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.



Last Outing on Open Water for 2010

Yep! Call us crazy, but we figured there was one last boat run on the St. Lawrence for walleye. Was a mild day in the forecast, temperature hovering around 0 degrees without wind shield factor. Got dressed with about a dozen layer's and ready I was. My friend Matt had been the week before and caught 65 Walleye. Well, we beat that by 14 Walleyes, catching a total of 79 Walter's. Everything was between 18 and 23 inches long with big belly's. We caught half a dozen that were between 24 to 26 inches, in the 5 pound'er range. All in all, Great day!



1st Ice fishing Outing of the year

One of my good fishing partner's gave me a call today, asking me if I wanted to go ice fishing with him on his Birthday. It's been a traditions of his that goes back many years. We headed to a little feeding hole he knows of on the Ottawa river. There was already someone set up when we got there, so we moved abit further down and drilled a few holes here and there. We were jigging little spoons tipped with a minnow. About an hour in, Manny hooked up a nice 22.5 inch Walleye. Well I guess the fish god's sent him a Birthday present this year!

22.5 Inches

Fall Walleye on the St. Lawrence River (Part 2)

Yup! That's right we went back to the spot on the St. Lawrence, on an even colder day then last Sunday. We did abit better then last time and caught 16 Walleyes and 2 Smallmouth Bass. We fished the same technique, jigging off bottom nice and slow. We ended up keeping some walleye like last time. The smallmouth my buddy caught was a fall fatty, measuring in at 19''.

19 Inches



Petrie Island Crappie Fishing

With nice warm November weather in the forecast, a friend and I decided to take the kayaks out one last time. We were going to Petrie to fish for Crappie. I have caught some before but never really fished for them, so I went and bought my self some tiny crappie jigs to rig up on my ice fishing rod. I was also going to test the new fish finder I installed on the yak. We hit up Crappie Bay, didn't take to long to find schools on the sonar. We caught about a dozen of them, I had a blast and will definitely be going Crappie fishing again!

  The BIG one of the Day!

Fall Walleye on the St. Lawrence River (Part 1)

A friend of mine decided he wanted to show me a good fall Walleye spot on the St. Lawrence. Packed our stuff and got dressed for the occasion. Its was a cold day all around but definitely worth it. We caught 15 Walleyes between 3 guys. It was mostly Rich, my buddy's friend that caught them all. He had a horse shoe up his, you know what! We were jigging off bottom with big jig heads & smoke colored tubes. The biggest was the first one of the day :) Measured 26 inches & weighted 5.10 lbs.

26 Inches & 5.10 Lbs
