In Topic: Bucket List Trip

I'm in the Ottawa Valley and would be happy to point you in the direction of a few hotspots. There is so much water out here that I haven't spent any time on the Ottawa River because i've been so preoccupied with the lakes in the area. Lots of great bass/pike/walleye fishing out here as well. Going to want to stick to bigger water for muskie (Kemptville on Rideau system too) but if you want to get into some of the smaller bodies let me know!

The biggest problem I have with tech is powering it. Our little boat at home has a Raymarine Dragonfly 4 on it, I have the Humminbird Fish'n Buddy and an older Humminbird model. We have no power in the camp aside from a small solar panel to radio the plane and the lake is a 2 hour hike (+1hr paddling) in dense brush and waist-deep beaver swamp to get there. A big deep cycle just isn't going to make it in there with all the camp gear and fishing stuff needing to go in as well.
I'd be open to buying a different unit if you had recommendations in terms of portability.

Thank you so much. That's great. Any thoughts on best setup for "lakers but maybe a big pike" in case something grabs on that's toothy? Could I use braid and then a heavy fluoro lead?
