Goderich Great Lakes Custom Knife Show and Pickle Daddy

This was my second year going to this show and there were a lot of people that came to look and buy a Knife, Sword and even a Handmade Bow. Bill took some pickle's last year and they were a big hit and he sold out and this year he took more and still sold out with people putting orders in if/when he makes another batch, he picked up more pickles yesterday and will be making more tomorrow with people already asking can you drop some off or ship them to Me lol.

Dropping Down On Their Heads Reaction Bite

Last minute decision to hit the lake on Tuesday and 15 minutes later I'm launching my boat and right away I mark a fish on the bottom and drop down and set the hook and Mr. Walleye was in the boat. Switched it up between Panfish and Bigger Game Fish as I checked out the lake for my trip on Wednesday. Was bit off a few minutes later and lost a Smallmouth with a poor hook set and it jumped and was gone. Flipp'n Jigs, Texas Rigs, Football Heads, Spinnerbaits, Nomad Bladed Jigs and small Jigs with Plastic were all part of the plan.

The Whytocks Boys come back for a visit

It's been a couple years but the Whytock boys like to get out fishing when they come back from Alberta, first it was 1 of them with Jackson, the next time 2 of them with Jackson and this time 3 of them with Jackson lol and it was mentioned that I was a good man to attempt to take all 4 of them out together lol. For everyone that knows Ben there dad it was like Ben on Steroids lol, lots of laughs, plenty of fish and they wanted to stay until dark so dark it was. They also wanted McDonalds too but that was in the wrong direction maybe next time lol. You know it's going to be interesting when the first thing you hear is I like to ask a lot of questions and he did. Ben did mention I had him on speed dial and if anyone acted up they would be picked up and I mention or be thrown in with the sharks and used as bait.

It's been about 12 years I've been taking Robert now Robbie then out Fishing

There were a bunch of Panfish caught but they were all small so we didn't take any pictures but this little Bass was screaming take my picture lol. The water was around 83 degrees a we found some Robert had a bit of a problem getting the hooks in them, lots of techniques were used and Spinnerbaits and Flipp'n put a bunch in the boat.

Robbie/Robert wanted a picture of this big one

This is what you get when you book a Take A Kid Fishing Trip

Now this was A FUN trip, it started out as a 3 hour trip and ended up to be about a 5 hour trip, no one wanted to leave. QUOTE.  (My kids absolutely LOVED IT! They have told all their friends about it. The youngest on the trip, birthday is next week and he asked for a new fishing rod and tackle box. Thanks again for everything! Definitely a highlight of their summer.) That's all you can ask for it puts a smile in my face. Small Jigs and Plastics were used to catch them all with a little bit of scent added and yes scent makes a difference.

Always nice when the Smallmouth come out to play

The first Smallie was caught on a Blackfly Lures Hex Blade in Banana Curse, there were a bunch of smaller ones too but they didn't get their pictures taken lol. The water temp was 81 degrees so I switched over to the Texas Rigs and Flipp'n Jigs and they helped put a few in the boat as well and I left just before the fireworks was going to be set off.

Kids learning to cast at a Church Youth Group Meeting in Lucknow

I was asked a while ago to speak at a Youth Club about fishing and I took a few SpinCasting, Spinning and BaitCasting rod and reel combos for them to try using and this happened lol. How long would it take for you to get this out these pictures were taken 1 minute apart not bad and saved cutting it all off and respooling, lots of picking and a few patience helps and a few tricks. I didn't notice there was a problem until I was taking them out of the truck the next day lol someone was maybe worried they did something wrong, it would have been a good lesson to show them how to get it out, always use Braid when you're learning as it won't kink and make a weak spot like Mono and Flouro will.

I was too be there 6:30 until 8pm and it was 9:30 by the time I was ready to pack up, some of the youth and parents stayed later to talk and a few people out walking stopped by as well, we started outside and planned on heading inside but the casting went so well that they brought chairs our to the sidewalk and I used my tailgate to set all the tackle and my lifejacket to talk about different baits for different species from panfish, Bass, Pike, Musky etc and Safety about wearing a Lifejacket and Sunglasses to incase of falling in or lures/hooks coming back around your eyes.

This was fixed in 1 minute lol
