Way north bass guy Posted August 5, 2018 Posted August 5, 2018 Sunrise over Georgian Bay this morning. One of my smallies spit up about 10 of these guys when I was reeling him in, I’d say I’m “matching the hatch” fairly well. 6 Quote

Tim Kelly Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Went out fishing yesterday and it was dire. The river Thames was 76f, which I certainly don't ever remember seeing before. Predictably the fish have pretty much shut down and even the tiny perch were proving hard to tempt with the smallest of crappie jigs. So I went exploring. Proper swallows and amazons stuff up a little backwater. Motor trimmed up and front troller held to the surface on the cord. Amazed how far I got, the boat must only draft about 4"! Anyway, got to a gravel flat that I couldn't pass and got out for a splash around. The dogs loved it charging about in ankle deep water. I doubt many boats had ever been up there, a few kayaks probably, but I had it to myself only about 12 miles from the center of London! The heatwave is predicted to end in the next week or so, so better make the best of it. The last summer like this was 1976. We don't get many great summers! ? 12 Quote

The main lake bite has been slow, so we headed up in the headwaters and found a little pattern pitching jigs in very shallow laydowns and log jams. No real size to speak of but was able to catch a few in this range. I think next week, we are going back with kayaks and see how far we can really go. 10 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 6, 2018 Global Moderator Posted August 6, 2018 I too enjoy getting up the creeks in search of those less pressured fish. 9 1 Quote
Logan S Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Yep same here, can't let the yaks, canoes, and AL/Jet boats have all the fun 8 Quote
Tim Kelly Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 This is becoming a "thing"! Who needs BFS, we seem to have a SCF revolution going on. Shallow Creek Fishing. Now how can we make money out of SCF? ? 1 Quote

One of the last tournaments I won was WAY up a creek while everyone else was on the struggle bus looking for fish that didn't want to play on the main lake. Doubled everyone else's weights despite fishing poorly and losing a few big ones. 4 Quote

Super User NHBull Posted August 9, 2018 Super User Posted August 9, 2018 It's funny how kids react to watching you catch a fish. This morning when my son asked my grandson what he wanted for breakfast, the reply was "crank?" 5 5 Quote

Tim Kelly Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Enjoyed the film A-Jay. I would be scared to get on your boat, I'd definitely make it look untidy. Quote
