    @Giles given your recent run-in with the Orcas, are you planning on installing one of these on Sakura?

      Nope, I'm happy to be attacked....

        I've never seen any Orcas in the wild, I'm hoping to get the chance when I visit Orkney and Shetland this summer. But I'm not sure I'd be so enthusiastic if they were trying to sink me!

                topwater fishing is my favorite way to fish @Giles. is that a Yo-Zuri plug?

                The bass have been in the lilly pads here hiding from the heat, and tossing the SPro frog over top have proven successful for big bass.

                              @Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot smallmouth bass are my favorite fish to catch. They fight extremely hard for their size. Nice catch!

                                Thanks guys! Just bought my first property, it’s on a beautiful lake - figured it’s a good time to take up fishing. The sellers wanted to keep the cedar strip canoe, but I insisted it belonged here 👍🙂

                                      I've spent a lot of time smallmouth fishing in Ontario, near Lac Seul.

                                      We crushed em on Topwaters called Tiny Torpedo's

                                      Also, throw crawdad colored crankbaits on the rocky points.
