There has been so much hype about the A-rig, I just had to see what it was all about, plus I like trying new things. I was surprised at how easy it was to cast and retrieve. I used a four armed A-rig (legal in Ontario) with jig heads and paired it up with 'swammers' from X-Zone which you can purchase both from Canada's online fishing store, Tacklestock.com. www.tacklestock.com .

It was a windy day on my favourite lake. We managed to get between 60-70 perch caught on 'buckshots' and X-Zone pan slammers. X-Zone can be purchased at www.tacklestock.com .
Super hot summer in southern Ontario, just the way I like it.

Surf fishing was a great experience. I caught my first salt water fish. If it has fins and it swims it counts!
Catching blue crabs at Murrels Inlet, South Carolina was so much fun that I can't wait to go back to the south and do it all again!
Toronto Spring Fishing and Boat Show had everything that every angler needed to get ready for this upcoming season.

The 2010 Bass Pro Shops Lake Simcoe Open Tournament set a new record. It was a priviledge to witness a 31.5 lb bag of smallies weighed in by Joe Muszynski and Mark Moran. Another highlight was an 8.05 smallmouth bass weighed in by James Paluch and Shaun McKay for big fish.
Bass Pro Shops Lake Simcoe Open Tournament is Canada's premier one day bass tournament. It draws professional anglers to test their best bass knowledge against mother nature in the quest to set an all time Canadian record for the heaviest 5 bass weighed in.
Muskellunge otherwise known as Muskys are another one of my favourites to catch. Most of mine have been caught on a Swimwhizz Bait, others have been caught on a Spinnerbait. Try the Kawartha Lakes in Ontario for these fun fish.
Clear water smallies are what I like best. Lake Erie and Lake Simcoe are home to some of the biggest smallmouths in my area.
Late spring is a great time to catch White Bass. Use light tackle such as a spinning reel and rod. Use minnows, or soft plastics that resemble minnow baits such as paddletails or grubs. We launched out of Hoover Marina and went east to Nanticoke Powerplant on Lake Erie.
Carrie Cartwright is a WFN Ambassador and has received a Top Ambassador Award. Her favourite fishing memory is when she was left on the dock while her Dad, Uncle and brother took the boat out. Carrie was the only one to catch a fish that evening! Since that moment she's been hooked. Carrie has had the pleasure of competing in bass tournaments against Canada's Professional Anglers and has also volunteered for Catch A Dream and Fish-A-Thon for a Cure.
