After getting skunked 5 TIMES IN A ROW, I have finally done it!!!! I started the morning off with a small Pike! About 18" in length, and around 2-3lbs I believe. After that I got a nice Perch followed by a 3lb largemouth, and a 1-2lb smally. Man do those smallys fight!! Fought way harder than the largy thats for sure! A great time was had by all. The record for the day was set by my girlfriend's brother - 30" Pike weighing in at almost 6lbs!

Got skunked for the 4th time straight yesterday. To be fair though I only went shore fishing for an hour, and there was a funny incident too... So on my last cast I decided to try and cast my Rapala Shad out as far as possible. I lean back and I sent that thing FLYING... well I think there was either an imperfection in the line or the bail closed while the line was being cast out but in the end the line snapped. So I just see my crankbait floating there, along with the line still attached to it.. As I'm watching my lure float away, something, I think it was a walleye, comes up and hits it! Talk about bad luck man... he couldn't have hit the other 50 times I casted out? Hahaha Headed off to the docks today with my girlfriend's Dad to fish on the Trent River. Wish me luck!!!

Last week I went to Rice Lake for a fishing trip on a boat with my girlfriend and her father. It was my first time fishing freshwater in like 6-7 years, and the first time I've ever spent some time with her Dad. After fishing from noon-7PM, her Dad caught 5-7 largies that weighed no more than a 1lb+1/2, my girlfriend caught a sunfish, and I caught nothing. I didn't mind, it was fun to get out and I had a good time. On Monday we went out again, this time to Presqu'ile Bay and the Quinte Bay channel on the boat. Her Dad caught 3-5 largies that all averaged around 1lb, her brother caught a 1lb Walleye, and my girlfriend and I caught nothing... We fished from 1PM-9PM. Today I went out with just my girlfriend to the Otonabee river. We fished from 2PM-4PM - she caught a 1lb Bass, and I got skunked AGAIN!!! 3 times in a row!! I've tried everything!!!! Senkos; carolina rigged, wakky, and texas rigged. An assortment of top-water crankbait with colours ranging from white/red, to gold/red, yellow/white (some with/without rattlers). I've tried pad crashers in the late evening in areas with lily pads. Jitterbugs.. Top-water poppers... I've honestly every combination in my tackle box at least twice. I still have a great time while I'm out there though. Better than staying in all day and I always have a good laugh... but **** man, I'm starting to get frustrated. What's a guy have to do to catch a bass around here? We're going out again on Sunday to the Bay of Quinte. Wish me luck!
