Interesting topic! Am I greedy, or disrespecting nature, for having kept 2 walleye caught during a bass tournament last year on Muskrat lake? Not in my opinion. Why? Because there's LOTS in that lake, and, because part of my allowance as an Ontario resident Sports Outdoors Card holder is that I'm a...

We all have our own viewpoints and I think it is hugely important for all of us to voice our individual perspectives but also respect those of our fellow fishing friends here. That being said, this isn't about shaming anyone, it's just a discussion on conservation and preservation of the resources t...

Your food pics made me hungry! Super report, well done again RJ. You're proving your multi-species reputation each and everyday. Hardcore!!!

I just wanted to say that when RJ posted the "how did your opening day go" a few weeks back, I had written a huge essay about the American tourists I saw killing huge bass each and every day at the cottage I was staying at, but I deleted the whole thing because I didn't want to hi-jack tha...

Interesting article. I don't get thought how an article can say, "case and point, in a small to medium lake if every angler caught just one limit a year then the lake would be overfished" without linking this quote to any scientific data or studies. Just because a guy said it in an articl...

As always, Gord Pyzer wrote a great article.... I found the quote below to be a kicker, and very relevant to what I constantly see around our lakes in this region (I was dumbfounded a few weeks ago on the Rideau Lakes system to see a boat full of Americans unload a basket of bass each and every day ...

Dude you're putting up some epic results so far this summer!

I love hearing that you guys are still using the Slug/Sluggo style baits. BUT, where are you buying them? I don't recall seeing them anywhere locally. I was out on the Ottawa River on Friday night for a few hours. I was using fluke baits (why not, since I wrote about it) I did have a little luck, an...

We all know the impact throwing a hard jerk-bait can have over the course of a season. This bait can and will catch multiple species of fish from ice-out to end of season, depending on cadence changes and other presentation factors. However, it's not quite as "popular" in northern regions ...

This might be the quote of the week right here.

Hope you enjoyed your Ottawa River fish - was it flavorful? http://www.ottawasun.com/2015/07/06/canada-day-downpours-push-sewage-into-ottawa-river On the off-chance my comment was perceived as an "insult", it was supposed to be a joke. I guess they aren't funny when you have to clarify, s...

Holy crap!! Great job keeping them alive. Quite a few people making comments about fish mortality lately. We are fishing. Not trapping. We are putting their lives in danger and we know full well that it could end the life of any fish we catch. That being said, most of us do all we can to make sure ...

Dr. Bruce Tufts talked about this a little at the last bass seminar Paddletales put on. It was quite interesting to say the least. He did indeed mention it. The product in question was Mountain Dew. Apparently it works like a charm to stop bleeding, on contact with the fish. Quite incredible. I'll ...

Rideau River near Kars was extremely tough on Saturday. Blazing hot sun, a huge amount of boat traffic, lack of water clarity. None of that put me off, should have been able to slam a few and I don't make excuses ever, but there just wasn't anything big biting. Never mind I had bass jumping around m...
