Having enjoyed my annual father and sons fishing trip with my Dad for almost 30 years, the time was nigh to start my own family fishing tradition. I’m fortunate that my kids (Hannah and Jacob) both seem to enjoy fishing when given the chance, and I’m so pleased that they have begun to show an […]

Every year I count down the days until I can get out on the open water and fish for my favourite species, Walleye and Northern Pike. I have nothing against other fish, I enjoy catching Bass, Perch, Musky etc, but my greatest joy comes from the challenge of catching Walleye and the ferociousness of Pike. […]

Well 2016 is behind us, and from the perspective of spending time with family and friends on the water, and in the outdoors in general, it was a great year. The combination of sunny and dry summer, along with an unusually warm fall meant that I had more opportunities to get outside when the opportunity […]

It’s December 2016 and I’m looking back on a great year on the water, but also a backlog of adventures to post about. One of which is my annual Father / Son/ Friends fishing trip that is pushing 3 decades of history. This year we decided to try a different location, to mix things up. […]

I’ve been fishing the Bayfield Inlet for almost three decades, and I’ve had some great times there. A couple years ago, a group of buddies who have done their own guys weekend for years were in search of a new destination, so I suggested they check the area out and consider basing out of the […]

Getting out on the water for fishing trips, be they for a week or weekend, are not about getting away from my family, but going to a destination to experience the outdoors. A few years ago my father, brother and I were joined on our first “couples weekend”, which not only allowed our partners to […]

I recall that my passion for fishing started at an early age, when groups of us would head down to the local pond to fish for trout, or chubs or suckers, or whatever would bite. We’d use those red and white floats and worms, eventually getting really tricky by adding in some corn, with hopes of catching… […]

Our family makes an annual trip to Tomiko Lake Lodge, which is in the area of Crystal Falls / Sturgeon Falls, between North Bay and Sudbury. On this year’s trip I accepted an invitation to do some fishing with a couple friends who live up in the local area. Since I like fishing, like the outdoors, […]

Recently my brother and I took what we called a “scouting trip” to the French River, in preparation for two other trips we have planned to the area: our annual August “couples trip”, followed by my annual “Father / Sons / Friends” trip in September. Our scouting trip would be our first time fishing this […]
