I fished with Max & Denis on Lake St-Louis today. We began trying for Largemouth Bass in the shallower weedy areas and flipped for about an hour or so. A few fish were landed up to 5 pounds and a few others were lost. The weather was quite cool & cloudy and the air temps were barely 55 degrees. The weather changed during the day and it finally warmed up enough for t-shirts in the afternoon. We moved around & managed to get into about 20 to 25 smallmouth bass up to about 4.5 pounds before the day was over. All in all, a fairly productive day on Lake St-Louis!!!

I fished for King Salmon on Lake Ontario for 3 days with my wife Christiane & a friend, Rick. The fishing was slow but very rewarding with wire lines & downriggers being used. Trolling flashers & flies on the wire & J-Plugs on the riggers accounted for the 10 or so fish hooked up. The largest salmon went around 25 pounds & the others ranged from 12 to 20 pounds. All in all, a great time with the weather cooperating quite well. The air temps were in the 60’s to mid 70’s most of the time making this experience on Lake Ontario a very enjoyable weekend trip.

Once again, I fished with my wife Christiane on another day off! We headed out to Lake Champlain again in search of Largemouth Bass. Air temps were probably in the 90s with unbelievable humidity. The water temps got into the upper 70,s. There was literally no wind! What a scorcher! It took Christiane about 3 casts after I showed her a new technique, to hook into the first bass of the afternoon. At almost 4 pounds it was a nice way to get started! She continued to catch more as the afternoon went on and it seemed like she was getting the bigger ones too! At the end of the day we probably had close to 15 or more landed and several other missed strikes. Pretty good afternoon for less than 6 hours of fishing!!

I fished with Andre & his son, Dane on Lake St-Francis today. The conditions were suppose to be terrible, according to the weatherman, but this time he was wrong for the better. We had a slight wind from the S/SW at less than 10 knots that only got up to about 15 at the worst, during the day. The storms that they had predicted never really happened either. The air temps got into the 80s & the water temps were in the mid 70s. Both largemouth & smallmouth bass were caught on a variety of lures in a variety of locations. Right down to the last cast of the day, Dane caught a nice largemouth of 4 pounds. Talk about a Hail Mary!! Close to a dozen fish were caught and plenty of others lost as well.

I fished with Nathan & his two sons, Devon & Shane today on Lake Champlain. We had winds of 20 to 30 knots from the S/W with gusts up to 40. Finding a sheltered area to fish was a must in these conditions! Air temps were in the 80s and the water temps were in the upper 60s and in some places the lower 70s. Yesterdays N/E winds really cooled the shallower water! It wasnt long before we found some warmer water & some largemouth willing to bite. Soft plastic lures & Scum Frogs thrown over vegetation managed to persuade some of the fish to actually feed. By the end of the day we had really gotten into an area that seemed to be holding quite a few quality sized largemouth up to & over 4 pounds. Too bad we had to leave! Probably close to 15 or so fish fell victim to the offerings on this BREEZY day!!!
