All Things Fishing, Equipment & Gear Jan 11, 2015
When I started fishing as a young boy, it meant heading to the local creek or small pond fishing for trout, and usually catching suckers or chub. When I got into my late teens I was included in the annual Father and Son Fishing Trip. At the time I was 17, which was old enough […]

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 […]

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 […]
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 […]

There is something special for me about having a shore lunch. It could be the art of starting a fire on a random piece of bedrock, using brush, tinder and dead fall, ignited by flint and steel. Perhaps it’s the great company, or perhaps the usual pitures que setting. Maybe it’s the taste of freshly […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]
