Musky or Specks

LOL we use to portage two for a week into algonquinn on Manitou Lake. Funny thing was our former Foorball coach and Gym teacher knew this and had a school leadership coarse up there at the same time (first week of May) Without fail he use to visit every day to enjoy our hospitality. We didnt mind one bit though he was the one who introduced us to the park. RIP Ray.

Nice trip

The place to camp when I was young was The Hideaway Just outside of Sauble and they had a great drinking policy on the longweekends--as much as you can. Great times!!

LOL My son when he was little use to refer to fishing in that area as going to the jungle like "Dad are we going to fish the jungle today" If you think it looks bad now you should see it once the green starts blooming.

No but they will strike out of aggresion, another example heres a nice salmon from a labour day weekend on a buckertail

Steelhead will strike just about anything heres my proof a beautiful fresh fish caught on a 8" rouser while musky fishing

I think Im going to do the orange lights on my boat as well thanks for the great idea.

Nice fish wish you had a photno of the brown they are very pretty. FYI- Opercular Malformation is a pretty good sign that youve caught a hatchery raised fish its a pretty common thing caused bythe stress of the hatchery runs. Next time you catch a fish with part of its gill missing check for fin clips to confirm that it is a stocked steelhead.

No ones mentioned it but I like to run spinner baits through pads and let them helicopter down into the holes. I also like to helicopter them on weed edges and around dock pilings.

It all depends on the situation but my number 1 bait for largies would be a jignpig BlackSkirt with purple pork crayfish. For smallmouth I prefer Yamamoto grubs watermelon pepper split shot rigged with a do nothing retrieve.

I found the same thing when I was in Halifax but when I got up Antigonish/Stellarton way it was great. And so was PEI anglers and people in general were very helpful. But then again so were they in Labrador. I think its just an out east thing.

Glad the kids had a good time

Thanks for that tip so Wynn was open last fall then correct, on the three year cycle.

Snyders Flats Ponds out in Bloomingdale.

Ive only ever gone to the Pic and thats for MCI Hamilton chapters Pig Out. You can access the French pretty easy from the Pickeral. Theres a lot of water to fish so be prepared to spend some time searching.

I know from my days doing work for the RAP program that Collingwood harbour is full of carp try off the mouth of Black Ash Creek

Rent a boat and I can help you with Restoule but shore fishing?? Also Esker lakes has Aurora Trout after the 1st of August but again from shore I dont know? Im not a shore fisherman so I dont really know how to help. Im sure at the town docks at Restoule you should be able to catch something lots of perch in the lake.

Only ever caught the one figure it was a stray from the St Mary's where they stock hundreds of thousands of them and yes thats Gbay

If you can afford the boat you can afford the gas.

To bad you didnt have a little boat or canoe if the wind is co-operative Ive always had great luck fishing the Mary Ward Shoals just off of North Winds beach in Collingwood at this time of the year. Mixed bag of salmonids,bows,salmon, atlantic salmon, and splake/lakers.

Trash talking little Bob Izumi's gotta love it.

OMG IM HUNGRY

Heres a pic I think might help
