I have stayed at Cathcart and fished St Clair River in summer, in the past. Have had success trolling edge of drop offs and weedlines with worm harnesses for walleye and smallmouth. Vertical jigging also works. You want to watch the tap water at the park. We have found it over-chlorinated...
Thanks for this info. Could you clarify your set up for me as I'm also running 2 x 12v batteries in series. Wondered what you use for panels. Do you run from panels to charge controller to the 2 bank charger? Thanks in advance.
Wildfire - Grimsby Tackle had an online seminar last week about early, shallow water, trolling for brown Trout and Salmon. I believe the link to the video can be found on their website. The short answer is ... no, you don't need down riggers, and yes, these fish are in reach for folks with small...
Red Herring -- I just happen to have a lovely 12' Lowe with an 8hp Johnson that I plan to fish that area when the water settles and season reopens. I'm retiring the end of March and will have open seats if you want to chase a few eyes then.
My Yamaha 60 did that this spring. My mechanic in Lambeth told me to check fuses in motor since I had no power to tilt, or start, yet power everywhere else. There are three fuses in the motor, one 20 watt fuse was toast. Replaced and PRESTO ... power. Always carry spare fuses.
