Right hand 11.37# & 32" long (weight from certified scale). Left hand, a couple in the 4# range. Caught as part of a limit from what will become known as the Great Walleye Bash on December 4 out of...

I personally like the Cabela's Depthmaster brand. In particular, the DM-PB-86M.

Very nice!!!!

Given the water temp this time of year, it's smart to never challenge the Ol' Green Lady as she can be a b!tch!!!, especially when still learning a new boat. I've got an 18' Polar...

I'm definitely NOT an Ice Guy, I'm usually hoping for open trolling water into January (or all winter if possible).

But, for you "ice-holes" (I mean that in total jest!!!:p;)) Here is a nice...

Another option near the lake is Artistic Touch in Oregon, Ohio. (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Artistic-Touch-Taxidermy/122322947824149). Although I've never had a fish done by them, I had each of...

Tater --

I have an 18' Deep Vee Polar Kraft (SC model) that has a similar hull to the Fisherman. A friend of mine has the 1800 Fisherman and we measured hulls one day and dimensionally they are...

In my mind, NOAA is the Standard, but here are a few others I check:

For those that also like to fish up the Detroit River also, I took a "field trip" at lunch today (I live in Toledo, but work in the Downriver area of Detroit) and it looks like Ramps are going in at...

Next weekend for me (12th/13th)

In my own personal experience, here are the top five factors for trolling success for Erie 'eyes

1.) speed
2.) speed
3.) speed
4.) speed
5.) everything else.

Again, my own personal...

Not sure about that, more like the consummate cheap @zz, but thanks for the compliment:cool::cool:.

I swung through Cabelas this evening on the way home. There was one Cabela's Depthmaster reel...

All of my trolling rods are Cabela's Brand with Cabela's Depthmaster Reels. I have 6 sets, 5 with mono/fluorocarbon and one with leadcore. I also have 3 spare reels ready to go. I bought all nine...

I drive down through Side Cut twice a day (on my way to work and home from work) to check for brave souls and see if its time. I second Retired's report, there have been very few anglers trying it....

So I'm struggling with the next upgrade for my boat. :confused:

I have an 18' Polar Kraft Deep V powered by an F90 Yamaha (Four Stroke for you non-Yammie crowd). When trolling at the slowest...

Just talked to my old boss up in Minnesota. He says that upper Red Lake (the non-Reservation, public portion) has about 5" of solid ice. Still a little thin for that big of a lake, but they have...

Not really, I'm not much of an ice fisherman (I know, your're probably thinking what the hell did I do for the 7 months of winter during 2013-2014 -- damn near went crazy!!!:rolleyes: that's what!!!)...

Just returning to the area after a few years up in Minnesota. I still have a lot of fishing friends up there and they are saying that even as far as International Falls the ice is spotty that far...
