Hi all, Went to try for some bass and lakers in a small local lake, we had never fished this lake before so decided to try for bass first so we could at least work out the depths of the shoreline water as we cast our lines around and see if we could locate baitfish, suspended fish on the sonar. Well....we never got round to catching any trout, we did not even try actually, the bass fishing was so good from the 3rd cast onwards. We were both using gulp 3" minnows on a jig and landed well over 40 smallmouth in 3hrs, nothing over 18" but a blast none the less. ONE OF THE BESTEST DAYS BASSIN I'VE HAD ...EVER! <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

WELCOME TO THE BOARD Very nice pike pike Buckman

Good one Bruce...damn...wish i could find the crappie like you have so far. I also got out for 3 hours today, it was zero degrees C here with winds gusting to 45kmh....but like you say...beats sitting indoors! Nice pics....ty for posting.

Cool pics TJ.....nice bass and of course....OUCH!

Good to see ya out and about TBB, that sheepshead looks ok fried

Nice pics Vincenzo!

Awesome job, i've tried 3 times now and never landed one.

OMG...i can never post a nother bass report ever again...whats the point, you have shown what its all about and how its done excellent stuff MJ...those are pigs!

Shucks ...lol...but seriously...i would almost kill to get to do that!...all my favourite species from shore...love shore fishing for some reason...always have. I've only ever caught a few accidental whitefish from the boat...its just difficult to access the whitefish lakes in summer...winter you can skidoo to most lakes here..so to have a fishin' hole like that would be heaven, please go again and film it so i can drool and be slightly...lol...jeeeeeelous.

Wow...gluttony right there. i'd have a minnow trap in there like a shot! ( if its legal there of course )

Cool lokking fish...that dorsal fin looks like a tropical fish almost....great pics.

That there is the bestest days shore fishing i have ever seen....lol...absolutely amazing! LMAO at the 'pet laker' comment. Great report thanks for sharing.

20 to 30 carp in a day?!!! wow...dont let the Brits find out....lol...there will be an invasion! great report marko...great pics too.

We've been spoiled here JB.....almost forgot that usually the lakes are still frozen this time of year. HINT TAKEN MON AMI! Yup, was trying to ignore the frost bite the whole time.....lol....but yeah....weather will never stop me unless its actually dangerous. spot on Bruce! You still due up this way this summer Don? be great to get out with you and the lad if ya have time.

Hi all, went out with my buddy Al again...this time we did not bother even trying for the elusive crappie and got on with the business of catching some smallmouth.....the bass certainly were in the mood to bite today, despite the freezing, wet and windy conditions. Bait was jig and rubber shad and gulp minnows.....Al made me laugh... he said he's finally found a fish stupid enough to eat Gulp! Too cold and tired to write much else...here's some video of todays adventure <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Fantastic Bruce! thats a feast! Good job....i still aint found them here yet. Must be satisfying to get 'em on your home made jigs.

Hey TC.....dont know the area...but tight lines....cant wait till opener!!!!

Nice fish SBK....picture looks a bit like an old one from the '70s....lol...you still using a polaroid instant?

Hi all, i've all but given up on the crappie search till the weeds emerge and the water warms up a bit more. Went looking again, but knowing the bass were biting in the same lake only devoted 2 hrs to the (again unsuccessful) search. We caught around ten each, best one at 18" went to my buddy Al, but i got a nice 17" one and a 29" northern to get team 5 a few points...gawd knows we need 'em with all the trout being entered recently. Anyway....nothing complicated as bait, orange and chartruese thumper tail shads on a jig was all that was needed, find the shorelines where the White Pine is growing....usually where the rocky/boulders are...and voila...BASS!...great day out. My buddy Al had not fished for bass in over 20yrs...he had a blast....now converted...lol...he's been to the tackle shop and is busy buying braid, mepps spinners and and beetlespins for our next bassin adventure tomorrow morning on a lake i've been saying i'd like to put the boat into every year but always dont....soooo...till tomorrow heres the vid and pics we managed to get before rain forced the camera back into shelter....lol. ANOTHER FUN DAY! <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> A FEW PICCIES

Great weekend there guys, awesome pictures, not at all envious....lol...much!

Love it Mike....your enthusiam for fishing always comes out in your reports...love it....congrats on the new PB!

Cool video...nice perch

Thanks Mike...when does bass open for you? I dont own any spinnerbaits come to think of it....i was using beetlespins though....with mini tubes and white/chart 1/8 jigs and minnows......i'm gonna give it another shot on thursday morning with a buddy....will pick up a spinner bait. However i only have a couple of hours out there...and so far the amount of time i'm spending changing up gear to try different things to trigger a bite is not paying any dividends so far. Anyway Jacques...thanks for the reply....you always do

DONE! Liked it the first time...still liking it. Good luck in the competition

STUNNING PICTURES...almost distracts from some pretty darned awesome fishing too...great report paul.
