Hey guys, love reading about the biological side of this. It's amazing what can happen to a lake, both on the positive side and the negative side. My biggest concern with the chip is habitat. My...
Calcutta TE! I hate to admit it cause I have used Abu Garcia forever. Those Calcutta reels are the best by far. At least thats my opinion.
The heavy action will give you more back bone for a hook set, but you might want to consider the lures you will be primarily using before buying it. What are you going to use it for? Bucktails,...
Don, Lynn and staff,
Thanks again for another great experience. We absolutley loved it!!! With the low water and unseasonably hot weather we still managed to get some fish in the boat. A lot of...
Ty,
It's Vodes... I have one. Brand new in the box. Are you looking for gas or electric? This is for natural gas. The ol man always bought two of everything. It's a Modine Hot Dawg 75,000...
Just wanted to drop you a line and say thanks again for a terrific experience. The weather was hot, then cool, then windy, then cold and the fish still moved and cooperated despite all of that. It...
I don't think your complaining at all, you are just stating your opinion. I happen to agree with you. When the fish are moving and conditions are right, it can be a great Musky fishery, but too...
Ty,
It was good seeing you as always! Hopefully you guys had some good action in Canada (take 2). We did pretty good. A lot of slow lazy follows (like 3' behind the bait). We did manage to get...
1. Boatside strikes: In my experience it seems with no line out, the fish basically hook themselves, more so than anything I do. I just make sure to give it some line to get it away from the boat...
Don,
Best Cookies North of the Border :-) Looking forward to a Cup of Coffee, a Monster Cookie and great conversation at the lodge. Give my best to Lynn, Paul and "Maggie".
Take Care,
Mike
Fished Rowan for the first time last year, and fished primarily Musky. WOW!!! My friend and I did go over to Hill Lake a couple times and fished Walleye and Bass in the hot 90 degree afternoons. ...
Ty,
What is the name of your buddy who guides on Shelbyville? Does he do Bass too?
I see your point about CPR, stress, and the fish swimming away faster. Do you think it's stressfull for the fish thrashing in the net with the bait in it's mouth - hooked up with the net? Of coarse...
Does anyone watch Musky Hunter or Fishing w/ Joe Bucher? Anyone notice how they land their fish? Not to take anything away from these guys, they have certainly caught more big fish than me, but who...
Have not caught one since '07... a 34"er. They are beautiful fish, unfortunately they don't reproduce. I would much rather see lots of pure Muskies than tigers looking at it from the ecology side....
Its not Ty, but my experience has been within the first 10-20 minutes of the rain. After that it is hit or miss. I guess when your bait is in the water you always have a chance, but I have seen a...
Usually I like to fish spots a certain way, based on structure, and depth. I do not like casting into the wind, and cross wind is better but I like to have the wind at my back somewhat. It's...
2010 was slow for Musky's... I am ususally on the Chip for two weeks mid-July. This is more of a family vacation, but I do put in some time casting for these fish. I usually fish in the morning...
Don and Lynn,
I am guessing you are in full swing closing up camp at this point. As the season comes to a close, I wanted to thank you for sharing that wonderful place called "Rowan Lake" with...
I have been fishing the flowage for 25 years, and my grandfather since 1956 (I have all his notes - and have studied them)... Remember, the Flowage was much different back then. There are weeds in...
Mark:
You can say that again.
It's sad but true, the Calcutta is the best. Their drags are far superior to anything I have ever used. I have always used Ambassador, but sometimes the truth hurts :-)
I always have my drag...
Last year it poured in Canada during my fishing trip. I used Cabela's Gortex Guidwear and stayed warm and dry. Like someone else mentioned, the zipper needs to get broken in, mine actually ripped a...
Fine Dining: The Chippewa Inn or Club 77
Breakfast: R&R hands down the best
Lunch: Pats Landing, Cheif Lake Lodge, Deerfoot, Treelands
Fish Fry: Y-Pines on S (Good Walleye)
Must go to...
