Moosebunk 127 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Despite all that went on in our country this past year one thing remained pretty consistent... the FISHING! The lakers, muskies, gar, char, crappies, specks, pike, walleye and even for once in my life some splake too, all made life better. The fun never ends as long as you keep getting out there to experience new things, in new places and hopefully in 2021 with plenty more people safely at your side. Short 2020 picture loaded report at the link below... Best to all for 2021. . THE FISHIN' 20/20 ON 2020 . 1 Link to post Share on other sites
pics 46 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Nice report.. my plans for fishing Nipigon and staying in "the cabin"(you may know of this secret place) was canceled due to covid and the fact that we would be coming from a virus Hotspot. I have worked through the entire pandemic so I had to stay close to home once the ramps opened.. the grand river and long point bay are decent but can't compare to the north.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

And I think you need to go back for that southern gar soon as the borders open. On 1/4/2021 at 6:46 PM, GregF2 said: Awesome - my Dad and I always look forward to your reports!

Know of a particular cabin which you may speak of. Hoping the best for northern friends in the business cause my Lord they took a hit through 2020. At the very least, it should be accepted that Canadians move about following best precautions they can, especially those planning to further distance and merely go about enjoying their lives. Thanks for reading fellas! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
pics 46 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Unfortunately for resort owners and outfitters most people in Southern Ontario consider "up north" to be Muskoka or North Bay.. Link to post Share on other sites

glen 71 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 One place I know very little about, nipigon. Does it have fish that have never seen a hook? Does boating in 30 miles get you away from other boats? I enjoy remote areas. Maybe one day I’ll go there. great post Bunk. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Boating just a few miles gets you away from others if you launch on the Onaman river 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The speck lifespan is so short and they're so spread out over every bit of rock, everywhere, that there's too many places not at all fished by anglers season after season. The pike in places are rarely targeted, in some places HEAVILY targeted, but they're predatory enough to forget being hooked a day or two later. The lake has BIG depths in many places, some I'd think see only a handful of boats a year... and spots like Windigo Bay albeit a shallower, sand flat bottom for miles and miles, must hold immense bait and lakers seasonally feeding in their comfort zones, without hardly ever seeing a boat, let alone a lure. And the walleye... they're almost forgotten except by gill netters and Americans. In some spots they take a beating, but the main lake fish are low on the list of options. Boating 30 miles out isn't necessary for great fishing, but it is adventurous and increases the solitude. Link to post Share on other sites
gordy28 79 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Slow on the draw or slow on the read on this one Bunk but as always enjoyed and it got me to review a post or two I missed Cheers Andrew 1 Link to post Share on other sites
pics 46 Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Walleye are thick in the Jackfish.. there are a couple of big houseboats that spend the summer up there and they are like floating lodges.. 200 plus fish in a boat is not unheard of.. I hear the ride up is not forth faint of heart.. imagine a lake that's about 5 times the size of Simcoe but with no cottages and little to no contour maps.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
