@@coolkidmandude1 thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate the support!!

@@johnroyal943 thank you!! All the components are from a company called RAM mounts, here’s the link to my video about how I built the setup: ruclips.net/video/_e5RpiVbqQo/видео.htmlsi=ckg2WCSe8MpZPlQi

@@ntlineman thanks for the tip!!

@@ryanfarrar9863 thank you for watching! Right now, I would look for weedlines and moving water for fish. Wherever you can find green weeds, fish will be nearby. Insula and Alice are both fantastic multi-species lakes worth fishing. The water temps will likely be dropping in the next week or so, so trolling deep diving rapalas (15-20’) should be effective, too. Good luck!

No BS from me!

@@kevinharrington3292 haha! We certainly have our tough days on the water, but we can almost always find a couple of small bass or a slimy pike.

@@brentkelly5445 25lbs for trolling and 15-20 for jigging

@@nathanline9448 thank you! Love my Northwind 👌👌

@@nathanline9448 here you go!

Thanks!

@@PurpleFerret you’re welcome! Be careful using us as an example…we move A LOT quicker than your average duo. Most people stop at Agnes after a long first day. Most people also don’t start before sunup…

​@@therealfarwater yeah we're not as experienced - and while we intend on starting a bit before sunrise we're planning to stop on Agnes and break the trip into Lac La Croix up so we can fish Agnes & Boulder River a bit before heading into boulder bay

@@PurpleFerret excellent! Sounds like a great plan. If the fishing is slow on Agnes, I’d move on to LLC quickly-tons of great campsites and excellent fishing. The water is always a couple of degrees cooler there, too, so if Agnes is slow it may help change the bite/fish mood. I was in Quetico this week and the water is warm and the blueberries are popping. Find moving water and you’ll find fish. Have a blast! Wear your lifejackets!

@@dannyb6968 for this trip, we traveled up Moose Lake, Newfound and Sucker to Prairie Portage where we paid to get a tow up and over into Basswood. You can also head in via fall lake and do the wheeled portages into Pipestone and Jackfish Bays but you need a lightweight boat with portage wheels because there isn’t a truck portage to carry you over. If you’re interested, I’d call Vosburg’s on Moose lake, they can set it up for you.

Yup! I’ve caught plenty of lakers on the purpledescent tail dancer, it’s the second one I mention when I talk about my favorite cranks

Yup! Also ram mount brand. Tough claw paired with one of their rod holders

Humminbird helix 5 with a 10ah Dakota lithium battery - here’s a link to a video i did about my setup.

@@therealfarwater thanks

Thank you!!

So good!! Enjoy!!

Likewise!! I look forward to hearing about/watchint your Basswood trip

Can’t remember the size but it’s one smaller than the original. The original is my go-to, but the smaller size works great, too!

Haha

Thank you!! I love using the drift sock, it’s invaluable for slowing down the drift and stabilizing the boat. I’ve since shortened the leash so the fish don’t get caught up when landing them. I can’t remember the brand, but I bought it at fleet farm for like $40. It’s the smallest motorboat sized they offered (12-16’).

@@therealfarwater Thank you for the reply. Much appreciated. I guess the question I should have asked is your drift sock 18", 20", 24" wide or some other width? I suspect a solo vs tandem canoe will react differently along with the wind speed and canoe make that will factor into the drift sock performance. I know from experience that a Wenonah Spirit ll catches more wind than a Souris River Quetico 17. And to me there is a safety trade off in how slow you want the canoe to be vs having some drift sock give in case you get hit be a large wave. I am thinking an 18" or 20" for a Quetico 17. Your thoughts?

Geez thanks.

Thanks!! My kit is actually pretty small, only weighing about 6.5lbs including the lithium ion battery. Here’s a video with the rundown of my setup: ruclips.net/video/_e5RpiVbqQo/видео.htmlsi=HNSk7WRK8lVLhgNU

Thank you!

Thanks for watching! I am taking a big Quetico trip this year-May 9-22nd to chase lake trout and walleye, mostly. We’ve had a warm winter with very little precipitation-believe it or not all lakes have been ice free for at least a week now!

Haha, thanks! Swimming was a great break from all the work. Swimming is always my favorite (other than fishing) thing to do on BWCA trips!

Gotta be on big water to find them this size: LLC, Basswood, maybe Knife. Use big baits: spoons, tubes, crankbaits. Best chance is probably to paddle around with a sonar and sharp shoot them in deeper water

Awesome! No better place in all the world (I assume, anyways)! The BW is a must-visit!!

@@therealfarwater I couldn't agree more! Can't wait to call Minnesota home!

Yes, I did. Full rundown of the setup piece by piece on my website: chasingfarwater.con

Thank you for watching!!

It sure was! Went to Thomas looking for lake trout but found walleye and warm weather!

For this video, mostly my GoPro 10. My main camera is a Panasonic GH5 but I don’t use that while in the boat, just around camp

Wenonah Blacklite Bent shaft

Thank you! Will do!

We sure do have a blast on these canoe trips! I really enjoy sharing that joy with you all. As always thanks for watching!

Interesting…they’ve always told me not to photograph the pictographs when I pick up my permit at the ranger station

Northstar Northwind Solo!

We intentionally took a detour through some lakes we hadn’t seen before to check out the fire damage. That took us past curtain to Rebecca where we stayed on night, then back to Crooked past Curtain again…sorry, I know it was confusing, I just didn’t want to announce the name of the lake we had spectacular lake trout fishing the first two days of the trip

Glad you didn't name that lake - it was fun to sleuth it out!

It happens to everyone, you’re no less of a legend for falling. At least I didn’t tell them about all the crying…

@@therealfarwater So much crying

To be fair those were some rough portages lol. I can't see anyone getting through there without a scratch.

Thanks for watching! I've got a lot more coming so stay tuned!

Thank you for watching and thank you for the feedback! I plan on doing a lot more filming of "camp life" in the future. I got a really nice tripod I am excited to bring along and get more comfortable shooting footage with my main camera, rather than just the gopro footage from the boat. Here's a tutorial for how we cook our trout: ruclips.net/video/9509EhIk3J4/видео.html

Twas a glorious day!

Thank you for watching and sharing your love of Quetico! I hadn't visited the park until I moved up here in 2019 and I'm absolutely hooked (pun intended)! I've got a lot more Quetico content coming your way!

A simple drift sock designed for motorboats. This is the smallest size I could find-designed for motorboats 12-14’ in length. It has been a game changer for us, much more effective than an anchor and infinitely easier to use

@@therealfarwater I'll have to check that out, thank you!

@@TheTubemaster007 totally worth the $40. I got mine at fleet farm, I believe. Packs down small and doesn’t spook the fish like a traditional anchor.
