Weather depending - as you mention, you are in a tinny - there is great smallie fishing off of the islands across from the trout run (Turnip Island, Trout island, etc..). If you can, get to Rideau Ferry, the bass are plentiful. Learning to fish there is the key. Mostly largies, but a ton of fun. Cra...

Great report TMH.... What you missed...serious laker action all week. For the seven days, we were shut out only once. Landed 21 (lakers) in our boat, including our double header (unbelievable!!) on Sunday. Water temps ruled the day, and the second week up there will do well, I am sure. It was 45 whe...

Big Jim... For a guy, who is battling like you are, to take time out to thank others speaks volumes to your character. You are a credit to our society, and to us as fishermen, a legend in our culture. The "THANKS" go to you, for all you have provided us to date and in the future. As you kn...

Great topic and excellent posts. Thanks guys. Thanks TMN for starting this great thread. When we are up there, we generally use riggers. With the winter we had, I thought we might be able to cast for them still (as we did our first year) but the ice is coming off quicker than I'd like. Given what I ...

Thanks to all....I'll be walking....just waiting to find out in what kind of weather. Hope the wind holds off until later in the day.

TMH...sent you a PM.

Thanks again.

Be well,

Thanks for the quick reply TMH. Incidentally, saw some sweet pics with you and Bender after a walleye day on the BOQ in the fall. Nice...

Are there any beaten paths out to the water on Shirleys, or is it all just tire tracks?

Again, appreciate the help..

Hi there;

Just wondering about the situation at Shirley's right now....thinking of heading out on Sunday morning and wondering if I can drive (4WD) out, or if there is too much snow.

I appreciate any information you can provide....

Thanks a lot!

It probably is missing some...I wouldn't know. I was simply trying to help with a reference I had found on the web.

I encourage others to fill in the gaps wrt more local and convenient ramps. That way, we all benefit from it.

Tight lines,

Found this on the web....maybe it will help?

Welcome to the board Andy. Personally, I read WAY more than I post because there is so much to learn. I started fishing the Bay 3 years ago, based on what I read here. The techniques and bait advice are excellent. The guys here are generous and kind in their sharing. I have gotten a PB every year to...

Troller;

If I can dodge the elbows on the way to the back of the boat (and the foot stomps when he sees it's a sheepy), I will be happy to net Bender's fish.

Sorry to hear of the misfortune EE. When we met at Bits and Baits last Saturday, I hoped you would be reporting success on Wednesday evening. Hopefully, you have better luck at the end of the month. I will be staying with Bender and a few other lads at Merlands during the last weekend in October. If...

Hope to see you down there EE.

Look for the crew.....Bender and I will be there....Adolphus by day, Shermans by night...

Tight lines,

I was wondering when I might see your post bender....

Good luck this weekend, but let's hope for better luck for the following weekend!

Tight lines...

Dave; Once you start using your trolling motor, just to move from weedline to weedline, you will not want to stop. I attribute many of my fish to the stealthiness of the trolling motor. Ringing up that 9.9 to get around can spook any fish in the area. My advice is to get the deep cycle battery and t...
