Default Wabamun Sept 22/12((((PICS))))

Hey yal, was out at Wabamun on the weekend trying out a new to me Merc 9.9
Trolled around in the sun all afternoon, took me an hour to dial everything in.

The fishing was slow to decent we still managed to put 15 fish in the boat, losing a few more and my friend broke off a "mystery?" fish that hammered his lure dove for the bottom and the snapped him off. All I can say is "you should have bought the sufix 832"......lol

All in all a good afternoon fishing and my new motor runs beauty.

Here's some pics of a 12 pound pike that I caught. Finally got to try out my new craddle.......... pretty sweet
Enjoy..........

nice pics!
the cradle, quick question....... I have read that the fabric nets are not really that good for the fish. I see the cradle is fabric, but is it better then a net due to the shape?? Seems like an excellent way to handle bigger fish out the water and so on......think I can justify spending 100 on a rubber net now that I fish so often, but a cradle seems like a good option too (for bigger fish)

Nice work man!

Maybe we'll have a chance to meet up out there before the end of the season...the fish should only be getting bigger now!

MONGER........... the craddle is rubber coated small holes to keep from tangling in gills and such.
Runs about 60 bucks at TFH.
way better option than a net for the big girls.
