Re: Cordless Drill Augers

I have heard really good things about this drill adapter... https://icemasteradapter.com/ Hi JimW and Piscivore, I bought that linked IceMaster Adapter in the beginning of the 2020 ice season since it also comes in a threaded version that fits my old 70's Mora hand auger. Paired this adapter with a...

Re: GARMIN ECHOMAP UHD 95 SV ???

Hi Bob, I have the previous generation in the smaller screen to the model you are considering (Echomap Plus 75SV) and have been using it for the last 2 seasons here. I upgraded from a very old greyscale unit and so I cant directly reply to your Humminbird comparisons but can tell you what has worked...

Re: no crappies yet

Hey RJ, Wow -- that is an impressive action report. Even your 40/50 fish days sound like a great time. If you wouldnt mind a few tidbits of your experience - I'd appreciate a few tips/answers to questions. These fish are driving me nuts - been trying to figure out how to catch them for maybe the las...

Re: no crappies yet

Hi Lurewasher, Were you out to your typical spot from years past ? Even though I suspected strongly that it was too early/cool for the crappie to be hungry around here I went out last sunday and gave it a try anyways. Not much happening -- water was super high and water temps around 54F . Didnt have...

Re: The crappie bite

Hey RJ, You certainly look like you are having fun in that video... like you waited all year for that day. Do you have any tips for the board on how to catch some of those guys as the summer presses on and the waters warm ? I did manage to find half dozen or so of them right around the same time you...

Re: The crappie bite

Just cant seem to figure these guys out. Went out near Perth on the weekend (Sunday) and while I did manage to find 1 crappie (and loose another at the net) - that was it. Did get the bites in a little pocket along a rock face in ~ 6 ft of water so spent the rest of the day combing the shoreline for...

Re: The crappie bite

Nice run of fish there SplakeHunter - yours sure look a lot lighter coloured than the one that ZippyFx caught in the Rideau.

How deep were you guys finding them recently ?

Re: The crappie bite

Hey Lurewasher, I was out on Sunday May 13th near Perth looking for some crappie and while the water temp seemed to be getting to the range Im told they like (58 F ), there was very little weed growth happening and I was again baffled by these fish. I did manage to find a few little snot rockets and...

Re: Some Plump Girls...

Hey Rj, Nice Perch !! Would you mind sharing a little details on the depth that you found those guys and if they were going after more aggressive presentations or finesse style ? I might get a chance to head north over the next few days where ice is still in abundance and since walleye season is clo...

Re: Insight on Crappie Setups...

Hi RJ,

Thank you very much for the video post. As someone who has struggled to find these fish that everyone talks about it was very informative.

Re: Skunked by crappie again!

Hey badandy, Im in the same boat as you -- this is the first year that I have tried to catch some of these guys and Ive been out pounding the waters a few times without even one to hit the deck - I did get some perch and one big bluegill, but no crappies. Im fishing in a similar fashion to what you ...

Black crappie woes

Hi all, The spring crappie hunt is something that I had not pursued in earlier springs, but this year I was convinced to try it out. I was out on the Miss R at Appleton this past Saturday looking for some of these guys, and while the weather was fantastic for the first trip out, not a single crappie...

CPrince - you have a lot more luck than me then. I have had so many bite offs on 65lb Tuff line or 50 lbs PowerPro that its no longer funny. Now granted, I have not lost a frog on these lines to pike, but jigs or title shots are another story. I can also attest that regular "fluoro" line i...

Nice late fall Bassin ! Seems that every fall Justin has reports of hammering the quebec bass later and later into the season. As a side question (and maybe to Tip-up and th JigHead as well) - I notice that the late fall reports seem to be about the smaller lakes on the PQ side. Is this just because...

Monster !!

Hey Braford :

That is an awesome bass -- just awesome. Seems that the fall bite is really on for the board members this year. I gotta get out there and try harder I guess . :)

Out of pure curiosity - how deep did you find this beast ?
