  1. I remember peeking into his boat at the Istmus 20 yrs ago as a very younge and new walleye fisherman and asking him what those yellow things were. He Said off shore planner boards and that I needed to get them.. game changer for us pulling plugs. He was a friend of my grandfathers, we went to his cottage and I never seen so many true trophy walleye mounts and Muskie.. From that moment I knew walleyes were going to be my main target species. Hopefully his knowledge got passsed on and all his hard work and knowledge did not go to waste as we know that is a very tuff fishery to learn, let alone master..agreed a Eastend walleye legend.. RIP

  2. I am very luck that my boys love to fish with me! We fished for 4 days solid and he still wanted to stay out for the night bite. We did a little but the later nights he stayed at the cottage with Grampa since he gets up early to have breakfast with his great grandfather. I also don’t have to fillet my fish no more!

  4. Had a great week of boating and fishing with the family up north. We decided to go for bass instead of the finicky east end walleyes. We are rather new to smallie s but managed to get plenty, found fish to be in the 8 to 20 fow zone and hungry for the drop shot. Fished around the head of point, the isthmus and grenadier. When we weren’t fishing we were touring all over the region in the boat. Those of you who reside up there are fortunate to have a variety of quality species of fish to target!

  5. Floyd- thanks for the response, I get ya about being on the fence.. I always have to switch out my mono reels for the lead cores when needed.. just one more thing to do and rember. Luv2– If I had an option I would prefer to go with something similar to the Diawa 47 since the larger handle provides more leverage in the handle for the kids and reeling, but beggars can’t be choosers 🤣

  6. I am looking to see if anyone has any old outfits they have been looking to get rid of. I currently only have 4 line counters and my other set ups are the older 47 Diawas. With the kids setting rods it’s complicated for them to count the passes to get the baits where they need to be. The line counters are much simpler for them. Not particular on any brand as I have a conglomerate of miss matched everything already. Thanks in advance.

  7. Great job out there! The best way to learn is how your doing it! I started walleye fishing 20. Yr ago and had to figure it out.., well still really haven’t tho.., burned a lot of fuel and time but that’s the best way.. anyone can follow the pack or do what the guy at tackle shop heard.. but what satisfaction is there in that? Keep on keeping on and you get out what you put into things!
