you will find males this time of year in 2 fow but ive consistently hooked into 40+ inch fish every spring on the may 2-4 by sitting on a bay edge in a channel, casting out into the channel letting my lure hit bottom and then running the bait right back up into the 5 fow in the bay. Has literally worked for me every year.

lots of folks were fishing out of pleasant cove resort in PAB this weekend...although the resort doesnt tell them that the best fishing is in june not the opener in may...water needs a bit of time to warm up still.

ugh i know! although we did nowhere near as well as we wanted to perhaps thats why the lack of motivation lol. Soon!

subban anyone? and didnt cujo literally pay for an entire cancer ward at sick kids as well? hell...phil kessel on his day with the cup came back to toronto sick kids and chose to spend the day with the stanley cup at the hospital!

rule of thumb, never tie a palomar knot with flurocarbon or mono...especially anything light, it burns the line when it cinches. Only time im using a palomar with mono or fluro is when im using stand up drop shot hooks otherwise stick to something else. Palomar is the best knot bar none for braid though. Ive literally just started using the uni knot for any standard knot applications...easy as hell to tie even with cold hands and hasnt come unspooled yet. Was tying the improved cinch for years and the number of times it failed on me is upsetting. Dave that info graphic is hilarious.

snuck some casting in off of the dock this weekend, weather was pretty beauty yesterday...no takers though...couple more weeks and things will be a bit better. Once that water temperature gets above the low 40's

im a georgian bay guy, dont mess around with the open water...just stay the hell off of it. Its totally normal to have 10 footers on what you think is a calm day. Ive ventured out into the open water in my 14 foot tinner, but that was on days I had a guarantee that the wind was "light" aka less than 5kmh If you are new to the area, you wont be able to read the lake well enough to tell if you can venture out. The last thing you will want is to make the run in the morning while its calm only to have the wind pick up to 15kmh in the afternoon and now you are trying to make it back to waubesheen in 6 foot rollers..its just not worth it, especially for pike. As a rule we dont go out there without perfect conditions unless we are in the 26 foot boat...that should put some perspective for you. Swimbaits off of weed edges dropping deep...dont even be scared to try spoons...no need to go with big gear in the spring, all my baits are 6" or under this time of year. Find shallow weedy bays and then fish their openings. Tight lines and good luck.

lmao watching lady dion snipe that goal last night was awesome too bad it was on andersson and not henrik

ive got a heck of a lot of work to do up at the lake in this weekend...Rain has never stopped me from fishing...but i wish it would stop me from having to do the work i gotta do lol Good goretex and some good layering...no big deal.

oh man, became a truck man myself last summer for the first time...i will never not own a truck again...only vehicle that you can call a vehicle as well as a tool...problem now is that I have too many friends that want my help lol

solid first post. I hope you find someone to fish with...ive been lucky enough to fish with a few members now and they have all been awesome people.

word to the wise, dont make your first post about asking if there is anything fishing related in a specific area. especially when it comes to eyes, muskies or other spot specific difficult to catch fish. welcome to the forums, hopefully this isnt your last post.

my experience is that every year when we open up the cover on the boat after being stored all winter there is always a smell. Im guessing its simply from the evaporation out of the tank that happens over the winter. the smell just gets trapped under the tarp.

May is just the beginning, first weekend in June is when its really fun. You literally cannot breath at sunset without something covering your nose or mouth. if you breath, you eat or snort bugs lol...and trust me I wish i was exaggerating...sadly I am not.

Jimmer is going to have to disguise his boat Capt...dont overlook upper buckhorn. weve been catching so many incidental eyes that if we were trying wed be laying a beating on them. Any time we use something that swims on a deeper weed edge looking for bass we are running into eyes.

rangers are back! im calling NY in 6 Ottawa has only had the lead for a total of 4 minutes through 3 games...smoke and mirrors.

yikes, we are due for a nasty storm on friday thats going to dump another 40mm of rain.

jesus thats a nice bow...i bet it was tasty as well! (if you kept it)

shes gonna be a buggy summer thats for damn sure...water is going to be sitting everywhere for the next long while. Time to stock up on muskol and buffs.

O is up 4 inches since the 20th of april. High water is never an issue! keep the rain coming, safe travels on Gbay

GBAY Pike lets hope for some warm weather this year

personal experience fishing pointe au baril in the spring the fish wont hit a minnow they only want worms...it the fall, the fish wont eat a worm all they want are minnows.

trust me ohio, if i could get some PAB fish to you I would. Shame you live down in ohio.

their selection is very limited. Cerka is without fail, but if you have a standard 5 bolt 4 1/4?th hub then canadian tire is your best bet by far. My hub was a 3.5 short hub so it had to be ordered from the states.
