My dealer advise me that they will be a delay with the delivery of my boat since the mercury pro xs 175 not available till July 2 , i was wondering when BCB will close the shop for vacation and those it mean it will even take longer to get my boat its already been 4 weeks ?

marty, We dont know about the 175 Pro XS going elsewhere, though we do know it was to come out some time next week with some other engines on waiting here. We also had to delay a delivery to Texas while we await an open driver. So your not alone on waiting, as they said there is a Texas load waiting to go also. We hope to have you fixed up pretty soon!BCB

marty,Im heading up to Lake Tamgemi in August. have you ever fished there? Looking for a little local knowledge…safe running boat lanes?, where the walleye(I hear you call them pickeral) hang in early August?,any chips for the lake available that are better than an 08 navionics Canada? If you know of anyone in your neck of the woods i could contact for this info that would be greatthanks,Bob OlinskiLast edited by Bobcat on June 26th, 2010, 2:40 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Bobcat,If Marty cant help answer your questions, jump on Facebook and hook up with JP Derose, http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/gettingschoold?ref=tsHe should be able to hook you up in most areas, or one of his friends should know the drill up there in some reasonable detail. BCB

Hi Bobcat, sorry it took so long to respond, Ive been AWOL for a while now dealing with work, a new house and of course tournaments… Lake Temagami is a great fishery for a lot of different fish… smallmouth bass, lake trout, walleye just to name a few! You wont find too many if any largemouth up there but there are lakes in the area that have them and great fishing as well. Just South of you is Lake Nippissing which has great smallmouth and largemouth fishing… BTW.. the largemouth are absolute suckers for frogs and jigs… our fish are way less pressured than most lakes South of the border so be ready to catch some decent numbers on your trip. If youre going after the smallmouth, concentrate on jerkbaits (4″) in Ayu, crankbaits (4 to 16 foot divers), tubes (3.5″ in green pumpkin and smoke) and dont leave your topwaters at home… Pop R style baits and walkers can get great results… double willow spinnerbaits can also do some damage… 1/2 oz with chartreuse white skirt and gold or silver blades.The techniques for up[ there are endless so if you have a fav style dont be afraid to try it… dropshot is another deadly technique… pick unsalted minnow style baits that are 3-4″. same colors as the tubes.If you need any specific info I can try to dig up more for you… just let me know.Thanks to dblplasaber for letting me know about this post!JP

Regarding the chip, Navionics Hotmaps Premium 2009 has Temagami on it in good detail, running with the chip is pretty straight forward… no wooded boat lanes up here…lolWalleye live a little deeper in the summer and hate light so early morning and dusk are prime activity times… drop shot, 1/4 oz jig head with a grub (twister tail) (3″) in white, smoke, or yellow seem to be Northern staples… Fintech Knuckle Ball jigs are great for pounding bottom and not getting caught in the rocks constantly…the Walleye also will eat crankbaits and jekbaits if you can get them in front of one. I have not fished Temagami but have fished around it a bit so my best advice would be to surf some sites to dig up info and also call some lodges to talk to the owners… especially if youre staying at one!BTW… most of the locals will tip their grubs with nightcrawlers, minnows or leeches… Im not big on bait but its hard to argue the success rates for walleye.JP
