  1. Paul, that sounds like an incredible setup you’ve got planned! It reminds me of a recent experience with a marine survey service. I had a boat that needed some repairs, and before diving in, I decided to get a full assessment done. The team at kikimarinesurveyor.ca went over everything in detail, checking the structural integrity, engine condition, and even smaller things I hadn’t thought to look at. Turns out, there were a few hidden issues that could have caused problems down the line, so having that inspection saved me from unexpected headaches. It was a great experience overall, and I felt much more confident moving forward with the repairs. Now, I’m just counting down the days until I can get back on the water! Hope you get your boat back soon—sounds like you’ve got some great trips ahead.
  2. Sounds like a wild trip with some unexpected surprises! The drastic difference in conditions from last year must have been a shock, and it’s crazy how some people still take huge risks on questionable ice. At least you managed to land a nice Walleye before calling it early. Definitely a season-ender to remember!
  3. Hi Brian, Congrats on the new boat! Check under the gunnels to confirm if it’s marine plywood—access panels or the manufacturer can help. Track systems work great for mounting riggers and rod holders, giving you flexibility. For Erie, lighter and removable setups might be more practical. Good luck, and share how it goes!
  4. I prefer using Blue Fox Vibrax spinners and Mepps for Lake Ontario. They're reliable and work great for trout and salmon.
  5. Your survey sounds comprehensive and relevant for understanding the US commercial fishing industry. To encourage participation, you might want to share it through platforms where industry professionals are active, like fishing associations, forums, or social media groups related to commercial fishing. Best of luck with your research.
  6. It sounds like there’s some frustration regarding the consent decree and its impact on fishing practices. If gill nets are becoming more common again, it could lead to more challenges for certain types of fishing. It might be worth staying informed on any updates or regulations to help adapt to the changes ahead.
  7. Running with Dipsy Divers can be tricky—just keep your speed steady to avoid tangles, and make sure your rod holders are secure. It’s all about finding the right balance for smooth trolling.
  8. When I started salmon fishing from breakwaters, I focused on using a medium-heavy rod with 15-20 lb test line and lures like spoons and spinners. Early mornings or evenings during high tide worked best, especially near deep drop-offs or strong currents. I let my lure sink before a steady retrieve with occasional jerks to mimic prey. Safety was key—non-slip shoes and watching the waves made all the difference. It’s a rewarding experience!
