Not so Spring like conditions

What an awesome evening, Me and my good friend Danny headed out for some more spring staging steelhead! Conditions were awesome, but didn't feel like spring what so ever! Super cold out today with a little bit of snow. Lake was calm and the bit was ON! we hit a ton of fish, and had a bunch of laughs. Can't wait to get out after school again tomorrow. MAN I LOVE FISHING!

Bottom bouncing for Staging Steelhead

Was definitely quite the weekend... I'm not a huge bottom bouncer fan myself, as i like to float fish in the rivers, but man this was a TON of fun. Fished all day Saturday and Sunday. Had a late start to the day on Saturday and managed to land a few nice fish, including my biggest buck of the year! Was a super windy day, but my FISHBUM soft shell jacket blocked the wind and kept me warm for the day. Saturday night i spent a while tying some bags for all day sunday. Me and my good friend Danny headed down to the lake for first light and it was very slow. We figured that the fish were gonna stay pretty lethargic until the sun came out and warmed everything up a little bit. So we tried something totally different but it didn't produce any fish for us. We went back to lake later around 530 and the fish were pretty active! Lots of fish where landed, it was a super cold night but well worth it. Soon enough the ice is going to thaw and these staging Steelhead are going to go on there journey up the river to spawn. ><>

Quinte GOLD

 

 

 

Such a fun day! Yesderday I went to the Bay of Quinte for 12 hours, and did not land one fish.. Today we went to a different spot and hammered them :) Between the 4 of us, Me, Buck Tytler, Peter Seto, and Yvonne Brown, we iced 22 walleye! The morning bite was the best, but also managed to land a couple during the day and later on in the afternoon right before dark. We caught all of our fish on Buck Shot spoons tipped with a minnow! I don't usually keep fish, but have never ate walleye before.. Today, I also caught my personal Best walleye! I can not wait to get back on the lake for some Quinte Gold! ><>

Lake Simcoe Jumbo's!

Such a fun weekend! I went up to my good friend, Cole Vardy's house for the weekend to target some Jumbo Perch. I went up for 3 days and we hammered them! Cole put us on some big fish. They key to success this weekend, Was drilling a bunch of holes covering a large area of water. If we weren't catching many fish, We would move and keep moving until we found some fish. There are always fish willing to bite, it's just a matter of never giving up and finding the aggressive ones! Such a fun weekend, Can't wait to fish scugog in the morning for more Jumbos and some crappie! ><>

What a weekend..

 

What a weekend.. Dropped my reel in the water and snapped my rod yesterday on the truck hitch.. Almost dropped it in again today, and didn't learn my lesson the first time to put tape on my cork rings.. And I snapped another rod due to the cold weather.. All weekend I only got 1 fish, but was well worth it! Thanks for the bug Josh! ><>

Junior Bass Master ChampionShip!

This year I was fortunate enough to be apart of the Junior Port Perry Bass Master program. Was such a fun year taking part in all the events. This past weekend I had my Championship on the bay of Quinte, becoming Angler of the year with 43 pounds, and my good buddy Danny, Came second with 38 pounds! Such a fun weekend and can't wait for it again next year!

My 30.68 Lbs. Salmon made it to the board!

So exited! 2 nights ago, I got my Personal Best king weighing 30.68 Lbs.! It was a pretty slow night for me and my dad a couple nights ago. We didn't get fishing till about 7, but once we dropped our lines we got a couple rips on the dipseys. Then after a little action, it started to slow down and it was getting dark out. Finally, I looked over, saw the rigger pop, ran to the back of the boat and cranked down on it, lifted the rod out of the rigger and fought the fish. Took me for a long run, and eventually got it right close to the boat and took me for another good run! After about 15 minutes, I was just bringing it to the boat after the second run and it was staying down deep. Thank god it wasn't a hand balmer.... after a couple of minutes of the fish hanging deep boat side, it finally came up, I saw it and new it was a good fish! "NET IT DAD"! He went for it and missed it the first time... and went for a little run. Was scared it was going to come off. brought it back to the back of the boat and my dad net it. "WOOO!". I new it wasn't massive but I new it was a goo fish and maybe a good enough fish to weigh in for the derby. We weighed it, and the scale was bouncing between 30 and 31, so we put it in the cooler and fished for a bit longer. it was about 8:00, and was too late to weigh in that night, so we put it in the cooler over night with some ice and weighed it first thing in the morning. I was pretty exited cause it was my biggest fish to date, and my first fish to weigh in for the Derby! I set it on the scale, and it went to 30.68~! For the first day of the derby I was in 2nd place, but got bumped down to 5th place today.. Slowly getting bumped down, but hope to hang on before Friday night :)

Can't wait to get out in the morning in search for a derby winner king!
