Bittersweet Symphony


First off I couldn't have asked for a better weekend to close the cottage; perfect weather, friends, food and fun! I got a late start to the weekend and got to the cottage around 6:30PM. We headed out to Neighbors Restaurant to have some dinner and came back to sit by the fire and warm up the cottage.



 I decided to head out and try and get some night pics. It was a nice clear night and the lights from the US were nice and bright.



 Saturday morning we slept in a bit and heading out on the water after a nice big breakfast. Homemade pancakes mmm... The water was perfect and so were the temps.



 I went out to a pike spot to get some casting out of the way before the kids started to complain. First time this year that I didn't even get a follow. So off we went to get into some non stop perch action. I only wanted about a dozen keepers so I headed to a spot that would be non stop action all day but smaller perch.

Jacob didn't want to fish at first so he was in charge of the fish counter



 So began the action. turned out I was wrong about the sizes that we would be catching, we caught a lot of decent fish.

 Sam's 12" 



Jamie's 12.5" 



Jamie's 13.5" that was too big for him to hold!!!          



I even managed some MONSTER bass



After a bit Shawn arrived and Ryan shortly after that





 Talk about stealing a guys fishing spot lol    

Some random pics







 I managed to get a catfish with a 4" Gulp Alive, slimy disgusting things!





 It was time to head in around 2PM and our perch count for 3 hours was 206 perch, not bad. Definitely hit my yearly goal of 1000 fish in the boat!!!

It was an amazing weekend that won't be forgotten and I hate saying goodbye to the beach for the winter! Bittersweet if you ask me.





Thanks for reading,

NokOut Product Review

I was given the chance a while ago to test out a new product called "NokOut". It is a scent eliminator llike some that you may see in the hunting department of your local outdoor sports store. But this stuff works! I figured the best way to test this out is to do it slowly over time in real life situations, not the normal little experiments. With 2 boys and two big dogs at home it was

Salmon Fishing & Facts of Fishing Kids Day

I was asked to help out at Dave Mercer's Facts of Fishing kids day at Ontario Place and we decided to hit up a river to go Salmon fishing before it started. Ryan picked me up in Cambridge at 4:45 and we headed to the Credit to try and get some salmon at the mouth.  We started out trolling spoons for a bit and chatted away with no luck  Ryan's dad decided to

I can see clearly now the fog is gone, Lake 0ntario August 27th

I met up with my buddy Matt at 4:30AM. After a quick inventory and coffee stop we were off to meet Pikeslayer. Arrived at the launch just before 6AM and got the boat in the water. We didn't really think the fog was as bad as it was until we got out a bit. It was THICK!!!  The fog stuck around for a while but Simon got all the rods setup quickly. It was nice to just sit back
