September 20, 2008

Went out to bluff bar today for some pike.  The crew I had landed 21 pike, all between 11" and 45", 5 or 6 largemouth bass, and one really nice 20lbs. Musky.  All the fish were hitting riggers with nk's and inline boards with large x-raps. 

         

 

September 16, 2008

Took out the winners of the CD 98.9 fall perch charter giveaway today.  Caught hundreds of perch, kept 60 (south of EC10).  The kids had a blast.  Many boats fishing around us commented on what a good time the kids seemed to be having that day. 

         

 

August  2008

The fish are still out there.  I will be moving my boat back to Long Point by the 15th of September.  So quickly book now to get out and catch some pickerel!  The walleye are very far out in the lake (19 -23 miles).   The picture on the right is from a double charter (we can arrange for multiple boats for larger groups with enough notice).

 

 

August 8th to 10th,  2008

Have been fishing everyday for the past couple weeks. Haven't had time to post much the fish are in 65 to 67 feet of water, 17 miles out of port.  Riggers down 60 to 62 feet, 10 and 7 color core,  dipsies back 160 to 180 have been the ticket.  Anything with purple on a super slim spoon has worked great.  As well as tequila sunrise and orange crush up higher. 

 

July 19 & 20, 2008

Rigger have been dead.  Fish are primarily in 65' of water.  Hitting 5, 7, and 10 color core, with sunkist super slims, and walleye whacker being the major producing lure for walleye.  Rainbows have been hitting silver number 1 dipsys, with orange crush super slim back 80-110 on a number 3 setting.  Hooking up an average of 40-50 fish a trip.  Here are some pictures of a short charter I ran on Saturday night after the storm past, only got out for an hour and a half.

         

 

July 17 to 18,  2008

The pickerel are in!  Having a great time out there.  Jimmy will post a more detailed report on Monday when he gets in.  Here are some pictures sent to me from Fridays trip.

 

 

 

 

 

July 11 to 15,  2008

Moved the boat to Port Bruce the boat didn't trailer too well.  Had to run it into Proctor's in Simcoe, feared having to cancel this weekends charters, luckily they had me on the road again in an hour.  Thanks again to the staff for sticking around for me.  Had 2 charters a day all weekend, Friday and Saturday we had mostly all steelhead.  Monday and Tuesday we were into the walleye more, Tuesdays evening charter finished with 27 walleye, and 3 steelhead.  All of them were caught in 43' of water off 10 color lead core.  Various colors of spoons.

 

July 4, 5 ,6,  2008

Fished all over the bay this weekend.  Ended up bass fishing one afternoon with 3 guys we pulled our limit of bass in 4 1/2 ft. of water, 500-1000ft off the steel wall at millionaires.  Started fishing pickerel and steelhead as target species.  Ended up finding lots of pickerel,  lots of big pickerel...all around 10lbs!!!  Steelhead were out there, very acrobatic.  Unfortunately, the charters had a hard time bringing them to the boat.  All pickerel and steelhead were very high up.  All came off 5 color lead, and jet 40s back 60-120ft.

 

 

June 28, 29, 2008

Mother nature seemed to have a lot to get out of her system this weekend.  Only got out for bass due to the weather conditions.  Trolled for bass using 7g rapalas and fat raps.  Caught and released loads of bass out in front of millionaires in 6 1/2 ft of water.  Also went for some perch, in front of pottahawk.

 

June 22, 2008

Great afternoon fishing.  Didn't get out except for this afternoon due to my friend's wedding, a great time.  Wife and I got into some perch.  Even got one measuring 15 inches. 

 

 

June 18, 2008

Had a family out for a perch charter.  Ended up with a limit.  Caught them in 21' of water on the inside of Bluff Bar, all caught with minnows (don't know what I would do without Rotten Ronnie always having bait for me). 

 

 

June 17, 2008

Rough waters today.  Went out to 80' put down lake trout and steelhead spreads, hooked up 3 steelhead.  Then headed in for calmer water, went to the bluffs perch fishing ended up with 100+.  Had to call it an early day due to winds. 

 

June 15, 2008

Went out for pike and perch.  Started off the day perch fishing, was a little slow.  So we went pike fishing, got a small one, then a large one.  Headed back in for perch fishing, ended up on a nice size school.

Took my wife and son out for an evening fish.  Boated the biggest northern of the year, my wife's first.  Here's a couple of pictures from tonight.

 

May 28, 2008

Went out for a few hours.  Put out 3 boards, two riggers, and one long line out the shoot.  Ended up boating 4 pike.  Three took spoons, one took a jointed x-rap. The large one was on a green spoon 200 ft back. 

 

May 25, 2008

Went for some pike then headed over to Nanticoke for some Silvers.  Took the first pike off a rigger 14' down, on a green monkey puke NK mag.  The next pike was off a board, with an 18g Rapala.  Had a hard time getting into the Silvers.  Backed off the shoot into 27 ft. of water started marking fish, anchored and got some nice sized perch in good numbers

 

May 24, 2008

Fished all day between the two charters ended up 14 pike and 50 perch.  The pike were tough to get, had to change lures repeatedly.  All of the action came on riggers and boards.  The perch were hard to find, found them in 5 ft. of water just in front of Port Rowan.

Supposed to fish all weekend but unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate.  Did however get out Saturday morning, started at the bluffs didn't last long waves were 4 feet.  Came in just west of the provincial park, got into hundreds of perch, lots of sorting.  Ended up with about 72 keepers in two hours, between 8 to 10 inches.

 

May 11, 2008

Spent Mother's Day fishing with my wife.  Took the little guy with us.  Got into some perch just off the old cut, kept 40.  Only fished for 30 minutes until the little guy gave up on getting sea legs. 

 

May 10, 2008

Fished the 1st annual LPBAA Pike Tournament.  Was a great showing 39 boats entered.  Went for weight instead of numbers, ended up back firing only an 8th place finish.  Also, got one giant 6 lbs. smallie, took it on a 16" salt water rapala.
