I guess this is puny against all you big guys, but I love it. It only has a Merc 25 electric start and I do have problems getting to plane out with 2 people in it, but the 40 HP I want is a little out of my budget right now.

This will be my 13th summer with my Tyee. It gets me where I want to be: On the water in Minnesota, Ontario, Wisconsin and Michigan

Departing for the Slate Islands from the mouth of the Aguasabon River Gorge on the far north shore of Lake Superior. I saw many Caribou and caught Lake Trout.

Thanks F N. Just shoot me the pix at your convenience after opener. I'll send you some back if / when I get that rigged up on our dock. Good luck on opener.

It's a long drive (4 hours past Grand Portage) with spectacular scenery when it's not raining and foggy. There is very rugged terrain, hundred + islands with some protected water. My only cost was gas and groceries. I found three free cabins on the islands that are open to the public on a first come, first serve basis.

The Slate Islands Provincial Park is noted for having Ontario's largest herd of Woodland caribou. There is no hunting or predators. They were running on the beaches, swimming between islands and walking through the camp. That is one of the reasons I went there. It was part of an adventure phase I was in.

Musky, nice rig. I have a 17' Starcraft now which is working nice. But if I ever get rid of it, I will be going back to the all welded hall of a Crestliner! wink

Posted

Can't beat it! Owned a riveted boat prior and can't compare to the Crestliner.

remember "it's not the size that matters, it's what you do with it" I got to use this one twice today! grin

Posted

yep i have caught all my biggest fish (cept for the skis) out of a canoe. gotta love it, even though it has a lot of limitations

Posted

This is our current rig. It gets the job done but a 75 HP would get it done a little better! Thanks to perchjerker, it now has a 525C-DF that was added after these pics.

I truly want to thank you for posting this pic. It reminds me of going camping with my parents on Lake Ripley near Litchfield. Almost every time we went there was a horrible storm and this would be the same thing we would wake up to. After finally bailing out all the water and we would get it to float again we would have to go and find the overhang for the camper that blew off.

I still miss my parents boat and am still upset they ever got rid of it. It was a Cadillac Boat. If any one has a pic of one of these boats could you please post it. I would love to see one again, next time I'm at my dads I will look for a pic.

And if you notice my avatar, I do alright. laugh

Leech21,

How do you like the FishHawk? It's a tiller, correct? I've been thinking about finding one like that but I'm not sure how the tiller would be pulling the kids on a tube once-in-a while. Would it be hard to steer a 75-90 HP tiller without some sort of power assist? Sure would be a nice fishing rig, I'll bet. Don't mean to hijack the thread but maybe someone can provide a little insight.

I can't believe I don't have any better pictures of this boat. And I do love it, its set-up absolutely perfect for how & what I predominantly fish.

      Made a quick trip before the weekend rush on Vermilion.  Ice was in very good condition.  Didn't see any slush or water on any of the roads out from McKinley Park.  There are plowed roads on both side of the staked snowmobile trail coming out from the landing.  The road to the left goes out toward Birch Island, and there is a spur road going to the left (west) a couple hundred yards out.  The road on the right side goes out toward Ely Island.  There is a short spur road going east about half mile out.   The water came up under my fish house about another 1½ inches when I drilled my holes.  Looks like I will be going back up early next week to block my house up higher.  The small amount of new snow is really drifting up and adding weight.  You may get water on the ice, or find slush if you drill holes in new areas.  There is about 15% bare ice where the wind has blown it off.  Many of the drifts are very high and hard, so you could get stuck on them.   Fishing was average.  Best bites were from 9-10am and 11-1230 when I quit.  Biggest walleyes was only 16¼", then the next biggest was 13.75".  Reporting lengths in quarter inches because I can't seem to find any big walleyes.   Good luck fishing, be careful driving around, and be courteous to others.
