It escapes me - How did this end up in "Report section" of this web site ????
I mean, there is nothing in here that one report should have, - please see example here : http://www.ontariofishingforums.com...ead-report-example-of-an-off-report-t420.html



Do not get me wrong, while your contribution is somewhat helpful , saying fishing on grand river is (to me) just as saying "I was fishing in Ontario".... :roll:

So, Can you post bit more info on this, such as exact location where you were fishing, google map perhaps ?

Sorry halleb for the lack of info in my posts, I'm new to the etiquette of posting! In the future I will try to include as much information as possible! As to where I fish in the grand, it is in caledonia, about a mile up river from the dam, just past the campground. I would post a map if I knew how! We were slowly trolling rapala crankbaits (sr-5) in chartruese and firetiger color. the pike was caught about 4 feet from shore and hit the lure about 1 second after it hit the water. Next time out I will try the (sr-7) in the same color. Although I've had luck with other colors, I find with murky water the brighter the better. We were in approx 5-6 feet of water along the shore bouncing the cranks off bottom, Water temp was 72-73 but i'm sure it has dropped a little by now. I would give a time of day but I've had luck any time of day there, besides is there really any bad time to fish!! I hope this helps!!! cheers!!!

Rapala SR-5

Thanks buckaroo - I appreciate this info very much, and I am sure that other members will like it too.

Perhaps, I can help you (for the future reports) with the maps. If you do not have already , you can download and install (it is free) Google Earth from http://earth.google.com/ . Once you have the program up and running, you can easily find the location where you were fishing , to save and use the map - then just click on : File > Save > Save Image ; such saved image you can upload to our gallery (or or other web site that offers pictures hosting) , and you link it in your report. Hopefully this will come handy to you.
