Fishing trips, or weekends, or afternoons, for me are primarily about connecting with the people I’m with. Catching a trophy or finding yourself in a great bite is an added bonus that I’ll take, of course. Each summer, for about the past 30 years, I’ve headed up for a weekend of fishing with my father, […]

In my final post about my epic trip to Pym Island on the Attiwapiskat River, I’ll turn our attention to the incredible Walleye fishing. Many people know the Attiwapiskat as a haven for large Pike, but there are also an abundance of large Walleye to target as well. As I mentioned in my recent posts […]

Good friends, great weather, familiar water, what could be better when it was time for the now annual guys fishing weekend?

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 […]

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, […]

Like many of you, I keep an eye out for both lures that have been around for a while but I’ve never tried, and for brand new lures to the market. A couple years ago I was excited to try two new products from Rapala, the BX Minnow and the Scatter Rap. I’ve written before […]
