COOL!

Great report MofB, salmons gotta be a bonus...i'd love to catch one of those.

Nice fish CP....thatnks for sharing.

i dont know what will happen in terms of taking more fish for consumption, but there are certainly less American fishermen up here this year so far, and for myself....yup...gas prices have definitely meant i will not be hauling the boat around as much as i'd like.

Hi Hillrat, welcome back...i'm a newbie but loving the forum.

Welcome dylandddd, I'm new to the forum too, and you'll easily find out loads to help. I was also in a similar position to yourself 7 years ago...fished when i was younger but only got back to it after a 20 year break. GOOD LUCK and tight lines.

Thanks for the replies guys. Hey highdrifter, the bright side of not getting walleyes at this reef is that i get the chance to go back and try and get "descunkified" for walleye And Clamp It....its always the way recently it seems...should just set up a permanent chair down there....sell the boat...and save on gas...lol.....NAH.....that would be boring. Unfortunately Master of Bait i pulled up quite a few snagged lines, looks like i was not exactly Indiana Jones on this one( i.e. new discovery) Thanks for the suggestion Cranks, but the motor runs fine....its just that when i have it at full tilt the arm hardly rotates at all...is it a rubber type gasket/grip that needs replacing....all help appreciated. And i did think about anchoring up....should've really. next time i will, i wanna try setting the bobber at 17' and letting it drift up the slope, also throwing a bright colored crank/slash bait might be interesting...gotta be bright i think cuz Lake Wabigoon is murky/muddy as hell. I'm gonna get the lawn and all that crap outta the way and head of for some more pike/bass action...will post up later today.

Hi Y'all, AHHHHHHH....finally finished work! off for 2 months now, still have to do a bit of moonlighting to afford my sled this winter...small sacrafice....but should be posting lots and lots and lots over the next couple of months. Anyhoo...enuff personal history, on to fishy business. OK....went out for an hour or two yesterday. Found an awesome midwater reef/hump/structure thingy with fish all over it. The upside was that it seems my fishfnder is beginning to work...lots of probs before, still not working all the time...seems transducer mounting is liking cause...but will post on that asking for help if after i mess around with it a bit more. This reef comes up from around 30 feet, has a near vertical drop on one side, gradual slope on another and plateaus (20'x20') across the top getting as shallow as 2' (watch that skeg!!!) as i drifted over it you could see weed growth on top and on the slope, and more importantly big fish arches at 18' all around it...with lots of baitfish everywhere. I was going out to get supper, and was assuming this was walleye at the reef. Well it could have been but all i could manage to catch was pike...not that i'm bothered about catching...was just hoping it was my wally supper. I'm pretty sure there were plenty of walleye there, but i only got 3 pike.....also my trolling motor is playing up(another post asking for help coming up on that one too, once i have a quick look at it myself) so was difficult to hold position in the wind. Not a bad session...dont think there is a bad day fishing as someone once said somewhere, and after tying the boat up i had a few casts and managed 4 small walleye for supper...SORTED! Her's a few piccies from yesterdays outing.

great report JdubyaL. thanks for sharing

Nice one Gerrit, Nippising is not far from where i am at....and the weayher has certainly been the most challenging aspect of any recent fishing trips.....if not rain....wind.....or both. Great pics of the whole family, like someone else said...cant wait to have a little fishing buddy too. Thanks for sharing....whats a Rockstar lure?

Some good fish there. I like the look of the white bass....i dont think we get those up here. thanks for sharing.

thoe things are vicious, we dont get them in England and i was pretty freeked out last year when i saw the first one i'd ever seen poke its head outta the waternear where i wa standing....they are huge!! this thing must've weighed 200lbs!!! Cool pic Jedi. Great report Rich

Excellent read, thanks for the report. Some nice pike there. Alot of the good fisherfolk of NW Ontario furrow their collective brows at those among us who target 'jackfish', but as your report shows, great fun, great action and like it has been said in a recent report...makes a walleye look like a sissy! LOLOL....love that word "descunkafied" may i get permision to use that HD? nice job guys.

So sorry to hear that Gary. I dont have a dog, but have 3 cats and i cant stand the thought of losing any of them, like all have said , they are part of the family, and true friends and companions. I offer my deepest sympathies and condolences to you . Simon

great report, nice bass.

Great report, great pics, great kids ya got there too....i am also liking the kids 'lid'.Great fish too, am jealous that you have a BPS so near, my wife and my bank balance are happy there isn't Thanks for sharing.

thats pretty cool Joey, gonna show my wife that one...she's into that sort of thing....lol.

that sucks Stoty....mind you they always keep ya guessing till the end...barstewards that they are. I like the sound of the earlier suggestion...."collect EI and fish everyday", for a little while ...thats what i might do....good luck with the job hunt, pretty sure you 'll get something.

Yup.....its driving me nuts....wont stop me going out...cuz i need my fix...however somedays the wind has been the main issue...specially with my 16' tinny. Have had some luck with lures for bass, pike and walleye in the rain this past couple of ewweeks though. Was not raining very hard most days though.

great walleyes you got there, thanks for sharing.

My blood boils to hear that...low down, Sorry for your loss. Simon.

awesome report, that looks so cool. Those wahoo look exactly like giant versions of an atlantic mackerel i used to catch back in the uk....bet they put up one hell of a fight ...cuz their smaller cousins are one of the hardest fighting fish i have experienced. Once again, great report...and like Joey said...that water looks sooooo nice and blue.

Great report Rick, nice stringer too.......sooooo...insn't that the tree right next to....lol..kiddin'. But i'm sure since we are neighbours your gonna show me where that tree is someday....right?....hehe

Hey baby Herc, No...lol...i have no idea, all i know is from the ontario fishing regs is that in our area Bass is open all year give or take a few exceptions. sorry mate, cant help ya, but the fishing regs document on the MNR website gives clear map of areas and whats fishable and when.

Nice musky jigger, great to get a PB, 10/10 for patience and perseverance...i dont think i'm cut out to be a musky fisherman...lol..too impatient. Bad luck with the camera...can still see the fish though . I have a problem with leaving it on video mode...think i'm taking a pic only to find 20mins later i hit the record button...so i get 2 secs vid of me or someone holding a fish, then a long video of ther blackness of the inside of the camera case...lol...lucky the camera switches off after 1 minute!!!
