I had a few days open, so I decided to head to Lake Ontario with Rick for some Salmon action. The weather really held out as we had most of our time on the water in little to no wind. The waves & weather started to act up on the last morning, but we were heading home anyway. Probably about 12 Salmon and a few Lakers were caught with many other Salmon getting off or just breaking us off. We fished for a total of about 17 hours during the time there & had a blast fighting these big bruisers up to 26 pounds. Now that is how to spend your days off!!!

I fished with Alex & his two daughters, Erin & Kalie this afternoon on Lake St-Francis. The air temps were upper 70s and the water temps were around 71 degrees. Soft plastics were used to catch the 12 to 15 bass that were landed today. Erin was a whiz at the netting, so I let her have fun netting both her sister’s & father’s bass after I saw what she could do. Theres just something special about seeing children this age catching the biggest fish of their lives! Kalie, age five, landed the biggest bass today at a whopping 4.5 pounds. Both her sister & father had fish of almost equal size as well, but Big Bass honors had to go to the littlest girl. All in all, a great way to spend the afternoon, right down to the last cast when Alex landed another 3.5 pounder!

I fished a Bass Tournament with Benji today on Lake Champlain. The weather was a rather hot, humid kinda day! No wind made it feel even hotter. Air temps were in the 80s and the water temps were in the mid 70s & green. The algae bloom had Mississquoi Bay looking like someone had spilled a real big can of green paint! Both largemouth & smallmouth were caught in shallow water throughout hte day. All in all, about 25 or so fish were landed and plenty others lost. At the end of the day, a five fish total of 16.5 pounds was weighed in & a 9th place finish was what we ended up with. All in all, a pretty decent day!

I fished on Lake St-Francis with my wife, Christiane today for a few hours. The water temps had dropped since last week, with 69.5 degrees being about the warmest we could find. The shallower water had cooled off quite a bit since last week, so we opted for some offshore locations hoping to get a bit warmer water. It was a cloudy morning with a North wind of about 10 knots. The air temp was in the low 60s. We caught under 10 fish in the few short hours we fished, but they were quality ones with a couple of them going over four pounds. Once again, Mother Nature sent us off the water, early afternoon when thunder storms approached. I hope the weather changes real soon!
