Keep the updates coming, i just purchased a 1989 220V Islander, great condition just going to clean the interior over the winter, need some ideas! 

That's pretty sweet video, really clear!

Not a bad day i must say! Congrats and thanks for the post

First time out fishing this year on Saturday, had a bit of a late start. Rods were in by 730am. Headed to the bar, surface temp from 45-49F. Fished the drop, went 6 for 7 all lakers. Dipsey rod with spinny and meat took all the fish hahaha. Had one knock off on a downrigger. Biggest laker was around 18lbs, and man did he ever fight. Beautiful day on the water and glad to be back on LAKE O!

Not a bad day i would say! What was the temperature of the water?

Hey some salmon that's good news!

x2!!

Pretty much telling me that browns are likely to hit almost anything if presented to them correctly hahaha

Theres a few videos on youtube of the Americans spring brown fishing which will give you some good tips. Spring is great in close to shore and trolling around the mud lines produced by the creeks and rivers in the area. Look for warm water...

Real nice clean Atlantic!!

All depends underwater currents and what the fish want. 2.0-3.4 is generally a good speed for salmon depending on type of bait you are using. Cut bait you would want a slower presentation i find but later in the year fish are more aggressive so higher speeds with a flasher fly tend to work good so i think you should be alright. If you want a slower speed the cheapest bet would just to throw a drift sock out to slow you down but like you said its not the greatest having that at the back of the boat as things can get messy...

Went out of ashbridges bay yesterday and trolled east. Went 18/22, mostly shakers!! Got a few small coho and two 2nd year kings. Nothing with any size though, i threw the whole arsenal out and couldnt get any big boys..   the ones we did catch were all on spoons, dipseys and 10 colour core took most of the fish.. FF and meat took nothing.. beauty day to be out on the water though, lake was glass all day..

Hell of a story and a nice fish! Congrats Sk8man

LONG LIVE THE KING

hahaha well good luck out there!

Wow! Thats a tough couple days out there. Good thing the weather cooperated at least. Good luck. Tight lines

Great looking fish congrats! What did you get him on if you dont mind me asking?

Seems like the north is starting to heat up! Thanks for the post PK

What happened? What day were they out?

Maxima or seaguar is the way to go for mono

Palomer and improved clinch knot have never failed me

Good luck to all heading out for opener this weekend. Hope to see some pics of your catches being posted!

This is last year..

Went out Sunday,  got a late start, lines hit the water at noon.  Right off the bat we pulled in a nice size laker. Slow day after that, trolled from 25' to 55', water still really cold. Ended up 3-6 with two lakers and a brown. All fish came right out front of Port Dalhousie.

going to try it tomorrow! will let you know how we make out.

Just wondering what we have for hatcheries here in Ontario.. Where are they? How does one get involved? How does it compare to the US? Any info would be appreciated..

Thanks!

Hahaha likewise....
