After 3 months with my Smart Troll system after shoot out I am putting the probes / tablet and the Lite Bites away till next May when we leave for Ontario. Mini discs / Lead Core / Riggers / inline small boards are the delivery system now from November thru May. Nice job Jeremy on 4 colors of lead i...

Sorry Chessieman man. I should have mentioned after posting the video I was going to have Randy fill in with the story. Randy has run this event since 2010. I just helped with the video. Nice to meet you finally!

Flasher / Fly and meat! Great question Eric. Although I know a few people including myself have tried this with the downsized smaller Rhy bait heads from British Columbia it's a feast or famine thing. If you soak any offering long enough yes they will bite it. Unlike Lake Ontario where these kings f...

Great outing Eric! That 24" salmon would likely win the shoot-out this Saturday! Well done! A rare fish for October indeed! Are you fishing the Shootout this Saturday? Lots of details and great report!

My crew is ready! 13th shoot out with no missed events.

90% of the people launch out of Converse. The weigh in and BBQ is at Point Bay Marina just south of Thompson's point way in the bay following the shoreline. Docks are empty so just tie up your boat and walk to shore from the dock. Up on the hill. 1 pm sharp is the weigh in deadline. https://i.postim...

Time on the water = results.  Being retired since 2016 I sometimes believe fishing all that flat water waiting for nice days hurts our catch rate rather than when we had to fish rougher water on a day off.  This season we have seen 3X the legal salmon landed over last year's poor season.  Our fin cl...

Eric, Do you have a photo of how you attach to your probe so that it slides down with the diver? I attach mine at the beginning of the 25 ft piece of 30 lb. Big Game Berkley line the diver slides up and down. If the line breaks on a caught diver on the bottom I will still have the probe attached at ...

Thanks for sharing Eric! Ontario was amazing this past season! Everyone did well! It was a runner up year for us for results going back 42 years. Data is power and knowing where your divers are running is very cool! I haven't had this much fun since my first Auto pilot in 2005! I could never return ...

First time I have seen this Pat! Photo's are very hard to judge. Some look big and some look small. Many fish this year were sub 20 lbs. Trend. Lots of fun! 24 lbs. and up was a very nice benchmark big fish! Almost like 30 lbs was 30-40 years ago. Your right many of us never put a tape measure to a ...

I bought these 3 years ago and never used them. $20

Did some housekeeping of my spreadsheet to clean it up from past years as it was getting messy.

2020 Covid year and 2022 weather cancelled.

When the port side curved part was shattered at the sandbar by a passing truck and cars I watched it explode in my rear view mirror last year on the drivers side truck near the double lines in the road in late May. Coincidence me seeing that. The entire windshield had to be replaced due they cannot ...
