Nice catch.....good to see another report from you dude

OOOOOOH....your such a bugger TJ....lol And just for the record Scott is Canadian...just lived in Scotland for a while. Convinced him to join....he is just waiting to be cleared or whatever and he will have a report of his own to post.

Ryan.......speechless....what a great report....love the blueberry shots....and nice to see avery sorting out the next generation. I am in awe of your multi species opener....what a fantastic day!

Seriously...stop already!

As a long time cat owner and new dog owner i find this remarkably accurate....lol

Hi all, kinda cool afternoon. Long story short...a month ago i get random message on youtube from a guy who seen my vids ....turns out he is re-locating to dryden from scotland. Last week a message he has arrived....this morning a message about going fishing...an hour later we are in the boat....no jokes about meeting men on the internet allowed! Anyway....Scott turns out to be super nice guy, rarely meet folks into fishing that are not good folk. Scott is an avid flyfisherman and was keen to give it a shot up here for bass and pike. He makes his own rods and christened his new one today with a few pike and bass(the cedar wood handle he crafted on his rod is a sight to be seen...KERWAAAALITEEEEEEY! Anyhoo, we set off from my lawn and headed to some of my bass stomping grounds. Not long before we found some fish....most coming out of 2-8'FOW....and i dont think one was under 18".....real fat bass today. Was cool to see a fly rod in action...and although the little homemade topwater poppers did not get hit...the silvery fly/bucktail things were snapped up aggresively. I had just a plain 1/4 oz jig and minnow. Anyway....Scott...if you read this....was a pleasure to meet ya...had a blast...you are welcome in my boat anytime dude <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DhBgvel5KbI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> SCOTT TIES ALL HIS OWN FLIES TOO! WAS NOT LONG BEFORE THE NEWLY MADE ROD WAS CHRISTENED ALL BIG FISH TODAY

nice catch Fang.....even nicer boat!!!!

Thanks Jacques.....sorry dude....finding it hard not to say 'Leechy'. I really gave myself a hard time for not being able to stick at the trolling till i found them....but i quit beating myself up after the first bass.....lol. My trout was skinny as a supermodel though...a bit like the one you got there the other day too, weird. Cheers Paul, you mention heaven....lol....well i aint quite there yet....hopefully thats where i am heading though...hehehe Thanks Mike, i think i am getting to the point where a go pro would be handy......its really hard to film all this stuff some days.

That was a good film....but i liked Darkstar better. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/luaRtGn2tsI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I agree with Jacques....sounds great. Fishing, supper, naps. AWESOME REORT...reminds me of a song ...."these are a few of my favourite things.........."

for crying out loud....would they just stop and let me catch up for a moment! I was looking into all this HD, DSI, Structure scan business....considering my options. Decided not to be limited to Lowrance....and to be quite honest a little dissappointed the way Lowrance seem to be going on a lot of their stuff, went to check out hummingbirds...to be greeted by something called 360 degree veiwing.....THATS IT....I AINT BUYING ANYTHING TILL NEXT YEAR WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO GET A VIRTUAL HOLOGRAM READING ANYWHERE IN THE BOAT OR THE INSIDE LENS OF MY POLARIZED SHADES

Great (if not a little chilly)opener mon ami! Whats with the skinny fish? anyhoo....enjoy supper.

Great addition to the family brian...cute pup for sure

Good stuff....nice fish...welcome to the board.

Emaciated more like....dunno what was up with that, never the less produced two lovely fillets, one for wife one for dad......Limey Jnr...not that keen on trout.

Certainly made my day. Great fun is smallies! I am counting on you to put a couple inches on our bass totals dude...i seen the bass you catch! I dont want to give anyone free advertising...but credit where dredit is due...its an awesome tool....dont let anyone tell you its a 'gimmick' or 'toy'.

Nope....line twited around it on the way in. Yeah.....was a tough morning till i decided to break for Bass. I think the way the shoal was located/wind direction made a perfect ambush point. Yeah...i am lucky to have a year round bass season JB...not complaining one bit.

i am pretty sure I have some....dont really need em...PM me yourr address and they are yours.

was in a good mood already this morning....that helped prolong my good mood.....thnx!

Hi all, Me again...lol. Went out for some lakers today. With the water temps hovering just above 40 degrees F i spent the first hour and a half trolling the shallows with a variety of rigs/jigs/spoons and hardbaits.....with only a pike to show for it. I then spent another hour checking out deeper water with no reward. I decided to get some relief and targeted bass on a spot i know....they were there in numbers! Jig and minnow did the damage. They were in 14'FOW behind a windswept shaol. Man....the wind was relentless today......all i can say is that the I-pilot did its job flawlessly again....i really cant sing it's praises enough....i have not even used the track record feature....spot lock is like having a guide in the boat every trip....held me on the spot within feet of where i wanted for a whole hour in 25kmh head on winds!!! Battery was still at 80% when i got home. Best of all was i hooked into a trout casting a jig and minnow for bass in 12'FOW...supper accomplished too! Great little session, bleedin' freezin'....did not get much above 4 Degrees C. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AXj153pKM7g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Great report! Gotta hand it to ya...i cant buy a crappie until the water hits spawning temps.

and i got a stupid Blackberry for my birthday. What a piece of poo...does not seem to support any mainstream apps.

GOBSMACKED! The pinemartin and seagull are my faves.

Hi all, finished my 2 night shifts and wanted nothing more than a few hours in the boat before attending to boring stuff. Jack was not about to let me go without a ride around the bay first. Got the rest of the crew to shore and headed out around 10:30am for some bass, pike and crappie............ <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yY_lczVg8pE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Still no crappie, and not really the will, energy or time to go looking, water temps were creeping into the mid 40s. Bass were in really shallow, not more than 5'FOW and in as little as 18". Pike were all fairly deep, upto 22'FOW, but nothing big. I did see one strike at a twister tail i tried just after seeing the snapping turtle...but failed to connect properly....looked much bigger...perhaps 35" or so. That turtle was big, feet on it were huge, about the same diameter as a small dinner plate! Headed into town and did a few chores.....knew it was gonna be a good day when the guy who swaps my winter/summer tires over says...."dont worry about it Si.....no charge".....awesome! By the time i got home i was ready to drop, but Jack had seen the boat moored at the bottom of the lawn and wanted to go! So we had supper, said goodbye to mum who was doing nights too, packed some snacks and drove the long way (avoiding sceptic field) to the lake down the lawn. At one point we had a discussion about best jigging techniques....Jack thought i should not be using a slip bobber but a 'Cars' rod like his with a jig. About 2 minutes later he was reeling in the only fish of the evening to prove his point about tackle selection and technique! Fantastic...a month past his 3rd birthday and outfishing the old man already!!! I am a little bit proud of the little fella. Fish was out of season so quick release performed ...there will be other photo opportunities. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qP463kJP6g0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> We finished the evening with many discussions about seaguls, beaver sticks and 'quiet motors' (Jack's term for the Minn Kota). Was a beautiful still night Jack got to sit with dad as we drove up the hill with the boat, and was a great help refreshing the minnows in the bucket....although he got a little wet doing it. OH YEAH....THE MOZZIES MADE THEIR DEBUT APPEARANCE.......DOH......LOL.
