August 10 I made a trip to the #blackflylures in Acton

Picking up some of these & had doubles or triples or more of some of them at the 3 Toronto & London Spring Fishing Shows, was getting low or running out of some of the more popular ones I needed to stock up. 

Headed to Acton to http://www.blackflylures.com/ to have a tour of the shop & pick up a bunch of Tackle, between Steve & I this is what I ended up bringing home.

Aug 11/16

Wanted to try the new Musky lures today to see how they looked in the water so I took an extra heavy flipp'n stick with an Ardent Apex Magnum spooled with 65lb Power Pro & tied a 60 lb Flouro leader about 2.5' long & went to the Teeswater River but 1st I through a new to me colour of Spinnerbait the Orange & White & on the 2nd cast this little guy hit it, I had another little one hit the blades but didn't hook up, I really like the looks of this one it'll be tied on the next trip out, tried the #blackfly Lures Spoon next & snagged on the far side so I waded through to retrieve it & then put on the new Blackfly Flash Dancer Silver/Black Blade & it looks really nice coming through the water, need to make it out to give this a try too.

Pre planning didn't workout

Last night everything was tied on & ready to go Flipp'n & Pitch'n with a little top water for today but the bass & pike had different ideas, started flipp'n a jig & a pike wanted it wosrt than I did gone, creature baits no luck, frog hit & missed, Flapp'n Shad hit & miss & then a pike wanted it too, change things up & started throughing #BlackflyLures Spinnerbaits & things changed around Malcolm was using Orange & Purple & I was using White triple blades & here is what we caught with about 5 or 6 more hitting the blades & about that many follows to the boat but no takers on any follow up baits, nice to see a couple CO's out at the ramp checking a couple guys for licence that were fishing from shore.

Needed a few hours on the water tonight

It was a long day, up at 6am off to St Thomas for a Visitation & Funeral to say good bye to Uncle Friday (Orland), tried flipp'n 1st & lost a jig on the fall thanx to a pike, & caught this one.

Switched over to a buzzbait & caught a few.

Flapp'n Shad ended the night caught a few about the same size, only 2 pictures as my camera died, it was very peaceful even with a few boats flying around the lake.

One of my new shirts arrived today & got a workout too.

What do you think I like it & had a few nice comments on it as well, 

I had a couple on the Blackfly Lures Spinnerbait, XPS Crankbait, Bassmagnets Tube & a wacky rigged worm & 1 on the Whopper Plopper 90. Thanx Ish Monroe picked them up at the Spring Fishing Show Bass Unniversity classes. 

Robbie wasn't touching fish today so this is his picture, caught on a Torpedo had another one in the boat cught on a tube & didn't let me take a picture & had one on a Spinnerbait that came about 3' out of the water & said good bye lol.

The #Ardent Apex Grand, Elite & C-Force reels & #Blackflylures Spinnerbaits worked great again today. Used #Ardent , St Croix & Shimano rods.

Follow me on Facebook now too.

Decided to post less fishing on my personal account check it out & give it a Like.

3rd day fishing with Robbie on Bruce County Lakes

Dave & I both took our boats to Southampton & headed north about 3:20 & fished until about 9:00, Dave caught about half a dozen Smallies with a few 15" to 17", my selfies are almost always a waste of time with 1 of the 1st 3 Smallies that you could make out in the picture and the other 2 were all bright , it was a little slow at 1st but than the Crankbaits were working & a few on the Spinnerbaits as well. I lost a few on drop shots at the net.

Robbie needed the broken rod in the picture as well lol, another one of my rods done, makes for 2 after 3 he's going for a swim.

After playing with the Torpedo beside the boat with maybe 5' of line out I said why don't you through that 30' behind the boat & when it hit the water there was a huge flush & a miss as he sets the hook & reels like crazy I told he to fire it back out & after about 10' or 20' he was one very happy boy. 1st top water Bass & he claims another 1 of my lures.

Fishing Friendzy at the CNE again & looking for Volunteers

Another day on a Bruce County Lake

Spinnerbaits were king today most of the day, my biggest were 19" & 19.25" and all the #Ardent Denny Brauer rods & Apex Grand, Apex Elite & Apex Pro reels worked great to bring most of them in with a few #Blackfly Lures Spinnerbait being used too.

We know who's not taking pictures next time lol

My only Pike was with #Ardent Edge Rod & C-Force Spinning Reel with #Gliss 18lb line on a tube jig, Dad caught one Pike later but no picture he throw it back in as I was getting my camera out lol.

These 2 were very full

Things switched over to Crankbaits later in the day, here are a few pictures & there were lots of smaller ones caught but no pictures taken, very nice to see the different year classes throughout the lake.

This looks smaller than it was Dad's biggest was 19.25" too.
