Stashed boats are usually fair game. Treat them with respect and you'll have no worries.

Especially with no numbers or american numbers.

Ask the mnr about those "oh cut the chain and enjoy your new boat" lol

Thats horribly invasive.

I just tried it on a few photos(didnt know how to do it so i had to tinker around.)

Not only will it give me co ords and show me on a map, it tells me what camera your using etc.

And i seen a few that weren't smart phones

Weird thing is it wont show me the info on my photos even though i probably had gps enabled most of the time

OFC should change this

Dood that first pic is really nice IMO.

Awesome catch!!!

If you can afford it get it.

Its unreal what it shows you.

I myself dont have it yet, but I mentioned yesterday fishing with a pro and looking at his units gave unreal detail and helped us understand why our presentations were working.

Im sure it takes alot of getting used too but it sure is awesome IMO

And if you fish crappie....

Nah

Too many mennonites around???

I love threads like these!

First of all its serves as a reminder(lotsa us kinda get stagnant at times)

Second it shows COs or police doung their jobs

Third it shows an awesome character that just owns up and admits he made a mistake, posts it as a reminder for everyone.

Netminder, good on ya! Sorry bout the fine but Miigwich!

^^^

This report shows why EVERYONE should add LOTWs to the bucket list.

Ah the from mid july to middle of august is a great time indeed?

Wicked report! Great fish!

My fav is also the pike.

Any incidental big walters???

Awesome report!

Thats friggen wicked!!!!

Might as well mention all the other crap you(we) agree to when we download apps.

Unreal what they ask for, access to your camera and pics, phone numbers, video to name a few

Saweeet!!!!

Why was I thinking you didnt like tomatoes Brian?

That looks like a tasty and easy dish?

You guys are all going to die young of heart attacks.

For mista blizzard...

Awesome pics lew!!!!

There is a base around near my place on the amercan side and once or twice a year fighter jets pass over and shake the houses lol. Its so cool to see!

OI, snowbirds were just here about 3 weeks ago and did runs almost over our house. Talk about skill! The show was 40km east in fort frances but I guess they were pra ticing near us. Insane to watch them! They were a real treat to watch when i was a kid too!

" A lot of folks think that if they had the same boat and gear as the pros, they could be as successful. It just ain't true. "

 

That is so true! You could look at our areas tournaments and the results, some guys seemed to be consistent on any body of water they fished, others once they got off of their home waters seemed to be lost, they just didn't seem to be able to find a pattern on new or less frequently fished waters quickly.

 

There were plenty of guys driving 40k bass boats here, it only seemed to make a difference in their tournament results for a few.

This is true.

It took me 5 years to figure out all the patterns on my home river.

Its insane that these guys travel non stop, fish unknown waters and can still put good fish in the boat.

Imagine the amount of knowledge in the heads of the top guys???

Their like 20 levels ahead of your average bass nut im sure.

I fished a small walleye tourny on my home river 3 or so years ago and i won. 2 pros showed up and were just baffled.

After the tourny i was talking with them and the knowledge they had was just insane.

After I explained what I was doing he was like "man, i had thought about that last night but changed my plan at the last minute"

We went out together the next day so I could show him exactly what I had done and to be honest I wanted to see things on his electonics.

We anchored in 17 fow on the outside of a current seam and casted big 7" leeches into the current on jigs and let them drift into 4fow and bam! We hammered a few 6 and 7 lbers. It was awesome

Then hes like hey, lets troll cranks right through that 4fow and i bet will hammer em.

Sure enough. Now hes landing fish on every pass and there all 7-8lbers.

I always knew those big walleye can be had shallow, but that was the first time i trolled 10 foot diving cranks in 4fow and its a technique i use alot now and the river.

About a year later keith kaveitz(sp) had a seminar on the exact same technique(the vid is on youtube) and he trolls right into 2-3fow

Its a cool technique you dont see often

Hahahhaa. I just got my sons back from their moms and chilli cheese dogs was perfect welcome home!

We went and watched a ballgame then cooked, did some "experiments" with the bonfire, was a great night!

Uh oh!

Whatcha cookin with leftover chilli???

???

 

 

But our southern border still seems wide open?

Aint thats something eh?

To be honest I think alot of the southern pros have way less practise fishing heavy current.

Its not easy to do.

Sure as mentioned you can position the boat and use your motor to drop shot deeper areas,but it takes a whole new skill set to fish shallow smallies and control the speed and presentation.

Add the chop and muddy windswept water and its tough.

If your not used to those conditions your gonna get your butt kicked.

Im positive I would have been slow rolling heavy black spinner baits with silver blades.

Easiest bait to change speed, fish shallow mid range or deep, relatively snagless and you can fish the current all ways.

Get him to bend the hooks up slightly and have some crazy glue or gorilla glue in the boat in case it gets punctures
