Uncle Bass and I made it out Friday night

It might have just been for a few hours but that's all it took to get these nice ones in the boat. I stopped into see Mikey at his house in Wingham and mentioned I was heading fishing later and he was able to join me for a few hours to get is lines wet. Mikey biggest Largie came off of a piece of wood shallow and the bigger Smallie came off of a deep weed clump that we marked and he tossed backwards and let it sink and boom the bigger Smallmouth smoked it. I had a big explosion on my buzzbait that knocked it into the air and we were drifting away and Mikey asked if I was going to take another cast but I was out of position so I turn the trolling motor head and pushed backwards and said go for it, he put his frog about 10' away from were it happened and immediately set the hook on a nice Largemouth Bass and at the same time we heard a lot of cheering across the lake and one of the ladies caught a nice Largie at the same time, beautiful night to be out and as it was getting dark we headed back to the dock to load the boat up and head home.

Wednesday was a bit longer than usual but it was a FUN Day

Dan and Daniel came up from London to spend the day we were at the lake at 8 am and I got back home at 8:20 pm, the weather was great and we bounced around targeting Bass and Crappie and caught a bunch of both and we used quite a few techniques putting them in the boat. We did spend quite a while getting them into Flipp'n with Jigs and Texas Rigs both being successful after a bit of trial and error lol. After finding the Crappie with the Active Target I let Daniel have some FUN watching his jig meet the Crappie and feeling the hit as he seen them eat it. We bounced around from shallow to outside weed beds to deep structure that's scattered throughout the lake. It was a Great Day and I'm sure they'll be getting out again maybe even soon they said.

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.

Straight Shooting and Tight Lines Fishing

Bill had 1 Knife last year and these were all made and sold this year, mine is in the top right corner and it Glows 






He has another name Pickle Daddy

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.
