Wow Mike!!!!!! This may be my favourite report of the year! Your kids are growing fast...Riley has changed a lot since I saw her last. Great to see them both having such a great time. Say hi to your dad from me too!

Great picture! How long ago was that?

Very interesting about keeping it still in shallow water! Will try that for sure. Like I said, I just read what was on the package lol.

Well done and happy belated birthday!

The suicks I bought have a picture on the back of the package that shows how to use it. I cast it out there, and with long backward motions, pull it forward. This causes it to dive. When you pause the lure starts to rise. I try and reel and keep the line as taut as possible as I swing the rod back to the front and I repeat. A few I have caught have hit it on the pause, so it's important there isn't too much slack in the line. I've had muskie take it from behind as well as torpedo it from the side. I cant figure out how to make it dive deep, so I generally use it in under 10 feet of water. I have trolled with it as well with the same motions, but haven't had luck that way yet. I'm sure there are other ways to use it...maybe others can chime in here...

My first was smaller too...the good thing here is that you have an excellent chance at beating that PB many times now! Congrats by the way!

Whoa! Those were some big walleye there! Looked like an awesome time...and you were dialed into the fish!

Nice going Mike! Looked like a great time up there!

Great report and pics here! That sturgeon shot is pretty cool...would love to tangle with one of those one day out west!

Had a great time Geoff! It was great seeing the girls getting along so well together. Hopefully we can do that again soon! Nice meeting you Will!

I never complain about how hot the weather gets in the summertime. All winter long I dream of these hot days of summer! A week ago, Fishnsled and I had a few hours to kill, so we headed to Rice Lake to see what we could stir from the waters. The target of the day was bass and walleye. The morning started out with a flurry, but as the heat from the day crept in, the bite got tougher and tougher. Will always seems to catch bass....a species historically I don't do well with! I never seem to be able to catch these guys on the Kawarthas, so this was a nice surprise! Thanks for the invite Will! Always a good time on the water with you! =============================== This past weekend, GBW invited my little on and I up to the cottage to spend the day. Our daughters met for the first time and they hit it off right away. They were inseparable all day long! We first took our little ones out on the water to see if we could catch some fish. The only ones to catch were GBW with a bass...and my little one with a perch! GBW said something about a "hot spot", but I'm having my doubts.... We only spent about an hour out there and the girls were getting hot and wanted to go swimming back at the cottage. In we went to a nice lunch and they wasted no time in cooling off in the lake. They were in the water for pretty much the entire afternoon. After lunch, Young One finally arrived and the three of us hit the water again since the kids were clearly busy! It was hot out there, but we managed a few fish! Thanks GBW for the invite to the cottage...we had a great time!

Gotta love how this board brings people together! A 42" first muskie is a great fish! Something you won't ever forget I'm sure.

Great first report! You did well out there I'd say! Looking forward to many more from you.

I could feel the excitement in every word Cliff! Amazing report with amazing people. Congrats to all of you on a great day.

Looked like a great night! Can't complain about targeting bass and catching huge perch like that!

Great report! Love that sunset pic too!

Nice work guys! Lots of memories in the making at Jiggy!

Happy birthday! Hope you have the best day!

You know it's been hot when you step outside in 29C weather and it feels cooler than what we have been exposed to lately! Thursday though...38C without the humidity...upper 40s with...yikes!

I'm all for AC!! When can I come and visit?? LOL

Lol...that's awesome!

Wow! Long written report isn't necessary here...the pics tell the story quite well! Amazing report!

Another great report! I know how you feel too...went fishing this past weekend for bass and caught 2 walleye lol

Loved the walk down memory lane and the pictures are awesome! Great report!

Sounded like a great day on the water!! Multi species, multi fish and multi good times. Good job you two!
