August 2008 E-Magazine Wake Up Some Bass By Justin Hoffman Wake baits are taking the bass movement by storm, and for good reason. These tantalizing cranks give new meaning to the term "topwatering," and provide a niche factor for garnering strikes when other baits fail to make the grade. Come and uncover the wake craze - its one bait worth doing a background check on. Spinnerbaits Tricks for Largemouth By Tim Allard Spinnerbaits put plenty of largies in my boat each season. A tried-and-true lure, they sometime produce catches for me on days when nothing else delivers. Much has been written about using these baits, in this piece I want to share four of my best spinnerbait strategies for landing more bucketmouths. Have a good read!!!

Welcome!

Great Report Garry.. thanks! Nice to see you do well!

Thats just wrong...

Yes, ditto... thanks for being part of our community!

Great Report Terry, nice pickerel.. man I wish I could find them that big. Cory and Heather stopped in on thier way home, it was good to see them again.

Awesome Report !! Glad ya got a bit of a break! I worked on LOTW for a summer when I was 20, those pictures bring back alot of memories... especially the pelicans. If im not mistaken, lotw is the worlds largest summer nesting grounds for pelicans, at least i was told that somewhere along the line.

My wife wears frog toggs... cheap and she loves them... and yes... i am very sick if the rain up here...

SUPER CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!

Im not sure about the lagoons, the charter was 250 1/2 day 500 full day.. you can bring 4 people to make it affordable.. and yes you can walk way down the beach!

We stayed at the melia santa maria the first time we went which is the sister resort to the sol.. we took the 1/2 charter from the resort.. caught a few (5) barracuda, but had such a good time we booked the next day for another 1/2 day. WE dint try anyt fishing right at the resort so i dont know about that.. but we did have a blast on the boat... when are ya leaving??

Good luck hh... hopefully we can bump into each other...

Nice vid cliff.

Hmmm I recognize some of those good ole boys.......

Go percher go!

LOL.. that was pretty cute..... by the way Monique got her first moose tag yesterday!

Thanks everyone... (except you Victor.. lol ) we're going back up with some friends in a week or so.. hope to get on at least one of those lakes...

It eats minnows.... uhhgg..

LOL.. ya hes getting furry... hey HH how long are you at Golden Eagle???

Joey... I believe your right... a google image search confirmed that!! They are nasty!!! http://images.google.ca/images?q=helgremite

Avery and I managed to get up to Jiggy for the long weekend... it rained a bit the one day, but otherwise the weather was always better than they were predicting (buzz kills...) On the way in we stopped and saw Oxcowboy and his buds at Golden Eagle, didn't know that Wendel was there or I would have searched him out as well! After we got camp set up, Avery and I headed out on the river, where the pace of the weekend was quickly set with him catching all that nights dinner..... a sign of things to come... You can see his SEG (*&%$ eating grin... get bigger and bigger as the weekend progresses... lol) We managed to get a small flock of black ducks to come in... not as friendly as the ones we had last year, but we still did managed to bribe them with enough bread to get them up on the dock... We have a couple of minnow traps at a beaver pond on the way in and last time we were up there was a TON of tadpoles in the water... well there must be no predators in that pond cause this time when we looked they had all come out of the water, it was incredible!! It was a sight Id never seen before... <object width="425" height="349"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="349"></embed></object> This was also something I'd never seen before..a pretty disgusting insect.. it was about 4 inches long... and was attacking the little frogs.. squirming around in them and biting them with its mandibles... Anyone know what it is??? It was like an armoured centipede.. with less legs... Thousands of frogs in different stages of evolution. The next day Avery and I packed up our new to us 12 footer and went back to a lake we know... the one where Monique caught her big perch... he was casting to shore .. it was a Jumla only day for him... I was jigging with some nice minnows to see if there was any pickerel in the lake. I'm pretty sure I missed a big one, the bite felt right, and while I poked around like that, Avery whooped my butt with the Jumla... see the grin get bigger and bigger... Apparently outfishing me wore him right out... so the next day when I asked him what he wanted to do, he wanted to go exploring on the ATV, which was fine with me, I had 4 lakes I wanted to check out to see if they were accessible and if we could get the boat in.. so off we went, putting about 110 km on the bike, we brought lunch and had a great day! In an old clear cut you could see where a bear had walked up the side of a sand dune, i though the tracks made a nice picture... Someones had a bad day.... The end of one cut trail... a spectacular view of the surrounding area... One access to a very large lake... no other access points and no traffic at this spot.. I bet no ones fished it for years.... Till the next time I get in there... Also when we got back.. there was a couple of Beers at the door at Jiggy, apparently some transient with a float plane dropped by to say hi... and of course picked the day we were out gallivanting around... thanks for the Beers IrishField!! Next time let me know when your coming!! After delighting in the fact that Avery was supplying the fish for dinner, he then proceeded to takle 5 bucks from me playing crib as well.... geezz rub salt into my wounds... I think the young padawan is starting to teach the teacher.... The next morning this bold visitor was hopping around camp... It also seemed that there were alot more Terns ( I think that's what this is) as well as an over abundance of woodcocks along the trails... more than normal... Ive also been looking for something we could pull behind my 15hp so the kids can do some water sports in the afternoons while there, so they dont get over board with the ole man wanting to fish all the time... we splurged and bought an O'brien Jimmy Jam board, and hoped the boat would pull it - and yes it did!! <object width="425" height="349"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="349"></embed></object> All in all it was a great weekend!! Now back to work to wait for the next trip up in Mid August.

Great report Cliff, glad ya got out... the wee one is out fishing ya all!!
