Nice! Do you have spot lock with your trolling motor? What do you do to keep the jig vertical and stop yourself from drifting? I'm heading out for lakers next Friday and want to spend more time jigging and less trolling. I have no trolling motor at all. My boat is a 15ft aluminum with 15hp tiller s...

Very nice ! Appreciate the report. That's pretty amazing that the Trout followed your spoon right to surface considering the water temps...it must've been hungry ! How deep were you jigging for them ? This year they were deeper it seemed. 80-120ft was my prime depth. They were also not chasing the ...

I went out Saturday morning on the big Rideau for trout opener. Got out a little later than I wanted didn’t get fishing until 7. But I still found them!! Started the morning jigging and landed 2 right away. IMG_4572.jpeg IMG_4487.jpeg Got them on the new magnum jigging rap. Caught a few more but the...

Lots of lakes in Quebec are crazy with their prices! I have a family cottage on the lake I mostly fish luckily. But exploring New lakes can get expensive.

I’ve been getting out alot this spring for landlocked salmon. Mostly targeting them and not the lakers. First 2 weeks of the season 35-45ish water temps. Casting spoons in the current at the mouth of a river and trolling small crank baits on flatlines was working good. Depth was 10ft all the way to ...

From one of the few bodies of water they stock in zone 18.

Me and my good buddy Chris got out for some Lake Ontario lakers last weekend. Trip started for me Saturday with getting the boat out from winter storage and motors on the back and all the gear ready. Sunday was the day tho winds were looking perfect gear was loaded gonna be a good day. I left Ottawa...

Did my first full day of ice fishing Sunday. Left my place at 4:45 hit the road in the snow and it seemed too pay off. Started the morning with a long walk to the spot we wanted too fish. We set up in 18-25ft of on the drop off from about 10ft down too 25-30. The mroning started busy with lots of go...

I’ve spent a lot of time and effort chasing trout and it really has paid off this time.

Been laking on my post and I’m about to post my first ice fishing post so figured I’d do my late summer fall recap. Starting the start of August I s made a couple trips up too the swisha dam to do some walleye fishing. Me and my buddy Chris had a good first trip up there. We mostly trolled cranks or...

Orange and brown plastic swim bait. Not large either about 5in.

I’ve been trying to get myself an urban/close too home musky for a while now. Being in Ottawa I have to option Rideau river and Ottawa river. I decided to target Rideau river. Mostly fishing Mooneys bay down to Dows Lake. I like to pack light and cover as much water as possible. There’s walking path...

30” laker I got trolling this weekend. 75ft of water Downrigger at 60ft with a 3” black and white spoon.

That’s the size I run. Perch colours seem to work good. I do upsize the tremble and put on a high quality one. I don’t have spot lock either but I use a tiller boat. So I keep the motor running and just back into the wind and shift between forward and reverse as needed. Takes some practice. I’ve als...
