Going to Temple Bay Lodge for the first time July 5th-11th. First time in Canada and can't wait. A couple of questions.

1)We are using their rental boats. Do the IPilots have spot lock? Are they foot controlled?

2)What are the graphs like? 1 per boat? GPS? Down or Side Scan?

3)Is there good Muskie fishing close? We have to hire a guide day 1 but I need to learn to run the lake as I hear it's dangerous.

4)Besides Muskie we want to catch a bunch of big smallmouth. How is the smallie fishing in that area and that time of year? Bait suggestions/cover suggestions etc.

5)Do they give you a net big enough for muskie and a measuring board?

6)What should we expect for bugs and weather that time of year? Any tips on either?

Thanks in advance. We don't care about walleye at all except to catch just enough to do that shore lunch every day. Is it a pain to get the shore lunch kit in the boats?
