23 Inch Walleye

I went out fishing at about 11am at Remi Lake near Moonbeam, Ontario. It was overcast. I was really excited to get out for the first time this year. I wasn't expecting much because of the time of day. I was fishing for about an hour and I didn't get a bite. It was really windy so I started drifting towards the mouth of a creek and then bang.......I hooked a 23 inch walleye!!!


What a way to start the summer vacation!!!!!

Fishing At The Cottage

Went down to the cottage this week-end to put the boat in the water. Didn't get it in till Saturday as Friday it rained all day long, non stop. Once on the water Saturday we started trolling an area where we thought would be good spot for walleye. Took a little while but finally hooked one up! Nothing big but it was a sign of life! About an hour after catching the walleye, my dad hooked up a smallmouth bass. Gave him a nice little fight before I was able to land him. We headed in for the morning...

13.5 Inches

15 inches

We went back out for an evening run. I loss a nice smallmouth right off the bat. After that nothing all evening until we came back into the little bay where my cottage is. I tried a few cast close to some fallin' trees under water and this little Dink! bit my jig.


On the Sunday we hit the water around 7am. My dad got a bit early but lost it close to the boat, we never saw what it was. After that it took 2 hours before my old man caught a white fish. Nothing big came out this week-end, but I'll be back!

Nick's Big Pike at Petrie

Went down to Petrie Island today for a few hours with my fishing buddy. I decided to launch the kayak and try my luck. My buddy Nick fished from shore as his kayak is in florida. Didn't take long, about half hour in Nick caught this nice pike. We estimated it around the 30 Inch range. Nice catch Nick!

Snapping Turtle

Was just minding my own business fishing along the culvert when I heard something move in the bush behind me. Went to take a closer look and to my surprise found this pretty big snapping turtle trying to make his way down the hill to get to the water.
