oh well will have to wait for the cats to come in

Wont be long for the big cats ...Derby is off for this weekend but ice fishing will still be open there is 14" of ice and I dont see that its going anywere fast ...the Ice Breaker can only go in the mouth of the river ...my thoughts are with the run off fish are going to turn on ....

Sorry Gang due to warm weather the derby is now canceled for Feb 19th 2011

Nice report thanks fishmaster. I've been to Dunville many time to vist family but never fished the big lake.

 

Can you steer me in a general direction of where your fishing? I'm heading down on Saturday for a birthday.

 

Question for you what's the story with the big catfish mount?

Thanks Tom

Thx for the report Steve. I will be down that was at least once this winter for smelts. You have any in your marina ?

Yes the smelts are in the Marina ...

Well the ice is in great shape 8 to 10" now running sleds and atvs on the ice ...this might be my last report unless we loose ice walleye are here and on the bite ...not many guys fishing this winter been quite out there by myself lol...

here is a fish from this morning 8:30am and also lots a hog ...

Well the snow did help add to the ice thickness all the snow turned into slush and is now ice ...if you walk on the snow cover small area you will find slush ...as allways fish with a freind and carry a spud ...today we found 6 to 10" pretty much from out front down past the point heading towards vics ...water is mint color and the current is perfect see ya on the ICE ...Fishmaster

Thats Funny Hats are In Only took them 4 months to get them ...Lots of guys come to Dunnville to my shop to Get there Hats cause they are here before Bow Season even starts in Oct ....I Handed out over 600 Hats this fall and winter and I have also been a Hats for Hides Depot for the last 7 Years ...Sexsmith was taken hides for over 3 months with no Hats IN STOCK lots of pissed off guys driven all the way there saying they would call when the Hats come in ...Hides kicking around that long are half rotten unless they are salted right or frozen ...If you dont wana wait for your Hats Head to Dunnville google my name you will find my website with all the Directions ....Fishmaster

I have never fished the Grand before. What area are you in Fishmaster? Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks a lot!

We are fishing bellow the dunnville dam about 1 mile down river ...Google Fishmaster im sure you will find me ...

Awesome report, THanks! Now lets just hope this warm weather and rain doesnt wash away all the ice this weekend....

I think we will be ok we have been on the ice for 2 weeks now with the last warm front we had for 4 days of straight rain it held in ...this will add a little more current and like that ...warm fronts turn on fish and I will be out

Guys the Walleye are here but its a weird bite ...put in your time move around day to day try new areas seems to be the drop offs from 9 to 14 fow ...I use a tiny buck shot on 1 rod with a big minnow dead stick other rod use a big buck shot or macho minnow jigs with 2 to 3 small shinners tipped on your 3 prong hook...work the bottom slow rise up about a 1ft pause wait 30 sec drop back to the bottom if you feel weight on the next rise set the hook ....they will hit on the drop or on the pause ...

Ice is 5 to 8" see ya out there Fishmaster

If you click on "fishmasters ice reports" below you will be able to watch the video taken today of ice conditions on the lower grand! December 16, 2010

Out last night as well but got the big skunk.

Fished from 70-80 feet and marked a massive amount of bait and hooks but nothing would go for us.

Guess we should have ventured further out.

 

Darren

The fish are deep and close to bottom ...water temp in 85 to 90 fow sufface 77.6 85 ft down 71.2 thats warm fish will stay in the coldest water they can find ...ill be fishing 100plus ft next week ...

way to go steve nice eyes

Were have you been fishing has been very good Corvette haven't seen ya around ...

What a beauty night on the lake nice breeze and Big Walleye 11.3 lbs 9.7lbs and 9.2 lber ...like allways the hogs come out for me after the derby...84 fow Walker Dipsys #102 back 189 on a 3 setting was hot ...small 45# walker dipsy back 400 coppers and perch colors were the ticket ..with a big dewy ...its nice when you can leave a lake were the action is no stop like Lake Ontario and come home to catching Big Walleye ...Get out off Port Maitland and enjoy this awesome Summer Fishing ...Fishmaster

hey troutguy i get my hands dirty alot . usually 5 weeks a year

 

grimace i have no hard feelings against the charter boats but what i have a hard problem with is targeting them when things are slow . like you said they fight hard and usually belly up . some are released succsessfully . a good fisherman knows what temp to find salmon in and when they go out to 300 feet of water and rip rainbows all day that is a differnent story

So what happens when your only 4 miles off shore in 130 fow and the bows are mixed in the same water as the kings are ...should i just go home tell the guys we can't fish cause there is bows in the lake lol...guess you don't know lake ont to well ...fishing has been far from slow best year ive seen since the 80s ... keep up the good work USA stock millions of bows and salmon so we can have fun and eat ....

26 fish just seems excessive to me.....but what do I know??

 

whats the eating guide for fish say about lake O now?? anyone know??

people thats not alot of fish ...gota remeber guys these people only fish once a year ...so i think 5 fish for a full year is not bad ....Lake Ontario fish are good to eat...

looks like its going to be a good year for Walleye ...all fish caught on small walker dipsys and 20 ft Trip-zs with Fishmaster Harness 68 fow...go gett'em

cant wait till the limit is 2 bows in lake ontario.. at the rate i see them comming out of the lake i can see why our rainbow run is going in the toilet 26 fish is a good kill for 5 guys...

There is only 5 Bows in this Picture the rest are kings and cohos ...I released lots Steelhead ...I dont think you will see a 2 fish limit and Lake Ont is a put and take fishery ...and im sure the river guys take more then these guys would ever take outa the lake fishing once a year ...

What a day on Lake Ontario yesterday fishing is very hot right now ...fished 130 to 180 fow 55ft and 105 ft on the riggers with Moonshine spoons and big dipsy with wire #2 setting 180 back with Spin Doctors and Flies ..had close to 50 hits landed 35 all King Bows & Coho's had 5 double headers and at one time we had 6 fish on at once ...all i can say is Wow what a day ...

100% Atlantic ...im sure they are fun on light tackle ...but if you fished them on the big water like Lake Ont they are a joke no fight ...even the lakers put up a way better battle ....

Im not a fan of leaky buckets and a bait that goes hard in the sun ...Live Bait for me works much better then the Gulp crap

good fishing steve, nice to see some bows showing too

i thought you had sold the Thompson?

Ended up keeping it but as said everything is for sale at the right price ...

nicely done steve!!

Thanks UF figured well I have the motor out mise well do lots of other work like all new wireing ect ect ...few little bugs left but back to fishing ...
