Reminder if you are fishing lake Nipissing, check the exceptions section as it differs from general regulations.

Trolling a floating rapala 10 - 20 feet from shoreline west of Jacob island early morning evening and especially after dark has always worked for us.

Good Luck

Thanks for the reply BillM. Fishing for me the last 25 years has been almost exclusively on Nipissing - just love that lake. But suddenly  I really have an urge to relive the great times and locations 

of the past. Been retired 2 years now and with time at hand, it's amazing how the mind can transport you with great detail and clarity to old milestones and events. 

Always did well there fishing in the ninety's. PB pike 45" and no shortage of walleye  - they loved floating rapalas in the evening. Have not fished the area since our multiple trips back then.

Any fishing reports from the general area? wondering if it's worth a venture.

Thanks.

Our go to is the south shore of lake Nipissing. For us a never fail for walleye, pike, perch and SM. Plenty of inner islands in South Bay providing shelter from the winds if the big lake is blowing.

The change in walleye slot size has helped.

Tom Rae Lodge

Promised Land Camp

Visited GBFC throughout the nineties, usually a spring and a summer trip. Big Dave was a great host. As mentioned not the best location to take the spouse: central showers, cleanliness and boardwalk always needed improving but a good guys trip. on more than one occasion put my foot through a decayed walkway board. Loved the pick up and ride in from the Key river through the narrow passageway at high speed. Monster pike in the spring still fishing with live sucker minnows. Found Walleye in the outer bays narrow always good especially in the evening. Loved the steel hull boats. Dave used to say there's no way you're not going to hit a rock - he was right. Can't remember the lady's name at the lodge. Doris or Dorothy? She would cook up the walleye.

Found out of the demise of the camp through a vendor at the sportsman show. All he said was that circumstances to the decline was a sad story.

Fond memories an good times I will always cherish.
