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 […]

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 […]

A Giant Walleye On Cameron Lake

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 […]

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. […]

Rod Review: Shimano Compre

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 […]

Fishing For Walleye, Catching Crappie

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 […]

Rod Review: Fenwick HMX Medium Action

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, […]

Belwood Pike Derby 2013

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 […]

2013 Walleye Opener

This past weekend was the opener for the 2013 Walleye and Pike Opener in my district, and I was out on the water first day. It was great to get out, but it was a tough day on the water. Many of you will acknowledge that weather patterns have a dramatic effect on the fishing […]
