Congrats. Strange looking livewell you got there lol j/k.

I had fish on baptiste last year dropping a brown with a chartruse tip senko in the cabbage in the deeper parts of the lake, some good bass in there. My cousin was having luck with frogs in swampy areas; locals would swear by frogs, but live ones. I tried cranks, but not much luck there...

Try using some swimbaits for pike. Target any structure close to deeper water in the summer months. Also, trolling a Jointed Rapala (J-11 or J-13) around the lake will help you locate some fish.

In all honesty, I haven't been up to the cottage much this year and everytime I have been thus far my time has been dedicated to some project. This summer has been really busy at work and lots of travel to boot. Really takes out of the fishing time, planning on heading up soon for a couple...

Been recently getting into drop shotting for them with 3inch Gulp Alive leaches, my percentages went up drastically. Up North, the ol's jig n' minnow is the ticket. But I realize these tactics, while productive, may be low on the action scale. As mentioned, jointed rapalas over weedbeds...

Oh top waters....zara spook. Sometimes they just jump right out of the water for this walk-the dog bait.

Spinnerbait is ideal for weeds because they do not hang up on them too often. I'd cast the edges first. The pike like to hide in the thick stuff and ambush their "prey" from within. You can also trying "burning" your spinnerbait right above the weeds, if possible. Reel as fast as you can so...

hahaha. great minds think alike.

x2 on the white spinnerbait, concentrate on, in and around weed beds. Good ol' spoon in red/White and five of diamonds are a good option. Also, an in-line spinner, such as a Mepps black furry (Balck and charturse) are good pike lures.

Sounds like a great trip. My best walleye, from the Upper French on the South end of Nippissing, was 27inches and 7 lbs. Nice Fish, can't wait to see some pics.

I've had success using a three inch minnow on a jig head for walleye. Drop shotting the leaches is deadly for smallmouth.

Hey jimithing, I'm from Mississauga. Good on you for knowing to get a liscence, first and foremost. You can get one at LeBaron's, on Dundas Street just two lights East of Dixie. There you will find all your fishing needs; rods, reels, equipment, tackle, bait, etc. You can check out local...

Weightless senkos or some other variation.

Interesting suggestions fellas, ones I'll keep in mind should I return to a similar lake. I was using 6lbs flourocarbon line, perhaps I should have considered going to 4lbs on the extra spool. I was using # 1 and 2 size spinners. Speaking with locals when I was up there, I was informed that...

I was on ther Upper French last year around June 6th. Bugs didn't bite but they were out in hordes. Bug nets essential.

I like the recipies section. I would add a reference section say for up-to-date weather reports/links, hydrographic or general lake maps, product reviews.

Just a quickie report, nothing spectacular. Fished for a couple hours each day of the Victoria day long weekend. Mostly using spinners and worms under floats. Caught many OOS smallmouth and a handful of rockbass; no rainbows were had. I didn't take any pictures of the OOSn fish as I beleive...

Just a a pinch of parsley....lol. J/K. I had that happen to me, except it was with that juice that came with some fake salmon eggs. I'm sure the fish didn't mind, but I just about gagged everytime I opened my tackle box. I airred it out over a week and it was fine. Don't know if it will...

I suggest doing a search on crown land. Crown land may be camped on for free for up to 21 days. Find a nice peice of land with a marina close by to accomodate a boat rental. Welcome to the site.
