Great fishing trips. I guess you like doing the more remote fishing. The pics seem to have perfect lighting. Nipigon is a 12hr drive from my house.

I knew the Bunkster when he was a yungen. His photography has greatly evolved to the point that I am enjoying the photography more then the stories! Sorry Bunk! The arctic, like any other cool place on earth only gives you more opportunity. He has the eye.

bunk not to take away from your obvious incredible knack for photography, but the arctic really seems like a place where its impossible to not take an incredible photo. Thanks for taking the time to post this, in the days of instagram and social media its difficult to make an effort to sit down and really write a report, and post. I should take the time an post an annual report, its been a few years and the process of thinking back and writing about it is great in its own whether anyone reads it or not.

Thanks John - I look forward to meeting angling enthusiasts and sharing stories

Welcome Marek. Some good guys and gals here.

Hey Bunk. Either the file is super duper mega, larger than my laptop has ever seen or there is a problem with it. Still waiting after 2 minutes. Seems we're good now.

Odd year 2025. Fishing took "a bit" of a back seat to health, getting older and work at times so, the number of days dwindled down a little from the norm. That said, when the fall season finally ended in early November, there was this rather incredible body of fishing and adventures that had taken place. A rundown for travel was Kimmirut NU, Cancun Mexico, Nipigon, Grise Fiord NU, Home, Nipigon, Great Bear Lake NWT, Taloyoak NU, Nipigon and finally into a cottage for nearly two months before back to work in Arctic Bay NU before Xmas. Everything from Arctic char, longnose gar, some of the biggest lakers I've ever caught, brookies, pike, walleye, a PB whitefish, largies, smallies and some enormous muskies, few casts were left untaken. Friends and family alongside for much of the time. Anyhow, long gone are the days fishing reports are cool anymore to most but, I don't give much of a faaawk 'bout that. It's the way it's been and may always be. This link shares all that 2025 fishing and travel, packed with pictures from atop glacial mountains in the highest arctic community of North America to a sunny beach in Mexico or Great Bear of a trophy fish lake in the NWT. There's a video of the largest shoreline fish I've ever caught, links to all the full detailed reports and some thoughts on what it means to honour your story.

Went back there yesterday, 1 pike in 3 hours. A small pike too… lol.

Just a few, same camera and it screwed up. 5722 pics of an open stubble field and no animals or anyhing of movement that should have triggered the camera.. Judging by the tracks there should have been a lot more deer pics. I swapped it with another one today

Thank you - I like sharing my memorable catches

Welcome aboard, some nice pictures there, we like pictures.

Hi fellow fishermen and fisherwomen - my name is Marek and I am an experienced angler with a focus on trout, pike, bass, walleye as well as carp- in gta and northern Ontario. I joined this forum to meet like minded enthusiasts to share stories and learn about possibilities to join on fishing adventures. I look forward to meeting you and reading your stories.

I wouldn't be going to Cuba right now....Given the political situation, things are about to get much worse..

Cayo Coco is not a fishing paradise. As I remember this island there is a settlement which some of the other islands don't have. There are fish but remember that there is a lack of protein in Cuba so even on isolated tourist islands Cubans do everything they can to catch and keep fish. Cubans often are fishing crazy and very friendly. Try to hook up with them, they can be very helpful.

Only when I fish HH

Wow! That is awesome!

I want to trade / sell my Clam C-360 Thermal Ice Fishing Shelter for a smaller and lighter portable hut that is in like new condition. I find this hut too heavy for me to pull on my sleigh, and since the wife doesn't want to go anymore, it's larger than what I need. 72x72 inches, center height 82", weight 36 lbs Paid $599 + tax, last year. Asking $350. Looking for a 60*60*76.2in

You don't pay Ontario taxes? 😉

Updated my card for 2026 last week. The last time I will have to pay to fish! HH

I'm 3 years away from my old age card. I don't celebrate birthdays anymore. I celebrate 1 year closer to retirement.

Mine just came in the mail.

My veterans card and my old age is my card

My disability parking pass is my outdoors card.

Hope you had a good one Barry. 🎅

My son is down visiting and would like to get out ice fishing, he has all his own gear and once Simco is good we'll go out with Tim Hales but in the mean time he would like to get out for other species. He didn't bring his Argo down so he will be walking. I was thinking Scugog for some crappie but have no idea where to start. If anyone would be kind enough to message me some information or if you want some company that would be very much appreciated. He is 55, in good shape, not afraid to do his share and loves to fish. He lives in French River and might be able to reciprocate in kind this summer, he fishes all kinds of back woods lakes for bass, walleye, pike.
