BassMan11 Posted March 21 Report Posted March 21 As most of us sit around in the "transition" time of the year, I get excited for the the adventures I have booked (and random trips) for the 2025 soft water season. I would say right now is when I do 90% of my fish gear buying. Big trips are: 1. June - French river for a week 2. Aug - 10 Mile Loge QC (thanks Iggy) 3. Aug - Round Lake (family vacation) Mix in some trips for lake trout in QC and Big Rideau as well as some local lakes for bass pike ad walleye I plan to fish as much as possible this year. Anyone else doing anything special for the 2025 fishing season? Cheers, BM 2
glen Posted March 21 Report Posted March 21 (edited) I’m going to try to make it to the perch fest. then maybe small lake for lake trout. then Erie for eyes. st Clair for Muskie. GB for salmon and rainbow. Then small lake north for whatever bites. that’s all I have so far. I’ve bought a bunch of gear. Hope to get a second boat too. Edited March 21 by glen 3

I recently bought a boat to join the fun, and I can’t wait to hit the water and see what bites!

BassMan11 Posted May 8 Author Report Posted May 8 13 hours ago, Iggy said: Round Lake near Barry's Bay? Yes. Right in the town of Round Lake Centre pretty much. We stayed that the same cottage last year. A beautiful beach and swimming area for the kids and some close fishing spots for pike and bass. Didn't fish lake trout too much, so many smelts.

BITEME Posted May 19 Report Posted May 19 Well since you asked…. This followed me home the other day. Meghan gave me an early birthday present. It’s been almost 8 years since going coastal and I haven’t had a boat under my butt since then. I’ll say it shore line fishing sucks! So for the time being we are going to hit lakes in Queens county. So many lakes not enough days. Back to basics! Chart plotter and bow mount coming at some point. ill keep you posted Cheers BITEME 3
MGC Posted May 21 Report Posted May 21 Trip I’m most looking forward to is a trip to the Lake Superior rivers in the fall. Been a couple years since I’ve been able to make it up there. 2

BassMan11 Posted June 9 Author Report Posted June 9 Trip one in the books. I caught a couple big Eye's this week on the French river. A 30.5" and a 27.5" respectively. Also picked up a 20.5" spawned out Largemouth. All in all another great week. Minus the blackflies. Cheers, BM 4
AKRISONER Posted Monday at 06:34 PM Report Posted Monday at 06:34 PM actually toning it back this year, but hoping to do more stuff now that I have a motor (blew mine end of june and didnt have a motor till september) Ill be hopping all over the province fishing NGTA derbies, i encourage anyone thats thinking of dabbling in tournament bass fishing, but wants to learn/do it at a low price to try it out, boater or not reach out. We have a blast, good group of guys and no drama. 1
spinnerbaitking Posted Wednesday at 02:29 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 02:29 PM I'll be heading to Dalrymple for 5 to 7 days in June and hopefully a few other times throughout the year, a buddy with a young family bought a cottage there a few years ago and I'm hoping to get them on a bunch of Panfish but will be targeting Bass, Pike, Walleye and maybe a Muskie. There will be lots of Bruce County lakes fishing for bass many and a bunch of Lake Huron as well for some Pike, Bowfin and Bass and maybe other species. Tight Lines 🎣
