Went fishin' today.

Small earth worms, single super egg roe or a kernal of corn, pencil float bobber.
Works fer me.
Tell the kiddo not to pull too hard to set the hook...lil' trout have soft mouths.

 

Thanks, will let you know how that goes

 

Inland lakes here are all too hot now so we are not fishing much. I have long wanted to fish Lake Nippising as I have lures over there that are catching some huge fish. We have fished all over Ontario including Cliff lake, Fluke Lake and Lac Suel. I want to fish Lake of the Woods, Eagle Lake and Pipestone before I expire. Canada has some excellent Musky fishing.

 

Skip Eagle Lake, it's "meh".
If you do Nip, you can also do Trout Lake on the other side of town by NORAD CFB North Bay for lake trout. You got the gear...it's a pretty straight down rig troll from what I'm told...I fished mostly Nip in a cheapo 17ft fiberglass with a beasty old 50hp and mostly for Pics (Walleye). Seen giant sturgeon swim past the boat with chunk out of their backs from props. Nailed a ton of N Pike and a few muskies when the Pics stop biting....they have a very timed morning and night bite - maybe a 2hr limit out or catch nothing all day...for Walleye that is...worm and white jig head right on the bottom...tap tap sit...tap tap sit. Pike and muskie have their own schedule and will hit anything that you can annoy them with. Got a 32 inch N Pike on a friggen panther martin one day...bouncing it off a rock from shore tryin for bass by the psych hospital...
North Bay people are pretty friendly too...just tip your hat to a stranger and they'll prolly strike up a conversation with ya...don't count on'em knowing how to fish Nip unless they are native though. Best greasy spoon to eat at before going fishin..."The White Owl" on Lakeshore Dr open at 5am.

 

Got my fingers crossed for a good Fraser sockeye and pink run.....

 

Ya I suppose sockeye are the best eaters but I aint crazy aboot they way they're fished on the Fraser...."flossing" seems more like "snagging" to me and not very sporty cuz the fish don't strike.

skip to aboot 2 minutes in

 

Hot weather huh? Well I got a Buckeye fishing tip. Any Ohio Monkeys not to far from Grand Lake St. Marys ....

Out there in the center right on the chart is the Rock Pile. Take 5 or 6 dozen small minnows out there and fish the lee side as the wind shifts 4 to 8 ft deep under a bobber. You will catch tons of Crappie. This is a hot spot in HOT weather.
