  1. Looking for a PS30 transducer if someone is looking to sell one. Ty
  2. Hi guys, just wondering if anyone's had experience with any of the following ice huts. I'm looking to buy one and narrowed it down to these (based on my needs and price range). Thanks! Sherpa M3 Rapala HT Enterprise Instashak 4 Clam 2000 Frabill Outpost Clam Vista
  3. haha. Good to know! Thanks guys.
  4. Here is another (better) pic.
  5. Hi guys, hope everyone's enjoying the fall fishing. I've been catching a few walleye with these types of growths on them in the st. Lawrence this year. This one I caught the other night was covered in them. They look like some kind of melanoma and bleed. I'm wondering if anyone knows what this is, viral? Parasitic? Cancer? Thought some of you might know. Thanks!
  6. I have the 15$ one for Iphone 4S and I get 1 foot depth contour but not for the St-Lawrence. Might be that certain lakes have that feature and others don't.
  7. It's called Xenophobia Paul, and it's unfortunate that it's still prevalent in 2013. Some people can't help themselves the second they see the words French or Quebec. But then again when you're comfortably anonymous behind a keyboard it's the easy thing to do. Anyway, I work in Montreal and I can guarantee you that language won't be an issue. I would even go as far as saying that English is more prominent in the downtown area. St-Laurent boulevard is a traditionally known divide line between East (more francophone) and West (more anglophone) in the city. Typically you'll find more French is spoken East of St-Laurent and more English West, but by no means should you avoid any area. The city runs on tourism and you won't be the only American tourists here by any means so no worries there. The restaurants are fantastic as others mentioned and there are really good suggestions in here. If you like asian food there are a lot of really amazing places for Vietnamese Pho, dumplings, dim sum (which is like a Chinese buffet except they carry trays and bring food to your table) etc. Tons of small, hidden gems like this one spot I love called Khyber Pass (Afghani) that serves the most amazing, fall off the bone Lamb I've ever tried. There are ridiculously good Indian restaurants that will cost you nothing too. These are away from the traveled areas a bit up on Jean-Talon but well worth the trek up if you like Indian food and you don't want to spend a fortune on a meal. h and personally I think the Shwartz thing is overrated, but that's just me. I prefer the Main across the street. Better smoked meat and less chaotic. Also featured on the food network's "You Gotta Eat Here". Anyway you could go on all day about restaurants in Montreal. About the fishing, I've heard some great things, including a unique American Shad run that takes place in Rivière des Prairies each spring and draws hundreds of anglers, but surprisingly I've never tried fishing around the Island. Lac St-Louis and the St-Lawrence river near Montreal are one of the few places where you can still fish for Sturgeon and I know they are caught regularly. I've also seen some Monster walleye and smallmouth caught near and around Isle St-Hélène. I've always wanted to try fishing around the Montreal area but just never got around to it.
  8. Congrats again Mike! Great to talk with you guys after the tournament. And I second the part about the experience present. Getting to hang out with these guys and talk fishing is worth the price of admission. Had a great day. edit: And thanks for the plug pikeslayer
  9. Nice job guys! Beautiful musky. Got a pretty nice one too on Saturday myself.
  10. It happens often that someone looks to be headed straight for me but they always end up veering off. I can't imagine the day someone doesn't. Glad everyone was ok. Scary story. Good reminder to keep your wits about out there at all times.
  11. Nice fish. I'm glad you find the walleye fishing slow too. I was starting to wonder if I was losing my touch lol.
  12. Thanks Mitch. Very nice of you. There's a good chance I'll be back up there next summer. Rick, I might hit Dozois next time. I was thinking about trying it out and we opted for Cabonga because I wanted to catch my first laker. Would be interested to know how you did up there. Good luck!
  13. Thanks guys. Mercman! Long time no talk. Hope you're doing well!
