July 7, 2008 - Got my second muskie of the season. 18.8lbs. Just missed getting a picture of her airbourne with the sunset in the background.
July 6, 2008 - Got my first muskie of the season. Put on a good show. 12.1lbs. Lousy pic because I was alone.
July 2 to 5, 2008 - Wes and I had the whole week off to fish. Water levels are so high the forest is flooded. We found largemouth bass right at the edge of the woods, tucked right into the stumps and branches. Smallmouth were inhabiting the lilypads. Having a lot of fun with gar too. We made a couple of rope lures and had a blast.
July 1, 2008 - Water levels are extremely high and the water is cool. The large bass are huddled up in the warm water of back bays, away from the current. If you see gar, there will be largemouth bass too.
Winter, 2007 - No Monsters but lots of walleye, pike and perch. Didn't use any live bait this season, only plastic baits.
October 1 & 3, 2007 - Spent two days fishing a couple of small lakes west of the city. Caught a ton of bass but nothing over 3 lbs. Both lakes offered acres of stumps and logs which held multitudes of largemouth bass. Big plastic tubes seemed to be the choice bait each day.
Tuesday October 2, 2007 - First cast of the day gets the big one of the week; a 5.8 lb largemouth bass from the Ottawa River. A spinner bait got it along with several other quality bass that day. Still lots of weeds out there and the water is warmer than what one would expect for this time of year.
September 8 & 9, 2007 - Georges Marine holds their annual Nitro / Tracker fishing tournament on Golden Lake. Cathy and I took second place in the pike division with a total of 21 lbs. Missed first place by .9 of a pound.
Our son Wes placed second in the children's bass division.
Sunday September 2, 2007 - A nice little Ottawa River muskie. Only 13 lbs but strong and acrobatic.
Tuesday August 28, 2007 - Another 4.7lb largemouth is big bass of the week.
Tuesday August 21, 2007 - 4.7lb largemouth is the big bass for this week.
Sunday July 15, 2007 - 4.9lb largemouth is this week's big bass.
Sunday January 7, 2007 - Global warming - Normally I would be ice fishing today but people are out water skiing today!
