OT: Fishing (and other outdoors pursuits) this Off-Season?

[Canadian Finn]

View attachment 244283 View attachment 244285 I'm fortunate enough to live a couple hours drive from Lake Nipigon. I have a few 3-4 day trips planned soon.

There's a face I haven't seen on the 'net for a while

 

[Canadian Finn]

And yes, I fish.

It is my biggest hobby.

Largies in Zone 10 (or Eastern Ontario). Salmon in Lake O (as well as Browns in the spring). Walleye in Erie. Smallies in Simcoe. Muskie in St Clair. Brookies in Nipigon. Catfish in the Grand. Pike from Prince Edward County.

I take advantage of everything our beautiful province has to offer.

I have fished a lot on Simcoe, jumbo perch in the narrows early spring , whitefish opener, huge pike in Cooks Bay, smallies around Beaverton area, Lakers out in the lake by kempefelt bay

Well I crushed them today on my home lake. I've put in a lot of time figuring out this lake over the last 2 seasons and it's now paying off. I put a 20lb 5 fish limit in the boat in 4 hours. I found a school of big fish on a point with some gravel and brush piles in 14ft of water. They were crushing a deep crank and football jig. The ones pictured weighed 4lbs 9oz, 4lbs 7oz, and 4lbs 2oz

Favourite summer past time. Fish alot for pike, musky, and bass back home on manitoulin. Mcgregor bay is great for all species. Like fishing in bai fin and fraser bay as well. Beautiful scenery with the lacloche mountain range

I live on the Bay of Quinte so I get to fish a lot.

P.S. Don't eat the fish out of the Bay.

I have caught some huge walleye there, nice place to fish

Awaiting my wife to wake up so we can head out the door for largies this morning.

My favorite fishing

• trolling lake Ontario for salmon, rainbows, launching at the Leslie Street Spit
• Lake Simcoe smallmouth and jumbo perch fishing
• Lake Nipissing walleye fishing

yeah. you catch tons of walleye on Nipissing just hardly any that are in slot size anymore

Cool, last year his limit would have been 2, so things are looking up in Georgian Bay. Last year the wife and I caught just over 400 smallies, largemouth and pike. This year with the high water we don't know where the bulk of them are and we will be lucky to catch 200.



Biggest bass last year 21.5 inches long . We estimate 6 lbs, no scale and live released it.

Quinte Winter Walleye in the reach used to be an amazing fishery.

Still isn't bad, but a shadow of what it once was.

If you're ever up in the area again hit Wellers Bay by Consecon. The boat launch is off Stinson Block Road. If you like Walleye you can thank me later

Has anyone fished the watershed area between Timmins and Sudbury? I’m headed to a small lake there called Bagsverd, I fished it once a couple years ago on the May long weekend, lots of smaller pike but then me and my buddy each caught a 5+ pound walleye. I find it more satisfying catching a nice fish out of a smaller lake lol

 

[Fogelhund]

Up near Timmins

Apparently I cant load images from my phone from up here.

Nothing huge, but a couple above 10lbs, which isn’t bad for this time of year from kayaks and canoe.

Nice

Planning to do a fishing trip at Lake Dalrymple with some people. Used to be a very good lake to fish 16 years ago, but havent been since. Any feedback is much appreciated,

I'm currently in Bali, and it cost a little more than I wanted but I managed to get out for some bottom trawling in the Indian Ocean near Nusa Penida.

Went out with this real old school Balinese cat who's been fishing the waters for over thirty years, man didn't speak much English but we chilled and smoked cigarettes in the sun as things started slow, but eventually they turned...

Took a few of the reds and the whites back to the hotel, they'll fry them up for dinner.

Ahh the legend of Rice Lake grows....You boys keep on fishin there though

In all honesty that lake was probably done 20 years ago. Its nowhere near as good as it was in the 70's and 80's. I havnt been back in years but I hope the few known camping spots are still surviving. Many stories on that lake...

Last few years at my cottage spot on Lake Noemsayin ive pulled out a few PB's of largemouth and pike. The lake is so diverse with random rocks popping up out of nowhere (ask my prop), downed trees along the shoreline and many many weedy bays. It even gets stocked with fish via a plane that flies over and opens the bomb gates lol.

If i wasnt content enough, theres a sister lake connected thats unpopulated and a short 20-30 minute portage. Happy days

My lack of patience and ADHD prohibits be to partake in such events.

We’ll be up at a cottage on Rice Lake next week in Hastings. Anybody catching anything near or around it? We didn’t get much last year, but it was sweltering hot. Supposed to be high 70’s/mid 80’s next week with a little rain mixed in.

Discouraging to hear about Rice Lake, but from Hastings, you’re not right in it. Hoping someone’s been out this year, and could help me with some tips to pull some in this year. My nephew and my sister-in-law caught a couple smallies (surprise, surprise, the non-fishers catch the fish), but that was it.

I've been working like a dog here all spring and summer doing a rush job and haven't gotten fishing for my walleye and pike. I would love to know how i can show some fish my young kids have caught previously but I'm tech dummy . The kids are itching to go smash some big puke and me also

I release all big fish and keep nice little morsels for eating. Hopefully i can figure out how to up a couple pics for you's.
