Re: Grateful in 2015

Beauty!

Lake Champlain is on my list of places I need to fish in 2016.
Oneida has monster lakers and Pulsaki has nice salmon running the streams.

Awesome report!

Re: Cancun fishing advice

Thanks!

I have done much research but even $350 US seems steep.

I will see where we end up when we get down there. Likewise Mike good luck out there!

Re: Jimmy's end of Year report

Thanks all!

It sure wasn't for lack of trying!

It just seemed the fish gods weren't liking me in 2015....

I'll be back at it 2016. Kids will be older, a little easier to get out!

I know that some pier fishing in Victoria in February is going to happen!

Jimmy's end of Year report

This will not be ANYWHERE near as glorious as other reports. My year was slow and got out sporadically. We had a Son in April 2015 and had a Daughter in 2014. SO we are pretty darn busy with the little ones. Couple that with wedding planning, guests arriving etc etc it did not leave much time to fis...

Re: Muskie fishing question

Anytime you fish musky you risk spending all day washing lures..... :lol: :lol: Best bet is to use larger baits and troll between 3.5 and 5mph as they are fattening up and conserving energy for the long winter. Cast to wherever you still see weeds and points. I usually slow my retrieve to about 3/4 ...

Re: Bait in west end of Ottawa?

I doubt Big Al's in Kanata would do this. Selling bait is monitored by the MNR and I know a retailer who was fined a few times for minnows they received in their shipments etc The fine isn't cheap either. Its a risk vs reward scenario. Kijiji has a ton of cheap tanks and filters. Heck sometimes FREE...
