Hey Squig. Ya the drift was something else. We never had any problems at Simcoe with that net. My net looked like it was mauled by Piranhas. :shock: We were pulling in big rocks that the drift was dragging down river. We even pulled in a car bumper. :shock: Easy for you to say Squig, you are familia...

Gotcha. Go shallow spring and fall and deep in the summer. Hey Markus you may be right. When my cousin caught that 12 LBer we were in 15-20 feet of water and caught nothing and all of a sudden, wam! The 30 inch Pickeral was caught in the the exact same spot. Also only fish in that spot. I may even u...

Hey John What pitch do you have and do you have to play with your trim to achieve that speed? My pitch is 10 5/8 X 12. I may have to upgrade to a 15 pitch.

Pike pics

Well here is a few pike pics over the years. I have targetted them for the last 5 years and I have yet to catch one over 10 lBS!!! I dont know if it is because I NEVER use leaders. I have had at least 20 bite offs in my life. But why have I been able to hook HUGE musky and bring them to the boat. I ...

I'm assuming a tacomoeter registers RPM'sd? No I do not have one. the dealership says that I have a pitch prop used for trolling. If I want to get my boat faster I will have to buy a prop with a higher pitch. Can a higher pitch make a 10MPH difference?

Hey steve, where do you launch in Hami bay and what else can you target besides cats? Oh and what feet of water was the cat taken in?

I guess you stay in the small harbour? Is that near the QEW bridge?
