Soft water

Heya gang!! I've been super busy lately, so I've been kind of lack in my posts, but I should be posting a report from last week soon!! I suspect that last week was my last hard water outing of the year, so my question now is, since things have been thawing quite well, are there any areas on the Ride...

I'm a big believer in nets, and keeping the fish in the water as long as possible... but... I DO see the advantage of the grips when ice-fishing. In fact last time I was out FishrJay and I missed two really nice pike because we were either slow or reluctant to put our hands near those big teeth!! I ...

Oh I know about shore fishin!! It's mostly what I do!! I fish mostly along the Rideau, as there are many spots you can drive to, hop out fish for a little while, then hop back in the car, drive a couple minutes and try another spot! If you like the Rideau, I fish from the boat launch at Taylor park ...

Dave, Nice job on the fish!!! I haven't been out of the ice for a couple weeks, and it's killing me. Great job on the weight loss. I'm struggling with idea myself. Are you using any specific "program"? JimW Heya Jim! Yep, I'm on the Dr.Bernstein diet!! Not a lot of fun at the beginning, b...

Long Island - Excellent Frustration!! (Friday)

Well FishrJay and I headed out for a couple of hours today to see if we couldn’t take some of the lessons learned from Tuesday to heart! We started out very close to the far shore at Long Island, the place where I saw those other guys land a few pike, and where I missed some bigger hits with the W...

Sure am seahawk!!

It's a great little spot.

When you go to that area, instead of following the road down towards the bridge, turn right just before there and go down the hill. That's the RCMP campground area. Park your car there and walk out onto the ice!

I went back again last night! Saw a couple guys haul in a few pike which was nice to see, so at least now I know a bit more of where to set up my tip-up for them!! I realized that I didn't really have the Windlass set up right. I got a few big hits on it last night, but it didn't trip the flag and s...

Long Island, Sunday...

Well Sunday was just too gorgeous to pass up, so I decided to head out to Long Island for about an hour or so of fishing in the late afternoon. Saw one man and his kid out there, but surprisingly, no one else was there!! The ice had to be about 27 or 28 inches thick, I thought I was going to lose th...

Ice Blasting on the Rideau??

I heard from a guy that I was sharing a shuttle bus with that they have begun blasting ice all along the Rideau!

Is this true? And does it affect the Long Island area? That's where my buddy and I tend to fish the most, and I'm wondering if it is no longer safe to fish there?

Hey way to go!! Glad one of us tied into something toothy!! The bite was non-existent on Crappie Bay on Saturday that's for sure! After getting frustrated with no showing from pike all day, I decided to spend my last hour or so going for pannies near nighttroller and peng! Well at least that produce...
