Beauties and Beasts - Long Weekend Report

Recommended Posts

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 :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.

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.

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.

You made me wait for quite some time for this one! :D

 

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 ...

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

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.

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.
