Rainy Morning = Good Fishing

Got up this morning and saw it was raining, perfect! Called a good friend of mine that I hadn't seen in awhile and told him to come down with his kayak so we can go fishing as soon as the rain would stop. Got on the water at around noon, and started casting the shore line while my buddy was trolling the weed line. Within 45 minutes, BANG! A 25 inches Walleye weighing 5 lbs hit my friends Cotton Cordell (Big-O). The wind was making things really hard so decided to go into the channel for abit. Still trolling around the weed lines, and look who catches another one! This time it was a 35 inch Northern, weighing in at 8.5 lbs. I on the other hand got skunked!!!

Day At Work On The Water

Got the call Sunday night that I had Monday off, so I decided to spend it on the water. Did A morning run from 7am till noon. Got 6 or 7 bites but nothing was hooking on, till I entered this little channel were I caught a 19 inches walleye. Came to take the picture and camera said 'Recharge Battery Pack'. Thank god I didn't land something big, I would have had no proof! Went back home to make lunch for 'The Wife' and do abit of house work. That keeps her happy! Recharged the camera and off I go again. Stayed on the water from 5pm to 8pm. This is were the action began.....Caught 9 pike! Three of them were between 25 and 30 inches, one was 24 inches and five SnotRockets around the 15-20 inch mark. Also landed another nice 24 inch Walleye. Casted so much that I think I have 'Fishpal tunnel'

Keep your fishing spot CLEAN

Was doing alot of shore fishing at Petrie Island at this one spot. One day I realized how dirty and filthy it was. I had a rice cake bag so decided to start picking up stuff. Filed my bad pretty quick but found two minnow bag so used them to put trash in them. Picked up close to a dozen plastic bottles, Tim Horton's cups, worm container's, tons of fishing line, even hook and broken lures. Take a look at first picture. Told my self from now on I always bring a plastic bag when I go fishing to pick up trash and keep my spot Clean. It came in handy next time I returned about two weeks after I picked up more trash from the same spot.

Two weeks after

Will The Musky Bite?

Hit the water early this morning around 6:45 am. I Casted and retrieved along the bank where I raised a massive Musky last night. Hit the beaver dam for a good 30 minutes, casted about 30-45 times but nothing. Was fishing with a Reed Runner with a trailer hook topped off with a white 4 inch twister. Continued along the same bank till I got to two weed bed points forming a channel into a small bay off the river. That was the HOT spot! Started off by catching this nice Bass, then caught two Blue Walleye 10 minutes apart. The second one was a beast measuring 28 inches and weighing 6.8 lbs. I also missed another Walleye and a Bass. Wow! What a morning.....

Raised a 'PIG' of a Musky

Went out this afternoon for a couples of hours to try my luck. It was a nice cool day compared to the 30 degrees and plus we have been getting. Caught 2 pike around the 25 inch mark. Got off the water around 2:30 pm, went home and took a power nap. At around 5:30 pm, since to Yak was still on the car, I decided to go for another run. Hooked another pike, this one measured in at 28 inches. I also missed a bass, witch spit my lure while it was showing off his acrobats. But, as the title says....I raised a big fat pig of a musky right beside a beaver dam. It bumped my lure right at the Yak and boiled right under me. All I heard was 'thump' right on the kayak and saw this massive green silhouette beside me. After seeing my buddy catch a 45 inch Tiger Musky, I'm sure this beast was pushing 50 inches. Let the spot calm down for abit and hit it again but nothing. Guess what I'm doing tomorrow morning? The Hunt Continues..........
