Awesome report! Can't wait for the drakes

Oh ya, chain pickerel are another great option as well!

Theres lots of creeks with brookies, especially in cape breton, if you find a cold creek chances are it has trout. If you want to spend a day on the beach, enjoying the highest tides in the world while catching stripers from shore, then the grand pre beach gets my vote. The water is only fishable about 6 hours a day since the tides are so drastic, but while you're waiting you can play in the mud, search for crabs, watch the sandpipers, and have a great slice of pie from the evangeline restaurant! It's about an hour and a half drive north of halifax, just next to the town of wolfville, if you decide to go let me know and I'll give you a few tips

I'm working on some outriggers right now, I'll post some pics once I get it all figured out

Great report! Might that have been, "the lake"?

The bigger baits might be a sign of targeting musky but I get some really brave pike following my lures, when I'm throwing lures for pike I always figure 8

Did you get the lic #?

Why anyone hates these beautiful fish is beyond me, here's my new PB from the weekend, 33"

Hmm, maybe the TO islands?

Good to have you back!

I'd say that looks more like a #14, the smallest I've tried is #24, but the nice thing about small hooks is the patterns only get simpler

1,2,3,4,5,7,8 are probably your best bird shots yet! Keep at it!

Nice! My favourite is definitely the cross in the fence, great framing on it, if that one pesky red flower on the right wasn't there it would be perfect!

Graham Bristow also has my vote, he is primarily a river guide (he took me steelheading) but he's supposed to also run a good musky program on G bay.

Tauro is a cool guy, never had the chance to get out with him, but we have talked in the past and he's a good guy.

Wow Brad, sure isn't what I wanted to hear this morning. Hope all goes well and you can get out again soon.

Didn't feel it, but I always miss them

Nice! Love that hot tub idea!

Dalrymple has them, I know the pike population is strong but I'm not sure how good it is for the eyes.

cool, too bad it never took off.

LMAO! Must've been a cool sight, but how comfortable is she letting her snack outside now?

They aren't essential, but I've found a couple spots on the big canal where you can go out a little ways in them. In most cases though you can cast clear across the canals. Good luck!

It's your rod, if he isn't willing to show you his work I'd pass on him

Well let's hope Boston takes it all so we can hold our heads high...

Lol, you're right, that's just who I've noticed.
