nice catch bigred! Especially when they are caught from shore!

it looks like an awsome trip! been there done that. The 10lb is a real beauty!

Does anyone know if they sell a conversion kit or know anyone that has there Planer Board Mast System, so it just sits in the front seat pedestal base? I have the Plug-In 2 3/8" Aluminum Round Bases. http://www.springfieldgrp.com/productdetai...mp;subcat1=.htm

might be there on Sunday, white Tracker Tundra, you won't miss us! Gonna try the new dipsy's that I picked up today, and the new DT11 colours.

Great opertunity guys! Its definitely an excellent learning experience! Even if there is a chance of rain, Fishhunter's boat would be very nicely sheltered.

Nice fish Bigredfisher! When Im less busy with school, I'll definitely join you on these Steelhead outings!

I had the great opertunity to fish with Fishhunter(Lloyd) on Friday, Oct 18. Waking up abit late in Toronto, (4am) my family and I quickly took our boat and met up with Fishhunter and three fellow OFNers (Jose, Bill and Rob) My parents took the boat and fished on their own, while I tried to learn as much as possbile with Lloyd and company. A beautiful day it was, the morning air was clean, crisp and cold. I immediantly realize it's much more comfortable inside Lloyd's fully covered boat than the Tundra single concosle. The day started with Bill reeling in a nice eater walleye, then follow by me with a soild fish. 4 Sheepheads were caught after and the grand slam 7lb walleye was caught by Rob. This happened while I was a sleep. (Yes, Lloyd's boat has a cozy bed space to sleep) When I woke up and heard the news and saw the evidence, I felt missing out. So...for those of you who ever get a chance to fish with Lloyd, never fall for the nap temptation! Lloyd is truly a great angler that has years of expereience with lure presentation and choice on the BOQ, we kept on switching lures and trying to figure out what they wanted. Although my goal for the trip was to learn as much as possible with fall Walleye fishing in a single day, I felt I could not match what Lloyd has to offer to those marble eyes. (hundreds of crankbaits, stickbaits and percise fishing equipment setups) We finish the day around 4 or 5 and took a few pictures to keep the good memory. My parents soon followed to the harbor and picked me up with their boat. They didn't catch anything through out the day, so off I went, 2nd fishing trip within a day! I tried to match what Lloyd used during the day, we trolled near the cement factory with in-line planner boards. To my greatest suprise, We hooked on TWO TROPHY FISH within 2hrs of fishing. First was a near 10lb Sheephead, then a 6.1/2lb Walleye! Sunday was very slow with only a few Sheepheads and Silver Bass. I thought maybe the day was too clear? This weekend was my best fall fishing on BOQ, thanks to Lloyd, Rob, Bill and Jose to make this happen. It was a great time with lots of laugh and fishing knowlege. (mcD, shootin ducks, Fred, sonar reading, line distance and etc) Going back next weekend to try my luck again! You'll see me with the orange float suit and white Tracker! - Young One

Very fasinating! I never knew how Walleye are stocked until now. Looks like an excellent Thanksgiving weekend! Thanks for reporting.

I got a spot, 2 more left. Hurry, this is a great oppertunity!

Well personaly I think, If these fishcams are built, wouldn't it affect the fishery? Anyone can access the information, and on days where the camera is full of fish, wouldn't the river be crowded with fisherman? I guess it would make each outing more efficient and successful, but I don't think that is a good thing for the fishery. Plus I feel more rewarded when I go to Port Hope and got skunked for the first 5 times, and finally catch a fish on the 6th time. Fishing is not only about catching, its also the challenge and the joy of over coming those tough situations. <><

Nice size bass, not bad for Island Lake. Great to see the smile on the boy's face. Circle hooks are amazing, just a little harder to take them out.

Great eating! Nice Report!

Excellent report, full of excitmenting details! I too will hit the BOQ soon, good luck to you!

Gulp leech worked pretty good for me. I caught smallmouth, huge silver bass, catfish and decent size walleye with it. tdotfisherman, hahaha i feel your pain, I bought every size casting spoon, 3 all nighter trips and maybe I got one hit. In the end, I gave up and went back to bottom bouncing! (best day, 5 fish a night)

With so many Salmon Fishing reports on the forum, the fishing must be on fire! I'm new to open-water Salmon fishing, and I plan to start by learning from one of our fellow OFNers. If any has a spot on their boat, I would be more than glad to join and chip in for gas. I will travel west to Hamilton, east to Port Hope. I have the Pleasure Craft Operator Card and I usually fish in-land lakes for Walleye and bass with a 18' boat. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions and concerns. - Will

Not catching...

Its been more than a year since my family bought the boat, we have always parked it on the driveway. A recent letter from the Richmond Hill Zoning Office told us to remove or else legal actions will be taken. As unfair as it seems, I realize there is no loop hole in the system, and Im looking for boat storage anywhere near Hwy 7 and Bayview area. HELP ME! I have 11 days to find a storage place for my boat.

walleye, fry or steam the asian way. I'm learning how to steam fish, if I succeed I'll post pix.

Dispite the thunder storm warning yesterday, and reading all the posts about getting struck by lightning, I drove to the Grand River for some shore fishing yesterday. The weather was perfect, cloudy, not too windy and not a single drop of rain. I fished for 5 hours and caught 3 nice catfish,(3-5lb) 1 silverbass that weight almost a pound, and a nice walleye I kept for dinner. 22" 3.12lb I found a tag on the fish, is there a website I can enter the 6 digit codes? If anyone's interested I would love to meet some of the Grand River area OFNers, there's a lot to learn about the river as this was my 2nd visite.

I find the Mizmo senko works better than Yum Dinger, and Lebaron has it. It has more salt and weights more.

My friend and I fished the Grand last weekend aswel, we caught a total of 3 eyes, 2 smaller ones being tagged fish. I caught the biggest being 4.6lb without any tags. Lots channel catfish. Maybe next weekend I'll bring the boat instead of just shore fishing. Drop-shot with live crawler

i bought the same drift sock, excellent for my 18 aluminum boat. did you get the harness?

Awsome, pretty much sums everything that happens here on OFC!

lol

bought my 2 boxes of 6lb today at my local CT. Excellent line for sensitive fishing applications. I might even consider it for in-line board trolling line.
