Way to go Steve! Great report and pics as usual. 20 fish in 3 hours is a great fishing outing by anyones standards!

Wow...great report and those urban hot spots need to be protected!!! Some great pictures out there...it's hard to believe the areas that hold fish in Toronto....thanks for the report!

I get to work yesterday morning, log into OFC as usual to see what's new on the board and up pops a private message. I open it up and it's from Basskicker...it says "Good morning Cliff, I realize it's VERY short notice, but I'm leaving at 5:30 P.M today.....so if you can meet me at my place...your more the welcome." A quick call home to make sure we didn't have plans for the evening and it was all set! It took me about 2 seconds to take him up on the offer!! I checked the weather forecast for the area we fished and it said "Zero percent chance of rain", so the evening would be great! Anyways, I left the office early so I could be at his place on time. We arrived at the boat launch in the Kawarthas and we were in the water by 630. The conditions were amazing. Light breeze, calm waters, air temp was about 80F and water temp hovered around 75F. Because it was sunny and hot out, we decided to fish for bass hugging the shoreline and flipping our senkos under docks and overhanging trees. These were not ordinary senkos...we were using the ones that Basskicker makes himself...in his garage and let me tell you, they didn't let us down!!!! Shortly after we launched, Basskicker brings in two in under 10 minutes! I then boated 3...including my new personal best...by 1/2 of an inch...LOL My PB 18.5 inch largie...probably around 2.5 pounds or so....another team 6 entry! Basskicker then finished our catching with these nice ones.... Basskicker had a few other smaller ones we didn't take pictures of and I had a few sunfish that attacked the senkos. All the fish above were caught in under 2 hours. As the sun set, the bite seemed to turn off a bit as the fish left the shade of the docks to roam the lake. We planned on heading off to a few nice spots he knows of hoping for some top water action once it was dark. We arrive at the first spot...change up to some spinner baits and frogs and wouldn't you know it...dark clouds rolled in, the wind picked up and it started raining. So much for the 0% chance of rain!!!! We decided to pack it in and had the boat back on the trailer by just after 10pm. On the way back to the launch, I turn my head to look at the clouds rolling in and my OFC hat goes flying!!! Oh well...bly has one she doesn't wear that she graciously gave me once I got home...haha. I had an amazing time out there, thanks a lot for the great evening Basskicker. Including the ones we didn't take pictures of, we boated about 10 fish in the first few hours. Couldn't ask for a better fishing partner...Basskicker is a great guy...almost every dock we arrived at he said "Go ahead...you get first cast". He did warn me on the way up that if he got skunked, we'd never fish again, so I'm glad he got into a few first thing....LOL.

Wow...that's quite a collection of toothy guys! Welcome to the board...you'll find it's the best one around! Looking forward to more of your reports.

Not sure if it's related, but my banner ad has re-appeared!

Have a great trip!!! Hope you hook into all kinds of monsters while vacationing up here. Safe driving...want to see lots of pics upon your return.

Great day out on the water! Some real nice bass there. Pics turned out great too!

Sorry...couldn't resist....hehe

Fantastic report Aaron. It's too bad really that you do this for a living...LOL. Great pics...esp the one of the tight squeeze in that creek!

LOL...that is too funny. Happy belated birthday!!!

Ummm...will kids fit in it?? LOL

douG...we have a babysitter...our 15 year old daughter...problem is she wont be able to sit that night...we will make a few calls around. It's hard getting people on a Tuesday though... We'll do our best.

Great report and pics Aaron! I'll have to catch that episode for sure. Cant imagine hooking into one of those fish though. They sure do have SHARP teeth!! LOL.

Great report! Sorry to hear about the prop...hopefully the damage wasn't too bad. Dont all cameras make your fish smaller??? LOL. Thanks for the report...very well written!

Great report pikeie! Congrats on the new species as well. I've had a carp hit a small mepps spinner before, so I'm not surprised you got one. Looked like a great day out there!

500?? That's more fish than I've caught TOTAL!! LOL. Great trip and great pics. It's great you got to spend that time out there with your son...he must have had a great time!

Same here Gerritt...no go on the driftwood skin...all others seem to be ok though.

What a great report mepps! The great thing about the internet though is that just because you move, it doesn't mean we wont see you around here. Great pics in this report...congrats on the first and last muskie of the season. Good luck with the move...hope to see a report or two once you're set up on the east coast.

When bly is logged in the one in the top right corner appears, but when I log in they are not there.... Strange....

mine have disappeared too..hmm...I didn't enable an ad blocker...a pop up blocker yes, but not an ad blocker....

Good luck little angler! Have fun and be safe...looking forward to your report.

Wow...SWEET pics....love the scenery ones...esp the mist on the water. Great angle on the fish too!

TILLER!!!! Sorry...couldn't resist...haha.

LOL...I know Beans...just thought I'd play with you a bit...haha.

Double post...oops...
