Bass-turd

Forgot to mention the fish measured in at 14.5 inches long

Well back I was for more action at Jordan harbour, brought my pike and trout rod looking for some, well, pike or trout. I wasn't surprised when I ended up with a perch and a bass since I always catch fish i'm not geared for. What I wasn't expecting was to get my personal best perch while casting for trout with a #5 blue fox vibrax.

you've got a good solid week of beautiful weather, probably the last we'll see of these temps until next year unfortunately

Forgot to add the beautiful sunset at the end

Went down this evening to fish the last hour of daylight, thought i'd go for some late season pike, and I know this meant my odds of hooking up with a trout if anything were good since half the time I go there for pike I get a trout, half the time I cast for trout I get a pike.....and tonight didn't disappoint Got a nice male about 6-7 pounds casting a silver/purple rapala bx simmer

There really aren't too many better feelings in fishing then a new PB of one of your favorite species..... WTG congrats 👍

I can’t stand fishing with the crowds during spring and fall runs, drives me nuts, just can’t seem to enjoy myself in traffic. Great on you to stick it out for some success

Happy bass opener to all Lake Ontario (zone 20) anglers, looking forward to phase 2 when the rest of the province opens up next week, going up to moon river with some family, can’t wait, six more sleeps 😁

Yes, I definitely also have a few questions, it sucks for those other boat owners who lost their vessel because of someone else’s stupidity

The schools of fish I saw at Jordan seemed to be in the 20inch range or so, bout 6-8 of em, they seemed to be a bit larger then I thought they would normally be for a gizzard shad, at first I thought they were a school of Asian carp 😧

I was at Jordan a few days ago, saw the same thing as I was fishing for pike, definitely a gizzard shad

I also remove the middle trebles of all my jerkbaits, I really don't see any point to having three trebles on a five or six inch lure, just a rake of hook points that can really hurt the fish unnecessarily, and no loss in hooking percentage

Very nice but what did you weigh it with? At almost 38” it would definitely be over ten pounds for sure, especially with the girth I’m seeing in the pic... just my opinion

Lol I love finding loop holes, I’m pretty sure my hiking stick also doubles as a fishing rod, it’s not my fault it has guides, a reel, line and a lure attached and it only lets me hike on shore

Just heard the news, I know it’s not much but it’s a step in the right direction. The provincial website has Ford encouraging recreational activities for day-use only for now, and he mentions, walking, hiking, biking and birdwatching, but doesn’t include fishing. I’m sure fishing would be included in those recreational activities, just doesn’t name every one of em. Anyways hopefully this is the first little light at the end of a long gruelling tunnel. Thoughts?
