Yeah! they caught lots of fish over the years. The balsa wood AC's out produced the Rapala. That said, when I tried my first Rapala, probably 65 years ago, I thought they should be outlawed because they were so much better than any other bait I had ever tried. The only problem now is that I...
Agree with Old Cut LongPointer Jim. I hunted the Unit for a lot of years and the only boating accidents I remember involved Jon Boats. Fortunately nobody was seriously hurt but at least one gun was lost and I was involved in the decoy recovery a few times. I also witnessed two of the...
Used the bow mount electric on anchor mode and the sonar was showing 5.6 to 7.1 feet of water. I guess when we swung over the bottom vegetation it indicated the lessor amount. When I pressed the anchor button the sonar was showing 7.3.
Probably the last day for 2023. Not much for hard water fishing. Three of us got 60 nice perch today, mostly in the afternoon once the wind came up to 5 to10 mph. The morning was calm and s-l-o-w. We quit at 2:00 pm. Albert got cold and we had enough fish. We launched at Collins but bought...
Congratulations! Like you said, it doesn't get much better. More than enough to eat and your back should survive filleting 20 fish. That said, my back was giving out with a lot less.
Yeah! Haven't been able to get out much with my own boat this past season. Thankfully Emil invited me out walleye fishing in Burwell a few times.
Couldn't contribute much other than drive the boat but it was still great to be out there and participate. Hope 2024 is better.
Launched at Collins and fished for approx. 3-1/2 hours with shiner minnows, using spoons and a drop shot rig. Lots of dinks but the two of us also caught 28 nice keepers from 8 to 10 or 11". Not great, but we started with spoons as attractors. Last time out that presentation was dynamite but...
Like you, I've used the balsa wood version for over 40 years and seriously doubt that the cedar version would compare when used to target the same species of fish. The heavier body bait would probably be better for musky or pike that simply destroy the original.
I tried the Inner Bay for perch this morning with usual partner Albert and my neighbor Brian. We left Simcoe at about 8:00 am and launched at Collin's Marina. The first couple of hours were tough and we even kept a few fish under our 8" minimum size so we could say we weren't skunked. With a...
Thanks for the repost Scotts. I guess I should have switched to an AC Shiner or at least a similar Rapala. I stuck with my favorite spoons and even tried worms while Albert was catching all the fish. I had 3 AC's in my box but not the same color as Albert's. Sounds like your AC worked but...
Tried LPB for the first time this season with usual partner Albert. We headed to Piggott's Post and circled deeper towards the Lighthouse. The weather was about as good as it gets. We trolled using riggers and dipsy's for 3 hours and caught 4 walleye and one Bow. Most came off an A.C. Shiner...
Yeah, We started a long way out at 58' and trolled to the 63 foot level. We were down about 40 - 50' most of the time with a fancy custom painted Ripplin Redfin doing the best ( Big colored dots) . The most and biggest walleye were caught at the start of 63 fow. My legs are still sore from...
I was invited to join "Ice Fisherman" Emil, his eldest son and long time mutual fishing buddy, Paul "Plau64" this morning at Burwell. Hope I have Paul's handle right. We ended up with 24 "keeper" walleye and 1 sheep-head by 9:10 am. Not even a breeze when we started but pretty bumpy coming...
