around until we saw a fish arch on the screen, flick into reverse, send down the jigs and watch the arch turn into a line heading to meet your jig! Lead core....downriggers.....?? Give me a jig, minnow and a fishfinder any day of the week. After only about an hour Cliff had a 32" and 23" and I had a 30" and 25". I don’t usually keep large fish but I have someone plumbing my en suite for me and they swap labour for trout...good deal if you ask me! Anyway with a limit in no time at all we thought we'd go to get some walleye. Having been foiled by the elements in our attempt to fish a new lake in the morning, we decided to try the nearest available lake and see if it held walleye for a limit of those too. Just so happened we were near a culvert by the side of the highway that we always said we wanted to see where the creek led. So we packed up, threw the boat down the side of HWY 17 and off we went. The lake was teaming with fish, but all small....we shall return. All in all a great day with some awesome trout and feed of walleye....NWO at its best I think. Sorry, video contains a few swears <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ghtEjDqDXKc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> FIRST DESTINATION WAS A WASHOUT..........LITERALLY! 2ND VENUE REALLY PRODUCED FOR WALLEYE WE HEADED DOWN A CREEK INTO THE UNKNOWN BUT DID GOOD FOR EATER SIZE NICE RED MEAT ON THE TROUT A FEW EXTRA INCHES FOR TEAM 5

That place looks stunning....its like a little tropical lagoon! Holy moly Jacques, your daughter is a beautiful young woman! Amazing how fast they grow up. That scarecrow thing is gonna give me nightmares. And I think the word for the cottage is bijou, n'est pas? Great report Great pics.

Hi all, invited some friends for supper Fresh walleye, thinly sliced, coated in my own breading mix. my wife makes a fresh basil bruschetta salsa and we add a variety of toppings including, Fresh italian parsley, capers, black olives, shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano, Taco sauce, sour cream, red peppers, lettuce, avocados, red onions, greek pepperoncini and fresh lemon and lime wedges for juice. YUM.

Thanks for all the well wishes folks...i'll be sure she gets the message! Thanks FF....mum snapped us on Jack's 'secret island' at the bottom of the yard...we often sit out on it and plan the next day. He is evil with a water gun...NO MERCY! Takes after mum completely He bought the little monster with tickets he won at the arcade at Niagra. He named him 'Dave Crick'. LOL...dont know where he pulled that name from...but Dave Crick had to come everywhere with us after that.

Great report WB...and some stunning pics

Hi All, First off, an aknowledgement due to all the kind invitations to fish when i was down, just did not turn out to be on the cards. Time, weather and no internet access conspired to make this a relatively fishing free vacation. Fact of the matter was my wife's mother is very ill and we had to be ready to visit at short notice. Could not make the fish-a-thon either . Good news, Mother-in-law is doing much better and we had fun despite the stresses. ON THE 1ST DAY OF TRAVEL WE STOPPED AT LAKE SUPERIOR TO COOL OFF, EAT LUNCH, HAVE A PEE AND STRETCH OUR LEGS WE WERE A LITTLE LATE ARRIVING THE 2ND DAY, BUT GRAMPS (AKA COLONEL SANDERS) WAS WAITING AT THE TRAILER AT ERIEAU JACK MADE FRIENDS QUICKLY WITH GRAMPS' FRIEND SONNY......WATER FIGHTS WERE FREQUENT AND FIERCELY CONTESTED FISHING WAS INFREQUENT AND LIMITED TO THE BREAKWATER WALL AND PIER, FISH WERE SMALL AND SCARCE WE GOT ON THE OPEN WATER COURTESY OF ANOTHER FRIEND OF GRAMPS....JACK AND MUM GOT SOAKED...BUT HAD AN ABSOLUTE SCREAM! TOOK SOME TIME TO DO THE TOURIST THING, NIAGRA, CN TOWER AND A YUMMY CHINESE MEAL ON SPADINA FINALLY GOT TO SEE GRAMMA IN HOSPITAL THEN IT WAS BACK TO ERIEAU ON THE FINAL DAY JACK MET HIS COUSINS FOR THE FIRST TIME THEN IT WAS ANOTHER 2 DAY JOURNEY HOME WAS GLAD TO BE HOME TO BE HONEST......I CANT HANDLE THE CROWDS FOR LONG THESE DAYS, AND THE DAY AFTER GETTING HOME NORMAL SERVICE RESUMED.

I have to agree with this. I have fished all over the world and in every instance i have come across 'nuisance' fish. As DanC says...pike here, to most locals (including myself now) are considered a royal pain in the derrier...in England it was Garfish when seafishing, even fishing on the River Thames in England as a wee lad common eels were the bogey fish. I dont agree with killing any fish you catch simply because its not what you intended, or wanted, to catch. If you put food on the end of a hook and drop it in water contaning hungry creatures some of the time you will catch one.....lol...deal with it! but dont take it out on the fish! Good question Blair...and a good thread, i'd say it would be illegal to kill and waste them....unless like the round goby you are obliged to do so if you catch one. I dont get those here, but i got 2 just last week fishing the pier at Erieau......tell ya what...i appreciated hooking into them, cuz to actually feel something solid at the hookset was a welcome relief to the very small and infrequent bass, sunnies and crappies i had been catching. I think that they put up an awesome scrap....i would say pound for pound right up there with smallies...and they get way bigger than smallies, only difference i can tell is people dont eat them (much), but then again muskies are not regular table fare either.

Nice fat bass you have there Monique

LOL. Great report!

If you do use them FF...wash your hands before going peepee

Great stuff Rick....only way to live for sure.

Hi all, Last weekend was crazy busy and crazy fun. Friday night we camped at our local provincial park. My buddy Garnet and his family stopped by. After lunch we headed out for an hour fishing while our wives and kids played at the beach. Garnet went home and about 3pm my buddy Cliff showed up to pitch tent too. We set up camp and the shenanigans began After camp was ready it was time for a swim and some tubing As the sun set, we dried off the kids, dropped the crew at the dock and Cliff and me headed out fishing for an hour. We skunked but had some laughs. At about 11pm all the kids were still up so we decided to take them on a crayfish hunt....BIG HIT! Although tired, I was determined to avenge the skunk....Cliff and me were up at 4:30am and headed out fishing......we scored some nice walleye a bunch of ling and some trout and were back at camp at 9:30 am Sunday morning was a quick trip across our bay to the Annual Teddy Bear Picnic Jack and mum went for a nap around 2pm and I took advantage of a beautiful afternoon and went out for a session on our lake When Jack got up, mum went to work and we took off in the boat together for the evening The next evening Jack wanted to show mum the pelicans....no pelicans but we caught a few small walleye and had a nice cruise around the bay What a great long weekend we had last week. This weekend i'm travelling down to Erieau. Cant wait to head out with Spincast and maybe bump into a few people i know at the Fish-a-Thon. Till next time....... Tight lines! oh....here are the vids from the weekend. Sorry....i swear in the second video at 1:38. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BvxAJgYnPzk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0rHjYlDTzok" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XLfNhX1eupY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

AWESOME! In my opinion the best way to fish lakers. Its like icefishing on softwater. Watching the fish chasing your jig is a sure way to get the adrenalin flowing. We also fished this way this weekend, like you the fish were biting shy. I am gonna try that lure set up...LOOKS KILLER MAN! Great pics and report....Love it!

Looks like fun Dan....great pics. Cant believe how clear the water looks....could almost be the caribbean!

Damn you....i would have loved to....but we are in Southern Ontario with Erika's folks that week
