Super User fishballer06 Posted May 30, 2017 Super User Posted May 30, 2017 I just got back from a 10 day trip to Ontario Canada (9 spent fishing). We fished two different lakes during my trip. The weather was changing every day and was making the fishing conditions tough on us the whole time. The water was 64* the day we got there, it dropped to 57* three days later, and it was 69* on the day I left. So as you can imagine, this really screwed with the bite. I caught the majority of my fish on Keitech SIF swimbaits (3.3 and 3.8") and Lake Fork Magic Shads (3.5") on a 3/8oz. swimbait head. I also caught some fish along the way on Baby 1-, Rat-L-Traps, DT's, Pointer 78's, Vision 110's and Lucky Craft DR crankbaits. The majority of our fish came in 3-7' of water in weedy flats. I racked up a lot of smallmouth and a few walleye's targetting rocky banks, islands, and main lake rock points/bars. It rained 7 of the 10 days there and that pattern seemed to stick for me. On the sunny days was whenever the jerkbait worked for me in the 8-11' creek channels off of the weedy flats. 8 Quote

Super User fishballer06 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Super User Posted May 30, 2017 2 minutes ago, Dwight Hottle said: Looks like a Canadian mixed bag. We primarily targeted walleye. However, in Canada, bass and pike just come with the territory. We caught 90 total walleye while I was there, and I had the most of our group of five guys with 29 of those walleye. One of the guys in our group was a very inexperienced fishermen who had just bought his first boat, so I spent most of the time fishing with him and running the front of his boat for him and teaching him how to run a boat and catch fish. On days where the walleye weren't cooperating was whenever I put him on spots that produced a lot of bass so that he would still have a fun time catching fish. We all know how temperamental walleye can be. Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted May 30, 2017 Super User Posted May 30, 2017 Nice trip and fish. I'd like to make the trip to Canada soon to chase some smallies, walleye and pike. Quote
XpressJeff Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Hmmmm, shore lunch! Looks like you had a good time all things considered. Good job sir! Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Super User Posted June 19, 2017 One of the guys finally sent me his pictures from the trip. This was my biggest smallmouth from the trip. I caught this fish on an Evergreen CH-1 crankbait. 2 Quote
