  1. Ok I’ll take it.
  2. I’ll take it if it is still available.
  3. If this is still available please let me know. I’ll take it.
  4. Interested in the reels if the previous sale didn’t go through.
  5. It’s a large body of water and plenty of area to roam. If you think people keeping their limit is draining the lake think again. You may have no idea what has been happening on the Reservations for all these years without any limits because if you did you would realize how many walleyes there are and how successful natural reproduction is happening.
  6. Sorry to hear about your loss. Sounds like you have a lifetime of great memories to remember him by. You are blessed, many people don’t have strong relationships with parents until their later years in life or sometimes never at all. Remember the reason he started fishing with you at a young age is because he enjoyed spending time with you and wanted to share his favorite activities with you as well. I take my kids fishing every time they ask. Cheers
  7. If anyone else is wondering, it turns out they are biting really well even in daylight.

    Bullhead

    I tried 2 lakes before May 1st and both spots were dead. Wondering if there is a good bullhead spot right now and what lake. Not looking to spot burn anybody’s honey hole, just a general vicinity for a body of water. My dad finally wants to get out tonight and hopefully catch a few fish.
  9. Wow nice walleye, definitely heavy for the length. My 30” on opening day many years ago weighed in at 11 even. Would love to see a pic after its mounted. The taxidermist I used twice is now retired.
  10. That bald eagle was right above me as I was landing fish and even had a Fischer eyeing me from the bank as I moved further upstream.
  11. Nice quality fish there. The tribes are still holding fish and managed a quick limit in my kayak on Saturday for my first trip of the year. All were full of perch and small bait but were spawned out. Water is nice and dark so they don’t spook easy is 5 fow.
  12. There are more big walleyes in the area than you realize. I fish just north of there off stony point in my kayak and 4 years ago landed a 30” 9lber trolling a reef runner then lost another around the same size at the net I caught on a worm harness later that evening. It bit through the 15# mono I had tied the harness with.
  13. I have a 31” on my wall that I caught while casting cleos off the fair Haven pier years ago. Just happened to be opening day of walleye season that year 😁
  14. Nice job! I’ve done the same at Fair Haven where I trolled for a couple miles without a hit then nailed a trout right in front of the beach where I launched earlier.
  15. Keep at it, some of my biggest fish (tiger Muskie, walleye, and brown trout) were all caught in my kayak. 2 of them while trolling in Lake Ontario.
  16. For me fishing out of a kayak is the difference between a fly rod and a casting rod or a bow and a rifle. It simplifies the sport and puts you closer to the water and the fish you’re hunting. Some days the simplification is more attractive than the hassles of taking the boat out and waiting in line at the launch or a fighting with a finicky motor.
  17. This time of year I usually wear waders or rain pants to keep the paddle splash off my legs. In 10 years I’ve still never come close to tipping and I’ve been in some pretty rough water.
  18. I also used to run 2 rods with 80’ leads but after the first hook up my approach changed....my yak uses paddles, no pedals
  19. Nice, must have been a fun fight. I’ve only run my light trolling rods which is fun but I think I’ll use my spinning gear this year
  20. Nice healthy looking fish! How long of a lead are you running behind you?
  21. Nice fish! How did you like landing them with 8’6” rod? I use the same length but cut the handles down to make them more maneuverable when netting fish. Would love to use my noodle rods but the handles are still too long to manage in tight quarters
  22. I sign all of my blanks, not so much for myself but for my kids if they ever use them after I’m gone or done fishing like you said. It gives that personal touch that increases the sentimental value
  23. Thanks for posting Kevin. I just came in off the ice and saw this and was just telling my friend that I am still keeping my eyes out for another boat. Will definitely keep this in mind
  24. That’s the closest thing I found it to be except the flesh didn’t have the discoloration of sandy flesh. Just very white and smooth, almost slimy texture?
