This was the 3rd time I was fishing at Sarnia but the first time I took my boat

We were off to Sarnia on the 11th to try for some Walleye and Tim Birch and Chris Corbett pulled in behind us at the ramp it's a small world, we followed Chris and Tim out and tried a bunch of different drifts before Ottie caught the 1st Walleye in my boat then the 2nd and 3rd he ended up with 5 Walleye and 1 Sheephead on a Green jig and plastic that Chris gave us and I was using a Brown and White Jig and plastic so I finally changed over to a Green as well and caught 1 Walleye and 1 Sheephead before the bite ended there were some boats around us catching a few Walleye as well.

Took a drive to Lake Simcoe for Perch and found a Smallmouth Bass

Tried to find some Perch on a very windy day but instead we found an ice hut in 22' of water with this Smallie sitting around it lol, we'll have to go back again to see if we can figure them out, moved around from 10' to 40' on the west side of Cook's Bay. First time trying for them this time of year.

Sometimes you go Fishing sometimes you do something to help the next time you go

Every once in a while I'll go out to do some mapping a local Lake and this was one of those days but I marked a lot of fish and had to drop down at least once before heading home, nice Sunny.

Is this a Brown or a Yellow Bullhead and a Sunfish

I went out for a couple hours and tried a bunch of techniques and the blade bait was what worked today and when it started raining harder I drove around and did a bit of mapping to tighten up the lines around the bigger drops and other structure. Is this a Brown Bullhead or a Yellow Bullhead.

This is my Prize Pack for the Big Fish Showdown held from Aug 1 to Oct 31 2026

Sounds like there could be another one next year and if there is I'll definitely be joining in, I entered 5 of the 8 categories and next year I'll be trying to get into all 8. Monica did a Great Job running it.

Thanx and Tight Lines Fishing 

    

Uncle Mike from Fishing Friendzy Foundation - Youth Fishing League reached out to see about a few hours out fishing

Mikey needed a day on the water and we caught a few before he had to pick up the kids and go to a Parent Teacher interview so I covered a bunch of new and used water after he left lol. Blackfly Lures Buzzbait 4 Blade with Clacker Chartreuse started off right were I left off yesterday. 1st a Largie and then shortly after a nice Pike started following in the shallows and it hammered it, Mike started with a white spinnerbait then switched to one with chartreuse and he started catching them too. After our 1st one each we didn't take pictures of the smaller ones as it got really windy and we couldn't be bothered lol. I ended up catching a 20.75" Smallie while Mike was there and a 21" Smallmouth Bass after he had left and it started to rain a little harder and when I looked behind me I saw a wall of Rain coming so I decide to pack it in for the day after being on the water for 18 of the last 22 days, this might be my new record number of days in like 3 weeks.

Buzzbaits ROCK

Watched the wake behind the BUZZBAIT before it hit BAM

20.75" Smallie

21" Smallie I love Crankbaits this time of year

This was a Topwater kind of day Choppo's and Buzzbaits

I switched to a Choppo and caught this 19+lb Pike and Bonnie caught her Largemouth on a Choppo as well before we switched to Panfish and caught a nice number of Crappie with the biggest being over 11".Bonnie had to leave so I dropped her off and switched up to a Buzzbait 4 Blade with Clacker in Chartreuse then White and then the Metal Buzzbait Black with a Gold Blade. This was a Blackfly Lures kind of day as well switching over to a Big BassTard Flash Series in Black/Orange to finish the day off. Back at it tomorrow 17 days out of  21 days in a row so far.

Double Header

4 days in a row in November with Shorts and Sandals on lol.

A Multi Species day with a bunch of Techniques used

There were a few Largemouth Bass caught and lots of Crappie and a few Bluegill and Perch caught before Bonnie had to leave, then I bounced around trying a bunch of techniques but only caught small Smallmouth Bass and other panfish. Swammers on a belly weighted hook and a Tokyo Rig caught most of the bass and small Jigs with plastic or vibratos caught most of the Panfish.
