ccmtcanada Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) After fishing with Slowpoke on Saturday morning, Bly and I went and fished both on Saturday and Sunday night. Fishing was awesome!!! Saturday Night We headed out to one of our hot spots, and were met with a beautiful moon!! Had to take some pictures. They actually turned out!! Anyways, on to the fish porn!!! LOL First, we wanted to see if those nice browns were still in the area, so we both casted a variety of spoons, spinners, and cranks. Bly went 1 for 2 and landed this nice brown on a 1oz Red Devil Spoon. Once the sun was down, the bite seemed to turn off, so out came my Carp rod. It was getting a bit late and we were both very tired from being up at 330am to fish with Slowpoke, so we decided to give it only a half hour or so. Luckily, the bite was on and I managed this nice one measuring at 34.5" and weighing 18lbs 2 ounces. Sunday Evening As you guessed, we headed out to a few shore spots tonight to see what was swimming around. I'm beginning to think that Bly has the magic touch when it comes to pretty fish!! LOL. You'll see why here in a minute. All the following fish came on...you guessed it Bly's trusty/lucky/dont ever lose it Red Devil spoon!!! She ended up 3 for 3 on these browns while there was still a bit of light...the first was a small one at around 12" (didn't take a picture), but her biggest ones came a bit later. Second one was a 20" er.... The third was an 18" er We decided to hit another spot to see what was swimming at some other places. I kept throwing the same stuff she was and got a few hits, but no fish on. We'll dont you know it, Bly casts out her Red Devil and begins to get some action...hoping for another nice brown. She says "fish on, Get ready with the net when you have a minute". The fish didn't feel that big...but soon I heard "Come with the net NOW!!", so I bring in my line quickly and grab the net. As I get closer, the fish comes to the surface and Bly catches that familiar glint of reflection from its eyes. She says excitedly "It's a WALLEYE!!!!". After about a 5 minute fight, she landed this BEAUTY...measuring in at 32.5" and weighing an impressive 12 pounds 14 ounces!!!! She now has 4 out of her 5 species for the Avid Angler awards...only one more to go and I'm sure she'll get it soon!! Anyhow, the bite turned off, so off to another spot to try and get some Carp...I didn't want to get skunked!! LOL. The carp action was SLOW to say the least. I tried casting to a variety of areas, but to no avail. Suddenly, with no warning, I get a fish on and this one didn't want to come in at all!! After fighting it for about 10 minutes, it finally gets close enough to net. Here's my fish...34.5" and weighing in at 20 pounds 8 ounces. It looked like the spawn was tough on this one!! A whole patch of scales were missing, but it looked like it was healing... Well, there you have it, between fishing with Slowpoke and the fish in this report, we had an AMAZING fishing weekend. A few things also have become painfully evident to me. Number one...it seems I can only catch coarse fish and not pretty fish!!! And number two, Bly has the magic touch with that Red Devil spoon. So, as in real life, Bly (the beauty, catches the pretty fish) and me (the beast can catch only coarse fish). We're not sure how long the Walleye will be close to shore like this, so we'll have to keep on trying until there is no sign of them...and then wait til the fall. Edited July 3, 2007 by ccmtcanada
solopaddler Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 Wow, that is a truely impressive walleye! A lot of people fish hard there whole lives without catching one that big . If I were Bly I'd take special care of that particular sppon .
Stoty Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 Holy crap!! Some very nice fish there! If you dont mind me asking, whereabouts are you guys fishing to get fish like that?? I would love to be able to hit a spot or two like that after work on a weekday!!
Roy Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 OK Bly....from here on in....you will be referred to as "Brown Momma". Excellent report and pics AGAIN!
dustink Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 Man....I need to forget a boat, and pound the shore a bit more..... Simply awesome report you two! dk
Whopper Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 Simply amazing! Monster walleye is awesome! Congrats Whopper

What did you guys catch out with Slowpoke my Team #4 teamate? Oh the good old reliable Red Devil. MTP Thanks Mike! Here's the link to the report from fishing with Slowpoke on Saturday...the only one who caught a big fish was...well....do I really have to tell you??? Bly....LOL http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8827
tbayboy Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 My thinking - after the slaying you layed on the 'eyes last fall they tried to come in early and trick you but NOOOOO Bly had to go and toss that spoon . Congrats on a great weekend, keep it up.
tonyb Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 I'm surprised that people actually ask for directions to these spots. It's simple, get out there, go fishing, and experiment. Cliff, don't share anything with people who are looking for the hot bite at your expense. You've located these fish and spent countless hours trying to find different spots, you deserve all the rewards for your effort.
oxcowboy Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 you guys are the bomb! i dont know how you do it, day in and day out. you folks always have such amazing reports. keep up the great work. i love the moon pics as well as the fish. jason

You've located these fish and spent countless hours trying to find different spots, you deserve all the rewards for your effort. No worries Tony...the spots we are at are not a secret, we see other ppl fishing there as well, they just all go home when it gets dark!! Our best fishing is after the sun sets. Just make sure you have a bath in mosquito repellent though...LOL. We do not give out our spots unless we completely trust the person....and that means meeting and fishing together to get a true feel on what they are like. Thanks for your words Tony...shore spots in urban settings are hard to come by, and yes, we do put our time in for our results. Edited July 3, 2007 by ccmtcanada
BFSC Kevin Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 some very nice sized fish there! atleast theres a bright side in fishing in the dark... no sunburns or tans! lol great job bly and cliff
Joey Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 Wow, what a great fishing weekend you two had. Very impressive fish for both of you. Way to go. Joey
Victor Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 You made me wait for quite some time for this one! So i guess it is true that you guys never fail to catch fish ... and the bigguns too! Cliff, you might have to spy on what carole does to her red devil spoon ... i think you just have to give your lures some love ... i.e. hugging them to sleep, bring them to work, take them for a swim every so often *shh* i haven't been doing any of those so that's the reason why i don't catch fish ...
fishnsled Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 Anyone want to buy a boat?? Just AWESOME!!!! (Both reports that is.) I haven't thrown a Red Devil in years. Are you guys sponsored by them?? Maybe you can get me a couple of freebies. Now where did I put those spoons????
Guest Johnny Bass Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 Excellant report! Those are some very imprerssive fish for DT Toronto. All I ever caught were Smallies the occasional pike and rock bass! Sounds like you have found a nice honey hole. Bly, time to go back to the tackle shop and stock up on red devils.lol
kennyman Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 You guys are amazing! What a wally!!! Awesome as usual! Thanks for posting.
Handlebarz Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 nice going guys and nice browns there brown mamma
Stoty Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 Tony.... I wasnt asking for their exact spot. Just a general location is what I was after. I am new to the Pickering area, and can only fish on weekends in my boat, so was hoping to find the approx location where I could go for some decent shore fishing. Didn't know it was a sin to ask for help. I guess I will know for next time.
ccmtcanada Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Posted July 3, 2007 Hey Stoty....here's a great guide that Bly and I used to get us started at the end of last summer...take a look...it's very helpful! http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/MNR/pubs/UrbanFishing.pdf Good luck!
Stoty Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 Perfect, thats great. Thanks very much. Being a competitive fisherman myself, I would never ask for your exact location. That guide is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again.
