This sounds great. I called and got our cabin reserved.

This is a great trip and for those who have never attended, please come if you can.

Everyone is very helpful here with others new to the game and one can get into some wonderfful fishing.

Tom's right. It will be our fourth year and I can't wait. Watched my son when he was twelve years old reel in a 54 1/2 inch pig. He's fourteen now and thinks he's a pro grin Hopefully I get to see him pull in a 60 this year. Come on spring! BC

Team Bundt will be there again. Someone has to harass BC and Frank smile

Sweet! Looking forward to seeing you guys again. Make sure that g.p.s. you guys have is working this year whistle We already reserved a cabin at Wheelers. Did you guys get to do any night fishing last year? We never have and always wanted to. Tough for old guys like us to do after putting in a full days worth of wrestling with the dinosaurs. BC

SICK! That's a monster. Wow, I can't wait to show my boy that picture. Appears to be a night caught fish? That's one thing we have wanted to do but have failed to so far. That will be a tough one to beat for sure. BC

We reserved at Wigwam. It will be our first time. Do most guys start fishing on Thursday or Friday? And are there any scheduled activities at Wigwam? I don't want to miss anything!

Negative. With our BAC levels, it was wise to just park the boat at night. wink

We didn't make reservations yet, will be at Wheelers or Wigwam.

Whenever you fish, is when you fish. There is no set schedule.

I just read that Ontario outlawed sturgeon fishing. Was anyone crossing over during the get together in past years? If we can't fish in Canada it will save some time in getting remote crossing permits and licenses..

You cannot target Sturgeon in Ontario. I wouldn't waste your time on a RABC for this event and be extra careful about staying on the US side.

Yep, Eric asked me today if I wanted to do something for our 25th anniversary in March or do the sturgeon trip. Can't afford both with the youngest kid graduating this year. I chose the Sturgeon Excursion. All of you can feel free to buy me a drink some time that weekend for putting up with 25 years of wedded, um, bliss, with the boilerguy. I'm sure looking forward to the trip! Last year was my first attempt at catching the monsters, and I got a "baby" 42-incher as my biggest. Can't wait to try again!

      I found this dock wheel floating in Black Bay. If it's yours or you know whom it belongs to, go and grab it.

      Bait

      By SkunkedAgain · Posted

      Most years for opener I drive up on Thursday. This year it was Friday afternoon so I figured bait would be tight. The only place that I stopped was L&M in Virginia. They said that they sold out of rainbows by 11am. I got crappie minnows and never needed the rainbows. All my walleye were caught dragging raps. The crappie minnows....well, you know what they caught.

      Did you have any luck?     I got a bird but didn’t really do much for pics worth showing.

      It depends on a lot of factors, I suppose.   I hung on to my last gas auger for a few years after getting into electric but I never used it so I finally sold it.  Haven’t missed it one bit.  You bet it was reliable though.  Still started on the second pull for the new owner.   After trying several options in the electric world, I’m currently settled on a Strikemaster 40V with Liteflight bits.  With 2 fully charged batteries, I fish all day in Canada, cutting 10 inch holes.     What I’ll agree with is, if you search by drilling and flasher sonar, you will probably be more comfortable with the run time of a gas auger.  When you start incorporating GPS mapping, forward facing sonar, and saved waypoints, you don’t need to Swiss cheese every spot you fish.  I can still run through both batteries when the fishing isn’t great but I never feel like I have to count my holes.  It’s more like: Did I need the second battery before the middle part of our fishing hours?  If I still can’t catch fish after running out 2 batteries, it doesn’t matter cuz the fish just ain’t biting.   That’s fishing on the dark side! 😉
