Strong offshore winds and recent rain have triggered the bruisers back home for their voyage upstream. All fish were taken shallow, most on black/green or black/orange rac's. Some fish are already turning black as night, while a couple were still just about chrome.

The old man had the hot stick for the first 3...

Then I started catching up... The high mark was about 23 or 24.

Managed this nice teenager on a big orange x-rap. He lunged clear out of the water about 5 feet from the boat.

Hopefully one or two more cracks at these fish are in the books before it's too late...then it's fall musky and smallies. Tight lines.

Legal or not, it's clearly the best way to dispose of them as far as I'm concerned.

Restoule is a good suggestion. Bon Echo PP would also be a great destination.

i see you're ignoring the countless other pics of my beautiful catches

Good fishin with ya bud. We'll get into some trout this fall.

It's been a serious issue along Callander bay and the North Bay shoreline for many years now, so this isn't really surprising.

boil water advisory = drink beer advisory

"It's the safe choice, dear"

XL and Suffix are all I use for probably 90% of my fishing applications, and haven't had much to complain about with good braid like powerpro whenever I use it, which isnt much.

I shoulda got into marketing...

Check out their On through the Night album, which I believe might have been their first when they came across the pond, I believe Rick Allen(drummer) was 15 or 16 at the time, and I was in high school grade 9 to be exact and im 48 now to give you an idea of the time frame. It was more heavier then their made for the public sound of recent

On Through The Night is far and away their best stuff!

Not sure I've ever been so immersed in a fishing report as I was with that one. Fantastic!

Lost probes always suck, but that's a hell of a fish. Only one tyee for myself as well.

Good to see ya supporting Tightline. used to work there myself not long ago.

Don't get frustrated. Mid-summer + , well, they're Aurora's. Probably among the most elusive freshwater fish on the planet. I'd suggest trying your hand with specks and lakers and getting familiar with them before trying to get those stupid auroras. I know south of Haileybury there's a bunch of lakes stocked with various trout.

Excellent photos. Waxwings are beautiful birds. Never noticed the red markings on their wings before.

Good call on the classic Soundgarden track

The Velvet Underground - All Tomorrow's Parties

Nice lakers dude! You got those babies dialed in year round it seems.

So long as you're in the bush, I wouldn't think twice about it. Trigger locks might be a good idea.

Seems like a reasonable punishment to me....I know I'd be hesistant to violate any of the regs after that if I were in their shoes.

As for publicity, it's tough to preach the importance of such things to most.

Wow, That's very cool. That last fish has to be at least 5 pounds. Watching this got me thinking about a type of bird I see all the time on southern Georgian Bay. Can anyone help me out with identifying it? It basically looks like a seagull but it has a bright orange beak. The cool thing about this bird is the way it catches fish. The bird hovers over shallow water about 80 feet above the water until it spots its prey. Then all of a sudden it free falls straight down to the water making a huge splash and most of the time it comes up and fly's away with a pan fish. I love to watch these birds hunt on a sunny day while looking out over the bay with a cold one in my hand. It can be very entertaining.

Those would be terns. Very cool birds. They love the great lakes.

Can't believe they got the underwater shot. Awesome!

Fantastic report. Those cutty's look like an absolute blast!

Way overpriced, but I'm sure they'll make a killing off of it for many years to come. I'd love to try it.

Definitely a coho. Easiest way to tell for me (aside from the green back) is the black tongue, but the rest of the mouth is usually white.

Awesome fish btw!

I kept a couple out of Nip this spring...Pan fried and battered, they're on par with walleye and perch as far as I'm concerned. Excellent eating fish.

I happen to love haberdashery, thank you very much...

Those Simcoe brutes are massive. Excellent fishing

Awesome mixed bag of fish

They better clean up while they can. They've got about a month before SAIL opens their doors, right on the other side of the 401.
