I'm in complete agreement Sterling.
The Nipissing main lake basin is usually a smorgasbord of many different species...never a boring outing...you can catch almost anything, on any given day.
And as you also indicate...more often then not, you'll end up catching more big fish out there...walleye and perch for sure...bass at times as well.
Hopefully, you're able to slip back out to fish...even with your busy home schedule.
Lots of big fish for everyone, that's for sure.
