That's great you reconnected with an old friend Smerchly. I'm happy for you. What planet did that brown come from? What a monster! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Thanks guys! North of T. O. I was throwing an 8 in paddle tail swim bait with a weighted hook. First time throwing it. Randomly threw it onto a beachy area and it bit on the drop off. Fish weren't on the lumber nor back bays... temps were 55 to 64... lucky catch it felt like!

Thanks! Just shy of 40 inches

Love pike hunting too! Got this one a few days ago... tough fishing tho! Was happy to get this one.

Thanks Bass-turd! Great name... hope your bucket list sturgeon becomes a reality sooner than later

Thanks guys! This one picked up a 4 inch white rubber minnow in about 10 feet of water. Great story Smerchly, bet you turned a few heads down at Port on that day!!

First cast in the glen last week and a sturgeon picked it up! Ripped across, broke water and shook its head on the surface. Then it just dove really deep and did whatever it wanted. It stopped a couple times but I couldn't gain any line at all. After a half an hour I was down to just a few feet of line... nothing I could do so I cranked my drag and put my thumb down on the spool and luckily the hook came free and I got everything back. Except the fish! Unbelievable!! First time ever having one on in my life. Luckily the steelhead fishing was good right after that going 4/6 until 10:00 a.m when the water came up like crazy. Won't forget that day!!

Fantastic!! Beautiful monster brown, congrats to you for getting out and being successful!!

They really do... always an adventure down there, fish or no fish eh... there was ice and rock letting go on the American side and smashing so violently into the river!! It was scary and awesome at the same time

Thanks Tyler! The steelhead fought really well but this one laker got in the current and fought for what felt like forever! Fun stuff

Got this one yesterday... some lakers too. Happy I got out before the storm!

Well done!! Beauty fish. Someone hasn't missed a meal in a while. Good job getting out there.

I spent the night in a White River motel as I went to the OPP station there to arrange for a chopper rescue for one of our guys who broke his ankle while he and I were taking a moose quarter down a "slippery" slope . They had wall to wall maps there and I pinpointed our camp location at Upper Mace Lake .

  That lake was full of beauty splake with awesome speck colours .... wouldn't it be great to have good speck fishing here ! 

Sounds like you've had an adventure or two there eh Smerchly! Haaa! Good speck fishing here would be amazing, I agree! Been looking a nipigon lately just for laughs. That would be a serious bucket list trip for sure!

That sounds amazing smerchly! This one was to whiteriver and then train in to lake enagi... walleye fish was also ridiculous!

I was lucky enough to have a great fishing year this year with multiple personal best catches and a ton of time on the water. The best day for me was finally jumping in a small boat and making my way across the lake after a 12 hr drive and an hour and a half train ride knowing I was in some world class fishing water. Just the feeling of being there and the anticipation was just awesome!!

Merry Christmas everyone! Tight lines for 2022!!

Thanks Surf! So what I am getting out of this is we can fish the glen, just don't be an idiot or take any chances or it will cost you...

Right on Surf and Turf. Can I ask where you got that information and where are the places you shouldn't be? I contacted the niagara parks a few weeks ago and haven't heard anything back. Thanks!

I like to blame people from Mississauga and Brampton first... too much traffic in Toronto to get anywhere

Yes charged with trespassing but not charged with the cost of the rescue

I completely agree. Post signs that say you are responsible for the cost if you require a rescue. People will think twice about bad decisions if it's going to cost them. You can't put up no trespassing signs down there... that's ridiculous 

Looks like the water is rising... not too bad, just a few more casts... oops, might get my toes wet... few more casts. Oh my God! Throw rod in water and scream for mamma!!! Pathetic!!!

Says he's an angler... no rod and no idea of how to fish safely in the lower... I get mistakes and accidents can happen but what the heck is going on in the lower lately... feels like most people that are going down there truly aren't respecting the power of the niagara. Idiots!!!!

Ya, why is he charged for trespassing at the whirlpool? 

Thanks guys! I felt really lucky to have had such an amazing trip especially to have spent that time with my Dad.
