Petit Pike

Went with my buddy Dan to hunt some Muskies down. We hit up this new spot of his where you don't have to do so much paddling. I was just casting along to weed bed when this token pike hit. She measured 27 inches. Thought it was maybe a Musky. Would have been my first one! Oh, well! I'll have to wait another day!

Good Old 5 to 7

Wook up today at 5 this morning, as my wife gets up at that time to go to work. I had the day off.(Lucky me)So decided to go out till around 7am. Got there at 5:30 and started casting. The water was so calm you could see all the minnows jumping all over the river. Right at around 7 is when I caught this nice 15 inch Large Mouth. At around 4pm that same day was sitting at home doing nothing and decided to eat a little something and head out again, for the evening 5 to 7. She hit at 6 o'clock sharp. Gave me a pretty good fight too! This one was 16 inches long. They both weighed around 2.6 lbs.

16 inches (caught in the evening)

15 inches (caught in the morning)

Mini Walleye

Went to my favorite spot yesterday! Again! Was jigging my spinner bait in the 2nd culvert right in the corner where it drops off to a deeper pool when she hit. She's was just a little 17 incher about 1.5 lbs I guess. What I found funny is that the Asian guy was almost begging me the give it to him. I told him that I only practice catch and release! He was a good sport about it, as he still took the picture for me.

52 Inch Musky

We got on the water at 3pm sunday and hit our spots from last weekend. Things were slow but we did raise a large fish on the same spot as where we raised a pig last weekend. We spent the night in Wendover so we could be on the water bright and early monday. After waking up to rain, we took our time and launced in a mist at 9:30am. Buck joined us and the three of us strapped down our Wetskins and started pounding the weedbeds. After a damp morning, the sun came out at 12:30pm and she hit....... She hit a burnt Buchertail off a weed-knob right on a main-river point. She fought hard, like a tank... she boiled, she jumped and landed on the tip of my yak god-bless her. She made our hearts beat faster than they have beaten in a while.....

LargeMouth Bass

Decided to go down the hill from my place to Petrie Island again. Went to the spot I always go to (1st culvert) and started casting a spinner bait. Cast for about 30 minutes and was about to give up on the spot and then she hit hard right at the shore line. It measured 20 inches long and weighed in at 3.9 lbs. Not much of a fight, but a hog!

Bass fishing at Bate Island

Just came back from Bate Island, off the Champlain Bridge. I've known this spot for a few years now. Doesn't produce big bass but your almost guaranteed at least a few small ones. Went with a friend of mine and caught at least a dozen and missed probably another half dozen. Everything was between 5 to 12 inches long. Nothing BIG, but beautiful spot to relax and enjoy fishing!

Shore fishing at Petrie Island

About a month back, after work I decided to go fishing at Petrie Island for an hour or so. I went right to the 1st culvert and on my first cast, something hit my SpinnerBait as soon at it landed in the water. I set the hook to fast and missed it! The very next cast it hit again and this time I brought it in. Nice 4 lbs Walleye! Not even 20 minutes after was reeling in and did a figure 8 in front of this rock hole and BANG! Thous a Bass! A nice 2.6 lbs Largemouth. Not bad for an hour of fishing.

Buck Loves Musky

Thunderstorm warning in the forecast, PERFECT! We wanted to be there before it hit or until sunset, witch ever came first. Thunderstorm did not hit but the Musky did... We were happy to see our buddy 'Buck' catch his first Yak-Musky, a nice one too! She hit a buckertail(black/orange/black) right over a rock pile. Right on Buck!
