Greetings,

Greetings,

 

Been busy lately.

More to come.

 

I wasn't going to post until October but I got all excited.....

I found a new spot for pike today, Lakeside.

 

Got out for lunch this afternoon and caught a couple smallies and 2 surprise pike.

 

I was tubing for smallies when this dude bit me off.

That's the tube in his mouth:

Soon afterward I caught this guy with one of Clive's (aka Mepps) spinners:

Lure: Rockstar (the Clash)

Length: long

Weight: getting heavy

The Toronto smallies have (not) enjoyed Clive's lures either:

Since I located a couple bass holes last year in T.O. I've noticed that the small 1 to 2 pound regulars have put some size and weight on.

A crowd was here for this one (there was a swarm of black flies on my face)

Here's a bunch of flukes

Brunch of Loogans,

I met up with Highdrifter and Wild Billy last week to show them a honey hole.

We all caught a few bass each, had some great follows and lost a couple.

 

They were very trusting.

The spot required a short kayak paddle and all i had was 1 inflatable kayak.

I proposed that we attach my line to the 'yak and go to the island one at a time.

Luckily, there was enough line to reel the kayak back and forth from the mainland!

Here's Fidel taking line,

I was worried that with the effort of getting there that we might not catch anything and a mutiny would ensue.

 

10min. later Here's the 1st one of the day.

Fidel feeling the fishes pain,

Fishing makes me happy!

I lost some pics of Fidel with another "smallie" but I think he and Billy have some extras.

Fidel had his fly rod (11-13'?) Fish on,

Billy brought a net which was good because the rocks were wet and slimy

Here's Billy with a fish that he's failed to share because he's selfish and conceited.

Later that day, somewhere else, on a grub spinner

ROCKSTAR!!

 

I owe Clive a descent intro to the gifts he sent.

However, my computer time has had to take a back seat for summer fun!

 

I received this package last winter/spring and even though I have not been out as much as I've wanted, they've produced!

 

Here's the package with a love note and lures,

These are beautiful lures!

The really cool thing is that each one is customized on the inside of the spinner:

My top producer for multiple species so far. THE CLASH!

So, now you'll know what I'm talking about every time a ROCKSTAR reference comes up!

 

Thanks again Clive!

 

 

last but not least,

You're on. However, with your Mad Skillz, you'll probably out fish me!

(note to self: apply nail polish generously)

I don't need an island to talk to volleyballs. I prefer to converse with a medicine ball.
