A buddy of mine throws candy when it's called for and he does extremely well doing it. I don't even bother to compare numbers at the end of the day. Luckily for me he does it in my presence also so I get to benefit for it. It's a combination of things really, but if the conditions call for it, it works...

So I'm guessing browns for the first two pics?

Cast the estuary water (slow frogwater river mouths) with J13's, spoons etc.. If you want to float fish, giant chunks of skein on big single or even treble hooks (Trebles work great for keeping the skein on)... If the fish are on, you'll get bit using both methods.. If they aren't, you won't catch much of anything...

The fish has a choice to eat my J13, it doesn't have a choice when it swims by and gets caught up in your 30 meters of mono

Huh? I don't have an issue with fishing the river. If I want to catch chinnies, I'll toss J13's or float big hunks of skein in the frog water (Which I've been very successfull this year at doing FYI) Keep telling yourself it's not unethical to float marshmellows above a 3 way rig with 30 meters of line strung across the river. And you are comparing this with casting or floatfishing? LOL!!!!! I'm happy most of you guys are gone once the bad weather gets here so I can steelhead fish in peace..

lol!!! I see we share the same amount of stubbornness

Who said anything about the summer? If you say the Gbay chinook fishery is dead, then I guess it must be. I'll keep on wasting my time.

I'm not talking Owen Sound, but by all means keep fishing Lake O, the less pressure up here the better

You should start fishing different places.

Go to any pier this time of year, that's exactly how people floss fish It's not the marshmellow that gets them initially, it's the 30 meters or so of line you've got strung across the river they run into.

Guys who use marshmellows are usually flossing fish, whether they are doing it intentionally or not.. Chinooks also don't 'suck in' giant chunks of skein, because for the most part the skein is fished vertically under a float, a marshmellow not so much... Also, when people almost get their arms ripped off by salmon hits, you're usually racking the lure across their backs and are feeling a quick snap of their tail... I've have them bust off 10lb braid like this with ease... Salmon fishing at it's finest!!!

Nice pics Joey, I'm assuming you are using a kit lens?

I was out with the MNR 2-3 years ago helping them net muskies on Little Lake and Gloucester Pool in order to use the eggs for the Lake Simcoe Muskie restoration project. Let's hope they are making some headway...

I use both.. Early season it's the manual auger, mid/late season when I'm driving the truck out 8-9 miles it's the power auger.

The MNR is working on it

So what colour marshmellows were working for you guys? Steel season is almost here!!!

Marshmellows, a fav by many these past week, lol.

I'm assuming he didn't set the time/date on the camera

My parents had a trailer in Holiday, FL (About 45mins north of Tampa)... Monthly fees I think for their place were around $300 a month.. Fantastic fishing as well, my oldman and I would go out to HoneyMoon Island State Park and catch all kinds of fish (whitings, pomps, sea trout, ladyfish, spanish mackerel, etc).. Also if you like baseball, Dunedin is the place the Jays call home for the winter. They also checked out Panama city last year.. The accommodations were great, but the fishing was less then par...nice beaches though, lol...

Want a great AS and Winter in one? Nokian WR.. It's better then half the snows on the market.

I'm using a custom 1pc 7ft Rainshadow XST 423 10-17lb for senko's and jigging. No problems pulling the cows out of the slop with that thing. Tip is also soft enough to feel the smallies pick up the tubes.. Some rods can pull double duty without issue.

The memory card will still be fine, the camera most likely not.

Chris, next time you need someone to fish with little notice, let me know

Wait, I thought the report was supposed to come AFTER the trip? Goodluck boys!

Charters out in Lake O already do this... The MNR doesn't give a crap.
