LOL Jedi....canadians and hockey...lol....love it....i think it was more a case of curving it round the wall from 35 yards with the outside of the boot into the top corner.

well, we have been trying and trying for over 2 years now, god knows how many 'casts' ive made (snigger) but my wife runs into the room yesterday with the pregnancy test kit....HOLY !!!! WE DID IT!!!! she is pregnant....NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A PB!!! Better start working on the plans for a changing table in the boat.....hehehehe.

What works for me is to cast at shore near or on top of weeds with Mepps Comet spinner(dressed is better in my experience). And Lew....i got stuck 3 times like that last week...good job my hooks are pretty blunt...lol...

great report Cliff, congrats Bly on the PB...thats a very fat carp. Quick question for you carp guys....can you get 'Dynamite Marine Halibut Pellets' over here?...the same dynamite brand also makesa good Marine Halibut boilie dip/additive....i have some plans for it next winter when fishing for whities

Very impressive Laker.....where is Big Sand Lake?.....lol

Tbay me ole mucka....like i said...i'm still in shock she got into the fishng so much....i mean she was even getting competitive...gave me a good run for my money too!

Hogman...i'm in ZONE 5 OF ONTARIO and LMB and SMB is open all year here.

I have a 1 year old husky lawn tractor...i thought it was pooched...kept stalling....worked out in the end it was cuz the grass was too thick and wet. lol...i'm too new to all this kinda thing.

Hi Y'all, Went back to my bass haunt, this time my wife wanted to come with me. She does not fish very often, but likes being in the boat to read and catch some sun. She does however like fishing for Pike, so i promised her we would go for some. We headed off at about 2pm, round the corner of our bay through the channel and into Mile Lake. It has almost become tradition for us to anchor up first in a little weedy bay at the entrance to this lake (not much weed there at the moment though) and have a few casts. Erika(my wife) has been secretly stocking up on Mepps spinners...lol....and produces a few before we left...saying she wants to try them...as the colors were so pretty. Now I’m not going to be condescending about what could arguably be described as more ‘feminine’ lure color selection process, because it has proved to be a very effective technique in the past...for example....whilst in France a few years back, we ...or mostly me...were float(bobber) fishing for CHUB ....she chose a float because it was round, stubby and "cute", I was pretty mean at the time and scoffed dismissively.....but it was the float that worked best, lol...would she let me try it...not likely! serves me right. We were in the little bay for half an hour...me with a topwater...and my wife with her new Mepps. Well after half an hour it was 3-0 to my wife...lol...she always does that. ONE OF 3 PIKE THAT MY WIFE CAUGHT <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i263.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/vishuscirquel/Picture024.flv"> SHE AINT SQUEEMISH EITHER, GET THOSE HOOKS OUT GIRL!!! <a href="http://s263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/vishuscirquel/?action=view¤t=Picture001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/vishuscirquel/Picture001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> After that half hour it went very quiet, so she suggests we try for some of the bass i had been catching recently. I suggested we try Trap Lake behind Mile Lake connected by another weedy channel. I had been into there once this year, but it was pretty dead as far as the fishing went, but the water had warmed since my last visit and weeds are starting to grow. I had caught a few bass in there last year, and was eager to test the rocky shorelines in there as this is where thefish were holding up in numbers on Mile :Lake. I was very hopefull because Trap Lake has more of this shorelinde feature than the Lake we were on. We headed off and started at a long stretch of rocky shallow shoreline....not a sniff in the first hour...but we persevered and were rewarded....Topwater lures were the hot lure...with shallow crank baits working well when we knew a fish was there but had hit the topwater a few times and was a bit spooked. I am gonna use a cliche now and let pictures and video paint a thousand words...all in all non stop action...at least 30 fish in the 4 hours we were in there.

A lot of my buddies wife's give them 'the look' when they ask PERMISSION to go fishing...not my wife...she tells me its a thrill to watch me enjoy something i'm so passionate about...and that she will always know where i am....lol... feel blessed to be married to her.

Chug Bugs are awesome!!! and topwater fishing is definitely one of my favourites....great for pike too...love seeing a pike launch 2 feet outta the lake to whack the lure!!!

Nice pics, great report. I had a day like that last year...we trolled for lakers for 6 hrs with one 9 incher all day...we then headed off for some bass fun for an hour before we packed up...my buddies son absolutely killed the bass on a large twity grub he only had one of...we just sat and watched him pull in fish after fish...lol...good fun Thanks for sharing....the guy snoozing is scary...lol

Hey Mike....i'm new to fishing over here...and am still amazed at the colors of lures that catch fish...i mean since when was there anything orange and pink that glows in the dark to be found naturally in any habitat ??? coming from a backround of sea fishing...the species i was used to catching required as natural a looking bait as possible if not a live bait...this has been a steep learning curve for me. Nice thread Thanks...lemme know how you get on.

Ive never tried wacky worm technique...but i do like using circle hooks when i can....like someone else said...99.9% of the time the hook is in the corner of the fishes mouth.

Great Pics GCD....where is Lakair?

Great report...sounds like a blast1...one question...where is lakair....?

Thats a big fish Lew....great report.

thta's a big slab...nice one!

thta's a big slab...nice one!

glad the vid was usefull, and Taper....thanks for the tip about the Rapala knife....might need to invest for next winter o the ice.

i love you too cliff....lol

Awesome report.....absolutely fantastic pictures...thanks for sharing...the sunset pics are incredible!

This post was inspired by richyb's Pike post. I know a lot of you probably already know this, but pike is really good eating...but i i always here that people think it's too boney, soooooooooo.....i just thought i'd put this video here cuz it helped me to fillet pike....in fact its also usefull for trout(lakers) and whitefish too, which have similar anatomies to pike. I did a search on here and realise vids have been posted on this topic before...but it was a while ago. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcWyGrV0qao&hl=en"></param><embed'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcWyGrV0qao&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcWyGrV0qao&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> That electric filleting knife looks great for slabbing whiteies and trout out on the ice, i wonder if there is a battery operated version...would save alot of time and frostbite if it works at -40 celcius....lol.

Hey richyb, Great report, nice bass...even better Pike. Thats what i have been fishing for recently too, although the bigger pike are still to show in the weedbeds...heck the weedbeds are still to show in the weedbeds...lol....was a long winter. I like eating pike too....and like you say it aint harder than filleting trout or whitefish. Thanks for sharing....enjoy supper.
