I fished Elbow Lake with Leuenbergers a long time ago, probably 30 years. It's a small lake so there were not problems finding fish, not big ones but lots under 4 pounds.

I took a Motorguide unit into Aikmans for repairs about 5 years ago and they were awesome. Unit is still working today.

I can't comment specifically on the Lowrance system. I installed the Garmin PanOptix LiveScope System in my boat earlier this season and all i can say is WOW. The detail is like nothing I have seen before. I don't know the differences between Humminbird vs Lowrance Vs Garmin but Garmin was recommended to me by industry people and its great. The Lowrance system looks great too.

There is a small, cottage based company that is close to my cottage in Port Loring. They have been making jackets for a long time. We own a number of them and they are fantastic, the company is called Northern Bug Wear. Here is a link to their site: https://www.northernbugwear.ca/

Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I looked and couldn't find anything on this. Ontario MNR&F are proposing rule changes in order to provide clarity on when we can photograph, measure and weigh fish before they are released. Even out of season fish. Here is a link to the article, there is a small survey as well: https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-5045

Yes I remember the U of T Zoo Board, it was run by a guy named Andy.

Looks like changes are on the way for Zone 15 including bass opening a week earlier and a zone wide slot on harvestable walleye. Details are here: https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-5715?fbclid=IwAR0dH3aV7NjH4CRjyOWEXBLsrCywWmRhCEPskt-lqKRJzdaA31XHkF4pTTA

There is some talent right there, nicely done.

Watching a bit of it on Bassmaster LIVE. He is one of the only anglers fishing vertically, looks like he's targetting smallies. https://www.bassmaster.com/video/bassmaster-live

And of course note that the regular smallmouth season has been delayed until the first Saturday in July.

Anyone see the new regs. Zone 20 which is Lake Ontario for 2021 has an early catch and release bass season from Jan 1 to May 10: https://www.ontario.ca/document/ontario-fishing-regulations-summary/fisheries-management-zone-20

We flew, and as always, there is a funny story to tell. A number of years ago, 20 I believe, we flew from Pearson to Thunder Bay and then rented a van, grabbed supplies and drove to Nakina. There was 4 of us with my brother in law and his buddy as part of the group. Didn't realize they had not flown much but when we were going through security my BIL's carry on gets flagged and security opens it up and pulls out a hatchet. He thought it would be safer if it was in the carry-on. And then he had to walk back through the security area with the hatchet to have it put in the baggage compartment of the plane. Things you wouldn't see in an airport today.
