David Chong 288 Posted October 21 Report Share Posted October 21 As the open water season draws to a close and I reflect on this past season, MAN was it crazy! Not really sure what the new normal will be but I just want to get back to some kind of normal! that being said, sorry that I've been MIA for a good part of the summer. That being said our lakes and waterways seem to be busier than ever before with many new anglers drawn to our sport during these COVID times! Hopefully these newcomers will take the time to understand what it takes to be a responsible anglers, understanding MNR rules & regs., respecting the properties of others, etc. We will try to address as many of these things in on-line content as the ice season approaches! That being said, still managed to catch plenty of great fish! See below some fish porn from this past open water season! Will still get in a number of fun fishing outings before ice-up and looking forward to the up coming ice season! I hope that everyone has had a great summer and is staying safe & keeping well! It'll be ice fishing season in no time! 8 Link to post Share on other sites

It's been a fair tournament season, especially considering the fact that we didn't think that we would have one at all! We've won a couple of smaller events and had a fair number of top 10 finishes in larger events. Just focusing on a little fun fishing now! 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Rizzo 107 Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 awesome pictures. I was thinking oh wow this guy fishes for every species when i saw all the variety in the first photos, then it was bass, bass, bass, more bass, bass, bass, even more bass followed by some bass....I think I figured out your preference. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

aplumma 260 Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 Thank you for all of the great pictures Dave. We had kind of a damper down here with the COVID and such so I didn't get out as often as I wanted. We had a really good season down here with the Snakeheads and the Bass. The water temperatures have cooled down to a point where the Snakehead bite is over for the season but next year it should fire up again. As I have said before if you are near the Potomac River give me a shout and we can get after a few of the local species. Art 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I’m looking forward to when we can cross the border and experience the many fishing opportunities down there! Hopefully we’ll be able to take you up on that offer sooner rather than later!

I'd eat a lot of other fish before a Smallmouth Bass, that being said many moons ago when we used to camp a lot more we did keep some for a meal now & then! Link to post Share on other sites
