Well, I’m late again! I must be delayed with the endless days of shovelling this year. Can you believe how much snow and cold we’ve been getting in Southwestern Ontario? I just keep reminding myself that in a few months, I’ll be fishing on that snow after it’s melted, and that it’s a good sign […]
All Things Fishing, Trip Reports Sep 2, 2013
It’s been a couple weeks since I got back from my fly in trip to McLeister Lake, and high time for me to give the report. This was our second time flying with Hearst Air, last year to Hilmer Lake. We were well prepared this time around for how this outfitter works, what the […]

I love catching Walleye, and I’ve had my best success catching them by using vertical jigging, but there are some other jigging techniques I’d like to learn to use as well. A couple I’m hoping to use on the upcoming trip, are bouncing jigs down drop offs and shelves,as well has pop or rip jigging […]

I had a request for which is my preferred fishing line for my rods. I’ve used lots of line over the years, from traditional mono, to fluorocarbon, and then into the super lines. I now use Suffix 832 on all my reels. Now, I know that braid is not the perfect choice in all cases, […]

It’s been a while since I posted, because it’s been a while since I fished, but today I remedied that. I headed to Cameron Lake in the Kawartha Lake area with my buddy Scott. He was up on this lake last weekend and did really well on the Walleye front, so we decided to give […]

This past weekend my brother and two friends of mine headed up to Pointe Au Baril Station in Ontario, for a quick overnighter fishing trip (a late fathers day get-a-way). I’ve been fishing the 10000 Island area of Georgian Bay for over 20 years, and I just love the scenery and diversity of fishing locations. […]

My newest rod is my 7 foot, 2 pc, medium light Shimano Compre. I picked this rod up in 2013 for the sole purpose of jigging. My previous rod had been effective, but as I got better at picking up the bite, I needed a rod that was just that had that extra bit of […]

Recently a buddy of mine and I went out to Conestoga Lake to target some Walleyes. We had an area in mind, based on some intel from various locals. When the area to fish was described, I knew what I was looking for based on the shore line, and having seen the distinctive features last […]

Probably the rod I use the most often is my Fenwick HMX 7 Ft, Medium, Fast Action, 2 pc rod. Until I purchased a rod exclusively for jigging, my Fenwick served as my trolling rod for medium / small baits, and for my jigging rod, as it had great sensitivity. I love the overall weight of the rod, […]

This weekend saw me enter my first ever tournament, the annual Belwood Lions Pike Derby, held on Belwood Lake. There were over 500 entrants, and while I had no expectation of winning the tournament, my brother Chris and I did have expectations to put a fish or two up on the qualifying board. The minimum […]
