Thanks for the responses. Super busy at work this week...hopefully I can get out this weekend for lakers or something.

Good timing and persistence paid off!!

I'd like to see the responses for this as well since I'm new to the Shimano flock

X2, It was like this at this time last year too. Nice stringer of fish. Good size too.

That's HUGE!!!! Your a great fisherman.

Awww that's bad. We desperately need rain. More lightening than rain in North Bay right now

Big spill

X2 on steller day!

I got out twice yesterday. During the afternoon was White Bass...only got three In the evening we smashed walleye on Nipissing... I couldn't keep any because I already had my four from saturday night. But my friend who rarely fishes got his limit this is what fishing all day will do to your hair

Nice suprise that brown trout was! Looked like a mini-g2g

This is all I can offer

All the pics are in my head.. Amongst the other clutter. Between the heat and the all the action we didn't feel like taking pics. You guys like words too, right

looks like and peaceful in your craft! I love fishing non-motorized. Can't believe you screwed up that hookset

I hope this is a sign of this to come this season! Me and a couple buddies, including OFC local yokel JoeyTier, got out for our Zone11 opener at a small walleye lake. As is tradition, we went way too early and basically trolled in the canoe for miles, with nothing to show until evening set in. It's the same pattern everytime we come here; the lake is seemingly fishless ALL day and then evening drops with a BANG! Joey striked first with a keeper-sized walleye using the sassy shad. It was caught in about 8 FOW, on rocks, near shore. About 30 minutes pass until things really turn on, Joey was quickly up to 5 fish while me and the other guys were sitting at about 2 each. this guy knows how to catch fish. White 3" grubs on 1/4oz jig heads were doing most of the damage. As the evening progressed, we saw the water surface breaking in less than 2 FOW. Thinking this was a rare opportunity to catch top water walleye, I tied up a popper and with my first cast in the shallow...WHAM...the fight is on. Turns out to be a decent pike...still fun! I switched back to a white grub and as darkness was really setting in, we all started hammering walleye of up to 21" in as shallow as 7" of water. I've never experience this before and it was an amazing opportunity to basically sight fish for walleye. We finished with around 24 fish between the four of us... not the highest tally from this lake, but considering the fun we had...I'll take it Hope the skeeters weren't too bad for you at Camp last night Joey... I was more than happy to go home to sleep. By the way, I switched my 20lbs PP for 10lbs PP. What a difference! The 20lbs was definitly a bit heavy for my setup. Once I receive my Crucial I'm gonna be taking my combo to bed with me.

Very nice season-starter-session! 30" walleye right in your backyard is something to hold dear.

Looks like a perfect outing with a free meal to boot!

X2 on everything you said. I might have to pick up a 5 footer as I've already replaced my broken (by me) highlander with a crucial

Brutal. I hope the MNR is paying overtime to their CO's this weekend

I won't be fishing sturgeon people go white bass crazy out there

The lakes are less busyon weekdays. I hope you get a few of those off instead!

Everything tastes better in the bush I'm partial to having trail mix or nut mix...it's a good "quick fix" snack ... and no, trail mix does not contain canadian fried american bacon hunks.

They'll be my target on sunday! Hopefully they are running here as well.

X2!

hahaha that would be a pain in the with live bait.

The only problem? I guess that means she caught a big fish with it?
