How was your year?

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

How was your year?

Post by Troller »

Hi Guys and Gals,
I just put my boat away. :cry: Now the weekends are a write off with hockey and basketball etc for my two sons. I know there is still good fishing now and I might even do a red eye express for a day to BOQ in November. I am just wondering how everyone's year has been ? Personally, I have had my best year for fishing in a long time. I got out a lot with my sons and friends. There were no PB's for me this year, but a lot of fish caught for me. I also witnessed and landed three PB's for one son and two PB's for the other this year. Also a number of PB's for their friends. Not to mention whenever I hook a fish I automatically lose my rod to a smaller pair of hands now lol. I take kids fishing a lot in my boat, so it has been very rewarding. After all, these guys are the future of fishing.
So how has your year been?
Dave

I moved to Rockland last winter from Sudbury and my goal was to take this year to figure out the fishing here, and I must say, Mission Accomplished! :D Had a blast with spring pike, the walleye and sauger fishing was decent all summer, great so far this fall (except for last week, just when you think you have 'em figured out....) I didn't catch any largies but I did miss quite a few on topwaters, so that's exciting for next year. I found a bunch of great looking spots and I even managed to land a muskie, albeit while pike fishing and only a 5lber. All and all, a good year, and next year should be even better. My boat will be out until the ice is on, and hopefully the river's frozen the day after that :wink: .
Tight lines everyone,
Yannick

Best year fishing

Post by Chewie »

My first year with my own boat so I did much more fishing this year than any previous. I was out over 40 times so the fishing was great most days but the end of the season really slowed down for me. Caught my biggest fish this year as well. A 25 lb Carp. The most productive day my buddy and I caught 54 fish with a total weight of over 200lbs. That was an awsome day with a 22 lb channel cat to boot. Have not gotten posting pics down yet but there are a few of them in the Galleries.

It was a great season, and surely one of the best by far! No new PB best beasts but I fished and marked a lot of new and old water and better yet, had the pleasure to fish with and meet a BUNCH of new Hawkers! Caught lots of fish and learned a whole lot too. Never thought I would say this but I can't wait to get through winter to get back on the water in the spring...It will be a totally new game next season :D :wink: Thanks everyone!

My years was pretty good with some up and down :roll: . The spring start pretty good with bullheads perch and crappy :) . Then was the pike and walleyes with some pretty good pike but not many walleyes other then some dinks eyes :roll: . Then I had some oppertunity to caught some channel cats and sheesheads :) . Then the bass season starts with lots of 12" bass and I could keep these little bass out of my line with the biggest at 17" and I had a musky ho broke my line twice in Kemptville :( that I would estimate at 40" long and the last time I was there I almost caught it he just got away in front of me :cry: . I was trying for perch in the St Lawrence for a months o so with not mutch succes until yesterday as I managed to caught 35 perchs with a 12" jumbo the biggest of the day :) .

But the saddliest moment I had in a while came at the end of August this year as the fiance of a co worker of mind and she was a good friend of mind got killed in a motorcycle accident near Moose Creek :cry: that was very sad and I was not filling good for about 2 weeks and I was just sad and didn't eat for almost a week because of that I taught for a while I was doing a depression but i went through and my days are a lot brighter now and I was very sensibles for a while and Im still sensible.

It was my first year with a boat and the fishing wasn't to bad. I got a lot of great advice from people on this board. Also had the chance to explore alot of new water so hopefully next year the fish will be more consistent for me.
