That's one of the nicest pike I've seen reported this winter! What a HOG..... did she get it jigging or on tip-up? Thanks for the great report! Cheers, ben.

Looks like a real fun day out there boys. Good work.

I'd take a good wind over No wind fishing walleye. Doesn't matter so much the direction as long as you change with it. For the most part fish the windblown shorelines. The wind/wave action will stir up things on bottom and get all levels of the food chain going. Baitfish forrage on organisms stirred up off bottom and the walleye move in to feed as well. That's a good rule of thumb but at times you can and will find a decent 'off wind' bite, ie fishing the leeward side of a pt or island. Often times the wind creates a 'wrap around' effect or pushes a current around a pt./island. In short.... I don't care what direction the wind is blowing, as long as it IS blowing!

Hey Nauti, Don't think you'll find a true D-SLR with video. Check out the Nikon D40. Definitely the most bang for your buck in the DSLR market. Check out this review http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d40.htm

Nice report. Looks like a great time with your buddies.

Thanks All! Bernie, you should really try to get out!! Find 30 FOW and jig up some dinner!

Well we just got about a foot or more in the last 36 hrs up here. Light fluffy stuff though.

We fished in the hut most of the day since it kept producing fish and we'd just jump outside into the light for a quick pic. That's another thing about Idle Tyme.... awesome huts. Huge, comfortable and a nice wood stove to keep you warm.

Very nice! Glad to see ya got into some fish down there. Thanks for the report.

Hey Gang, Got out the south shore of Nipissing yesterday chasing walleye with my buddy Joe. We got a day hut through Idle Tyme Fishing camp and they were great hosts. Our hut was in 32 ft of water and produced fish throughout the day. We had a real peak in the fishing around 10 am and landed some nice fish. Jigging was king and set lines didn't produce, a real theme I've found on Nipissing this winter. Joe with a nice one just under the slot. A slot fish here for me shortly after. Joe got this slot fish on a dropper rig with just a minnow head on a small hook. Picked up a few perch as well and some good eater sized walleye. Did a quick release at the hole on another nice slot sized walleye right at the end of the day. Perch. Great day and a nice haul for a fry. If anyone is a photoshop wiz I'd really love it if the date could disappear off that last pic! (I could send you an original too!?!) With the snow storm up here today we hit Trout Lake for a few hrs since it's right in our back yard. We were looking for more walleye and picked a nice island piont and covered some water. Only caught a couple small OOS Lakers and lost a monster fish. This thing spooled me then broke my line! Something I'll never forget. Cheers, ben.

Nicely done Andy!!!

Perch are Legal for bait on the Great lakes, including Georgian Bay.

Looks good enough to market and sell Lew! Nice job. Cheers, ben.

I've warrantied St.Croix's and a Fenwick Techna AV and never sent in a receipt. The other bonus with Fenwick is that you send it to Manitoba, not the USA.

Sorry to hear that news Cliff. I know things probably feel real bad right now but be assured that things will get better. When one door closes, another opens. Good luck to you.

Techna AV is an awesome blank w/ a great warranty.

Would you have to be from Brampton?? If so, I'm out.

As a general rule, 4" of hard black ice is safe for walking on. 5" (min) is recommended for sleds/quads.

We got out for our first snowshoe of the season this week in North Bay this past week too TJ. Great way to get out and around in the winter.

Loved it! Thanks a lot.

Hey Rich, I go through a lot of phases with music where I'll listen to one genre for a few years, then switch. I have to admit, I haven't been through a metal phase. lol Almost everyting else though and I'm saving blues/jazz for when I'm old. hahaha.

I'm on a real americana/folk kick lately... Guy Clark Steve Earl Townes Van Zandt Ontario's own Fred J. Eaglesmith - my fav. Corb Lund Band is definitely underrated. They're great. Love the Hip! This saturday in Sudbury will be my 36th time seeing them live. I'm surprised to see how many ppl are into the Metal/hard stuff. Interesting. Whatever floats your boat.

That's an awesome pike man. Congrats on the great day.

You can walk on from the town beach in Callander. Walleye, pike, perch. You'll see the huts to give you an idea of where to set up. Leave your southern ontario bait in southern ontario!

Awesome post man!
