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!



Rock Bass

Caught this little Rockbass at Petrie Island today. Another species caught this year! Looking to catch 15 differents species this year. Im currently at 6. (Walleye,Rockbass,Perch,Bullhead Catfish,Channel Catfish and Pike)





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.

Petit Pike At Petrie

Had a few hours to kill so decided to go down to Petrie for some fishing. Didn't take long before I had a small pike on the line. Wasn't to big but still a blast catching them! Later on, my friend Nick also caught a little DINK!



Another Outting at Green's Creek

Decided to give Green's Creek another try today. We had a much better day then a few days ago! I caught 3 Bullheads and 2 Channel Catfish my buddy Nick caught 2 Channel Cats. All the Bullheads we have been catching out of the creek have been between 10-14 inches. The catfish have been abit bigger ranging from 15-25 inches. On this outing we caught some nice catfish...Also caught a 3.9 Lbs Catfish but he got away before we could snap a picture!

22 Inches - 4.4 Lbs

21 Inches - 3.2 Lbs



Greens Creek Fishing

Went down to Green's Creek for some Bullhead & Catfish today. Was a slow day today compared to the other outtings we had there this year. Caught a few Bullheads and a Catfish. This spot as been producing alot of fish this year. I was suprised by how the bite was not on today! Oh, well I'll be back.

19 Inches - 2.8 Lbs

Raccoon

Was fishing Green's Creek today and saw this little guy wondering around. I got pretty close to get theses shots and he didn't seem to mind being on camera. I think it was sick or dying as he didn't move alot and was not afraid by the presence of a few fishermen near by.

Big Day for the Birthday Boy!

It was my friend Nick's birthday today. He decided that fishing would be a great way to spend his special day. We headed down to Green's Creek to try are luck again. It started off slow but really picked up in the afternoon. A few of are friends came and joined us abit later. It was one after another for a little while then it slowed down for a bit. We pulled out 24 Catfish, everything was between 15 and 19 inches. The birthday boy caught 10. It was a great day for fishing!



Petrie Island Panfish

Called up some friends of mine to see if they wanted to get their kayak wet for the first time this year. We decided to hit Crappie Bay at Petrie. Fished for a good 2 hours but got skunked. Found these two dead fish in a small pool of water. Was still a great day to get out on the water.



Windy day at Greens Creek

Decided to try a spot I have known of since I was a kid. It's a little creek off the Ottawa River. We got to the spot and there was a mini wind storm going on. Trees were falling right, left and center across from us. It was pretty intense. We rigged up are catfish rigs, casted and the waiting game began. We ended up catching a bunch of catfish. On the walk back to the car, we saw this pretty big tree hanging over to path just waiting to fall.
