Well it's a slow day at work today so i figered I'd try my hand at my first fishing report here! First trip I took with my cousin, a city slicker from Montreal. We went on a camping/fishing trip on a lake near Joncas chasing walleye. The trip started as a disaster, last minute planning.....Well we had almost no food, i forgot all my clothes and his motor wouldnt work! to make things worse, we were greeted by this little pile right where we set up camp. The wind was howling and my electric motor was really struggling, but that wasnt gonna ruin our trip. Finicky walleyes...that might do it! Well we eventually figered out that orange was the hot color. NEver in a million years would i have thought that orange double tail mister twisters would save our trip, but they sure did. Since we were lacking food, we needed to catch fish to eat. I'm not going to show the stringer of eaters, but i will show you this hog, look at the blue on it's back...awsome fish.



Oh and this was waiting to greet us upon out arrival at our camping spot

Just perfect, a bear who obviously has a taste for flesh!! We heard him at night a few times, my poor cousin didnt know what to think. I just went back to bed.

Well when i got back it was time to bring my big brother for a little trip to my bass/pike lake. Now my brother comes fishing with me quite a bit, but he more enjoys eating and relaxing in the boat. He'll fish, but not serious about it. Over the years my brother has netted quite a few muskie for me, while never catching one himself. He's netted countless big largemouth and big pike for me as well, all the while never getting his own. His main problem is he refuses to use baitcasters, he neverhas the power/backbone to fish big lures and play big fish. Well this trip was going to be different, i was lending him my compre/calcutta combo, basically a winch and telephone pole by his standards. Well the day started out brutal, the water was like glass...a terrible sign on this lake. After a few hours of plucking the odd fish from shore lines a south wind picked up and started to really blow. Perfect, off we go to the north shore. Well the damn things were stacked on the drop off, i could see them on my sonar clear as day. Well i dropped a sweet beaver down and watched the red blobs swim up to my bait but no bite, heck i could even lift the fish 4 feet from bottom with their nose glued to my beaver, but no bites. So senko time i figer. Grab a wieghted northland hook, slide on a green.white gary yamamoto and BANG. Gary saves the day.


After plucking away at largies for a while we decide to look for my openwater pike. Well almost 2 hours of trolling i had one hit, but the big difference today was i saw no baitballs. back to the north shore we go and work the bottom of the drop off, me with a bulldawg and spinnerbait. my bro with a wildeye. Well we get into em, mostly around this size.


Not too shabby, but not what we are after. Well my brother decides it's nap time, he was done with fishing for the day...not I...I keep fishing. Finnally when the time is running out i tell my brother, we'll we're not leaving till you catch one more fish, and make it count, show me what you got! Well within a few minuts i see that compre bend right over, damn bro's got a beast!! Well the picture is worth a thousand words, this is the biggest fish of his life!


Way to go Bro! Skinny bugger....the fish i mean...but good length!

Well sure hope this works! Thanks Craig for the step by step to add pictures

nice report, big fish!

Are you sure that was bear poo? At this time of year, bear dung should have mostly berries. Wolves, on the other hand, continue to scavenge for furry creatures throughout the summer.

... And @ Joncas, there are A LOT of wolves.

Well from the size of that pile....if it was a wolf I'm never going back!!!!

My money is on bear though, there were alot of tracks.

beautifull fish'z

Great first report, and awsome fish way to go guys

I'm almost positive that's a wolf turd. The fuzziness indicates it's a carnivore (that's hair). Bear dung is usually full of berries, less solid and more like a "pile".

Let me tell you MudPout... this guy knows his chit!

Great first report... love the narrative.

I hope this is the first of many to come big guy!!

Cong to your bro!!!

Nice post with some nice fish. I think its bear crap fer sure. I think that the bear had found himself a dead beaver or something. if it was a wolf, it would resemble a turd and that just looks like a pile.

Awesome report. Glad you guys hooked onto some fish and didn't starve

"I'm almost positive that's a wolf turd. The fuzziness indicates it's a carnivore (that's hair). Bear dung is usually full of berries, less solid and more like a "pile"."

Obviously that was fur in the pile...that's why it was picture worthy, thats what had me wary. Bears are not exclusive diners, they eat what they find. In this case prob a carcass. There were tracks around. The shape and size was all bear. I guess size is hard to tell from that pic since there is nothing to scale it by, but no way thats coming out of a wolf.

Why focus on a pile of crap with all that fish porn?
