Christmas Gear 2013

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, mostly because I haven’t been on the water in a long time! I was out in November, but I just had a terrible outing, nothing worth putting on the screen, so this is my first time to post anything meaningful. I’m in the midst of a job […]

Still some great fishing planned, and I have a goal!

Fall is by far my favourite season of the year. I love the temperatures, the colors, and the fact that most bodies of water have very low traffic on them. The view of my surroundings as I’m on the water in Fall just add that extra level of enjoyment, and the backdrop for those fishing […]

Fishing is a Team Sport

I recently went on my annual Father and Son fishing trip to Bayfield Lodge, in the Bayfield Inlet of Pointe Au Baril, in the Georgian Bay Region. We’ve been going to this same lodge for over 20 years, and enjoy the combination of friendship, scenery, and hopefully a few fish along the way. This photo […]

Two Lures, In One Fish!

I was out for a great morning of fishing today, again on Conestoga Lake. There were a few reasons why this morning was so special. First of all, the weather was spectacular, I love Fall weather, and it has begun. Secondly, we are still fishing this lake, whereas last year the water was too low […]

Nice Pike On Conestoga Lake

I was out on Conestoga Lake a few nights ago, for a couple hours of fishing. We were focussing on a specific bay, and working a shore line that was ranging for 10-20 feet. The fish were holding in the 10-12 foot range so we were working that depth. I tried using crawler harnesses, but […]

  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 […]

Jigging Initiatives

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 […]

Storing my Hard Baits

As I get ready to head on my Fly In Fishing Trip with Hearst Air, I’ve been getting my equipment ready. One of the things I have to do is get a lot of tackle and gear to fit in a small space, as their are both weight and size restriction for the float plane. […]

A Northern Pike Personal Best at Kenlea Cottages

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. […]
