My Lab takes off to the basement and hides behind a sofa. Even severe thunder storms scare the crap out of her.My Pom however just barks like mad, and wathches to see what i do. If i dont show signs of concern, she just lays back down and goes to sleep.

Great report Rick.I'm starting too get a bit of respect for those "not so" little trouty things Nice fish my friend

That looks very bad For 2 days,we have been smelling smoke here in Montreal. Wonder if its from these fires?

As always,an information packed report.Thanks Garry, i enjoy all of your reports, and leasrn something everytime. Paul

I am in awe G Thats one beauty of a fish !! You da man !

Man oh Man !!! You guys sure know how to party !!! This repoert was incerdible. Love the vids, and those fish are fiesty as al get-out !!!! Thanks for sharing

WTG Mike !!!.... Looks like a great day on the water !!!!!!!

Actually, you appear to be right.I did some googling, and For some reason, norther lake Champlain and parts of Lake Magog seem to have a greater concentration of this fish than most other places.There is no doubt that they are a rare occurance in other areas, but not as rare as WFN made out. Scientists cant figure out why these locations have a higher amount of the Hybrid than other bodies of water.

Any reason why?

I have an extra rod that i would like to use as a dedicated drop shot rod.Its a 7' ML Fast action bait casting rod. I know i could google it, but you boys have always been wealth of info for me. What do i need as far as line, hooks, sinkers, Knots,swivels, technics, etc ? I have long heard that this technic will catch fish in all situations. Bout time i gave it a "shot" Thanks!!!

Glad you had a great day Chad.I had a great Pike Day, but i am haveing a tough time dialing in the walleye up this way.May have to change venue Hammer 'em Bud !!!

Awesome !!!!Gives it a whole different perspective being right down with the fish.

Thanks Brian....gonna give a chatreuse one a go after supper, for walleye.I added stingers to them, and will put a bit worm on it to give it some flavour

Probably minnows or shiners eating the bugs on the surface of the water. So did ya catch anything?

Great report and awesome pics Juli You seen to put a run on "em everytime. Its a great day to go fishing !!!!!

Couldn't find the big girls today.Water temps are climbing fast.I did find a Walleye hole with the help of MTP. I'm gonna fish it later this afternoon once the weekend warriors are off the water.

were you using spinnerbaits? Gonna try my secret weapon.If they work, i will make up a few for ya.

Great report Mike and thanks for the tip. I love the sunsets off that dock.The wife and i often stand on the end of it and enjoy the view. We will find the Pike for you tomorrow and will PM you the location

WTG Simon.Thats a bovine of a walley !!!

Great report Brian. You guys rock !!! The water looks nice and calm too. Love to try fishing those someday.

Specially a politician Art. They all have screws loose

Great info in this thread. Thanks for shring your experience guys

Is this still going? Holy Lordy people!!! There was a time when mice and live frogs were the go to bait.Now, because of changeing social pressure, not so much. Never used mice, but i sure remember as a kid,catching frogs with dad to go bass fishing.Still remember the squeal as we rigged them up. As mentioned, with all the new life like lures and baits on the market, we dont need the live stuff anymore. If i was stranded in the bush, with a lake nearby, a fishing rod and a box of live mice, you can be darned sure those little suckers are going for a swim. Other than that, SPINNERBAITS ARE MY NEW FRIEND

Welcome to the Crew !!! Its a "Motley" bunch of Good Ole Boys in here.

Get a second opinion on it Mike.Your mech may not be as good as he says or you think.
