    Fall crappie off the dock

    Love fall fishing! Best time to fish the shallows for greedy bass! They almost come to you! A nice trip up to the highlands on a weekday is almost pure heaven.

    Fall crappie off the dock

    For the record, that has never happened and should never happen!!!!! :)

    Fall crappie off the dock

    Lol I know... the lack of photographic evidence puts me in a position to neither confirm, nor deny the existence of said fish. Wish I had brought a scale, let alone snap a photo. Who thinks to bring those for pan fishing!! :) Dugger, it was a black crappie, but not near the monster white...

    Fall crappie off the dock

    I love fall -- a great time to fish off docks. Nailed huge crappie off the Chippawa. The largest being just over 12.5". Catching them that size on ultra light tackle makes for a fun Saturday afternoon. Squirt tubes were the soup d'jour.

    Rattle or Not

    I have some that rattle, some that don't. IMO the rattle is always a plus and tend to gravitate towards noisy lures. When I'm pitching and flipping, I usually use a rattling jig, or add a bead between my sinker and knot just for an extra 'click' (and protect the knot). Some of the most...

    live toads!!!

    I do not have the link handy on this computer, but on the MNR fishing regulations page, there is a link that details what species of bait animals are allowed and prohibited. Includes frogs/toads, crayfish, bait fish, etc. A local frog population signals the health of the water body and it's...

    Baitcaster: what do you string it with?

    Online product reviews make me grin every time I read them. I'll admit, I may have expected too much from the 'affordable' braids. I've never actually forked out for the premium stuff. The first braid I ever tried was Fireline. The horror... the horror... I may have caught more fish on...

    Baitcaster: what do you string it with?

    Mono be praised! :) Braid -- when it's not tangled everywhere and everything, or getting sheared off by rock ledges, works great for fishing in heavy cover with heavy rigs. You can feel every everything that touches your line, but as mentioned, once it starts to get a little worn, it becomes...

    Baitcaster: what do you string it with?

    I use 30# braid (Spider Wire) and find that after a few trips the coating comes off and it starts to clump and knot -- which then I have to re-spool or else suffer major bird nests! Just curious what everyone else spools up with? I've been thinking of trying some 20# fluorocarbon, but I am to...

    Trout fishing

    Pretty much any great-lake tributary has trout. The Grand is a popular destination for folks in your area as it has pretty much every available game fish in it. Can't give you specific spots, but I am to understand there are several parks, conservations areas, ect that can gain you access to...

    Skunked at Scugog

    Try fishing the north tip of the 'island' if it is bucketmouth you seek. You will need some means of floating over to them. You won't believe what they can hide in at Scugog. Park your craft on the 'grass' and flip for them.

    First Salmon Run

    Tried the salmon run for the first time this weekend. What a completely different experience from bass fishing. Can see why people go crazy when these monsters stage the river mouths. Threw cleos, daredevils, krokodiles, jointed rapalas and kwickfish using 20lbs braided main line on a 9'...
