    Off Topic AC Shiners finally arrive

    Yeah! they caught lots of fish over the years. The balsa wood AC's out produced the Rapala. That said, when I tried my first Rapala, probably 65 years ago, I thought they should be outlawed because they were so much better than any other bait I had ever tried. The only problem now is that I...

    Off Topic Good night Wellcraft and hello Jon boat

    Agree with Old Cut LongPointer Jim. I hunted the Unit for a lot of years and the only boating accidents I remember involved Jon Boats. Fortunately nobody was seriously hurt but at least one gun was lost and I was involved in the decoy recovery a few times. I also witnessed two of the...

    Fishing Report Perch - St Williams - Monday, Oct 23rd

    Used the bow mount electric on anchor mode and the sonar was showing 5.6 to 7.1 feet of water. I guess when we swung over the bottom vegetation it indicated the lessor amount. When I pressed the anchor button the sonar was showing 7.3.

    Fishing Report Perch - St Williams - Monday, Oct 23rd

    Probably the last day for 2023. Not much for hard water fishing. Three of us got 60 nice perch today, mostly in the afternoon once the wind came up to 5 to10 mph. The morning was calm and s-l-o-w. We quit at 2:00 pm. Albert got cold and we had enough fish. We launched at Collins but bought...

    Fishing Report Perching (again) Oct 18/023

    Congratulations! Like you said, it doesn't get much better. More than enough to eat and your back should survive filleting 20 fish. That said, my back was giving out with a lot less.

    Fishing Report Perch - LPB St Williams - Tuesday, Oct 17th

    Yeah! Haven't been able to get out much with my own boat this past season. Thankfully Emil invited me out walleye fishing in Burwell a few times. Couldn't contribute much other than drive the boat but it was still great to be out there and participate. Hope 2024 is better.

    Fishing Report Perch - LPB St Williams - Tuesday, Oct 17th

    Launched at Collins and fished for approx. 3-1/2 hours with shiner minnows, using spoons and a drop shot rig. Lots of dinks but the two of us also caught 28 nice keepers from 8 to 10 or 11". Not great, but we started with spoons as attractors. Last time out that presentation was dynamite but...

    Off Topic AC Shiner Lures (Solid Balsa vs Solid Cedar)

    Like you, I've used the balsa wood version for over 40 years and seriously doubt that the cedar version would compare when used to target the same species of fish. The heavier body bait would probably be better for musky or pike that simply destroy the original.

    Fishing Report Perch - St Williams - Friday, Sept 29th

    I tried the Inner Bay for perch this morning with usual partner Albert and my neighbor Brian. We left Simcoe at about 8:00 am and launched at Collin's Marina. The first couple of hours were tough and we even kept a few fish under our 8" minimum size so we could say we weren't skunked. With a...

    Fishing Report LPB Lighthouse - Walleye/Bow - Tuesday, Aug29th

    Thanks for the repost Scotts. I guess I should have switched to an AC Shiner or at least a similar Rapala. I stuck with my favorite spoons and even tried worms while Albert was catching all the fish. I had 3 AC's in my box but not the same color as Albert's. Sounds like your AC worked but...

    Fishing Report LPB Lighthouse - Walleye/Bow - Tuesday, Aug29th

    Tried LPB for the first time this season with usual partner Albert. We headed to Piggott's Post and circled deeper towards the Lighthouse. The weather was about as good as it gets. We trolled using riggers and dipsy's for 3 hours and caught 4 walleye and one Bow. Most came off an A.C. Shiner...

    Fishing Report Burwell - Monday, August 21st.

    Yeah, We started a long way out at 58' and trolled to the 63 foot level. We were down about 40 - 50' most of the time with a fancy custom painted Ripplin Redfin doing the best ( Big colored dots) . The most and biggest walleye were caught at the start of 63 fow. My legs are still sore from...

    Fishing Report Burwell - Monday, August 21st.

    I was invited to join "Ice Fisherman" Emil, his eldest son and long time mutual fishing buddy, Paul "Plau64" this morning at Burwell. Hope I have Paul's handle right. We ended up with 24 "keeper" walleye and 1 sheep-head by 9:10 am. Not even a breeze when we started but pretty bumpy coming...
