  5. Hey guys, Well the weather up here in the Soo has been terrible. Good for my job but bad for what counts....Fishing....But we have been toughing the weather out. Can you believe last week I was wearing my insulated guidewear bibs.... Last week I was out for meat actually. It is not a regular thing for me but I need to restock my smoked whitefish stash. Fishing micro tear drops tipped with shad flies has been dynamite but waxies are taking fish also. I dont have any action shots from the 2 evenings I went but i do have pics of two hauls. this is from the second night I was out.... Now they are currently at the butchers being smoked. Then I was out for a few passes in the St Marys for Atlantics. Nothing spectacular for us that night but we did manage one at about 10 pm. Small salmon and we did box this fish as my auntie loves salmon and I had promised her a meal. This Sat and Sun we had planned on going out to Whiskey Bay on St Joes Island for the annual cisco run but the ride over to the hole is a few miles through open water and we didnt feel comfortable heading out in the conditions (30km winds) in only a 16.5 boat. So we decided to chase smallies around in the area that is protected somewhat with the hope of a big pike crossing our path. Well the big pike never came....A few pike 2-3 pounds were caught but nothing picture worthy.The small mouth were not cooperating as much as we had anticipated but we did manage a bunch of smaller ones off the usual rock piles we fish. A few smallies were coming in at this size but most of them were smaller. Then the weirdest thing ever. Dragging my tube as usual doing my thing and I notice we drift off the rocks we are fishing into weeds and low and behold bang fish on. I set the hook hard and instantly I know this isnt a smallmouth and to my surprise I see a largemouth bass twisting and turning below the boat. I have caught largemouth in Southern Ontario but this is the first largemouth bass I have ever caught let alone seen in the Soo area. First Northen Ontario Largie So we decide to head back to the same area the next day. We had a lot better weather on sunday. So we launch the boat and go to the furthest rocky shoal we fish and setup for a drift down one side of it. So I cast in over the shoal bouncing my tube along bottom and my buddy casts over the weedbed that runs along the side of the shoal. He hooks into a solid fish, losses it at boat side but not before we see the fish and to our surprise another largemouth. Well I cast back into the area he hooked up with that fish and yup another northern largemouth. Anyways we fished the weed pattern and we ended up landing four largemouth on sunday and a bunch of smallmouth on the smaller side. A Few snot rockets mixed in but again nothing bigger than 3 pounds. My cousin who I usually fish with got up to the park for a quick visit to Mijinemungshing. He sent me over some pics so I thought I would share with you guys.... All fish were caught jigging tubes tipped with half of a smelt I believe..... Nothing big this past week or so...Been working hard for every bite but I hope that will soon change. Anyways I might go for whities one more night and do another small batch of smoked fish but I hope to get out for some walleyes again soon.... As Dr. S has mentioned the atlantics are on downtown and those to might get more attention in the coming week or so..... Take care, TDunn

  9. Nice fish man but Dara is correct....High mercury levels in rock and surrounding lakes I believe.....I think it is a result from a mining but I could be wrong..The fish consumption guide explains it better but i can not find a copy here.....Hope this helps TDunn

  16. Hey guys, Hit up my favorite pike lake the other day for a late afternoon/ evening fish east of Sault Ste. Marie. Not a sole on the lake like usual and we landed quiet a few fish. The pike were taken on large Williams Woblers, #14 Husky Jerks and the very long and slender FL #18 (floating) Rapalas. Fish were very healthy looking as they usually are from this lake... The best fish of the day....... We have also been targeting walleyes the past few days pretty heavily. Fished hard and looked for big fish in 12-18 feet of water. Generally the fish that have been landed are coming in around the 21-23" range. Looking for the most part like this... Until this hog hit...... Love to see these hogs swim away......... Also have been putting a licking on the Spring Kings out in Superior.....but I dont have any pics so i wont get into that..... Take care, TDunn
  17. Awesome....looks like you guys had a blast.... Its great to see professionals putting forth time and effort towards tagging fish and displaying your true passion for the future of the sport... Thanks Justin for the report TDunn
  18. Thought a few of you would be interested.......Take a look....there has been some activity lately..... Atlantic ARL Fishcam TDunn
  19. Awesome man, i love mijin....Is that the first big island on the lake in the first pic? near the entry to the north arm? Hard fighting trout in those waters....looks like it was a blast...I wonder how big those 4 brookies were from Maquon. Thanks for the pics..... TDunn
