A few years ago my brother Chris and I started to make our own baits. We started simple, by making our own jigs. At first we thought it may be a cost effective solution for a part of our fishing hobby, but I learned quickly that wasn’t the case! The first investments were the big […]

Spring 2026 and it was time for the annual fly-in trip with Chris. After a great fall at Sunshine Lake, we were both eager to get on with our season of fresh water fishing. This spring we’d be at Harrogate through Leuenbergers. This was also the plan for Spring 2025, but I had open heart […]

Fall 2025 and our first fly in trip of the year. Our Spring Trip had to be cancelled to deal with some health issues, so both Chris and I were chomping at the bit to get out into the quiet of the bush to crush some Walleye (and hopefully a big Pike). It’s always tough […]

I’ve done my share of fishing trips over the years, and I’ve driven to most, and flown on bush plane to several, but in the summer of 2022 I mixed it up, and took the train! MarMac Lodge is located on Esnagi Lake, and is well known not only as a great fishery, but also […]

I had a number of great fishing trips planned for 2022. I’d already completed my first visit to the Miramichi River, to fish for Striped Bass, and I was ready to get into some serious Walleye action. Our journey started out with a first for us, having to make an unplanned landing partway to the […]
2023 Bruce Trail End to End Hike, All Things Fishing Jul 12, 2023
Having completed the first section of the Bruce Trail, it was time to carry on heading north. I again dropped off by my friend Nathan, who met me at my end point and dropped me off where I had last finished in Grimsby. I find it way better to hike back to my truck, rather […]

Fall is my favourite time of year to fish. The fish are fattening up, the weather is cooler, and you can often more easily identify “where they will be”. When my brother and I decided to make a one-day run up to one of our go to spots at the Bayfield Inlet, we were hoping […]

It was summer 2019 when I was at Brace Lake Outfitters for my second time, and having another amazing trip. I was in the main lodge chatting with owner Kyle Poleski when he said he had something he wanted to show me. It was the location of an outpost camp he had just acquired on […]

Enjoy this trip report of my weekend fishing at Rock Pine Resort.

It was time for another day trip up to the Bayfield Inlet. The last time we were here, we had generally slow fishing, but Chris landed two big beauties (and broke a rod). Conditions looked pretty good for us, with clear skies, modest temperatures, with some wind that had the chance to pick up. We’ve […]
